I guess, but it's not really a memory it causes, more of a realisation.

-K

Is it because that wasn't "Albatross"?

No, it was albatross.

-K

Was it because he ate so much albatross on the island for so long when he tried it he snapped?

Was there any food to eat on the island? Did they eat any animals?

Eljay

No

RM (isn't it like, 4 AM there? XD)

Depends. Define food.

-K

It's 5:25, I couldn't get to sleep so I'm stalling with my iPod.

More specifically, did they eat albatross on the island? If so, was it their primary food source, or did they eat other things?

Also, did he have that realzation of 'something' before he ate the albatross?

They did not eat albatross on the island.

He had the realisation while he ate the albatross in the restaurant.

-K

Did he order the albatross for a particular reason?

Would he have realized the thing eventually had he not eaten the albatross?

Yes.

Maybe. He'd always have doubts though.

-K

Did he order the albatross in some sort of memory of the island or its inhabitants?

Was the albatross a bird? (I know a riddle where the whole time you think they're human, and it turns out they're fish, so I had to ask)

Like a tribute? No.

The couples are human. The albatrosses are albatrosses. I think I know the riddle you're talking about, with the fish and the cat?

-K

Was the plane named Albatross?

Okay, after reading through all the Q/As, I think I’ve got it:

A month after the crash, Dave was rescued. However, the riddle makes no mention of Bob or Sarah at this point. Thus, I feel it’s safe to presume the latter two as dead. Given that there were wild albatross on the island, events could have played out in one of two ways that would lead to Dave’s eventual suicide.

Scenario #1: On the island, the three survivors go hungry without food. Eventually, Bob and Sarah die of starvation. Dave, however, lives to be rescued. When he eats the albatross at the restaurant after his rescue, he realizes that they could’ve eaten the albatross on the island and then perhaps Bob and Sarah may have lived as well. With misplaced remorse for not realizing this while all three were still alive on the island, Dave commits suicide.

Scenario #2: On the island, the three survivors were left with only a small amount of rations from the plane that had washed ashore with them. As time passed, these rations dwindled down to only enough to feed one person. Maddened with hunger and isolation, the three of them fight to the death for the remaining food and Dave emerges as the winner and lives to be rescued. When he eats the albatross at the restaurant after his rescue, he realizes that they could’ve hunted the albatross on the island to feed themselves. After this realization, Dave, guilt-ridden, commits suicide.

So did I get it?

Adieu,

- MechaFizz

No to both of you.

Hint: ask about the island and what happened there.

-K

Did either Bob or Sarah die on the island?

Yes, I am just trying to perfect MechaFizz's solutions.

Yes, but since that's ambiguous, you're going to have to ask to see if both of them died, or if only one (and which one) died.

-K

Did both die?

No.

-K

Did Bob die?

Did Sarah die?

=P

No, Bob didn't die.

Yes, Sarah died.

-K

Does David realize she died when he eats the Albatross?

Yes.

Wait, is that Velox?

-K

Yeah, that's me. =P

Anyway... now this starts to make sense. I just gotta think of what the connection is between her and the Albatross.

The only difference between your name and Nuju's is the 'w'.
