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

Answer

Ahhh. Yeah. It pays to pay attention in History. I thought there was a trick to it. I sat thinking of what else "cry" could mean.
I found this extremely easy, even though that's most likely because I study Egypt in my spare time.
Should this be in trivia?
THE CAT SHOULD BE MUMMIFIED!!!!!!!!
i didn't know that, nice
I got this one. It had to be a death, but not of a human. Who else but the cat, for the Egyptians?
But I still think this is "trivia" and not "Situation."
