The Beggar
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
There once was a beggar who sat on the streets begging everyday. One day the beggar wasn't there. The beggar now had many riches but this happened the same day of a bank robbery. The beggar was questioned but replied, "My brother gave it to me." The authorities then asked the person, who was claimed to be the brother, if he gave the beggar money. He replied, "I do not have a brother." How could this be true?

The beggar is a girl. She would be his sister, not his brother.Hide Answer Show Answer
