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
Mr. B and his wife had a problem with nosy neighbors. They had a very large living room window and Mrs. B refused to put curtains or blinds up. At night their neighbors could look right into their living room when the lights were on. This greatly bothered Mr. B until he had an idea. "I just need to do something with that lamp", he declared one night. He didn't turn the lamp off but what he did worked very well.

I thought he either put the lamp in a different room or took the lamp and smashed it over the neighbors heads causing death!!

Glare is caused by reflection of light which means that Mr. B could not see out, but does not stop people from seeing in.
