| it could also be an alcoholic drink he wanted to buy that he saw advertised and he was refused it cos he was drunk and he was glad the next day cos he aready had a hangover and would have been worse if he'd bought another drink? just an answer moore related to us now! |

| I knew it had something to do with death, and then the hint about 1912 gave it away |

| These "puzzels" are getting to be trivia questions, and they can't be solved logically |

| That's the thing about the Situation teasers -- not necessarily meant to be solved by the clues alone. A fun bit is to use them in a group of friends, have them try to guess using yes/no questions. |

| Fun teaser but i agree that you need the hints to get the answer otherwise there are too many possible choices. (Hindenburg ticket, buying stock before a market crash, plane ticket out of Logan Airport in Boston to L.A. on the morning of 9-11-01, etc.) Plus many, many other possible reasons not to sell to the man like they were sold out or he was to late to make the flight or whatever. |

| quite interesting, this one. but i didn't know the titanic set sail in 1912. a lot of history is needed. |

| After I read the hint, it was smooth sailing (pun intended). =) I love that movie. |

| Tiggy, I think that Prohibition was still going on then. But I don't know...maybe it was after 1912....but you have to admit, if you were related to someone on the Titanic, you'd probably be visiting speakeasies. |

| How is the answer wrong? Titanic was one of the most saddest times and It still breaks my heart just to see the movie.   |

| "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." |

| I saw 1912 and I thought yellow fever? No, 1792. Then thought of the 1912 overture, then I realized that it was 1812.  I was stumped. Then I realized, TITANIC! This is when I blame my blonde hair. |
