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 :)

Mythbusters!

Was the man killed?

Were the facemask and snorkel still on his face?

Was his swimsuit cut at any place?

Did the man have any weapon with him like a knife?

I find myself second guessing how to answer some questions. Bear with me. :)

I am just marking my place here, but I will not answer this one because I know the answer.

Darn. I was looking forward to you playing. :(

Hm...

Did the man fell from the sky?

Was there anything else with him like for example a parachute bag?

You might solve this before Morgaine gets a chance to play. Maybe Adam will have to look for a puzzle for her.

Ok, possible scenario.

The man went at night to do some diving we don't want to know why. He flew over in a plane/helicopter/etc and jumped, thinking he was going to 'land' in the water, but instead, fell in the forest.

Is that it? :)

No. I think you'll need more questions.

Was the man's suit wet?

Is it relevant that there is a lake 8 miles away?

Is there any cliff nearby?

Is there any mountain nearby?

Was the man's suit wet? Yes, it was at one time. May have dried out by the time he was found.

Is it relevant that there is a lake 8 miles away? Yes

Is there any cliff nearby? Irrelevant. (haha, I feel rude saying that)


Is there any mountain nearby? Irrelevant.

Lol, it's good to know that something's irrelvant :)

Ok, so, did the man get on a plane?

Or a helicopter?

Did he slip because of his wet feet and fell down down down in the forest?

Ok, so, did the man get on a plane? Technically no, he did not get on a plane. I'm trying not to mislead you here. :o

Or a helicopter? No.

Did he slip because of his wet feet and fell down down down in the forest? No.

Hm...

Is it relevant how he got up in the sky?

Yes.

He climbed on a ladder attached to a flying vehicle?

Did he get on the vehicle?

Is the vehicle relevant?

Did the vehicle fly high enough to avoid the trees?

He climbed on a ladder attached to a flying vehicle? No

Did he get on the vehicle? I think I did mislead you. He somehow got on the vehicle. Try to figure out how.

Is the vehicle relevant? Yes

Did the vehicle fly high enough to avoid the trees? Yes.



I need to get some work done but I'll check back in a while.

Does the vehicle has wings?

Is the vehicle a seaplane?

Is the man a secret agent? (:p)

Oh I thought it was a helicopter. Maybe I am wrong on this one. Or maybe different versions. I will pm you J-Lo.
