The Murder in the Sauna
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
Five men entered a sauna. Because it was a steam sauna, no one could see each other. Suddenly a scream was heard and the manager came running. After the steam was switched off, they found one of the men dead with a puddle of water beside him. The police were called and they had three suspects. The first suspect had a thermos, the second a magazine and the third a CD Walkman. The lead detective thought for a while and he caught the criminal. Who was it and how did he do it?
Hint
1. Don't think about who did it. Think about the items.2. Don't think of how the item can be used to kill.
Answer
It is the guy that had the thermos. He put a dagger made of ice in the thermos so it wouldn't melt. Then he killed the victim.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer
