Brain Teasers
Fun in the Sun
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
Bob and Sherry went to the beach. Sherry had warned Bob to wear sunscreen because, after five minutes, he would get a horrible sunburn (which he would if he didn't put sunscreen on). Bob ignored Sherry and didn't put any sunscreen on at all. When Bob went home, he didn't have a sunburn. How could this be?
Hint
Bob was not fully dressed (75% exposure to the sun). It was a very hot and bright day outside with no clouds.Answer
Bob stayed under an umbrella the whole time in the shade, giving him no exposure to the sun.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer

Is there really a need for the ()? The second sentence seems redundant, perhaps rewording would help.
Good one got me.
I thought he was right next to his home and ran and got inside before a sunburn. But, you stumped me. That was actually fun!
it wasnt very interesting,its boring me more than i already am LOL
I was thinking that he was there for less than five minutes. (in the teaser Sherry says that he will get a sunburn after 5 minutes) The answer was just a little too obvious to be a brain teaser.

I agree with Madelulabelle, that was my 1st thought.
There less than 5 mins or didn't get out of his car.
