Captain Colonial Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Welcome to the Lateral Thinking Puzzle. A puzzle will be presented to you, and you have to solve it, using only questions that can be answered by me with either a "yes" or a "no". If you lot get completely confused, I may nudge you in the right direction. If you already know the answer, please don't spoil it for the rest. The winner will receive a year's supply of fire ants. So here we go: The morning after a violent storm, Steve and Maria are found dead on the bedroom floor, along with some broken glass and water. What happened, and how did they die? Quote
highwayman Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Was the water from inside the glass? Quote
congorobot Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Did Maria catch Steve with another woman and kill him by throwing a jug of water at him, before off-ing herself? Quote
Captain Colonial Posted February 16, 2007 Author Posted February 16, 2007 Was the water from inside the glass? Yes. Quote
Captain Colonial Posted February 16, 2007 Author Posted February 16, 2007 Did Maria catch Steve with another woman and kill him by throwing a jug of water at him, before off-ing herself? LOL, but no. Quote
highwayman Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Were they dead before the violent storm as they had only been discovered the morning after it? Quote

Martin Keene Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 I like your thinking and I suspect you may have just worked that out... Quote
Captain Colonial Posted February 16, 2007 Author Posted February 16, 2007 Are they goldfish? Yes. Quote
Captain Colonial Posted February 16, 2007 Author Posted February 16, 2007 You've figured out what Steve and Maria are, but not what happened and how they died. Until that happens, no one wins the fire ants. Quote
highwayman Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 I had guessed I hadn't got it all that's why I was open with my question. I have a lateral thinking puzzle I'll post in the next couple of weeks that's a killer unless you've heard it. Was the violent storm in the glass? Quote
