Or maybe the first ran into a birthday cake that had candels lit and the other died of starvation?
Not enough info.
Lilman, that's why it's a situation puzzle!
I sorta got half way there - about the man escaping, but I thought the man surrounded by fire would inhale too much smoke. Good one.
Surely "ran through the fire" is not the same as "ran into a fire". Ran through implies ran out of the fire so his escape is then obvious.
Very interesting. I hadn't thought of that before. However, your wording is a little off. He didn't run "into" the fire.
he did run into the fire - he just ran out of it again
I was thinking a firefighter went into a fire and lived, but then he got lost in the Arctic and died of hypothermia. *shrug* Hey, whatever works.
