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
A dog dug up something that was not on his property. Some people found out and told the dog's owner. They said to the owner, "Your dog has dug in a place that he is not allowed in, but he has inspired us to check that area again. So you will only be fined $95. Thank you." Later the people found out what else the dog did and got mad at the owner. What happened?
Hint
Why would someone search an area, and why would they be mad after that?Answer
The land was a Native American preserve. The dog dug up an artifact. The people were the owners of the preserve. Later, they searched the area where the dog found the artifact, but they only found that the dog used the ground as a bathroom.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer

2 ez. When you hear dog and mad you immediately think he pee'ed somewhere he shouldnt have.
Drunky, that is one funny comment!
It's very confusing, because when I heard owner I immediatly thought that it was the owner of the dog.
Oh, nevermind, it's early, and I'm going back to bed.
the person was the owner of the dog, and the people were the owners of the preserve. It was pretty obscure. I though that he had dug up a bone, and they checked and found out that it was a dinosaur bone, because they were archaeologists. its pretty similar, but i still can't say i got it.
I was thinking along the lines of speedyg, and that they realized it wasn't really a fossil but just something the dog buried.
Nice. Keep on going.
