Darth Eggplant Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 LTP latteral thinking puzzles they are word jigsaw puzzles which must be solved with out seeing all the pieces up front. the game: a puzzle is presented the game is questions only. answers are yes and no only. all other help comes from your immagination and vague hints provided by other players. each player must ask at least one question before blurting out an answer. game ends when the correct answer is given. LTP ONE: a man lives on the 17th floor of his apartment building. each day he leaves his apartment goes to the elevator and rides it down to the lobby. every night he returns home enters the lobby goes to the elevator and takes it to the 3rd floor and then walks up 14 flights of stairs to his apartment.

Tall Guy Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 is it because the man is a dwarf and he cant reach the elevator button to get back up to his apartment? but when going down he can because the ground floor button is low down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxbx Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Although said fellow loves excercise, his true calling is excorcism. So draining is this hobby, though, that in the mornings the stairs are his bitterly hated enemy. Yet then, as night approaches and this fellow feels himself fully reinstated, they become his glad friend and work-out companion. C'mon, Eggplant. I recite that test of logic every night before I say snooze. Give us a tough one and fastly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Eggplant Posted July 10, 2002 Author Share Posted July 10, 2002 Tall Guy got LTP ONE in one go! Either he has heard that one before or he is bloody brilliant! (if so he will find playing MYST a snap with those lateral skills) LTP TWO: a man walks into a restaurant the waiter seats him at a table the man asks what the day's special is? the waiter replies seagull sandwiches the man orders one having had them before the waiter brings the man the sandwich the man takes one bite and starts crying the man leaves the restaurant and never goes there again and never has another seagull sandwich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Eggplant Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 gumdrops and gummy bears *no I did not, Not get it* Gendo implied you should be barefoot and eating P&J sandwiches in the kitchen, rather than messing with people's noodles or else he was just playing devil's advocate or being a poo relocator.

Sanspoof Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 I have a LTP!!! SANSPOOF'S POCKET SIZE-LTPs NUMBER 1: A man on a mission is feeling very hot. His fellow peers are also very hot, so why aren't they opening the windows? The man decides to open the windows to cool himself off. He does this... and dies. How did this man die, and why wasn't he allowed to open the window? Try figuring that one out! Actually, the answer's quite simple... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanspoof Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 Hey, while I'm here, try figuring out another... SANSPOOF'S POCKET-SIZE LTPs NUMBER 2: A washerwoman washes the clothes of everyone in her village every week. One day, her white sheet goes missing and cannot be found later. The woman panicks. A week of searching later, the woman went out to wash more clothes and suddenly spotted her white sheet float out of the top of a tree. It then flies into the clouds and later drops down onto the roundabout on the road. What happened to the white sheet? The answer is there. Just tink logically...

Sanspoof Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 Nope, but that could be another answer. I should add something... Later, they find the man's corpse and the other crew members. They take him away and report him as a dead pirate from years ago, even though they know he's definitely not, due to the certain vehicle he was in. That's made it easier!

Darth Eggplant Posted July 19, 2002 Author Share Posted July 19, 2002 LTP's should be done in one go and try not helping the audience ie saying why was he not allowed to open the window? just state he was hot opened the window and died but yes LTP's are fun.

Sanspoof Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 Well done, Gendo. Though that was easy. Now see if anyone can figure out my other one. If no one gets it by the 29th, I'll tell you the answer on the 30th. It's rather complicated, but what the hey? While you're figuring that one out, try this one: SANSPOOF'S POCKET-SIZE LTPs NUMBER 3: Once there was a man who was sent to jail. He was in for murder and sentanced for 10 years. However, a day after he got to prison they found him dead on the floor of his cell. The cell had no windows or any way anyone could get in. All that was in the cell was a puddle of water and the man's flask. How did he die? Give it some thought. You might be thoroughly surprised!
