Choose Your Disaster
Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
A group of four prisoners were held captive by the enemy and each prisoner was to be shot each day through the week. As natural disasters were common in this specific part of the world, the group of prisoners decided to make up a plan of distracting the guards. Before each prisoner would be shot, they would shout out a natural disaster, which would cause chaos and distract everyone to give enough time for each prisoner to escape. As three days passed the first three prisoners escaped by shouting out their chosen natural disasters and running away, however the final prisoner shouted out a disaster and was shot dead on the spot.
What was the natural disaster he shouted?

| This is totally ripped off a blonde joke! Anyone who hasn't heard the joke will like it, and it was very well written, but the blonde joke is definitely funnier!  |

| For those who don't get it:
First prisoner facing a firing squad yells, "Tornado!" Everyone scatters and he gets away.
Second one yells, "Earthquake!" Everyone scatters and he gets away.
Third one yells, "Avalanche!" Everyone scatters and he gets away.
The fourth one yells, "Fire!" and the firing squad shoots him.

| I've heard this one as a skit long before I saw it here!
Plus the answer isn't clear and "fire" isn't really a natural disaster.
I get it though! |

| coinjar, in hot countries, fire most certainly is a natural disaster. Very common during the summer here in Australia. |
