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
Some very basic information is that when on planet earth, at any given spot you can only see half of the visible stars that shine on earth. It is impossible for someone on the northern half to see the southern stars, and vice versa. Of course there are stars in the middle that are visible to everyone.
Joe Bob was really interested in stars. He often sat outside at night and tried to pick out different constellations (he never has any success, though). Suddenly, he started waking up every day and saw all of the stars from both the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere! Even though this astronomical event was happening, he knew exactly why. How is this happening?
