Cube Root
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
Why did a man put two cubes in a glass of water? The cubes are not ice cubes or sugar cubes and no drink or refreshment is involved.
Hint
Dropping the cubes in the water could save him a lot of money.Answer
The cubes are a pair of dice to be used in a craps game. If they are loaded, they will always sink to the bottom of the glass with their heaviest side down. This is a way of checking that the dice are fair.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer
