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?
