So many layers to the office. You can watch it many times and see something new. That’s what makes it better than office USA

[@JamesChatting]

No, they are both good

[@richarddunne9802]

I agree. I love both of them, but the US one is a very enjoyable American comedy, with a lot of the corners sanded off to make it more palatable, while the original is a true work of art. It reminds me of Withnail and I or Waiting for Godot in that it's quite ridiculous at times, full of bleakness and frustration, and also very minimal. Those lingering shots after awkward moments and the long close-ups of photocopiers really do the trick, and little details like the sound of saliva as Brent opens his mouth to say something that doesn't come out.

[@Beefsneeze9]

Am I going mad or in the show when it was broadcast didn't Gareth make a comment about the farmer like "he shouldn't be allowed near animals then", or something, when Tim suggested he was gay at 1:44? There's a hard cut there after but I don't know whether I'm misremembering it.

I actually think i worked it out: You take the chicken across. So fox and seed, no problem. Then you take the fox across, BUT you also leave the fox there and take the chicken back with you. Now the fox is alone, and you're with the chicken and seed. Then you take the seed across, and finally come back for the chicken

[@knoccie_]

How’s this any different from taking the chicken, then the grain, then the fox. Why take the chicken and then bring it back. It doesn’t make sense it’s the same outcome

[@christophermccutcheon2143]

@@knoccie_ did you listen to the problem in the video? The problem says that you cannot leave the chicken and seed alone(the chicken will eat the seed) or leave the chicken and fox alone (the fox will eat the chicken). You take chicken first, leaving seed and fox alone. You then have a problem. If you take the seed and leave it then the chicken will eat it when you go back. If you take the fox and leave it then it will eat the chicken when you go back. So how do you avoid this? You take one across and then take the chicken back with you. So then you take the seed across, but take the chicken back so the seed is alone. Then you leave the chicken on the wrong side again, and take the fox across. Now you can leave the seed and fox at the other side and come back for the chicken

Everyone must die once. Then they are judged. Hebrews 9:27 ERV But Christ died for us while we were still sinners, and by this God showed how much he loves us. Romans 5:8 ERV Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life. John 3:16 ERV Change your hearts and lives and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ. Then God will forgive your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38 ERV Jesus answered, "Believe me when I say that everyone must be born from water and the Spirit. Anyone who is not born from water and the Spirit cannot enter God's kingdom. John 3:5 ERV The true children of God are those who let God's Spirit lead them. Romans 8:14 ERV Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. But those who do not obey the Son will never have that life. They cannot get away from God's anger. John 3:36 ERV If you think you can fool God, you are only fooling yourselves. You will harvest what you plant. Galatians 6:7 ERV If we decide to continue sinning after we have learned the truth, then there is no other sacrifice that will take away sins. Hebrews 10:26 ERV You can enter true life only through the narrow gate. The gate to hell is very wide, and there is plenty of room on the road that leads there. Many people go that way. But the gate that opens the way to true life is narrow. And the road that leads there is hard to follow. Only a few people find it. Matthew 7:13-14 ERV Great blessings belong to those who are tempted and remain faithful! After they have proved their faith, God will give them the reward of eternal life. God promised this to all people who love him. James 1:12 ERV But the one who remains faithful to the end will be saved. Matthew 10:22 ERV No one has ever seen, no one has ever heard, no one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9 ERV And the Good News I have shared about God's kingdom will be told throughout the world. It will be spread to every nation. Then the end will come. Matthew 24:14 ERV
