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
Mr. Dribble hailed a taxi. While being driven to his destination, he started chattering non-stop to the driver. The driver realized that Mr. Dribble would not shut up, so he resorted to an old taxi driver's trick. He looked into the rear view mirror and said, "I'm sorry mister, I can't hear a word you are saying. My hearing aid broke this morning and I'm totally deaf without it!" After the taxi driver dropped Mr. Dribble off, and he had paid the fare, he realized that the driver had lied to him. How did he know?
