Brain Teasers
Puddles and Ashes
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
Frank Furter lives on the side of a busy highway, with large fields around his log cabin. But when the two trucks passed, the house was in puddles and ashes and Frank was dead. What happened?
Answer
#1. The first truck was one of those huge trucks that deliver things. (Or any other truck that's huge and on the road today) THIS IS THE FIRST TRUCK! A spark flew and landed in the field next to Frank Furter's house. The truck passed. The field was aflame and Frank couldn't get out. The second truck was a fire truck. It came and put out the raging fire, only to find the man dead. The truck passed and the house was a mess of puddles and ashes and Frank was dead.#2. Mostly the same as number one, it's just that the driver could've thrown his cigarette out the window, instead of a spark.

"Frank couldn't get out"......why not?
maybe he was asleep and didn't wake up until it was too late and he was surrounded in flames. or maybe someone robbed him, tied him up, and burned down the house to destroy any evidence.
Hey bluetwo, u should b-come a script-writer. But may-b he waz just on da verge of commiting suicide anywaz?
thanks shop-a-holic... I think it comes from watching too much TV anyways! =)
who would ever think of that??
As a driver of one of those "huge trucks on the roads today" I've never heard of them giving off sparks - least of all enough to burn a house down!!
no offense but that was horrible. I seriously don't mean to be rude but the answer given was stupid. Sorry I'm sure you'll do better next time.
