Shot Down
Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
A man was flying overhead in a hot air balloon, when suddenly someone from below took a shot, which then went through HIS basket. The man simply smiled, and continued to fly along, without filing any lawsuits or such.
What is the cause of such strange behavior?
Answer
The shooter was playing basketball, and the man in the balloon owned the court they were playing on.

| I thought it was pretty obvious, but the teaser itself was okay so I gave it half a star.   |

| Um....ok. However, what does the man in the hot air balloon owning the basketball court have anything to do with the answer?
The teaser person below the man shot through his own basket. |

| I had the air balloon with a clear bottom (like a glass bottom boat) and the person below shot a picture. I know, too lame! Cute teaser. |

| i thought that the person with that shot, shot it through his own basket. the wording, and the fact that HIS is capitalized through me off |

| Sorry Chief, this onebelongs in the "Situation" category, not the "Trick" category. There is nothing in the story that makes any connection to basketball. 'Tain't fair!  |

| Actually, someone in my own family pulled this on many of our friends, on a particular day. But, this is a totally Awesome teaser to pull on anyone, though. Keep those gears a rolling, the tricks are getting better. |
