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
The American flag on the moon was waving faster than it normally does. No one was forcing it to move either.
Why couldn't this happen?

the only problem I have is that it said no one was forcing it but isn't making it the same as forcing it
That was a good teaser, if you didnt know lots about space.... sorry, I wish I could have enjoyed it,... but I know to much about space!
That was dumb
well, i thought it was cute!!! nice job
Yeah! Got that right!
if no one is forcing it to move, then it would have to either have wind (which it clearly doesn't since it is one the moon), or it has a mind of its own (highly impossible), or.... someone is MAKING IT MOVE!!!! (same as FORCING IT TO MOVE)
I always wondered if the flag even is moving... lol!

kind of, well, easy...
i suppose any movement wold be more than normal, so maybe a shuttle was landing near it and that moved it.
anyway, i got it.

How is this a situation?
Actually, because there's no air, (so no wind) there's no air resistance, so the vibrations in the metal pole (from the guy sticking it into the ground) would last longer and be more powerful than on Earth.
kind of easy but I liked it 'cause I could figure it out.
