Lost Ring
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

Isn't the type of ring you pull in this situation attached? Making it impossible to throw in a lake? Just wondering, I don't know much about that particular 'event'.
um im no professional skydiver but the ring attached to the line is also attached to the chute. so he couldnt have thrown it in the river. but maybe some chutes r designed differently.
ISN'T ALL SO ROMANTIC??
or maybe her ring was too tight and it was cutting off the circulation of her finger........
yeah maybe but then why throw it into a lake?

they're getting married while their skydiving?
Perhaps it was the One Ring created by the dark lord Sauron
Was that from LOTR? I never saw that movie; I prefer Harry Potter. By the way, the 5th book is coming out in June! I am bouncing off the walls!
Of course it's from Lord of the Rings, which, I might add, owns Harry Potter.
No offense, but the Lord Of The Rings is okay, BUT THE MOVIE 4 HARRY POTTER SUX! I liked the book, but the movie was SO babish, (and I 'm 11 by the way)
I agree, the movie for Harry Potter was bad. I loved both the books and the movies for Lord of the Rings.
I didn't want to start an argument! Sorry about that.
why is everyone so AGAINST this teaser?!! i know its rude of me, but you people are all just LOOKING for something to be wrong in this teaser! i HATE it when people just go around looking at teasers and are just TRYING to find something wrong!i also hate it when people look at a teaser, hmm this looks hard they think. they cant figure out the answer and look at it. wow! this teaser should have been easy! they think. so then they rate it badly and are commenting about OHHH THIS IS SOOO EASY! when they couldnt even figure out the answer!
thanks ilovetorate
oh yeah, but they're not all really AGAINST it, but thanx anyway
ilove, personally I don't go looking for teasers to try and find flaws (though when I edit I have to or we get in trouble for accepting incorrect teasers onto the site) I simply mention them if I see them as I did here. If you look at many of my comments I simply try to help out if I can. I'm not against this teaser, I merely asked a question and even added that I may be wrong as I'm not an expert in this area. Thanks for your thoughts though as I do believe there may be some around who do actually do what you have talked about here. Cheers, D^2
Thanks D^2.
