Clever... but grosse!
good puzzle.. very tough
how do you drown someone by exploding a waterbed?! The amount of water isn't enough!
actaully just a tablespoon of water can drown sum1! U only need enough to cover their mouth and nose! hee hee im smarterr than u think
Clever! But I thought she was on a hospital bed with mechanical lungs breathing for her, and someone cut the pipe. Good though!
I thought she had cut into a lamp or radios power cord and electrocuted herself. But I could see your answer working if she was held under the water or paralyzed.
really really clever( makes me think twice about buying a waterbed)
Yet another stolen brain teaser. I am begging people, please think of your own!
yeah i thought she was in hospital as well, with someone cutting the line to an oxygen tank (or the like)
I liked this one and I don't like situation teasers.
definately, i thought about cutting an oxygen tank whilst they slept, but then i thought "why not just turn it off"
nice puzzle
nice puzzle
Similar thoughts to Eterpay - I thought maybe the killer cut a line to her IV
Everyone says that this is clever, but Blaze didn't think of this on his own. He simply changed the name of the person. This teaser is in fact from my favourite game of all time, Mindtrap. The name was the only thing that was changed. Should you give Blaze full credit for this clever teaser? I THINK NOT!!!
