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
You were kidnapped and trapped in a basement.
You broke out of the basement and found a computer upstairs. You are able to navigate to a webpage to reach out for help. As soon as the message is sent, your location will be pinged and someone can find you.
However there is a problem...
All of the vowels on the keyboard are broken and you hear someone trying to unlock the front door, so you only have a few seconds to type a very short message.
What can you type without any vowels that will save your life?
