Best Friends
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, two guys who were best friends and hadn't seen each other for a long time met each other. Neither of them were blind or deaf, and both of them were able to speak. Yet, they didn't talk to each other.
Why?

the question states the they were both able to speak, yet the answer clearly points out that they were not.
they may have been able to speak in normal circumstances, but this puzzle isn't about normal circumstances, they are both underwater. so they are not able to speak, like the question says.

True it should haev said that they were capable of speaking but did not.
i agree with mad, but i still think its cute
how on earth did they manage to recognise each other under all the scuba gear!!
Wouldn't they talk sign language?
Jimbo - Thay may well have communicated with some form of sign language or signals but they could not "talk"
very clever.
its a shame though when you see the same people posting negative comments on everyone's teasers. almost as if they are looking for ways to debunk them. very sad.
nice job though, liked it.

The definition of talk I like best in my Webster's is "to use (a language) for conversing or communicating". Sign language, which is necessary for scuba divers to talk with one another.
The fact that they didn't "talk" leads me to believe they did not have a good scuba instructor.
