I WILL RESURRECT THIS SUBFORUM (Rocshi's Lateral Thinking Puzzle #1)

[Rocshi]

The glass breaks, and Paul and Crystal are dead.

Why?

I will answer with yes, no, or irrelevant.

[BorkBot]

Paul is a fish in a fishbowl, and the crystal is the bowl itself.

[Rocshi]

Paul is a fish in a fishbowl, and the crystal is the bowl itself.

Not exactly, butI'll take it.

Crystal is another fish.

Bleh. Too easy.

Puzzle #2:

A man walks into a bar and dies.

Why?

Yes, no, or irrelevant.

[BorkBot]

:p

Owned you within a minute hehe.

Did he die by natural cause?
Or was he injured?
Or did he come in contact with a substance that would suffocate or otherwise kill his body from within (poisoning etc)?

[Rocshi]

No
Yes
No

[BorkBot]

Did the man get involved in a fight?
Is the bar in question the type of bar where people go to have a drink?

[Rocshi]

No
No

[CmG]

because he got shot in the wicki wicki wowow wildwest while dueling another cowboy. Then he stumbled into the saloon bar.

[Rocshi]

Nope

Look at above post

[BorkBot]

With the answer being Yes to the second question, I don't see how I'm close. If the answer had been No to that one, I would've known the answer to the puzzle (I think ;) )

Did the man trip over an object and break something due to a fall?

[CmG]

he walked into an uranium bar and died at radioactive injuries :D

[Rocshi]

notice the edit monsieur.

[BorkBot]

Oh you changed the 2nd answer to no. Derp.

He walked into a physical bar, as in the shape, of some hard material and knocked himself out/killed himself.

[BorkBot]

Probably blunt force trauma to the head.

[CmG]

or metal bar to the knee

[BorkBot]

Not an arrow in the knee? :p

[Rocshi]

Correct.

Puzzle #3:

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out.

Yes, no, or irrelevant.

This is pretty easy.

[CmG]

there is nothing wrong with it

[BorkBot]

the VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV at the top is pretty damn odd.

[Rocshi]

there is nothing wrong with it

There's nothing WRONG.

The question is, what is UNUSUAL?

[Rocshi]

the VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV at the top is pretty damn odd.

I added that to point at the question.

Cause it doesn't look like a question.

[CmG]

Notepad++ says nothing unusual about it

[BorkBot]

Does it have anything to do with the frequency of a word's occurrence?
Or that of a letter's occurrence?

[Rocshi]

Does it have anything to do with the frequency of a word's occurrence?
Or that of a letter's occurrence?

No
YES I NEED TO STOP COPYPASTING OFF GOOGLE BLEH

[CmG]

google says "e"! is missing

[BorkBot]

Honestly, I haven't googled any of it.

But it's possible that I have heard the same riddles way back in highschool, and that I vaguely recall what the trick was.

In addition to that, I like puzzles more than I should. I find much in life to be too boring to hold my attention for long, but puzzles are a nice challenge for the mind :)

[Rocshi]

google says "e"! is missing

FINE ILL MAKE UP MY OWN THIS TIME

correct

Puzzle #4:

A man gets stuck in an elevator. He realizes seconds later that his friend is dead.
NO GOOGLE THIS TIME
Why?

Yes, no, or irrelevant.

[CmG]

was his friend under the elevator?
was his friend involved in the stucking elevator?
has the man 200 kilo and crushed his friend?

[Rocshi]

was his friend under the elevator?
No

[BorkBot]

As I already said, I didn't use google. Believe it or not.

Is his friend's dead body jamming the elevator and stopping it from moving?

[Rocshi]

was his friend under the elevator?
was his friend involved in the stucking elevator?
has the man 200 kilo and crushed his friend?

No again
Eh...I'm gonna go with no.
No

[Rocshi]

As I already said, I didn't use google. Believe it or not.

Is his friend's dead body jamming the elevator and stopping it from moving?

No
And that was mainly for CmG

[BorkBot]

Are the "seconds later" after he gets stuck?
Or is it meant to imply seconds after he gets UNstuck?

[Rocshi]

Are the "seconds later" after he gets stuck?
Or is it meant to imply seconds after he gets UNstuck?

After he is stuck, before he is unstuck.

[BorkBot]

Does someone communicate with him while he's stuck?
Is his friend with him inside the elevator?

[Rocshi]

Does someone communicate with him while he's stuck?
Is his friend with him inside the elevator?

No
No

[BorkBot]

Is the man himself about to die when he gets stuck?
And if so, is he aware of this?
Did he have prior knowledge of his friend's impending death?

[Rocshi]

The man in the elevator is not about to die.
He did not know his friend would die, but you're getting closer.

[BorkBot]

Was there a power outage?
Was the man's friend on life support?

[Rocshi]

Was there a power outage?
Was the man's friend on life support?

...
shenanigans are about.

yes and yes.

im just going to assume correct now.

[BorkBot]

My guess is that his friend is in the hospital, on life support. He himself was there too, and the power went out, causing the elevator to get stuck and his friend to die.

[Rocshi]

Puzzle #6 (Easy):

Two siblings are born to the same mother on the same hour on the same day, in the same room, but they are not twins.
How?

inb4onepostanswer

[Rocshi]

My guess is that his friend is in the hospital, on life support. He himself was there too, and the power went out, causing the elevator to get stuck and his friend to die.

Only the friend. The man was going to visit, and then the power outage occured, and he lost life support.
The man had no involvement with the death.

[BorkBot]

That's all I meant to say; the man himself was also in the hospital, but inside an elevator :)

[CmG]

makes no sense they have extra generators for outages in every fucking hospital

[CmG]

are they< humans the siblings?

[BorkBot]

Their da was someone else.

[CmG]

the mother likes laying eggs :D

[BorkBot]

lol @ CmG :p

The mom just did two different guys is my guess.

[Dust]

Triplets

[BorkBot]

Haha, good one Dust. It never said there weren't more than 2 :p

[Dust]

Think laterally. I pwn at these. Give me another one. :D

[Dust]

[Dust]

Yes I am taking over this thread

[CmG]

[CmG]

[BorkBot]

Did the man suffer from amnesia or split personality syndrome?
Is his wife the stranger?

[Dust]

did he have the stranger already in his car b4 the break?
no


is the stranger black?
sort of irrelevant though

[Dust]

Did the man suffer from amnesia or split personality syndrome?
Is his wife the stranger?
no
no

[BorkBot]

Are all the cars you mention one and the same car?

[Rocshi]
