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
My sister, Angelica, had been dating her boyfriend, Eric, for almost a year. He was on a business trip in Florida when she skipped into the room asking to borrow my cell phone to call him. "Yes, just don't kill my battery. I need it later," I instructed, tossing her the phone. She went into the next room and eagerly dialed the number. I popped my headphones back into my ears. After my CD ended, I turned around only to see Angelica crying, "We broke up!" She left the room, and didn't come back for awhile. The next day, I decided to console my sister, and said, "I'm sorry you broke up with Eric." She dawned a confused expression and replied, "Eric and I are getting married! We didn't break up!" What happened?
Answer
The cell phone call was dropped, causing them to "break up." She was upset because he had proposed and she didn't get to answer him, and was afraid he thought she'd hung up. She left the room to find another, more reliable, phone.Hide Answer Show Answer
