The Late Report
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

What if he was badly injured and could not speak?
That's not logic, it's guessing
Or perhaps the dead body was of his wife, who had no other family or friends, and his concience finally got the better of him... Good one, though, but I must say, I rarely develop my photos that soon after my holidays...
Situation, anyone?
I was thinking.. maybe he only just put the bosy there >_> Maybe I'm just morbid.
er... *body even.
i like this one ! i think it should be an episode of law and order !
Bravo!
hmmm... seems a bit of a stretch to me...
wow....that's a bit creepy....other than that, it was good. There could be a lot of other reasons though...
I would not put that picture in the scrapbook: "Yes, that's the one were, two months later, we saw a dead body in the picture. Its a shame though, nobody else got that cool background."
Very good teaser!! I was stumped. Very well-written.
