Brainteaser Thread

[.: ♥ Kiniia ♥ :.]

the man was a witness and the fish symbolised what would happen to the man?

[Philly Tanuki]

CLEARLY the fish was on his dinner plate at an Italian restaurant and he realized that it was poisoned so he shot himself so as not to give the mafia the pleasure of doing it themselves.

[Alexei]

Hm, That's probably the most plausible thing I've heard.

Two People are in a room, There is a door with a lock, but no key can be found.
There is one light, and a light pull string, two chairs, and table.
How do you get out?
(Its possible, I've gotten out with the materials involved)

You find a way to get to the lightbulb using the tables and chairs, smash the lightbulb, and use its filament as a lockpick. (Saw it on Mythbusters.)

And besides that, it's not your turn. But good one, though.

[Egan]

Smarty pants...

[Philly Tanuki]

I was gonna go for the door.  He didn't say it was locked.

  YOU GUYS REALLY CAN'T FIGURE THIS OUT?!? (Seriously?!?)

Well, then I'll just have to tell you why the man shot himself when he saw the fish. You see, he was under a death threat because he had been a witness of prosecution in a Mafia trial. In order to escape he had been given a different (new) identity and had set up a new life for himself. The sending of a dead fish is a traditiional Mafia death threat. When he recieved the dead fish in the mail, the man knew that the Mafia had figured out his location and who he was in real life and that he was going to be killed no matter what.

Is that really too hard to figure out?

Oh wait... 
Yeah, I should've chosen a different brainteaser... Like this one...

You are in a country with only truthtellers and liars, and there is no way to tell them apart by appearence. You set out on a perilous journey, because there is a fork in the road at a certain point that can lead to either a swamp filled to the brim with venomous flame-spitting FBI-owned scorpion-gators or to safety and a fresh pair of socks. When you reach this fork, however, the signpost has disappeared, but there are two men standing in its place. You know that they will only answer one question between them. What question can you ask either of the men that wil tell you which road leads to your salvation?

[Egan]

I know this one, you ask one of them this,
"If I asked the other one which gate he was guarding, what would he say?"
The liar would lie, saying other is guarding the swamp,
The guy who tells the truth would know that the liar would say he was guarding the safe road,
so which ever one you ask, their answer is the one that the are guarding.
I ish smart.

[Cifero Windtail]

Well, there weren't any gates... but you still got it right! So now it's your turn to sumbit a brainteaser!

[Egan]

Alright,
Never Once did a man see like the man stan, he was
Gonna leave his home,
Give up his life, but then someone came along,
You, came along, and made him feel like a million dollars.
Up and Up, when his emotions
Never coming down,
Gonna stay like this forever,
Let him down, "Never!" He would of said to that,
You Helped him there.
Down Down he went, went you left him
Never coming back again,
Gonna see him?
Turn around, dont see him.
Around, Around.
And Around.
Hurt, he hurt because of someone.
You.
