Fun in the Water
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 man falls into 10-foot deep water. He falls underwater, then comes up yelling, "NO CAN SWIM!" Onlookers did nothing. Even his family, which was only a few feet away, did nothing. A half an hour later, he walks out completely fine.
Why wasn't anyone worried, and why was he safe?
Why wasn't anyone worried, and why was he safe?
Hint
Although his family pushed him into the water, they love him very much, and don't want him to drown.Answer
The man's name is No, and he is at a pool party. As a joke, his family pushed him into the pool. The onlookers were friends of his, and knew he was safe when he yelled that he could swim.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer

Great first teaser!
A comical teaser, as long as you knew the situation. I have run into a few other teasers, where the situation was different, yet! And no one was alarmed Fantastic teaser! Keep up the Awesome work!
Thanks guys! I wasn't sure how everyone here would like it.
HAHA! funny. got me there
I'm sure I've said this before, but I HATE teasers where the answer is "His name is ____".
I mean seriously, what kind of childhood did this kid endure just so a riddle could be written after him

The 'wierd names' type of thing
And here I thought he was wearing floaters on his arms.
also he could be 11 ft tall so he doenst need to be able to swim
There's no accounting for taste. I thought this was one of the better situation teasers and it is only rating 2.1 at this stage for popularity. This is much lower than many lame teasers one sees. Come on people, it is rather clever isn't it?
Who names their kid No????
it quite reminds me of the Oddyssey, by Homer. the guy to the cyclops his name was Nobdy... etc. nice teaser
LOL! Great teaser! Now I'll have to tell all my friends to name their kids No!
I thought he had a life jacket
I thought he was in the dead sea
Haha!
Weird - apparently 3 years ago I thought he was in the dead sea, but today I thought he was wearing a life jacket...maybe next time I'll remember his name is No!
