Three Left Turns
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.
A man leaves home on foot one evening, makes three left turns and arrives back home to find two masked men waiting there. Who are they?
HintThe turns must be left, otherwise the situation would not work. "Who" refers to the names of the positions of the masked men, not their personal names.
