Brain Teasers
Yacht
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
In the middle of the ocean is a yacht. Several corpses are floating in the water nearby. Why?
Answer
Solution #1A group of people were on an ocean voyage in a yacht. One day, they decided to go swimming -- they put on their swimsuits and dove off the side. They discovered belatedly that they have forgotten to put a ladder down the side of the yacht and were unable to climb back in, so they drowned.
Solution #2
The same situation, but they set out a ladder that was just barely long enough. When they dove into the water, the boat, without their weight, rose slightly in the water, putting the ladder just out of reach.

I don't know how you have the cheek to accuse people of Plagarism, when obviously you are the master of "copy and paste"
I do not feel like arguing today, so just shut up.
What no come back? I think you've lost your touch.
you told me to shut up, so I did. Then you complained! Make your mind up Missie
Oh, gee, don't you know sarcasm? You should because you use it 24/7.
Still no comeback? Awwwwwww, mad-ade's gone soft.
I think that he stops replying once you hit him with a good come-back,missie
Thank-you Pinkie.
sorry, didn't realise we were playing Chase.
Uhm, what's Chase???
running from one place to another following some one.
Ok both of u shut up
can't we all just be cyber friends lol
mad-ade u r ALWAYS on ppl's case, now some one is on yr case, this is how it feels.................. ;)
I may be mistaken, but isn't it a rule that somebody has to stay with an ocean-going vessel of any size? Wouldn't the owner of the yacht have a crewman who would normally remain on board?
hmmmmmmm
mosca- if no one broke rules we wouldn't need a prison.
Definitely plagarism, copied from the movie 'Open Water'. Not even close. Sorry, I guess maybe it would be a good teaser if it wasn't the premise for a movie, but as it stands this is a just a plot summary. Why is it a situational teaser?
