Brain Teasers
Forgotten Keys
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
Last winter, Mad Ade came home from work to find his back garden full of water. To make matters worse, he had left his house keys at the "Sweaty Chef" Kebab shop. Mad Ade noticed that one of the upstairs windows was open, but it was too far up for him to reach. Without the use of ladders, steps, climbing up the wall or calling a neighbour to help out, how did Mad Ade manage to reach the window?
Answer
It's winter, the water in the back garden was in the form of snow, and Mad Ade just kept piling up the snow until he could reach the window ledge.Hide Answer Show Answer

that was pretty ok, but why did u name da guy MAD_ADE
If there's one bad garden snow teaser, I haven't heard it!
That's ridiculous. Water isn't snow.
What is it made of then?
I didn't say snow wasn't made from water. I said snow isn't water. You said the garden was full of water. I'm guessing that it was actually full of snow.

He could just walk back to the kebab shop and get his keys.
winter is not always cold. I live in Hawaii.
I was thinking that if the garden was full of water, I figured that maybe your garden was boxed in and that you just filled it more with water until you could swim up and open the water....now if that isn't a reach for the answer, I don't know what is...
I think i is REALLY good! I mean PRATICALLY all the other teasers I've heard b4! This one is really good! And A_N_D_Y the water was just to throw u off! DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, u wouldn't know a good teaser if it hit u in the head!
oh.. i though he had a minifridge with him and he froze the water into ice then stacked it up to his window...j/k
Who has mini friges with them.
he stood on a chair oh so conveniently left in his backyard
he climbed a nearby tree and swung from the tree (using the rope that the swing for his kids hung off) into the window
he stole some of peter pan's fairy dust and flew to the window
he pushed the trampoline from his backyard up to the window and proceeded to bounce his way to the window
he climbed up a tree, landed on his roof and scaled down the wall to the window
(or the most logical) he broke a window on the lower level, climbed in through that, then walked up the stairs to the top window
sorry couldn't help myself

i thought that the water was soo deep that he could swim through it to reach the window but piling up snow is good too. i didnt think of snow because it dont snow where i live in winter, so yh
nice job i had a laugh out of it

I disagree because when you stand in the snow your feet sink down. Unless he was convieniently wearing snowshoes. Also, if the snow was piled up high, how could he get to the top? Sorry, but this teaser was not very good.
