Rose Garden
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
There once was an evil wizard. He took 3 women from their homes and turned them into rose bushes that looked exactly alike. He put them in his garden. One of the women had a husband and children and begged the wizard to let her see them. He agreed. At night he brought the woman to her house. In the morning he came and took her home. Next day the husband decided to go rescue her. So he snuck into the wizard's garden. He looked and looked at the 3 identical rose bushes trying to figure out which could be his wife. Suddenly he knew the answer and he took his wife home. How did he know which rose bush was his wife?
Answer
The wizard brought the rose bush to her home at night and returned her to the garden in the morning. Therefore, she was the only plant without dew.Hide Answer Show Answer

But you said he brought the WOMAN to the house, you said nothing about her still being a rosebush.
you said ONE day the husband went to rescue the wife not THAT day she would only not have dew on her if it was that same morning
why would he want to take her home if he dnt have magic powers then shes just gonna be a rosebush :S and also why did the evil wizard take these poor lil women, the meanie!
Was the woman's home a dew-free zone, as opposed to the wizard's garden?
Why would the man even want a rosebush for a wife, what if she got trampled///
I agree with what everyone else said to.

ooooooo was the wizard Voldemort? I love Harry Potter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It would work better if the wizard turned the bush back into a woman and then turning her into a bush again.
I read a similar story like this in which a woman is turned into a poppy by a witch. She can go to her mother every night and can only be free if she is plucked from the group of poppies where she is. It was the same answer of the teaser so I Immediately knew it.
