Logic problems

[RichZ]

A similar thread to Rae's thread, but different enough to start a new one.

Logic problems on this one please.
(ps if you number theproblems it might be easier when replying to them)

OK first one:

1) A man with a backpack on is lying dead in a field in the middle of no-where. How come?

2) A man is moving his car down a street. He turns the corner and stops outside a hotel, and instantlly he knows he's bankrupt. How come?

and this one is on the insistance of my house mate:

3) Two men are walking through the desert and come across a bar (as you do). They order two G&Ts one drinks it quickly, the other drinks it slowly and dies. Why?

geeze richard...

1. There are a group (say three) of men in a hot air balloon and they are losing height, so they throw out everything, except parachutes and themselves. they are still losing height so they draw straws as to who has to get out, his parachute has failed

2. playing monolpoly

3. not sure...

Man is hanging from a tree in the middle of the desert by his neck. His truck is about 5 metres away from his feet so there is no way he could have stood on that to get up to the noose. There is no other way visable of getting to the noose. The man definately commited suicide because he left a note and a will. How did he do it.

They were dying from malaria?

[Blessed Benediction]

why did he bother with an ice block? if i were going to do that i'd just climb the fucking tree put the noose round my neck tie it to a branch & then let myself fall.

[hr]watches should have a smiley face on them as it's always time to be happy

This one's pretty easy.

There was a forest fire and once it was out, they were scanning the forest for damages. The only casualty was a man in the middle of the forest in full scuba gear. Why?

I know I know! He was scuba diving in near by lake and was picked up by plane which was collecting water to put on fire, then he was dropped from plane into forest!

Like in Magnolia.

Good urban legend that one (the scuba one).

6) A woman goes into a hardware store to buy something for her house. When asked the price, the clerk replies, "the price of one is twelve pence, the price of forty-four is twenty-four pence, and the price a hundred and forty-four is thirty-six pence. What does the woman want to buy?

Pens that are on two for one offer? And why COULDN'T they be dying of malaria? that makes sense too!

In America they think 100 years is old and in Britain they think 100 miles is far.

Oops. Just checked my math on that one. Never mind....

romeo and juliet are laying on the floor, next to a small table, surrounded by glass, dead. they're in a locked room, laying in a pool of water. a small window in the room is open, and a storm is blowing outside. no-one's entered or left the room. how did the pair die?

Block of Ice?

[S.P.I.G]

Romeo and Juliet are fish and there bowl was knocked over by the wind/storm

[S.P.I.G]

RichZ - the ice cubes are poisoned and the person who drinks his quickly survives because he doesn't give them time to melt.

Much more effective riddle if you actually tell it properly of course - as it isn't essential to have ice in a G&T.

[Thackary]

Amanda - poor Romeo and Juliet's fishbowl was blown off the table, and they suffocated when they were deprived of water.


Richz- I'd heard that a man was found dead in a freshly ploughed field with an unopened package next to him. No footprints...
