The Coffee Mystery
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.
It was a dark and gloomy morning when Anna woke up. "I am glad I don't have to go to work today," Anna thought, as she made her morning coffee. As Anna put sugar into her coffee mug, she noticed something was wrong. The sugar did not dissolve! Why?

Posted by mj1321 on Jul 11, 2011 @braingle100: You thought Anna's thoughts were misleading? Gosh, I just put it in there to make my teaser sound better, not to make it misleading or anything, but thanks!  |

Posted by Thekid4 on Jul 12, 2011 I thought it was that it said in the coffee MUG, not the coffee |

Posted by mj1321 on Jul 12, 2011 Don't people put their coffee in their mug then they put in the sugar? |

Posted by talanpoe on Jul 13, 2011 I have to admit that if I had forgotten to add water to my coffee mug, I don't think "How odd; the sugar isn't dissolving" would be my first reaction. Fun teaser though; nice job! |

Posted by xxsoftballxx13x on Jul 14, 2011 I have the same thoughts as talan, though I don't drink coffee. For your first teaser, though, it was fun. |

Posted by bigbanggoo on Jul 15, 2011 It doesn't have to be boiling water, just water is enough to dissolve sugar. And who be stupid enough to be confused of his sugar not dissolving when he sees he didn't put water in. |

Posted by mj1321 on Jul 15, 2011 You ruined my good mood...  |

Posted by Mad-Ade on Jul 20, 2011 to bigbanggoo. The teaser never states she added water of any sort, or that she was surprised that her sugar had not dissolved, only that she noticed something wrong, the question was why did the sugar not dissolve. The question and answer are sound. Good work mj1321 |
