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
It was a grey miserable evening. A truck driver had his truck loaded with dry sand, ready for his first delivery in the morning. He filled his tank with diesel and checked his oil and water. He went to the weighbridge and checked its weight. It weighed in at 44 tonnes, the maximum weight he was allowed to carry.
Imagine his surprise when he was pulled over the next day by the police and given a fine for being overweight.
Nobody added anything to his truck as it was locked away in a secure compound.
How was his truck overweight, despite being OK the night before?
