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
Sam, a journalist, had a deadline coming up for his news report, but he was too lazy to write a real one, so he made it up. He wrote that scientists discovered that, a long time ago, practically invisible space aliens landed on earth and now are killing humans! The next day Sam was, in fact, not fired! Why wasn't Sam fired?
