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
Tom saw a sparrow on a tree. He quietly climbed up the tree and grabbed the bird. He then put it in a cage. Tom's father saw what he had done and asked him to release the sparrow. Tom always listens to his father so he opened the cage door to let the sparrow out. But something strange happened. The sparrow didn't fly, yet it chirped in the cage. (The sparrow was totally healthy and didn't get hurt in any part of its body.)
