The Dog
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
Ron's dog dug in his back yard one day after supper. When Ron found out about it, he was mad, but since he was curious he dug in the same spot the dog dug in(!). He found something that made him very happy, but soon he got so mad at the dog, that he gave it away. Why?
Answer
Ron found bones where the dog had dug, but was too stupid to realize right away that it was the dog's bones. Then he called the local museum and offered to let them dig in that area for money because he thought that there were prehistoric bones in the ground, and he could get rich. When he realized what had happened he got mad at the dog for making him look like a complete idiot. Of course, he was sorry for giving away the dog so he called the people he gave it to and took it back.Hide Answer Show Answer
