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
Fred and his son Hakim were getting ready for dinner. Fred was making his famous "Pasta Surprise". The surprise is that he just mixes together whatever is left in the fridge and cooks it.
Fred asked Hakim to search the fridge for some cheese. After a few minutes of searching, all Hakim could find was old cheese with moldy spots in it. He asked his dad if the cheese was alright, but Fred knew for a fact that the cheese was perfectly fine.
What made this moldy-cheese perfectly fine to eat?

Answer
The moldy-cheese was actually blue cheese. Blue cheese is a type of cheese in which mold is either injected into it, or mixed in with the curds. This type of mold is harmless to eat, unlike the typical mold you find on other cheeses when they've been improperly sealed for a long period of time.Hide Answer Show Answer

I had been taught that any moldy cheese is fine if you just cut off the moldy outside. In that case any cheese found in the fridge with mold on it would have been fine.
I LOVE bleu cheese! Mmmmm...

How is this a Situation puzzle? The answer is obvious to anyone who knows Blue, Rocquefort, Stilton, Gorgonzola, or Camembert cheese, to mention a few. How many "yes or no questions" doesit take to figure this out?

Well unklemyke, since you seem to be the Teaser Expert around here, why haven't we seen any teasers in your name?
bigSWAFF, don't be rude, maybe unklemyke doesn't have any ideas. Don't be harsh, just because he pointed out his opinion.
"The answer is obvious to anyone who knows Blue, Rocquefort, Stilton, Gorgonzola, or Camembert cheese."
Well then to those who haven't heard of those, then the answer is, in fact, not obvious, and they may be inclined to ask a few questions.

I liked the teaser. Truth is that either you knew it or you didn't though.
Unraveled, it was unklemyke who was rude.
I'd never eat anything with mold on it (Yes, I'm that finicky). So bleu cheese is off my menu. Nice teaser.

gggg i agree w/ you on never eating anything with mold on it, but I don't think anyone's rude. Any person is titled to his or her own decision. Still mold is gross...
Pretty easy. Thanks
I knew that.
that was easy I liked it
You've never heard of blue cheese? You've never tasted blue cheese? I feel sorry for you.
my brother likes blue cheese, same with my dad, so i got it, but i hate that cheese
Hardly a situation teaser - trivia at best.
I love cheese.... But it was a little too easy.
Too hard and it SHOULD be trivia but overall 6 and a half out of 10
I figured it was normal cheese because cheese is basically mold...
by the way, hakim(ha-keem) is a muslim name, while fred is a christian
