Shot in a BarSituation 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.
A man walked into a bar and asked for a drink. The barman had not met the man before but without saying anything he pulled out a gun and shot him dead. Why?
HintThis was not the man the barman intended to shoot.
AnswerThe barman's son had been murdered by the identical twin of the man he shot. The murderer had been acquitted because of a technicality, so the barman was taking revenge.
