Two People
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

My last comment on these, I am losing my mind! The answer could have been: He looked up and realized he had just coughed to hard and his lungs flew out his mouth. Whoopsy-daisy, he dies.
People's lungs don't go flying out of their mouths! OK? If you cough to hard blood might come up, but not their lungs. It just doesn't happen!
Too vague... How about this, he sees a bullet coming towards him 1 inch from his forhead... There is no way he will survive after that....
hey i just looked over my shoulder and realized i am going to die it might take years but it will happen
gd one, i was gonna saw he sees that that the other person is a Cannibal
I was thinking along the lines of darkprince, he woke up in the middle of the night and realized the nature of the world...everything dies...I like your answer though.
i thought he woke up and realised he was locked in a room with an axe-weilding maniac.
if one siamese twin does, does that automatically mean the other has to too?
if one siamese twin does, does that automatically mean the other has to too?
I thought the room they were in was an elevator with a window looking outside. The man looked and saw that the elevator was going really fast, realized that the cable had broken, and that he was going to die. But I like your answer a lot better.
Maybe he looked up and saw the other man was a lunatic holding a gun to his head about to pull the trigger!
I'm with dutchymonster! I thought the other person had a gun too!
Clever. (Although, I find the term Siamese twins a little...offensive. Perhaps conjoined would be a better term?)
My bad, thought the other guy was holding a dagger or something...My mistrust in people, perhaps?
If the CONJOINED twins are joined at, say, the shoulder, by a piece of skin, the answer doesn't quite work. But I still like it,
Oh. I thught he was spacing out and then all of the sudden he was all "hey, would you look at that! that dude is holding a knife right in front of my throat!!"
Ridiculous. Situation puzzle means "you have to ask yes or no questions", not "the answer will make unfair or inaccurate generalizations about how the world works, meaning you not only have to think outside the box, you actually have to think outside of anything resembling logic".
Another answer I know: there is a mirror in the room and the man saw his own reflection, but not the other's reflection, and realized he was a vampire!
