Brain Teasers
Iced Tea
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 guys walk into a restaurant. They both order iced tea which is poured from the same pitcher. One of them drinks his iced tea slowly and one of them drinks it fast. They walk outside, and suddenly the guy who drank his tea slowly drops to the ground and dies. They order an autopsy and find that he died from poison. How could this be if the other guy drank the same tea and didn't even get sick?
Answer
There was poison in the ice of the drinks. The guy who drank it fast finished it before the ice melted. The guy who drank it slowly gave the ice time to melt, so the poison got in the drink and he died.Hide Answer Show Answer

The poison was found inside the ice.
The man who drank slowly had the poison melt into the tea while the man who drank quickly didn't.

Read a version of this they guys were kidnapped and told the only way to be free was to drink the poison. One guy thought the kidnappers were bluffing and survived, one hesitated long enough for the ice to melt
