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.

Does it have to do with music?
The recording of an album?

No, there will be no school until the exams. So, I'm home for this week and the next.

Does the work of the 'workers' has to do with sound?
Sight?
Smell?
Taste?

I'm a little out of questions too.

I keep looking at this money vs item thing at the very top and wondering if there's something I can ask about that, but don't know what. Something gets "ruined" but not "damaged."

We need to establish what these people do, and how the boss is involved, probably in that order.

Twice when "seeing" something was brought up, the answer has been "not quite right." (It needs tweaked.)

I think there's where we need to concentrate. Although I'm not sure what the clue is supposed to be that's in that list. I might be dismissing something important.

I'm just tired and can't really think about it anymore. So I'm going to get my contacts out, feed cats, etc., think while I'm doing it, and maybe check back in one more time before climbing in bed.

Just in time for her to take off on a honeymoon? Well, then I guess me and you will be doing one. Oh, wait, you said you had to study - maybe this can be for breaks.

The music idea was interesting.

I probably need to go to bed. I've been working while we are playing, but I still have work to finish tomorrow.

Unky - No to all of your questions.

I feel like this has gotten more complicated than it really is. The money thing - we know it involves a loss of money, but it wasn't cash thrown away, stolen, etc. "It cost a man thousands"

The clue is early on in the game.

So... Gordon entered a room where the man and the workers were in a play/scene. As Gordon opened the door, he was immediately in the film and ruined it. Hence, the film was to be redone and the man has lost millions of dollars.

Is that... It?
