    Here is a riddle that has different versions and different names used but I am going to tell it the way I heard it and it goes the same way as far as the yes and no questions.

    Also I told this one before and I am sure I answered it so try not to answer if you have heard it os seen it before. Thank you very much. Here goes:

    You walk into your apartment and find Fred and Wilma dead on your kitchen floor surrounded by water and glass. Barney is asleep on the couch. How did Fred and Wilma die?

    I guess you could say they were, I think I will say yes.

    I will play, although I'm not always terrific at these. Well, really, the albatross one was the first I played and I was LOST. I've done not too badly on some other ones - at least I get how they work.

    (Might be a good idea to start a new thread if these are going to be longish, or maybe that's just my opinion, don't know. I do think it would be good if no other puzzles got in the middle of this to confuse things.)

    Anyway...

    Is Barney a human being?

    Is Barney deaf?

    Do Fred and Wilma live in this apartment too?

    Did I expect Fred and Wilma to be there?

    Is anything else on the kitchen floor?

    Is this broken glass?

    Did I kill them (on purpose or accidentally)?

    OK, I walked into the apartment, which implies I was outside of the apartment. Were Fred and Wilma already dead before I last walked outside the apartment?

    Did the glass play some kind of role in their death?

    Why do these things always seem to involve death? (OK, you don't have to answer that one.)

    Ok, you have definitely heard this one before haven't you Bella? Haha. Nobody ever makes there assumptions right off the bat, but I believe you though because you just put a few clues together and went off some of the other questions other people ask and it makes it a bit easier. Anyway, you are almost there to the big prize Bella.

    Yes, Fred and Wilma are fish.

    No honestly I swear I have never heard this one before. I just guessed. I looked at the other questions. I know how it looks, but honestly, I have never heard this one before.

    So Barney knocked the fish tank over, and killed the fish?

    Is there more to the story?
