Brain Teasers
Shopping Anyone?
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
Joe was an avid surfer. One day he walked past a shop to see a sign in the window that said "WET SUITS HALF PRICE - NOTHING ABOVE $20". Now Joe couldn't resist this kind of a bargain, so he went in and asked the shop assistant about the sign. The assistant pointed him towards a corner of the shop where all the sale items were located. When Joe got there he smiled, shook his head and walked out. Why?
Hint
The problem wasn't in the sizing of the items, nor was it to do with the colour. If Joe had wanted to, he could have worn one of the wet suits, no problem.Answer
The shop was actually having a sale on a bunch of suits which were wet (rather than wetsuits). Joe walked in, saw that the suits were dripping wet and realised his mistake.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer

Truth in advertising huh? I actually thought it was going to be the wet suit bottoms only (i.e. nothing above ) so they were half suits for half price .. not much of a bargain.. guess I overthunk it ..thanks for sharing the situation!

ha ha! that's really clever! good job!
I think it was sort of obvious, no offense.
But why would ne1 sell wet suits? Couldn't they just dry them? I think it's sort of dumb.

I got it, but I'm with the above comments. Why would anyone wanna sell wet suits. I guess it was a gimic to get people in the store. But you could just dry them, but then again, he didn't want a suit, he wanted a wetsuit.
that was easy!!! way 2 ez
Why would a store stock wet suits? That's kinda..Odd..
That was a little too easy!
