And yet the straws somehow manage to stay on the floor?!
Yea, wouldn't the straws be at the cieling(or the surface)?
too many posibilities but it was a good answer
"Two of the men" in the teaser we aren't even told there is a third man?
or it could be in the old west and they were surrounded by Indians. They drew straws to see who would run past the Indians to get help. Then they were massacred.
The men would float too, wouldn't they?
The men were in a airplane cabin, the airplane crashed and one man survived. is another answer, but good though
Really good brain teaser.
there were originally three psychopathic murderers in the room - they drew straws to see which of them would get to kill the other two (well it was the best explanation i could come up with :lol
sweetime, that's a great answer!!!!
Where did the cabin come from?
or a plane was going down and there was only one parachute.
good, but I like luckypuppy's answer better.
