In Hot Pursuit
Situation
Situation 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.Situation
In March 1476, an inmate had escaped from his cell. It didn't take long for the guards to notice he was gone, so they sent a horse rider after him. The rider had been just a few feet from the escaped prisoner, but stopped and just stood there staring at him. The prisoner got away that night. How could it have been possible for him to escape like that, if he only had nothing but the clothes on his back?
Answer
The prisoner had jumped on a raft in raging water, and the horse could not handle the water.Hide Answer Show Answer
