Brain Teasers
The Lost Passenger
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
Little Billy was 4 years old and both his parents were dead. His guardian put him on a train and sent him to a new home in the country. Billy could neither read nor write, nor remember the address, so a large label on a string was secured around his neck clearly indicating his destination. However, despite the best efforts and kindness of railway staff, Billy never arrived at his new home. Why?
Answer
Little Billy was a goat. He ate his label, so nobody knew where he was supposed to go!Hide Answer Show Answer

Ok that one is a little weird. Problem is, a 4 year old billy goat isnt that little, and they probably wouldnt let him on a train except in a livestock crate.
It may be not quite accurate, but I enjoyed it - it's going on my favourites.

Haha, if that's an original creation, I liked it. Makes you think a bit more open-mindedly. Good work.
