Last Valentine's Day
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
Last Valentine's Day, Jimmy and Shelly were looking for just the right card for each other.
Shelly adored the diamonds she got from Jimmy, and it was no surprise when he stole her heart away.
Sadly, their grandmother brought an end to their affair...if only for a moment, for they had the perfect idea to let it go on for as long as they liked.
What were Jimmy and Shelly up to?

Oh, no you don't! You're not getting away with this one, Trillionaire! By definition, an "OLD MAID" is a spinster - unmarried and childless -and couldn't possibly be their grandmother Caught you, didn't I?
I thought of a credit card for a literal diamond. Foolish me.
