The Ripped PaperSituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
Bob bought a small piece of paper. He continued his walk and approached a man, who took Bob's paper and ripped it in half. Bob thanked the man and asked for directions. The man said, "Take a left and it should be right in front of you. You'd better hurry: it's noon already." Bob followed the man's directions and walked into a very large and dark room. As he took another step, Bob heard an amplified scream. In front of him he saw a woman being attacked, but he didn't do anything about it and felt safe.
What's happening here?
HintBob wasn't expecting to see anyone be attacked. In fact, he was expecting humor.
AnswerBob was at the movie theater. The paper was his ticket, and the man was a movie theater worker. The woman being attacked and the amplified scream was a movie preview. He was going to see a comedy movie.
