Work has been so riveting today that, in order to control my blatant excitement, I have come up with a few more lateral thinking puzzles.

As Tighty was the first to paste such teasers, I attribute this bunch to Mr End himself.

16 isn’t the roundest number, but here they are…


(1) A man is found shot to death in the front seat of his car; There is no gun in the car. All the windows are closed and the doors are locked; there are no bullet holes anywhere in the car. How is this so? solved by Dewi

(2) There is a dead man lying in the desert next to a rock. Why did he die? solved by Delboy

(3) A man commits murder but doesn’t go to prison even though he is found to be guilty. Why? solved by wardonkey

(4) A man tries the new cologne his wife gave him for his birthday. He goes out to get some food, and is killed. How? solved by Dellboy

(5) A man tells his boss, "Don't take your planned flight today! I had a dream last night that if you do, your plane will crash and you'll die." The boss fires the man. How come? solved by Pontecarlo

(6) A man is running along a corridor with a piece of paper in his hand. The lights flicker and the man drops to his knees and cries out, "Oh no!" Why? solved by The Baron

(7) A woman came home with a bag of groceries, got the mail, and walked into the house. On the way to the kitchen, she went through the living room and looked at her husband, who had blown his brains out. She then continued to the kitchen, put away the groceries, and made dinner. What’s this all about? solved by The Truth

(8) The king dies and two men both claim to be his long-lost son. One of the king's advisors proposes a test to determine the identity of the true heir. One claimant agrees to the test; the other refuses. The one who agreed is sent packing; the one who refused is identified as the rightful heir. How come? solved by Aria

(9) An ordinary American citizen, with no passport, visits over thirty foreign countries in one day. He is welcomed in each country, and leaves each one of his own accord. How is this possible? solved by ironside

(10) A woman has incontrovertible proof in court that her husband was murdered by her sister. The judge declares, "This is the strangest case I've ever seen. Though it's a cut-and-dried case, this woman cannot be punished." How come? solved by The Truth

(11) A black man dressed all in black, wearing a black mask, stands at a crossroads in a totally black-painted town. All of the streetlights in town are broken. There is no moon. A black-painted car without headlights drives straight toward him, but turns in time and doesn't hit him. How come? solved by Aria

(12) A horse leaps over a man and lands on a woman, who mysteriously vanishes. How come? solved by The Truth

(13) A man marries twenty women in his village but isn't charged with polygamy. Why not? solved by Pontecarlo

(14) A woman meets the king, cries "Pain!", and loses consciousness. Why was this? (True story… apparently) solved by Jammer

(15) A man is doing his job when his suit tears. Fifteen minutes later, he's dead. Why? solved by suzanne

(16) An ordinary woman walks on water. How does she manage this? solved by Dewi

5 cos the man works nights and was asleep on the job
13 he was a vicar

7 her husband was an actor and the scene was on the telly

9)Is he playing the board game 'Risk'?

11) It's day time :)

cool answer but not the one I was after.

Nice idea, but no.

Aren't they divided into continents? Been a while.

1 guy was shot outside the car then crawled splaced in car and left

2 dehydration

1) car was a soft top with roof down

3 ten years previous the person he murdered went missing he was found guilty of nurder and jailed the guy then reapears and the man gets let out of jail, he then commits the murder and cannot get sent to jail for the murder as he had already been tried found guilty and punished for the crime

4 he got ran over by a car

15) he works in a lab with poisonous gases/viruses

2) The rock kept going all in with AK, the man had no chips left and starved

for 10 see answer to 3

3. He is in prison already.

6) something to do with someone being executed in the electric chair

11 he flashed a torch into the drivers eyes

16 its only an inch deep

8 The test is a duel with the king?

13 he is the vicar

8 cause the guy who said he would take the test failed the test

A new 1, multiple choice.


How does Ironside answer all of these within 2 mins of each other:

1) Brightest man on Earth
2) Using google

3 most are proberly wrong

lol yeah i just read your answers. 11 for example is because it's daylight, noting to do with a torch!

4, he crashes his cologne (a car)
6  i remember this one now - the peice of paper is a stay of execution but he is late delivering and the man dies in the electric chair (hence the lights flicker)

i have one for you
a man pushes his car and stops outside a london hotel - he then starts crying as he realises he has no money  why?

whats wrong witht the torch idea?

And locked the doors?

Good guess tho.

sounds like an obvious but the rock has some relevance.

you may have to expand on this theory.

 :D :D :D

the guy who shot him locked the door before he closed it

Why? Was he worried the fella would get mugged?

 ;)

I suppose this is feasible, but not what I was looking for.

Would that not be walking in water.

This is on. ie. the surface.

I love this one, but we've already had it in Tighty's Part 1.

the water was very salty

Is that not right?

Yes it is.

Ironside's concotions were priceless.  :D

And I can clarify that he is NOT cheating.


I've edited the inital post now.

Is 16 that the water was frozen

or is she on a boat

Dewi's was the answer I have.


With yours, wouldn't she be walking on wood then, or have I missed something?

she's walking and she's on water. most of these have a few pedantic answers.

10 her sister killed herslef after murdering her husband so cant be punished as she is deader than a parrot in a monty python sketch

That probably wouldn't be the strangest case that the judge had ever seen.

ok the sister killed the husband with the dead parrot then dived naked from an RAF flighter jet into a out door swimming pool that was holding an world championship race narrowly missing ian thorpes massive feet but smashing her head on the bottom of the pool which killed her


happy now?

dont exagerate   0:-)

I think I like your theory better.  :D

No 2 Was the rock a meteor that hit him on the head?
     5 The man was his pilot?
     7 She was hungry?
     9 Surfing Ebay?
   15 Is he a deep sea diver?

Number 15 is correct.

No2 is a nice interpretation but not the one I was after.

ok number 2 the idiot guide he saw a mirage of an oasis dived into it head first but unfortunately it was a rock and he fractured his skull

10 siamese twins

correct

7 her husband killed himself some time ago - she merely looked at a photo of him or maybe his ashes in an urn on the mantel piece

12 was doing me in but its obvious - its chess, the horse is a knight, the man a bishop or king and the lady is the queen who is taken from the board.

10 wht would she not be able to be punished?

if she went to prison then her twin would have to go with her, which isn't really feasible cos she's innocent.

WRONG

well , I stand corrected if that's not the case.

That question wasn't mine though.


Now go solve a puzzle. I'd be delighted to stick your name in red, but you need to meet me in the middle.  ;) ;)

i told you about the oasis and the rock

that's not the answer. 8)

think i have an answer for the desert one but is a bit silly. the clue is when I saw a post title about crypto tournies - is this warm snoppy?

9 he visit the embassies of the countries in the USA which are legally part of the country they represent but an american doesnt need a passport to visit them

Ironside, have you been googling...

 :D

nah watching a recording of sas files in which the sas are envading iran or should i say the iranian embassy

Well, it's the right answer.

Well done. You are officially in the red.  :)up

ok in the desertthe guy is on his camel that throws a wobbly and throws him off cracking his head on the rock

ok ad, the guy found dead in the desert next to the rock (2). I'm figuring if its not the oasis thing Ironside suggested (which is what I originally thought)...


Was the guy lost in the desert and crawling desperately out before he dehydrated...he passed the rock, and crawled and crawled gasping for desperate for water...and then eventually came by the rock again, realised he'd been crawling around in circles and there was no hope, and gave up?

It's a beautiful story, but...no.

bah.

Are you sure I didn't get it right, and you've changed the answer?

Revenge after years of beating you at ISS, super tennis and super street fighter?

would 14 have anything to do with her being a frog

i knew those 4 years at high school french lessons werent wasted

2 he was WWE owner vince machmon and he sack mick foley so the rock took him out to the desert and kick his head in

ROFL! :)

brilliant.

 :blonde:

i notice my names not in red

 :)up Now you're really using your loaf.

Classic Snoppy. I know the answer to this one and if that aint a clue I will eat my beret.

(2) There is a dead man lying in the desert next to a rock. Why did he die?


Was the rock Adam M and he died from over exposure to bad beat stories?

(ducks for cover) :D

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

(2) There is a dead man lying in the desert next to a rock. Why did he die?

The rock was dropped by a bird of prey and hit the guy on the head killing him?

(eagles do this to kill tortoises!!!)

2) Sabotaged parachute?

(2) There is a dead man lying in the desert next to a rock. Why did he die?


was the rock kryptonite?

Was the man superman?

(8) The king dies and two men both claim to be his long-lost son. One of the king's advisors proposes a test to determine the identity of the true heir. One claimant agrees to the test; the other refuses. The one who agreed is sent packing; the one who refused is identified as the rightful heir. How come?


they were asked to marry the King's daughter!

Still 3 to find.

A man tries the new cologne his wife gave him for his birthday. He goes out to get some food, and is killed. How?


This played on my mind all night.... "why would a man that smelt different die?"

Then my wife asked for some honey in her tea.....I got it!


The man was a beekeeper. The bees attacked him cause they didn't recognise his scent!!!!

Yeah, that's correct.  :)up

I thought no1 would get that one.

I hope you weren't googling, Mr Dellboy!  ~:

(14) If "pain" is bread, then...

is the woman the king's food taster and she's had the bread, realised its poisoned and is warning him before she passes out?

The King's right to rule is divine and should, under no circumstances, be tested by mere humans!

Or

the king is elvis and the one who agreed to the test wasn't wearing his Blue suede shoes :dd: :pop:

2 no's I'm afraid.

Question 8 )

The 2 claimants are asked to undergo a paternity test using a sample of blood. The one that agrees is proven not to be the son of the king. The natural son refuses as he knows that he suffers from haemophilia (a resessive genetic trait which prevents blood clotting and known to be common in the royal family because of incest  ;sex;) and possibly because of the method used to obtain blood for paternity test knows that he risks injury and may possibly die as a result (bleed to death).

Therefore he is declared the actual heir as the representatives of the king knew of the medical disorder.

Kind of tenous this one as in an age capable of providing a paternity test it would be assumed that they are also capable of obtaining genetic material by a mean other than blood.......but hey its a logic puzzle :)

correctemondo.

Have a choccy treat.  8)

This is so close that I'll give it to you.

Apparantly, the French King invited some homeless folk into his palace, but one woman was so famished that when she arrived she dropped dead of starvation whilst screaming the word 'Pain' (Bread in French).

Iron was the first to cotton on to the French translation.
