Is that something cat owners would understand? Because I don't get it.

NOTE: It depends on the cat. Cats who enjoy or at least allow belly rubs are a rare occurence. I have one that loves it, one that tolerates it (we trained her), and one that will rip your face off.

That's not always the case though. Some really hate it, some love having their bellies rubbed/scratched and won't attack you for it, and some see it as a game ("hey, try and touch me without getting cut, it will be fun!").

Xith

I'm gonna go with A.
Too lazy to calculate whether that opening will miss D's head but I'm assuming it will. The lever will probably get pushed down a little from the momentum but not enough to squish C, and when it drops back down it looks like it'll catapult it at him.

Iocun

E dies, because A, B, C, and D will beat him up for trying to use them as guinea pigs for his macabre experiments.

Achimrst

I'm kind of leaning toward C
GIVE US AN ANSWER DAMN IT!

Iocun

If we assume some air resistance, my actual guess would be that nobody dies at all. The rolling stone won't really have any downward momentum, since it rolls horizontally onto the lever, so it will keep rolling down the lever, make a slight hop on the lever's little ridge, but be sufficiently slowed by air resistance not to jump very much and end up bouncing into the other stone and come to a standstill.

With less air resistance, it might jump high enough to roll over the lower rock and fall on B.

Jacen

I'd assume no one dies. The fully spherical (cylindrical?) mass isn't at equilibrium in this snapshot. Its going to roll a little downhill and rest against that wall, which is going to provide additional friction against the balance beam lifting on that side. Given that damping force, and (as @Iocun said) the other mass's momentum will be horizontal, either of two results will happen: The mass's momentum will be enough to carry it over the bumper on the ramp, in which case the balance will be tilted fully left, or it won't, in which case the balance might lift a small amount, but certainly not enough to get the circular mass over the edge due to friction. 

Final answer? D and C die of starvation.

Eld

Doesn't matter whether the rock misses D's head - he only dies if he's too stupid to just duck before it gets there. The rock with the hole will most likely just keep rolling on down the ramp butt up against the other one, but even if it did somehow come to rest on the other side of the lever, it wouldn't tip the balance enough to kill C, let alone to do any catapulting or anything like that (assuming the rocks are the same density and thickness - if one's way bigger than the other in the third dimension, you can't really conclude much). So A, B, C, and D are all safe, and @Iocun's right.

ETA: if you assume that D is somehow being prevented from ducking, he's pretty screwed, unless my quick and dirty calculation is way off.

And since I was ninja'd by both Iocun and Jacen, I meant that Iocun's right that E dies.
