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
Two men made a bet with each other for £300 to stay in a house that was infested with bumblebees for one day. The first man went into the house and came running out after 5 minutes, covered in bee stings. The second man went into the house, stayed in there for the whole day, and came out with only one bee sting.
How did he manage this without getting stung to death?
