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
A man is in a music room that is filling with a colorful gas rather quickly. With very limited vision, he is able to find 3 keys in the room, in 3 different places. The keys are all just about the same size. However, almost immediately, he tosses back one of the keys. He never bothers to try it in the door, which is locked and the only way out. Why does the man do this?
Answer
The man throws away one of the keys immediately because although he can't see well, he knows by feeling it, that the key he picked up was a PIANO key. It was found under the piano in the music room.Hide Answer Show Answer
