Further nonsense

 

Further nonsense

1: Detective Smith finds Romeo and Juliet dead on the kitchen floor, surrounded by broken glass. There were no signs of a break-in. What killed them?

2: Five men were travelling along a lane when it began to rain. Four of the men got wet but the fifth didn’t, though he had no umbrella, hat or raincoat. How could that be?

3: A woman watched her husband plunge to his death. Later she found him working in the garden. How was that possible?

4: A carrot, a woollen scarf and five buttons were found on the ground in a field. If no-one put them there, how did they get there?

5: A man stopped his car outside a hotel and immediately realized he was bankrupt. How did he know?       

6: A carton containing six eggs is on the table. Six people take one egg each. How is it that one egg is left in the carton?

 

Answers tomorrow.

  2. My solving skills have obviously deserted me, since I have been stumped on all of them. I will await the morrow.

  4. I think each one of these would be a good subject for a mystery novel. I'm sure I don't have an answer for any of them, lol.
