OK, since I can barely figure any of the other lateral thinking questions, I dont wanna feel left out so here is one of my personal favorites.

A woman brought her car up beside a hotel, and knew immediately that she was about to become bankrupt. Why and how does she know?

There are too many answers for that!

It was her hotel and it had been knocked down?
There was a carjacker stood outside her window?
She Pulled over because her bank manager called?

The point hes making are that they are lame puzzles, the ones that Callum etc set have one answer, these are just open ended.

Its like the one where:

Why did the dj kill himself when his radio station skipped.

They're pointless.

These are not pointless things, mes amis. They encourage you to think of things differently, rather than just accept what is in front of you. And this one certainly encourages you to think outside the box, so to speak, and eliminate your own assumptions.

Answer PMd momentarily...

I'm not normally a spoilsport, but there are multiple puzzle threads active now and answers are available only through PM. Perhaps answers should be made available to the general viewing public at some point such as "24 hours after the question is posted". Just a thought. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
