I thought of that but you said you can't just leave everything in the middle of the street????
yes, but didn't bring anything... you just walked.
Have a problem adam? Geez. Good riddle BigSurf
But u didn't say that u didn't have a car.
If I said I had a car it would be too easy. Thats part of the teaser! You have to figure out that you didn't bring a car!
bigsurf, when you say "you are in the traffic" it implies that you are part of the traffic. If you are in a car, or other form of transport, then you are indeed "in the traffic". As a predestrian walking along the road, you would only be "AMONGST" the traffic, not actually in it. In the same way that, for example, if you walked through the football team, you wouldn't actually be in the team, only amongst it for a short period. There fore Your teaser is misleading and apocryphal
Oh come on mad-ade. This is the whole point of a trick teaser!! You are going WAY too far into it.
Thanks kiwi.... Mad-ade... a little, how can i say this, "picky" arnt you?

Think about it, why would you have to "just leave everything in the middle of the street" if you had a car?? Good job at misleading!
it's not a big deal whether or not he mentions that he's in a car. although i didn't get the answer, it is a clever riddle.
Meh. Stop arguing. Obviously this teaser wasn't left to much thought before it got sent. No offense, but it's not a good teaser mainly because of Mad-ade's points. Thank you, Mad-ade.
style, i couldn't disagree more. Its great teaser. Bigsurf says everything THROUGH AND COMPLETE. HE NEVER IMPLIES THAT YOUR IN A CAR. THATS WHY IS A "TRICK TEASER".
i agree, i thought it was a good one bigsurf
i agree wiv rot, i thought it was a good one bigsurf
I thought it was misleading and not well written, but I prolly can't do any better so I'm keeping my mouth shut :X
cute teaser, Mad is just that... but in reference to Big's rebuttle to andy, what about clothing?
You could have been in a car at some red lights, which is why the traffic is not moving. They then turn green and you get to your destination on time. As for your answer nobody would need to run 100yards if they have 2 minutes to get there, they would have plenty of time to walk
How come no-one says ona bicycle, skate board, rollerblades etc. Even motorbikes dodge through the traffic. I thought it was easy to spot that he wasn't in a car. Just goes to show you. I thought it was way too easy but others got some fun from it. C'est la vie!
What about waiting for the traffic light to g green?
could u not have parked & then walked?
Pay the cab driver and then walk the rest of the way.
