A New Random Thinker

[kyle1234513]

A very poor man gets commissioned to clean a specific room of a very rich mans house. In an earnest attempt to make more money he cleans the whole house. Soon afterwards the man quits his job and doesn't want any payment. Why?


answer - No one guessed correctly. The question was based off the movie Aladdin. The "Ludicrously wealthy" owner had used the magic lamp to wish for money himself. The magic lamp was just in another room of the house. This is why the owner only wanted the poor person to clean one specific room and nowhere else. By cleaning "the whole house" he cleans the magic lamp, and gets his wishes. He wishes for money and by default he quits his job.

He stole stuff from the rich guy.

[kyle1234513]

nope

[AppleyNO]

nope
He has poor business sense, thats why he is poor.

[kyle1234513]

irrelevant

[AppleyNO]

irrelevant
He broke his contract and the rich guy didn't pay him

[deathworlds]

Cause the house was already clean.

[kyle1234513]

both no

[Helz]

He anticipated payment for work he was not asked to do but when the job was finished he was paid for what he was contracted to do which was clean a specific room (And not the whole house). This made him uspest.

[kyle1234513]

nope

[ika]

he got the house

or he died

[Coast]

Everyone is focusing on the poor man when in reality the rich man quit his job, and didn't want any further payment because he's rich. The poor guy still expects to be payed.

love the insight, but "the man" does refer to the poor man, and about the task at hand. so no.

[Helz]

I do not see how the rich man quitting would result in the poor man not wanting payment.. That makes no sense..

[Coast]

The story doesn't say the man is jobless - just poor. The poor man currently receives a small commission from the house cleaning service he is employed by. Although the poor man is very poor, he's also a excellent house cleaner. The rich man offers him a full time position as his live-in maid, and the poor man quits his job at the cleaning service, and doesn't expect his commission for the work he did.

Poor man is Rich man's son. Rich man died. Poor man inherited Rich man's money.

[Coast]

It wasn't clear who wasn't wanting payment. I specified that the rich man didn't want payment from his job that he quit, but Kyle cleared it up.

[Arrow]

The poor man finds a dead body (or bodies) while cleaning the house and quits before he ends up with them for knowing too much.

[creedkingsx]

Poor man is Rich man's son. Rich man died. Poor man inherited Rich man's money.

I like this answer the best, so far.

[jaczac]

The rich man lived in some kind of historical home?

then he is ashamed of destroying the history

[Orpz]

The North won the war while he was cleaning, so he was free.

[creedkingsx]

The North won the war while he was cleaning, so he was free.

lol

[Duzero]

He was seduced by the rich man's wife while cleaning the bedroom, then he's scared to meet the rich man in case he finds out.

[kyle1234513]

all answers so far have been a no.

as promised heres a hint.

Think of things you might find in a "ludicrously" rich mans house. Note the quotation marks.

[Helz]

The poor man stole a brick of gold and lived happily ever after.

[Arrow]

The items that the poor man cleaned up were worth more than he was being offered in payment. He cleaned up the 'trash', resold it, and now no longer needs the pittance he's owed.

[kyle1234513]

both of those would still fall under stealing, nothing was stolen. so still no.

[creedkingsx]

The poor man found the wife cheating.

[Glip]

Poor man discovered evidence of the Rich man's involvement in illegal drug trade and money laundering (which is how Rich man got rich). Rather than take dirty money and get linked to the illegal activities, he quits and refuses payment.

[kyle1234513]

both wrong again. ill give another hint later this evening.

[Hypersniper]

he finds a gun made of solid diamond and fired solid gold bullets in the rich mans house with the words "Commie Killer" on it the poor man (being a communist) decided he finish the job and get out not wanting the rich man to find out he quits, says no to the money and flees from the city, where he meets putin on his holiday, Putin decides to give the man a job as his personal bodyguard with a salary of 4,000 american dollers a day(143,296.00 russian ruble), and he lives a happy life never to meet that rich guy again

[Hypersniper]

and is the rich mans name jordan belfort, and does this man own a stock brokers

[creedkingsx]

He realized that cleaning is a woman's thing and he just wasn't very good at it.

[kyle1234513]

since you guys aren't close...... =/

heres a big hint.

Think Disney

[creedkingsx]

He chose to build a snowman instead of clean the house.

[Coast]

He held a grudge against the man for not paying him the full amount and planned on murdering the man. He realizes a life in jail wasn't worth it so he.... let it go.

[Coast]

Kyle... No one is going to guess this lol. Can you just reveal the answer, and start another one?

[kyle1234513]

ill post the answer later tonight if no one gets it by then. in the mean time, start firing away anything and everything.

the final hint - answer is within a 1990's disney movie. also focus on the words "whole house cleaned" and what that means.

[Orpz]

the guy cleaned his house and found his toys were fucking alive

[kyle1234513]

answer was given over skype. check OP for the answer and the explanation.

[AppleyNO]

No one guessed correctly. The question was based off the movie Aladdin. The "Ludicrously wealthy" owner had used the magic lamp to wish for money himself. The magic lamp was just in another room of the house. This is why the owner only wanted the poor person to clean one specific room and nowhere else.

There was not even close to enough information to figure out the answer.

There was not even close to enough information to figure out the answer.

the only necessary bit was the part of it being a "mythical" answer and not a regular logical answer. aside from that the hints gave more than enough to solve it. and if you mean based on the OP alone, i will admit that if i used mythic response somewhere in there it could've been solvable.
