Blood
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
Tissue dropped in with his friend, Vap O. Rub, to find him sleeping on the couch with the TV turned on. He saw fresh blood on the ceiling above his head, and checked with Vap (after waking him) to make sure everything was ok. Everything was, indeed, fine. Why was Vap's blood on the ceiling, but nowhere else?
Answer
Vap had swatted a mosquito that had bitten him while he attempted to get some sleep.Hide Answer Show Answer

I don't understand how Vap could have swatted the mosquito on the ceiling...he would have had to stand up and jump...
You said it was Vaps blood
Good one! I agree with Christina that it would have more likely been the wall than the ceiling. But CCat, it is Vap's blood!
umm, the answer was a little strange to me, in order for vap's blood to be on the ceiling, the mosquito must have been the size of Rottweiler and it probably hit the jugular. so that answer in away......makes sence. Tissue if I am wrong plz correct me.

It was Vap's blood, because when a mosquito bites you, it's really sucking your blood...which means when it's done, the mosquito is filled with your own blood. When you DO kill the mosquito, YOUR blood comes out.....i just grossed myself out.
First of all, how could he swat a mesquito that was on the ceiling? His ceiling would have to be about 3 feet off the ground if he swatted it while lying on the couch. Secondly, it must've been a huge mesquito that drained a ginormous amount of blood from him if Tissue noticed it.
Thank you Tissue! Finally a situation teaser that makes sense. Good one. Now I'll look for that other one!
But on the other hand, he could've been in one of those rooms where the ceiling slants down sharply. not just the normal flat ceiling you normally have. Could've been a caravan as well...
i thought that vap was just being bizarre and had decided to paint the ceiling with his own blood (did i mention that he was being bizarre?)
*shrug* it was okay. a little tricky, maybe.
There is no way he could hit the ceiling and hit a mosquito. And even if he somehow did, how would Tissue see the tiny bit of blood, and why would he assume something was wrong...and how could he even notice the tiny dot of blood?
I don't mean to sound rude, but it just doesn't seem very logical.

Wooow, guys. "He saw fresh blood on the ceiling above his head." It doesn't say Tissue identified the blood as Vap's. Tissue just saw blood and wasn't sure. Maybe he saw the mosquito's blood, and wasn't familiar with mosquitos, so he wanted to check with Vap.
I can never focus on the teaser when the names are weird like that.
gap and tissue... weird names!
i meant vap.
