Brain Teasers
It's a Party!
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
There are hundreds of people invited to the party of the year! The guest list consists of the wealthy and celebrities. The party started without a hitch. People were mingling, laughing, and having an overall good time. Out of nowhere, 10 masked men and women showed themselves. The robbers carried guns and bags. They instructed the guests to place their jewelry and money into the bags. The robbers got away and were never caught because no one called the police. Why?
Answer
The 'robbery' was part of the party. It was a fund-raising party, and instead of simply giving the money in the traditional sense, the guests were 'robbed'. The guests were willing participants and only put what they wanted into the bags.Hide Answer Show Answer

Well...I won't be quite as harsh, but the puzzle was pretty poorly done if we were supposed to come to that answer. There really isn't any information to deduce that the robbers were a part of a fundraiser, unless someone else had a similar, but very rare experience or observation. It was interesting to me up until the answer though, I'll give you that
i thought it was pretty good. stating that the guests were wealthy and celebrities i easily assumed that either the host is a snob or they didn't call the cops because they didn't mind losing the money. i didn't get the answer exactly but this riddle is better than some i've seen on here.
Is this based upon an episode of "Angel"?
If you didn't like it, okay. It's just a teaser, calm down.
Actually, it is based off one of the few episodes of "Angel" that I've seen.
Thanks for any feedback, good or bad.

I am sorry Jack was so harsh- I really enjoyed your teaser, and came up with a close answer (masquarade party) so keep up the good work and don't let someone so unhappy with live spoil it!
I thought this puzzle was very fun. I figured it out right away so I think it made sense!
i thought the teaser was cute! i didnt get it but i still thought that the teaser was creative. and i am sorry that jack was so cruel.
i agree with kaylees, just calm down. overall, good job!

I didn't much care for it either, but I won't be quite so horrible about it. Part of the problem with these teasers is that we don't have the opportunity to ask a few yes or no questions as is intended. This teaser would be fine in a personal situation when there's an opportunity for some questions.
I liked your teaser..
This was delightful and fun!
Long before 'Angel' there was 'Sam Spade' a radio detective and this was the plot, but it turned South with real crooks. Good teaser.

i didnt know this one!
...or maybe it was a movie premier(celebrities would be there), and the masked men were on the screne. guests didn't call the police, becouse it was a movie.
I thought it was the policeman's ball.
cool
The function was the annual police ball. There was no need to call the police because they were already there.
I thouhgt it was a fancy dress and people dressed as robbers
but good anyway 8.10

Why did they have guns... isn't that a little dangerous?
I should go to one of those one time.
