Title: Friday Riddle
Post by: JasonH on September 08, 2006, 04:30:55 AM
A man is making his way to the centre of a field. The field is empty. He is in perfect health. No-one wants to kill him, and he doesn't want to kill himself but he knows as soon as he gets to the middle of this field he is going to die instantly.

Why?

Here's a funny one:


The Man in the Elevator
A man lives on the tenth floor of a building. Every morning he takes the elevator down to the lobby and leaves the building. In the evening, he gets into the elevator, and, if there is someone else in the elevator - or if it was raining that day - he goes back to his floor directly. Otherwise, he goes to the seventh floor and walks up three flights of stairs to his apartment. Can you explain why?
(This is probably the best known and most celebrated of all lateral thinking logic puzzles. It is a true classic. Although there are many possible solutions which fit the initial conditions, only the canonical answer is truly satisfying.)

He's Lee Preist.

He uses his umbrella on rainy days when there is not another person in the elevator.

could be that he's short and can't reach the 10th floor elevator button, unless someone is in the elevator and can push it for him, or the elevator only goes to the 7th floor.

An anthropoligist stumbles upon a cave.. Inside he finds hyroglyphics on the wall, ancient tools, a fire pit, and some other things of value.. in the corner on a fur rug are 2 people. A man and a woman, both perfectly preserved.. Instantly the man knows the 2 bodies are that of Adam and Eve how does the man know this?????????????


I believe this one to be a good one.....

Post by: Oldschool Flip on September 08, 2006, 11:23:59 AM
Okay try this:

Wilma and Fred are dead. Around them are:

1. A table with a leg broken off
2. Water all over and around the table
3. Broken glass
 
Deduce what happened. You may ask questions where I can only answer "yes" or "no".
Good luck.

BTW OzmO is not allowed to answer (since he came up with it years ago)
