Cat and 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
A talent scout was in town. Tommy took his cat and dog to show to the scout. Tommy put the cat on the stage. The cat didn't move or do anything interesting. Tommy took the cat off and put the dog on the stage.
Then the dog talked! "I hope I do good" he said to the scout and did a flip. Then the dog bowed. The talent scout looked gleeful. "You got the job," he said to Tommy, "The dog's first show is at 7:00 tomorrow night."
"What about the cat?" asked Tommy.
"I ONLY want the dog," replied the scout.
The night of the dog's performance he just sat on the stage. The dog did not do anything interesting.
