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
In Seattle, Washington, USA, four people in the same group were waiting near the bus stop. The most popular of the four yelled "Bus Stop!" And they all charged toward it, as if they had seen it many times before. Unfortunately, one person was late for the bus stop, and was withdrawn from the group. Why?
Hint
This was no ordinary bus stop.Answer
They were playing a game of Foursquare. In Foursquare the "King or Queen" (the person standing in the special square) can call bus stop. All four of the players charge toward the center, and the last one there is out.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer
