Unseated Man
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 goes in to a theater to watch the opera. He finds that a man is sprawled over many chairs (including the man's chair). The man says, "Excuse me, please get off my chair." The other man just groans. Again he asks, "Sir, if you don't get off my chair I'm afraid I'll have to call the manager." Again the man groans. A couple minutes later, the man along with the manager and two security guards, go to the area where the man was sprawled. The manager asks, "Sir, may I see the ticket of where you sit?" The man couldn't do anything, just point upward and grumble, "t-t-he bal-co--n-n..." At that moment the man faints and is taken to the hospital. Where did the man come from and why was he sprawled on the chairs?
Answer
The man noted "the balcon." Since he fainted, he couldn't finish saying "the balcony." He fell from the balcony and he was sprawled on the chairs.Hide Answer Show Answer
