Tricky Lateral Thinking I
hehe, "Tricky Lateral Thinking".
They are short, but they make you think a loooot, well, for me.
Have fun and enjoy!
1) Bruce wins the race, but he gets no trophy.
2) A horse jumps over a tower and lands on a man, who disappears.

4) A man rides into town on Friday. He stays three nights and leaves on Friday
5) A young woman is whisked away to a far off land, where she kills the first person she meets. Then she teams up with three others to kill again.

Re: Tricky Lateral Thinking I
All of these are kind of vague so you could probably find lots of answer which fulfill the conditions....
Let's do some ramdom guessing
...
These really are just random answers, no idea if they are the ones you are looking for... (I hope I won't ruin my carefully built up reputation with this
). Let's see what everyone else makes of these...

To be honest I just wanted to leave some to ayw as well (and he didn't disappoint me).... he already knows the answers to my ones so he might get boredHolmes wrote: WHAT WERE YOU THINKING SAYUMI!?!?!?!?

Just joking I actually didn't have a clue - I like the 2. but not a chance that I ever would have figured out 5. ( I actually saw a performance of "that" once, but I was either 6 ot 7years old at the time-I don't remember a thing about it...)

Re: Tricky Lateral Thinking I
If you think of a race as an election, and the seat ( president, mayor, congress ... ) as not a trophy you get one answer. Also the one about the lion chasing a deer. We will call the deer Bruce. By the deer winning, it does not die. The saying goes he was just running for dinner, I was running for my life. Define what you mean by Trophy.Holmes wrote: hehe, "Tricky Lateral Thinking".

1) Bruce wins the race, but he gets no trophy.
I was think the three fates for this one. The final Fate ends life with scissors. One weaves the thread to start the life and one measure the thread to determine the length of life.Holmes wrote: 2) A horse jumps over a tower and lands on a man, who disappears.
3) A horse jumps over a tower and lands on a man, who disappears.
4) A man rides into town on Friday. He stays three nights and leaves on Friday
There is another way to do this one . He enters town on Friday leaves before night fall. Come back and stays Tuesday night, Wednesday Night , And Thursday night. The question did not say he could not leave town between the He entered ( Friday ) and the time he left ( Friday )
5) A young woman is whisked away to a far off land, where she kills the first person she meets. Then she teams up with three others to kill again.
