Something Goes Out
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
One day Something decided to go out to a movie. On the way there, he met Nothing. When he bumped into him, Nothing nastily said, "Hey, why don't you watch where you're going next time?"
Something gently replied, "I am simply going to a movie, so I am ever so sorry if I hurt you, for I am in a hurry."
"Well I am going to a movie too," Nothing replied scathingly.
How did Something and Nothing run into each other if they were both going in the direction of the movies?

That was easy but at least you tried. i hate it when people will insult a teaser and they've never added one themself. But thats what i'm doing so i guess its kindda harsh. So well done and keep them coming.
thats ok... just try to make some teasers yourself to get a high rating
something, will you marry me?
No!
aside from going to different theaters, another possibility is that Something was in a bigger hurry than Nothing and, as he was passing Nothing, bumped into him.
oh, good point, dewtell i never thought of that... well i guess i should have... my town has only one theatre.... and instead of saying nothing, i originally called it hurrifend, just because i was especially mad at him at the time, but the wise-o-wise people at braingle changed it... i was expecting it to get a better fun rating because of the hurrifend thing but it got changed...: (
oh well
oh well
sorry, instead of dewtell i meant bluetwo
I thought something could have just been going faster than nothing
They could have also both already been in the theatre, but going towards different screens. Or Something could have bumped into Nothing as Nothing left his home.
OK.........kinda cheesy though
i thought they were both going towards the movie complex, but were approaching it from different sides, so something was walking from the left of the building, and nothing from the right, then they bumped into each other when they went to go through the door
I figured they were already in the theatre. My town has a theatre in which when you go up the ramp there are about 15 theaters to the left and 8 to the right. If Nobody was going to theater, say, 13 (on the left) and Somebody was going to theater 22 (on the right), they could bump into each other.
