DID CINDERELLA HAVE DEFORMED FEET?

Well, the title of the post is self-explanatory. Take a medium-sized town. Considering the law of probability and plain common sense, there are bound to be at least a couple of hundred women with the same shoe size; stands to logic, doesn’t it?

However, the story goes something like this- after Cinderella runs off at midnight, she leaves behind her glass slipper. The prince and his guards after searching for a long time, finally find Cinderella on basis of shoe-size. The explanation can be given by one of the foll.

Scenario 1
The guards already knew where to go. They just roamed here and there to get the extra pay for over time. Who would pay them if the very first house they visited was Cinderella’s? The harder the job, better the pay!
However, this scenario is unlikely as it assumes the guards are capable of coherent thought.

Scenario 2
The prince was a stalker. He knew all the details about the girls he liked. Hence he knew who had that particular shoe size. He asked the guards to roam around aimlessly so that no one would get suspicious. Who would like a future king to be a stalker?
Unlikely--> with a name like Prince Charming, I highly doubt he would be stalking LADIES, if you get what I mean....

Scenario 3
The guards, not the brightest of the lot, tried jamming the slipper on the wrong foot. Obviously the slipper wouldn’t  feet fit anyone! After doing this job for a long time, the guards were tired and let Cinderella try on the slipper herself. Voila! A perfect fit!

Scenario 4
Magical slippers. Need I say more?

All the above cases were a matter of chance or else the information was known before hand. The result could very well have been different. However, the following case leaves nothing to chance or magic. Also the answer need not be known previously.

Scenario 5
Cinderella had deformed feet.

Since the chances that anyone else in that town had the exact same deformity is extremely slim, it was only a matter of time before Cinderella was found. Hence proved!

Astounding logic, isn’t it? Sometime I dazzle myself by my sheer brilliance!
