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
A man stretches as far as he can to stop a woman from falling fifty feet, but misses.
Without a scratch on her body, the woman stands up and walks away smiling.
What were they doing? How did she survive?

Hint
* A crowd watches the accident nervously but does nothing to help.* Even though the man fails to catch her, she does not hold a grudge.
* The woman's life is never truly in any danger.
Answer
The woman is a trapeze artist who misses her catch. She survives the fall because she lands in the safety net.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer
