Lateral thinking puzzles or Stories with Holes?!
Question: 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
1. 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.
What do you do to please everyone?
2. A man is found lying in the middle of the desert, dead. He was clearly not murdered, but the only thing near him is an unopened package. Without opening or even taking a second glance at the package, the cause of the man's death is apparent. How did the man die?
3. The police are looking for a suspected murderer. All they know is that his name is John, and he lives in a particular house. They bust down the door to find a fireman, a taxi driver, a carpenter, and a mechanic playing poker. Without question, the police immediately arrest the fireman. Why?
4. A man steps onto an airplane, yells a hearty greeting to his friend, and is promptly arrested. Why?
