Brain Teasers
Stranger
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
A woman was watching TV in her room when she noticed a stranger standing in her doorway. The woman was frightened but did not speak or call the police. She knew that her visitor was hungry, so she put down some food for him. As he reached for the food, he realized he couldn't reach it because an iron bar was pinning his back. He died, and the woman was pleased. Can you explain this scenario?
Hint

Oh My God way to easy even I got it!!!!
Very easy.
Easy huh? Not for me. My brain hurts from thinking of every animal in the world before I even looked at the hint. Then when I looked at hint I started over thinking of every animal in the world. Thought of a rat even, but could not figure out what that darn iron bar was. Kept thinking of a jail or zoo.

Well, that was a sort of gory way of putting it....
Very good though. I am horrible at situation problems, because most of them seem so random, but this one made sense.

poor mouse
I knew it was some sort of animal; I kept thinking it was a dog and how brutal that horrible woman was! But then I saw that it was a mouse, and it wasn't so bad. Funny, that...
