How about some MORE lateral thinking puzzles!
Asked Aug 23, 2010, 11:12 PM

213 Answers OK, Adam wants more puzzles.  OK, first one is not really the yes/no question type. It is a lateral thinking puzzle, but more of a riddle and you just need to try to think of the scenario. There may be more than one logical explanation, but you have to guess the right one. A woman has incontrovertible proof in court that her husband was murdered by her sister. The judge declares, "This is the strangest case I've ever seen. Though it's a cut-and-dried case, this woman cannot be punished." |

| I'm racking my brain right now as this reminds me of something I just watched where the person who died held onto something for dear life and you had to wonder why. I'm thinking it was on Criminal Minds. Great - I'll wake up in the middle of the night remembering what it was. | ||||

| Kitkat22 agrees : Darn it ! I was feeling so smart! Egad! Kit - You are smart. Sometimes I just crack up at your responses - they cut to the chase, are witty, and stated so perfectly. Morgaine - I'll try one, but I should probably wait until Tuesday. We are heading to Yosemite for the long weekend, leaving at noon tomorrow. I don't know if it would finish in time. | ||||

| As a note, I've found that most things in these can be taken quite literally. That is, a match is a match. These aren't word play puzzles. But you also can't read things into it that aren't there, so they can be tricky in that way. Most of them also tend to be realistically possible (as in, no magic, etc.), though many are highly improbable and a little ridiculous. | ||||

| How about I do another in the meantime, and you can do one when that is finished. I've got a full seven days in a row off both my jobs (yeah!) so I'm available to keep checking in. I do have some stuff I desperately need to get done while I have time, but it doesn't take me long to jump on and answer a few questions. | ||||

| OK, I admit to some reluctancy on this one because I feel like it's difficult and more pieces to put together. But it is another one of the "classics" so I suppose it wouldn't be if people hated it. So I'll give it a go. A man is returning from Switzerland by train. If he had been in a non-smoking car he would have died. | ||||
