There is a primitive village that has this odd custom, that when a woman cheats on her husband, she tells every man in the village about it, except for her husband. Men never talk about cheats they are aware of with each other. The custom also says that when a man realizes he's been cheated, he hangs his wife at the same night. There comes a time in the village when the priest has to leave and he announces that there have been cheats in the village. The morning after everybody can see that no woman was hung. The same goes also for the next morning. But on the third morning there were women hung. How many, and how did their husbands find out? Keep in mind that men do not talk to each other about cheats and that they are very clever.
The full detailed answer is found below, but first, a fantasy based on the occurrences in the village, upon the priests announcement.
(fff hanging)
The priest is leaving. He called all of us tonight, and said that some of our women has cheated on us. I looked at Amanda, my wife, as he said that. Her face was the same. Could she be one of them ? I feel I must know. I know about Jane and Tracy. We all know about every cheat except ours. Amanda is rock solid, not a movement. She couldn't ... On the other hand, she was always a great liar and a good actor. I take a peak at Tracy, she has a small smile on her face. That crazy thin, red haired girl. Doesn't she know she is about to be uncovered ? is it an ironic smile ? she was always peculiar, maybe she gets a strange kick from it. Jane is pale. I can't help but notice. It doesn't become her, since she is usually not dark at all, and now she is even more so. Like Mandy, her daughter, she is very feminine. Her body is full, but not fat. She has a great figure. I always wanted her, but I will never have her. She will die soon. Her great body will dangle on the tree in Rick's yard. She sits next to me, a bit bent, suddenly weak, and pale. She must know the score. I'm trying to peak at the others and see if my wife attracts any attention. She should if she was to hang. Its hard to tell. I know I'll find out soon, but I can't wait.
Two cheats I know of. Well, this means that no one will be hung tomorrow morning. No one would be able to tell. But the next morning is my test case. If Jane and Tracy are hung by then, Amanda is off the hook. If not, they earn one more day on account of my wife's infidelity.
I go home with Amanda. She seems to act normal. I suspect her bad. The only thing different is that today she feels extra hot. She holds me tighter, and I know she wants sex tonight. Is she trying to cover up ? Excited by the news and the up coming hangings ? I can't tell. Tom and Anna, our children, are asleep when we get home. Amanda hugs me tight, she kisses me. I'm too tense. "What is it darling ?", She asks. "Well ... I can't help but wondering ...". She looks at me with a bit of a frown. "You suspect me. Suppose I was unfaithful, do you expect me to tell you ? I'm not allowed even if I wanted to." I sigh. "Yes I know, but you must know by now that if you did, I'll know soon enough for sure". "Forget it darling," she says, "I was never into such detailed logic. If you find out that I did something wrong, do what you have to do." I hold her now. "Did you ever think about hanging ?", I ask. "I don't want to die," she says, "if they ever hanged me I'd kick like hell."
We fall on the bed. It turns out to be a very hot night. I'm tense and angry and fuck her hard. She likes it that way. She knows how to give a full return as well.
Next morning, I check on Tom and Anna. I feel I have to prepare them to what might happen. They already felt that the whole village is up side down. I tell them that soon there will be hangings. They are old enough to understand. They ask about Amanda. They say they want to watch it if ... I tell them I'll consider it.
I tell Amanda to buy rope. I'll fix the yard tree just in case. I can see a little twitch that goes through her when I ask it. Otherwise, I can't tell. She does what I tell her. When she gets it, I tie a noose while she is still there. I want to see her break, but she doesn't. I figure even she can't be that strong. The noose is a coiled noose. I throw it on the thickest branch, and prepare a box for her to stand on. Many other guys do the same in their yard, just in case.
Jane's husband is Rick. They are our friends. It was hard for me not to tell Rick about Jane all this time. They are so different from us about it though. Rick doesn't seem to care or feel any stress at all. Jane on the other hand is a very organized and smart girl. She knows that her end is near, and my guess is that she already got a rope, fixed with a noose, ready for herself, and that when Rick will find out and gives her a notice, she will take care of all things by herself. Jane pays me a little visit. She knows its time to say goodbye, and that I, and all the other men know about her, so no harm can be done by parting from me. "Hello Jane", I tell her when she comes. I'm sorry things turned out like this. "Yes," she says, "Rick will know soon enough. I'm using the little time I have to get used to the idea. You know me. Always prepared." She gives a little smile. I smile back. "If you wonder if I already got the rope ready, you do know me well. I fixed up my own noose. It is weird. I even thought about how I would tie the rope to our tree, and all the other details. I don't know when its going to be, but I'm ready." I give her a big hug. "I'll always remember you", I say. "Anything I can do for you ?". She hugs me back, and says : "Well, if it turns out that Amanda gets the rope as well, could you take care of Mandy ? She is grown up by now, and she likes you very much, but too shy to do anything. I think my daughter would need someone, now that I'll be gone. I already said goodbye to her, she cried allot. You would make a great husband for her. Do you like her ?" I go back, smile, and say : "I always saw her as a little girl, but she is a woman now, and such a beautiful one. I give you my word that if Amanda kicks, and Mandy wants me, I'll take her." Jane is a bit more relaxed now. In a moment of fooling around she slips her tongue out, stretches her neck, makes her body a bit limp, and acts as if her body is hung. I need that comic relief after all that solemn atmosphere. I give a small laugh, and she does too. I kiss her on the cheek, and say goodbye. What a girl.
Mandy comes next. We meet outside so Amanda wouldn't know. We hug and talk and I say she can come to see Amanda hang if she does. In that case, I want to take her home and have sex with her right after Amanda dies. I can hardly keep my hands off her now. Her body is so young and full of promise. She is developed to her age, big firm tits, nice ass, not to mention a looker. Long brown hair, green eyes, sensual lips. I can hardly hold myself. I'll be the envy of the village. I almost wish Amanda would die.
I wake up the next morning. This is the moment of truth. If Jane and Tracy were hanged in their yards this morning, Amanda lives, and I don't re-marry with Mandy. This is such an important moment for me. My whole future depends on if Amanda was unfaithful, and in just a few moments, after a very short walk over to Rick's house, I will know for sure.
I get up and walk over to Rick's. I have my eyes closed as I get to the yard. When I open my eyes, I might see Jane dangling from her rope. I open my eyes and look at the tree. Nothing there. It all hits me in one moment. Amanda was unfaithful, she will hang next morning like Jane and Tracy. Rick always knew about Amanda, and couldn't tell me, like I never told him about Jane. I remember when Jonny came so smug to everyone and told them, like he had to, about the wild nights he had with Jane and Tracy. Was he the one who did Amanda ? Women found it hard to resist him for some reason.
Jane welcomes me, and can see it in my eyes that I know about Amanda, and this means that she will hang tomorrow. We never mention the subject directly, she only asks me once more about Mandy, and I restate my promise. Rick also knows by now. He knows that I know as well. We both feel ashamed for not telling each other, even though we couldn't. The situation is embarrecing, so I go and allow Rick to give Jane her notice. I take the long way home to see that Tracy is not hanged, even though I know she couldn't be. Then I go home. By the time I pass by Rick's house I see Jane fixing the noose she prepared on their tree. She waves me goodbye with a sad smile. I know that its the last time I'll see her alive. Mandy is out there looking at me, I whisper in her ear that she should drop bye at my place tomorrow before dawn. She nods.
I get back home. This is going to be tuff. I tell Tom and Anna I decided to let them watch Amanda's hanging. They don't say much. After that I go to Amanda. I decide to tell her only late at night. I want to see if she will keep up the act. I'm mad at her, but I also love her. I will never have another chance to be with her after today.
At night, we lie side by side. I look at her with an accusing stare. She ignores it. I make love to her, enjoying her for the last time. I'm mad at her but must say goodbye to her body. She feels I know. She gives me a great blow job, and then she hugs me, and waits. I tell her that I know, and give her my notice for tomorrow. She lowers her eyes and says she is sorry. She knows she will be very sorry tomorrow morning. "I'm ready, John. Do what you have to do," she says. Her voice is soft, and I can hear her fear. "I have to pay for what I did. I love you and wish you all the best. Don't feel guilty, its all my fault. Be strong tomorrow, I hope I can."
I can't feel angry now, I just feel sorry for her now. I still love her, but I also know I'll kick her box from under her without hesitation. She must pay for what she did. I'm not angry, but part of it is because she will pay dearly for her mistake.
I wake up early next day. I can hear Tom and Anna are up, and ready. I know Mandy is probably out there by the hanging tree. I wake Amanda up. I tell her its time. She gets up and put on her finest dress, and makes herself up. I don't understand what's so important about that now. Well, maybe I do. Her body will be displayed for all to see until the sun sets.
When she is ready. I go out with her and the kids. Mandy is waiting for us outside. Amanda gives me an angry look, but says nothing for a while. Then she hisses : "I just hope you both wait until my body is cold." I don't respond. We won't. She knows I for one have been faithful all that time. Fucking Mandy in our bed while her lifeless body dangles for all to see is the other reason I can't feel mad at her.
Mandy smiles at me. She runs towards me and give me a hug and a little kiss. "Hey people," Amanda gives a holler, "I'm not dead yet. Can't you at least have some respect for the dying ?". Mandy backs off, blushing. She is such a sweet girl. I turn my attention to the job at hand. I tie Amanda's hands behind her, and move her to the box. I order her to stand on it. She gives a little sigh, and climbs on top of it. All of us are silent. I take the noose and push her head into it. She is pale. She does her best not to cry. She stands tall, and try to give a little smile so she can be seen as brave. She doesn't want to give Mandy any additional satisfaction.
The loop goes around her neck and I tighten it. I wait for her to step down by herself or say something. She looks at Tom and Anna with a loving look. They hold each other's hands. Tom finds it hard to look away to the side, and closes his eyes. Anna can't keep her eyes off her Mother's neck, now encircled with my noose. Then she looks up at her eyes. "Goodbye my children", Amanda says. I almost think she will be brave enough to step down. She can't. She looks at me with a look of waiting mixed with fear. "Remove the box slowly, John. Don't kick it. I'm sorry for what I did, and want to pay for it. Do it now."
I walk over, and slowly remove the box with my foot. Amanda tries to keep herself on top of it, but soon goes one leg, and then the other. She is hanged. Falling a few inches, she sways on the end of her rope for a while, and then she starts to kick. I walk over to Mandy and put my arm behind her back, my hand on her hip. We both watch as Amanda is paying for her crime. Amanda, passionate as always, never fails even now. She kicks all over, in all directions, making her dress jump up and down. When her legs go up in our direction we can see her panties. Her face is red as she keeps her fight. Her struggles slow down over time, yet she keeps it up for a long time. Twitching, kicking, jumping, jerking, shaking, its all there. Once Tom looks at her again, he can't stop looking. After long full five minutes, she slows down to random twitches. Tongue all out, head down, shoulders bent forward, body all limp. The hard fight makes her body sway allot, but she is almost finished. Mandy wants to get inside so I can fuck her brains out, but I wait until I'm sure Amanda is dead. I give her a few minutes after she stops twitching, and soils her underwear, then I go to check her heart. She is dead. Mandy is pleased. I'm hers now.
Mandy wanted me to be with her now, but I had something else on my mind. I wondered about Tracy. She must be hanging right now. Mandy didn't want to go at first. I think she wanted to save that sweet moment, and considering that her own mother was to be hanged soon, other hangings were probably not her first priority now. It didn't help her because I had my mind set. I wanted to see Tracy. She came with me reluctantly, and we both stood outside Tracy's yard. Tracy was already hanging when we came, but it was much different than the previous one we saw. Tracy was in her early 20's, thin, and crazy. She was not hanging to death, she was fucking herself to death. With a skirt, and a vibrator in her cunt she did fucking movements while her husband was helping her with her tits. How thoughtful of him, I thought. We both stood there, unnoticed, watching, or should I say "staring at", Tracy getting an orgasm, and then another one, and then she gave a funny twitch like she had high voltage going through her, and she went limp. Her husband took the vibrator out, and kept her on display for the day, like custom says he should.
Mandy was all over me. That scene obviously made her hot. I told her to go home and wait for me. Still some unfinished business that can't wait. She gave me a long face but didn't argue. I went to Rick's house. Jane twisted on the rope she prepared for herself. Totally lifeless by now, with a broken neck. I knew she designed a quick death for herself, and it became her.
"Hi Rick," I said. Rick welcomed me. "Hi John, how are you ?" Rick say. "Sorry about Amanda, but you shouldn't be upset about it. She didn't love you anymore, I'm sure of that." I took a minute to think, and the I asked : "Why do you say that ?" "Well," he starts to answer, "I'm sorry I have to tell you, but now I can. She didn't cheat on you just once. She had a very long relationship with Edi. They would see each other now and then. When we asked her about it she joked that he was the better man. I think she stopped loving you long ago."
Needless to say I became a bit mad. I felt like going to my backyard, tearing her dress, leaving her naked for all to see, and throwing in a sign saying "I'm a whore" on her chest. I cooled down thinking that the kids suffered more than enough already.
Rick saw I was mad. "Don't let it get to you buddy" he said, "stop thinking about her. She is dead now. Let her rot on her rope. You need to start thinking about another girl for yourself." I smiled. "Don't worry Rick, I intend to re-marry real soon." "good for you !", Rick said. If only he knew ... I'm not going to tell him. Not now. "How long have Amanda been with Edi ?" I ask, "Was it a long time ?". Rick paused and said : "Yes it was. But I know what you are worried about, and that's ok, she started seeing him after Tom was born, so your children are yours." "That's a relief," I say, "so much sex with the 'better man' and she never got pregnant from him. I'd laugh if I was in the mood for it. I see Jane had a Merciful death." "Oh yeh," Rick say, "she knows her stuff. Must have been reading hanging manuals the past few days. A simple blow to the neck, and she was gone. Probably could have a promising career as a hangwoman if she wasn't her first victim. I didn't have to do anything. She just went ahead and hanged herself. It was so fast. Look, she even dug her own grave." This reminded me what I didn't think about, that on top of it all I have to dig a whole for that big fat whore. Rick knew how to marry. The lazy bum didn't have to do anything all his days with her. Well, I thought, at least I'm getting her daughter. This reminded me Mandy was waiting. I said my goodbyes and went.
The answer : On the third morning there are three women hanged.
We know there were cheats. Lets say X where X is not zero. Every man in the village knows of all X cheats if he was not cheated, or X-1 if he was cheated. And each of them, being very clever, knows that this is the case with all other men. What each can't tell is in which situation he is, but he is pissed because he knows there are cheats, and prepares a rope. Being very clever each also know that they will know soon enough.
We know, and all the men find out, that in the first morning no women ware hung. This means that there are more than one cheat. If there was only one, the man who was cheated would find out, and hang his wife. He must know, because he would know of no cheats, while he knows there were, and he would hang his wife, which didn't occur.
We know, and all the men find out, that in the second morning no women ware hung. This means that there are more than two cheats, by the same logic (if there were only two, the two men who know of only one cheat would hang their wives)
On the third morning we know women were hung. This can only be if there are men who know only about two cheats (and by now know there must be more). The rest didn't hang their wives so they know about more cheats (three cheats, of course). This means X=3, and three women, the three sluts, get their justice. The rest live happily ever after.
