Brain Teasers
The Long Line
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

Here are some of the possible answers...
*police closed street because of accident
*fire broke out in club
*DEA drug raid on club
*club being investigated for serving minors
*started pouring rain on those waiting in line
No offense, but I didn't care for this teaser. You gave the impression that the depleting lines took place at the same time each night. There was no indication that this night's line was extremely late (closing time) whereas on "every other night" the line was diminishing during earlier evening hours. Odd.
I like a situation teaser to stump me... you're given a unique, strange situation that you can't think of any possible explanation for. Then you're amazed when you hear the answer. There shouldn't be dozens of possible answers... in my opinion anyway.
Guess I got up on the wrong side of the bed today. Sorry.
I give you an A for effort because at least you've taken the time to post teasers! Thanks.

This one was almost a trick question, rather than logic and yet it was easy to figure out logically. Scallio has shown there were a lot of variables, however, the logical reason, even with the variables was that the door had been shut down. Nice try.
i liked it because it used easy common sense rather than logic. good one!
I was thinking it was raining in the queue
oh but good teaser Bud!
easy... nice anyway
tooooo many possibilities, maybe some 1 person in the line was taking up soo much room, there could have been only 2 people in the line
