A man was found dead in the middle of a field with nothing but an unopened parcel a few feet away from him. There are no signs of murder. What happened and how did he get there?

Muhahahaha...
Fwahahahaha...
Fufufufufufuuu

Let's see how long it takes to solve this one...

Sorry for my ignorance, but what's a parcel?

I believe the answer would be He was sky diving and his parachute didn't open. (If a parcel is a bag?)

How can the man get across the body of shark infested water to the treasure? The planks aren't long enough to just go across. This one involves lateral thinking.

If the water&#39;s not deep enough I guess he could pole-jump, or use them as stilts.

Don&#39;t know if they&#39;re big enough to float with him on top, otherwise he could paddle over

Sticking one on a corner of the pool, and the other on that one over to the treasure would do too. :)

You could jump it 12 ft is only about 3.6 metres, if you took a decent run up that&#39;s pretty easy...

Indeed? but we tried everything else, might as well defy the laws of physics while we&#39;re at it.

or swim over, if it&#39;s the non-man-eating type of shark.

Or just go and get a boat, or a chopper. :lol:

@withcheese, my math was off, thought 1 foot equaled one third of a metre exactly. :unsure:

Distance corner to corner is (12^2 + 12^2)^0.5 = (144+144)^0.5 = 288^0.5 = 16.97 (Pythagoras theorem).

The original puzzle had a distance of 7.25 metres from side to island, which would work with the "T" solution (assuming planks are 7 metres long) and can&#39;t be jumped.

Edit: it might have been 9.25 and 9 metres, longer than the world record&#33;

Why is everyone stating such cynical and unopen minded answers?
Since when in a simple riddle do you calculate the distance between the land and island, use pythagoras and measure the lenght of a jump? I only put the measurements there to prove that the planks weren&#39;t long enough.

Stupid bunch of cynics.

It is lateral thinking though.
Lateral thinking means - looking at the situation from a different perspective. Thats what my bridge puzzle involves.
Most people said use the planks as stilts or fly across with a helicopter - that isn&#39;t thinking laterally, that&#39;s just coming up with some ridiculous solution and hoping for the best.
I may not have explained the riddle as much as I could have (I learnt it a few years ago), but I certainly did not screw it up.

12-03-2003, 05:53 PM
You did screw it up. In that case, the length of the planks matter. That is the whole point of the riddle. If the planks are too short to do the diagonal thing then it&#39;s not the correct answer. You still can&#39;t reach them across.

In the elephant case the size of the elephant doesn&#39;t matter. If it did, the answer would have to be something like put it in the blender first.

You say don&#39;t be cynical, but you don&#39;t have a sense of humour. <_<

If your solution wasn&#39;t even possible, those answers were better.

We or rather I don&#39;t post that type of stuff to be serious but sometimes the answer can be as silly as that, besides between me and Lamsey every possible possibility was explored, that&#39;s not being narrow-minded. :)

...Most people said use the planks as stilts or fly across with a helicopter - that isn&#39;t thinking laterally, that&#39;s just coming up with some ridiculous solution and hoping for the best...
You say don&#39;t be cynical, but you don&#39;t have a sense of humour. <_<

If your solution wasn&#39;t even possible, those answers were better.
:)

We or rather I don&#39;t post that type of stuff to be serious but sometimes the answer can be as silly as that, besides between me and Lamsey every possible possibility was explored, that&#39;s not being narrow-minded. :) [/b][/quote]
I do have a sense of humour, quite a good one as a matter of fact, but alas, I have heard those type of answers soooooo many times that they have become totally unfunny.

Actually, I only did this post for a laugh. I saw Riddler&#39;s and thought that I woulld try and mock him with crap riddles. It&#39;s all about deception and misdirection.

I don&#39;t know which one to say first - That it was bleeding obvious or that you did that with flying colours :huh: <_<

Truth be told, I (and I think quite a few) found this topic unnecessary from the start - Mods, can we get the big lock finish here? :D

And next time - Try to challenge Riddler by solving his riddles first, not by creating a sub-standard clone of a critical part of the Lounge that has gone over (last time I checked), six at-least-100-posts topics ;)

There was too much of Riddler&#39;s post to read.

I did say in the title that the post was for sompletons.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what&#39;s a parcel?

I believe the answer would be He was sky diving and his parachute didn&#39;t open. (If a parcel is a bag?)
:blink: yeah. hehe. really interesting - parcel sound for me like an area - a part of a wheat field? right?

your second question: Are you sure I would not find this Indian woman? I mean there are many people on earth, so it is quite possible a modern Indian woman...

Very well then, I&#39;ll choose to believe that. :)

Try going into Riddler&#39;s thread some time though, but leave the temper outside, please :P

Why is everyone stating such cynical and unopen minded answers?
Since when in a simple riddle do you calculate the distance between the land and island, use pythagoras and measure the lenght of a jump? I only put the measurements there to prove that the planks weren&#39;t long enough.

Stupid bunch of cynics.
You come in here and calling us "sompletons" <--- (incorrectly spelt) and ask easy questions.
They get answered correctly until you ask one wrongly.
You gloat about being better than Riddler after a few questions (you think your better).

All those and more reasons why people are being cynical.

You then ask why people are cynical?

Just who is the real simpleton?
