How Did They Know?
Situation
Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.Situation
One cold winter's night, a man calls the police to report a murder. The police came and, seeing that there are only two people in the building, immediately arrested the caller. Why?
Answer
The man reported that there was a murder. The building he was in had only two people in it and there were no tracks outside in the snow, so the police knew the murderer had not run away and that the caller had to have killed the man.Hide Answer Show Answer
