The Trick
Situation
Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.Situation
I was the best jumper in the school. My friend gave me a "simple" task: "Just jump over the two coins without using anything which allows you to jump very high. I'll place them no more than three feet apart".
I tried and succeeded, but with only a VERY hard try.
I thanked him for the clever trick.
What did my friend do to make the jump so difficult?

Pretty good. I was thinking you put them on a table
I was thinking that he put one on one side of a door, and the other one on the other side of the door...That actually happened...xD
i thought it was one three feet above the other one, which means that you needed to be able to jump 3 feet high and across
if he stood between them then how did you suceed?
I still don't get it.
I actually knew a man that can jump over me. Remember, this is school. And it wasn't me. I just told teaser from 1st person.
Really good one, although figured it out....
interesting jumpy joe!
had to laugh at my dumbness
i thought he had another friend and stood far away from them. and the coins were placed between the two friends' feet
There are so many possibilites, but it was fun anyway
did not figure it out at all!!!loved it though.
I know people who can do that even with a person standing inbetween them
I laughed like crazy at the way the answer was worded!
