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
"Mr. Fieth is going to try to smuggle the stolen paintings out of the country tonight. How he intends to do it is anyone's guess, but suspect anything," stated Mr. Shadow. That night Mr. Shadow was contacted by airport customs officials and informed that they had caught a disguised Mr. Fieth attempting to board a plane, with the Mona Lisa hidden in a tube with a bunch of architectural drawings. They also told him that he claims he's innocent and that they can't hold him! "He's right", replied Mr. Shadow, "let him go." Why?
Answer
Mr. Fieth was testing the security system and he did so by using a phony painting. Mr. Shadow knew this was not the real Mona Lisa because the real painting is painted on a panel of wood and cannot be bent or rolled!Hide Answer Show Answer

I got it!!!!!!!! Great teaser!!!!
Isn't this from Mindtrap? Since that's where I got my username from, I should know. So is it or not?
Yes it is from Mindtrap - there's a whole series of them submitted by people who have just copied word for word. I'm surprised it's been allowed!
I still give them high ratings because they're fun - but I wish the plagiarists would at least adapt the concept.

That was amazingly easy. YES!
