it's easy if the person staid dry-there where no water in the pool.
Well, it fooled my wise grandma!
Duh! that was waaaaayyyyyyyy 2 ez
this is a play off an old joke. the black dog in the black street with no street lights on, the driver doesn't have his lights and is coming towards the dog and doesn't hit him.
hehe, sorry, forgot to finish last comment if no one knew the answer. it was daylight.
That was way too easy!!My hampster could figure that out!!
If it's too easy for you, then why go on the second easiest teaser in the first place?!

that was wayyyyyyy 2 ezz!!!
I no its da 2nd easiest puzzle in da place but it waz ez! by far!
This was very easy. Maybe if you concealed the fact that he/she didn't come up wet, then it might be harder. Did you mean for this to be so easy?
I didn't get the answer right. I'm not very smart.
com on that was easy, i'm only 11 and i got it.

you fooled me!
Easy. And never mind that a swimming pool as long and wide as 3 football fields that's 7 feet deep might hold a bit more than 4,000 gallons...
Uh duh! no-brainer!
wait, where was the question?
u should have said, "the man went to the bottom of the pool without getting wet because the pool was empty. How did he get to the bottom without getting wet?" cause that would of been harder then this teaser
Too easy
You meant for this to be easy right?
Mogmatt, I mean no offence at all when I say this: You are a stupid, mean, selfish, nah, just kidding... lol that always gets my brother. anyway, all of these teasers have a kind of why, or how question, so i just sorta put it in, y'know make the question around the teaser, so it's easy, but it's fun.
hi
THE QUESTION WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IF IT WAS "A DIVER DIVED IN A SWIMMING POOL AND CAME OUT DRY WEARING ONLY HIS TRUNKS

Kinda made it a little trickyer to talk al about the length of it than how full it was.
Never thought of that
well, if you think it is too easy/boring, stay out of the easiest teasers section! don't put mean comments unless the teaser deserves it. and don't insult the author, insult the teaser.
PATYMANY, that would not work, because then that person would DIE. And, gee, you almost fooled me. :-) I was going to say the pool was filled with mercury. ;-)
It was okay but it would have been better if you didn't have the hint
The detail I think is left out is this ...
How is it that a swimming pool of almost 7 million cubic feet holds less than 4,000 gallons of water ?

I don't think the teaser is too easy, I just think it belongs in the trick category.
