Brain Teasers
Jerry Mayor of Smelliville
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
One day Jerry Mayor from Smelliville was visiting the neighbouring country of Madadia and was sitting in the Penistone mainline railway station. He was sitting very uncomfortably in the waiting room and was staring intently at two doors that were at the opposite end of the room. Jerry Mayor was not a happy man at that point. In fact he was in dire distress. He then noticed a young man enter one of the doors. Instantly Jerry, with a great smile, followed the young man through the door and after a few moments he returned with an even bigger smile on his face.
Why would Jerry Mayor be so happy after following a young man through the door?
Why would Jerry Mayor be so happy after following a young man through the door?
Answer
Jerry could not understand the words written upon the doors, they were written in the Madadian national language (Kebabese) so he did not know which door lead to the gents toilets, and he was desperate to go, but did not wish to risk walking into the ladies by mistake. The young man entering one of the doors showed him what he needed to know.Hide Answer Show Answer

Nice teaser

Nice teaser

I was lead to this teaser by the name "Smelliville", which looks similar to "Smallville"

Look out Mad. Clark Kent is going to insist you change this teaser

He wouldn't be the first would he?
Fun!
i was thinking dirty for a second there


I've already written to the Madadian tourism council to get them to put little stick people on the restroom doors. You know, to prevent international scandal. See, once when I was in France...

Yah.. sounded a little bit dirty there.. lol.
Anyways, I've never heard of someone beaming because they just used the bathroom.. a little strange don't you think? Lol...

It was a cute teaser! I also thought of Smallville
However, there TECHNICALLY could be more then one answer for that teaser


If I had to pee that bad I would have just went outside. And about that guy showing him what he needed to see.......
I knew this one right away. Way easy. But good, ill give ya that.

really easy!!!
nice story though!!








Got it right away, but was cool




ok
Haha, I actually got that one!
Very Creative!

That was cute and i got correct first try

he couldve knocked on the door to see if he heard a voice of course and if they were both empty i think he wouldve been able to tell the difference







I thought he was a dog and couldn't open the door himself.






Hah!

I have no Comment!
Hated it!
And I'm starting to think there's no such thing as Madadian.... or Kebabese!

It was hard to keep the towns straight
It was great! Very funny. I thought it was easy, 'cause I was listening to music (Panic! At the Disco...Yum...) and I wasn't "reading clearly" so I was thinking, "Okay so the guy showed him which bathroom door was right. What's the question?" then I re-read it and I'm like, "Oh! I got it!" I scare myself sometimes.
I GOT IT!!!! I GOT IT!!!!
Aren't all of you so happy for me?
You aren't? COOL!!!!
