What will now happen to the astrologer? Do you think the prophecy was indisputably disproved?
If the king could kill the 100th tiger then the astrologer would have to cut his tuff and have to be bald. But unfortunately astrologer died before he could kill the 100th tiger. And the prophecy cannot be indisputably disproved because neither he killed the 100th tiger nor he was killed by a real tiger as when he shot tiger the bullet got missed and the tiger died due to the sound of the gun shot and also due to wooden toy tiger he died when a small sliver of wooden tiger pricked in his hand.
