Lateral Thinking Puzzle

Asked Sep 10, 2010, 06:01 AM — 850 Answers
Ok, here is another one and I am not sure if I like this one and it may be to easy to figure out but I will start with this one and go from there.

In the middle of the ocean is a yacht. Several corpses are floating in the water nearby.

He's going to take the car to the house. And he's going to try to make hubby die so he can get the money. But he's not going to blow him up nor smack into him.

Hmm.

I can't say I'm well versed in the ways of killing people.

Is he going to get hubby inside the car somehow?

And what you you doing up, young lady? You had the flu and you're supposed to be resting. And it's too early for your 'waking up later' thing.

I can't say I'm well versed in the ways of killing people. You don't need to know the ways of killing people to solve the puzzle. Look at the question again.

Is he going to get hubby inside the car somehow? No

It's only 9:30 here. Plus, I know you are getting really close to solving this.

Hmm... I always thought you disappeared before this and then came back in what would be about a half hour or so from now. I guess I'm crazy.

EDIT: Er, I meant "before the time of my last post," cause it's like 2 hours later now.

If you say so. Sure, I've got the gist, but not getting that detail. Maybe Unky'll be along too. Maybe just the right question from him....


Is he going to try to kill hubby while he (Ned) is in the car?
Is he going to leave the car at the house?

Does Ned want hubby to be in a used car that he previously manipulated to that it occurs as an accident?

Does Ned expect to convince hubby to try a car?
Then try to kill him?
While still making it seem like an accident?

I'm thinking he can't risk killing hubby carelessly, or he'll be in jail and some other person will get the heritage...

Yea!, Unky's here. Cause I'm running out of steam on questions. Got the main gist, but there's that nagging little detail about how the "kill" is going to happen. (By the way, I doubt it'll hurt for you to read the spoilers of my incorrect answer, since nearly everything of it has been solved anyway.)

Since J-Lo is perhaps sleeping better tonight, I will point out that he's not trying to get hubby to try the car - already asked. I also suspect that how easily he might get caught might not be relevant. When did the people in these scenarios make any sense anyway.

(I might check in one more time, but I'm making an attempt to hit the sack a bit earlier. I've already got it solved except for this detail. So we'll see what happens by time I get back up.)

I DO expect credit for solving the rest though.

Ned wants someone irrelevant to drive the car with him. He then will manage to run hubby over with the buyer (who's driving). He has tweaked the car before, so this will appear as an accident.

I keep thinking that he will try to stay out of suspicion...

I only read the one JLo said afterwards and I have some idea of what you said. Anyway, okay, I'll read back.

Not bad. Except it doesn't explain taking the car to the house.

I kept thinking he was going to cut a brake line or something of the sort, but still doesn't explain him taking it to the house. That's stumping me.

4 pages of 20 posts for me, that makes like the same as theirs and if we don't find it quick

Ok, I keep missing some details...

Something riduculous, but who knows...

He plans to take the car to their house. At night, Ned would switch on the engine and let carbon monoxide fill the house so that hubby will die. I'm assuming though that sis is at the hospital... Or that Ned is killing his sis too... One rock, two hits.

LOL. I'm all for it.

But I'm done for the night and need to be in bed. Guess I'll see later how it all faired out.

And yet another lateral thinking puzzle [ 72 Answers ]

Deep in the forest was found the body of a man who was wearing only swimming trunks, snorkel and facemask. The nearest lake was 8 miles away and the sea was 100 miles away. How had he died? I'm new at this, so we'll see how it goes. I think it is a lot easier than Morgaine's train puzzle :)
