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
A family of four enjoyed a fantastic dinner at one of the country's premier dining spots. The bill total was just over $200. However, the family left the fine eating establishment without paying at all, completely legally. How did they manage to "dine and dash"?
Answer
The family won a free meal at the restaurant. They got to fill their stomachs without having to empty their wallets.Hide Answer Show Answer

They got a gift card from the husband's employer.
Grandma gave pre-paid the tab as a gift.
There are too many possible answers. I don't particularly care for this teaser. Sorry.

I said they paid the bill and didn't use a dime in the progress.
This is one of those teasers where at the end you're just like, "Who really cares?"
Ya know?
But yeah, I think the person above me had a better answer.

dine and DASH, i think the term is.
If it was a free meal why was there a bill?
I've worked it out... The family were like the couple in Pulp fiction, and at the end of the meal they jumped onto the table and waved weapons around and demanded everyone empty their wallets. Unfortunately the manager had a shotgun under the bar, and a bloodbath ensued, in which none of the family survived. Their lifeless corpses were dragged out of the restaurant, while the assistant manager, wearing a badge syaing "My name is Elaine. Have a nice day" splattered in blood was weeping in the corner assisted by paramedics saying "They didn't even pay the bill. Not even a dime."
how about they own the diner ?
Actually,I didn't submit the above comment,my mother did.
didnt think of that one, i thaught of a gift card!
Feh!! Instead of paying, they wrote a check. (Which is technically a promise that your bank will pay the bill.) Credit card use involves a slightly different delay in paying.
First I thought it was another one's bill. If you didn't say "the bill" ... oh, I don't know
I agree that the riddle would have had some entertainment value if the answer was: They paid with $100 bills, like the member above said, paying without using a "dime" in the process. As is it just doesn't do anything for me. Sorry.
i think this was a bit to easy keep trying sorry, but there were a lot of possible answers.
i thought they were in a hotel because you dont have to pay when your eating there you only pay at the end for the whole thing
I said gift card or credit card...
after reading all the comments, i was thinking what if the family chose not to spend the money but to wash the dishes instead, just like what happened to some movies.. lol
