Title: Lateral thinking, some new puzzles
Post by: TightEnd on January 09, 2007, 01:48:48 PM
1. You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus

An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
An old friend who once saved your life.
The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.
 
Knowing that there can only be one passenger in your car, whom would you choose?

2. Acting on an anonymous phone call, the police raid a house to arrest a suspected murderer. They don't know what he looks like but they know his name is John and that he is inside the house. The police bust in on a carpenter, a lorry driver, a mechanic and a fireman all playing poker. Without hesitation or communication of any kind, they immediately arrest the fireman. How do they know they've got their man?

3. How could a baby fall out of a twenty-story building onto the ground and live?

4. A little girl was warned by her guardian never to open the cellar door or she would see things that she was not meant to see. One day while her guardian was out she did open the cellar door. What did she see?

5. A man and his son are in a car crash. The father is killed and the child is taken to hospital gravely injured. When he gets there, the surgeon says, 'I can't operate on this boy - for he is my son!!!' How can this possibly be?

6. There are six eggs in the basket. Six people each take one of the eggs. How can it be that one egg is left in the basket?



I can give hints if you are struggling!

The old friend who saved my life, the old lady about to die, and the woman of my dreams is the same person. The other two are goose stepping Nazis (waiting for the bus in the other direction) so I pick up Nora Battie and rush her home before having some rubbery norkage with the lights off.

4. is she locked in the cellar?

When the girl opened the cellar door she saw the living room and, through its windows, the garden. She had never seen these before because her parents had kept her all her life in the cellar

Ahhhh, i thought i was way out because she couldn't open the door if she was locked in.

The chicky would be too much hard work. You've had it with the dating scene, the lies, the false appearances, the pressure etc. Let the chick drive, your mate needs a sit down in the passenger seat, and stay with Nora yerself.

She looks like she won't be able to fight you off pretty soon. It's raining so lubrication should not be the problem that it usually is on these necrophillic occasions.

Am I outside the wrong box?

I know, I know. I regret posting it now.

You think you're funny sometimes, but occasionaly you can just go too far.

I'd like to apologise now, completely uncalled for, I should have never suggested letting the woman drive the car  :D
