Brain Teasers
Room, Broken Glass, Dead Body
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
There is a room and the only way in is a window with a 15 cm gap. There is a broken glass on the floor and a dead body. What happened?
Answer
The dead body is a bird. The bird flew in and knocked the glass off the table; as he flew in, he knocked the latch off the hook and died of starvation.Hide Answer Show Answer

a bit obscure...nice grammar 2
i thought it was some sort of animal or something or someone who was in the room while it was built (?) and dies of starvation or something
you never said that there was a table inside the room....i thought the broken glass was from the window (the bird trying to get in the closed window and breaking through)....also, i didn't realize until a little later that the teaser said there was A broken glass, not just broken glass.....it's ok, i'm just a little slow. lol
I'm confused, does it mean the hook and latch on the window? And if so why is there still a 15 inch gap in the window?
I agree with Frank. And if there was a gap it the window wouldn't the bird be smart enough to fly out?

I haven't read it yet. Is it a fish one?
there could be a fish in the glass and the bird flew out or ate it.
is the window meant to be opened or closed? if it's closed why was it stated to be open? and if it's open, why can't the bird fly back out?
It's big bird.
