Yup. Well, any type of shot at the doctor's. Another version is getting their photo "shot" with Santa.

Nope.

No unusual cultures going on here.

4. " who had blown his brains out" that I do not understand the slang in here :(

i.e. with a gun - suicide

5. The man got tired, fell down and froze to death?
6. The train is full... or the train has a notice saying it's under repair...

Nope.

7. An extremist who hates men?

I realized after I posted it that this one might be hard, and one of the ones I didn't get. If no one gets this, it might require questions. We'll see.

Actually, all of these are like trick questions. They're all very logical but sound funny. Think like how the first one is.

8. The man is being executed (guillotine)?

---

Is this supposed to be the one in the separate thread? That's one you'll have to do questions on - I wasn't sure how fast the first set would get solved, so I threw that in. I can't be back (probably) for a good 13-14 hours from now (unless I get an unexpected break), so you can take off on any of these you want.

The cabin was taken by an avalanche and they froze to death?

The man has been divorcing between each marriage?

A woman came home with a bag of groceries, got the mail, and walked into the house. On the way to the kitchen, she went through the living room and looked at her husband, who had blown his brains out. She continued to the kitchen, put away the groceries, and made dinner

She already knew her husband was dead?

A man is found dead in the arctic with a pack on his back.

This man was parachuting when a strong wind blew him in the middle of the Arctic. The old winds being too heavy, he started falling down and died on impact.

A train pulls into a station, but none of the waiting passengers move.

The train doesn't have passenger compartments?

And lastly:
A young woman is whisked away to a far off land, where she kills the first person she meets. Then she teams up with three others to kill again.

It's a movie :p

Quote:

A rope breaks. A bell rings. A man dies.

---

Did those happen in the order you gave them?
Is the bell attached to the man?
Is the man attached to the rope?
Are there relevant people involved?

1. Vaccinations
2. Plane crash
3. The man is a priest/reverend
4. She looks at a photograph
5. Parachute didn't open
6. Model train?
7. The Wizard of Oz
8. The man is climbing Mt Everest, and his supporting rope breaks. A bell was tied to his pack and it rang as he fell. Hitting the ground far below, he dies.

All correct.

4. She looks at a photograph

---

No but along the right lines.

Quote:

5. Parachute didn't open

---

That was a different puzzle. ;)

Quote:

---

6. Model train?
7. The Wizard of Oz

---

Yup. I didn't get that last thing at all. This came out of a set that can have "unrealistic" answers, but I wasn't thinking about that.

So 4 is close. 5 - parachute too obvious.

No. But I'll get to your set of questions in a minute.

Oh, I'm confused. I don't know why I thought Unky's last post was Synnen. When I saw the second post, I thought she changed her guesses.

Tired. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it.

(Unky's post)
As to dead hubby, yeah she already knew he was dead but...

Did you know which movie? (Am I the only one who didn't get that one?)

Bell:
Did those happen in the order you gave them? Yes.

Is the bell attached to the man? No.

Is the man attached to the rope? No.

Are there relevant people involved? Only the man.

Arctic - he's a cave man and was caught in a glacier?

Shopping woman - She had him stuffed and put in his favorite chair?

Rope/bell/dead - He's leaning against a cordon keeping back the crowd, the rope of the cordon breaks, he falls forward just as the bell to start a horserace rings and is trampled to death by the horses.

No to all, although the shopping woman is still along the right lines.

The woman's husband didn't die... but is now a vegetable?

Arctic--is the pack his? Does it contain survival gear?

Getting colder again. He's dead.

Quote:

---

Arctic--is the pack his? Does it contain survival gear?

---

No and no.

Is it a sculpture?

Is the pack a play on words? As in, it's not a backpack, but a pack of dogs or wolves or bears?

Quote:

---

Is it a sculpture?

---

No, but getting warmer again. You've had the right idea about 3 times and just aren't hitting on it.

You got it. Wolves to be exact.

His ashes?

Oh, I see I find it "helpful" now instead of agreeing. How nice.

Anyway... I thought of that immediately, but maybe cause I have a cat in an urn on my mantle.

Okay, do we have an answer for the rope/bell/dead yet?

It seems not...

Did the die as he fell down?
Did he die at ground level? Above ground level?
Was he on an elevated place before dying?
Is the bell an electric bell?
Is the bell anywhere within 1 m from the man?

No, we haven't solve it yet. We have thus far:

A rope breaks. A bell rings. A man dies.


Did those happen in the order you gave them? Yes.

Is the bell attached to the man? No.

Is the man attached to the rope? No.

Are there relevant people involved? Only the man.

Did the die as he fell down? Yes.

Did he die at ground level? Above ground level? Um... I guess I'll have to call it ground level.

Was he on an elevated place before dying? Yes.

Is the bell an electric bell? No.

Is the bell anywhere within 1 m from the man? Yes.

Did he die in a city?
- In a remote area otherwise?

Was the breaking of the rope the cause of his fall?

Was the rope attached to the bell?

Did he die in a city? No.
- In a remote area otherwise? Oh, highly possible.

Was the breaking of the rope the cause of his fall? No.

Was the rope attached to the bell? Not directly.

Is the man a mountain climber?
Was the man flying before falling down?
Was he running at any point before falling down?
