Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 Since NYU gave it away, the guy was caught cheating at cards (i.e. he hid an extra Ace). A man is found dead over a puddle of water, how did he die? clutching a stone? with a backpack on? The water & backpack answers I know. What is the stone answer? Here's one: you are hiking through the woods, and come across a cabin w/ a bunch of dead people scattered around. How did they die? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2006 How can you get a fully grown apple inside of a bottle. The bottle has to be a normal glass bottle which has no breaks, the entrance of which is clearly too small for the apple to pass through. The apple must end up in perfect condition. How? When the apple is growing on a tree and is still real small, you stick it inside a bottle and secure it so that the bottle doesn't fall off but its also not too heavy to break the tree limb. Then you wait for the apple to continue growing until its full size. I obviously didnt read the 2nd page of this thread or I would have noticed that Special K already got it. Good for him.

Or perhaps the 'you' in question is a serial killer? How would that be possible? If a serial killer comes up upon a log cabin and the people are already dead, then he got beat to the punch...

Mik 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2006 A child gets into a terrible accident while his father is away at a medical conference. Someone finds the child and rushes him to the hospital. The doctor turns around and says, "I can not operate on this boy, he is my son." How did this happen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2006 the "him" that is being found is the father/doctor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mik 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2006 Sorry, Rando, I realize now that my wording was ambiguous. The "him" is in fact the child. The answer is something else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2006 The father at the medical conference is a step-father and the real father, who is also a doctor, knows who his son is? OR The time between when the kid is hurt and when the kid is found and taken to the hospital is long enough time for the father to get back from the conference.
