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

I was thinking a soldier in the first world war going over the trenches.
This is my first teaser so I hope you all like it!
Yeah, I thought it was a soldier too.
Whattt a "situation" but I finally figured it out (my answer was one of two or three possibilities). Rated it tops for FUN!
Thanks for posting and thanks for visiting my teasers.

I never even got close to guessing that, but it was so obvious when I saw the answer!
Awsomeness. Couldn't have guessed.

Clever! I loved it!
I didn't get it, but good teaser!
I thought it was a soldier. XD But then I guess it wouldn't be empty, and he wouldn't *know* he would die...
Nicely done; I could't think of any other plausible answer.
This was terrific for a first teaser! I got this one almost right away. Maybe I'm just morbid, or maybe I know better than to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Very nice situation puzzle. Thanks Marple.
Thanks Snowdog - much appreciated.
