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

Answer
The man is a lawyer and the papers were evidence that his client was innocent. When the lights flickered on and off his client was electrocuted in the electric chair and died. At that point all hope was lost and he went home.Hide Answer Show Answer
