Brain Teasers
Choking
There once was a beautiful princess. Her name was Anna. Anna had a lovely ring given to her by her mother, who was given it by HER mother, and so on. One day, Anna was lying in a boat, sailing across the lake at the bottom of her garden. She was very fond of letting her hand trickle behind in the water. On this particular day, she was doing the very same thing, when her ring slipped off, and sank to the bottom. She wept for days, ordering her servants to search the bottom, but they found nothing.
A month later, she was eating at a grand banquet to celebrate her 17th birthday. She picked up some fish and ate it. When she swallowed, she coughed. Then she choked. She was hacking away while her servants tried to get whatever was causing the trouble out.
When they did, what do you think it was?

So obvious
I agree!
but what happened to the ring
I don't know what happened to the ring, but that doesn't matter. What does matter is that you enjoy the teaser
HaHa That got me I was sure it was the ring
Cool thanx 4 that!
Even if the fish had swallowed the ring it would have been in the gut, and thrown out when the fish was being cleaned.
There's no right or wrong answer, the question asked, "what do YOU think?" So as long as you think SOMETING, you'll get it right....
Yeah, well if I said "how old do you think I am?" and you said "24" then I would say "nope you're wrong" and that would be right because I'm telling you what you thought was wrong... i'll just shut up now...
I thought this was a good one. I was just getting ready to write some sort of comment saying, "it's so obvious what the answer is, it was obviously the ring!" but i guess i got fooled. good teaser.
That was obvious, but GREAT JOB anyways!!
that was the dumbest joke i've ever heard
Some people may say that this riddle is dumb, but actually I think it's great. I really thought it was the ring! Good job!
That was a good one! i thought it was the ring like everyone else. i have to tell that to my friends!
But you can swallow fish bones? (Although you shouldn't!)
I knew it wasn't the ring but I still thought it was a corny teaser
(no offense)
(no offense)
I thought it was great! I was ready 2 say it was the ring, but it was a cool suprise! I just hope the princess lived! Also, please no one critisize me for not submitting any teasers, cuz I am sorry, but I haven't thought of any good ones!
It was "TOTALY" cool. I actualy liked it.
How could anyone think it was the ring?? They know they're reading a 'Trick' question.
TOTALLY, jerret.
I finally got one!
it was okay
This was easy, but fun.
lol, good one
*sigh* my first thought was "the fish bone" - the ring would have been nice and surprised me
(see, this is what happens when one eats too much fish, you get used to choking on the fish bones)

i thought that it woz the ring as well. good teaser!
Or course it was a fish bone! We eat the "muscle" part of the fish. When fish are cleaned, the organs and intestinal track (where the ring would have been if it had been swallowed) are removed before cooking. Good one! I actually got it . who knew that all those fish I cleaned as a child would one day help me out in braingle
I chocked on galss
do fish actually swallow things ike rings etc? If so, i bet the fish mongers make a fortune out of the things they find in fish gits! Good teaser
I meant *Fish GUTS*!! Not fish gits! Lol, Sorry!
very obvious but you almost got me!!!
Good one!
WOO HOO I GOT IT!! i really enjoyed the teaser
That was pretty easy but probably a cute, fun story to tell to little kids!
Loved it!
Anna's certainly having a rough time
techniccally, the wording "lake at the bottom of her garden" would make no sense, so obviously there is no lake, the princess is stupid, she dropped her ring on the ground, and the fish has nothing to do with it

i guess i shouldn't of conclusions
I got it. Very easy.
I got it too.
I got that right...but why on earth would someone assume that it was the ring?!
Awww no happily ever after? She may have survived the fish bone, but her mother is going to kill her!
