19:33:45 Feb 25th 09 - Lord Azaruc:

you tell the answer to your own puzzle within 10 minutes, that's not fun :(

and by the way, there are so many solutions then :

1st of january, 2nd of january, 3rd of january

etc. etc. etc. :p


19:35:48 Feb 25th 09 - Mr. Ryan The Archion:

Well I asked for day not date.


19:35:55 Feb 25th 09 - Mr. Zyrike:

 you should have let more people try.

A man was at the high seat of a bar, he had just had beans, another man, a dwarf, walks by lighting his cigar. 2 men walk in, one has a gun and the other a flamethrower. The dwarf passes the man at the highseat and a few seconds later, the bar catches on fire.

how did it catch on fire?


19:42:39 Feb 25th 09 - Lord Azaruc:

the man eating beans farted while the dwarf was lighting his cigar --> fire


20:01:07 Feb 25th 09 - Mr. Zyrike:

correct, I want to solve some, those were the quickest things, if only i had more time...


20:04:47 Feb 25th 09 - Mr. Magnesium:

or the dude with the flamethrower could have torched the place, after all, what are flamethrowers for ?   :D


20:14:50 Feb 25th 09 - Mr. Coops I:

20:19:19 Feb 25th 09 - Sir Shmeh:

20:28:17 Feb 25th 09 - Wolflord Karac:

20:31:08 Feb 25th 09 - Mr. Coops I:

20:35:39 Feb 25th 09 - Mr. Zyrike:

Um, you and the accountants cheated and not cheated was classified as cheating?
so whoever lost?

he is weareing a red hat, he cheated, he wants to put ever bit of fire?


20:39:40 Feb 25th 09 - Mr. Coops I:

erm... no

lol

 


20:50:20 Feb 25th 09 - Lady Santa The Blue Eyed:

The firefighter plays without using a calculator?
He doesn't wear glasses?
He's the only one hitting on the dealer?
He's got hard skin on his hands from sliding down that beam?


21:12:48 Feb 25th 09 - Flame Lord Phoeinx:

its your friend. because you havent met the others before...?


21:23:16 Feb 25th 09 - Lady Santa The Blue Eyed:

Its friendS so that can't be it.
Maybe he still smells like smoke?! He has smudges on his face! :O
You set something on fire and he's the first to start peeing on it?


21:34:37 Feb 25th 09 - Mr. Coops I:

rofl no

 

 


21:34:45 Feb 25th 09 - Mr. Coops I:

yal give up yet?


22:46:05 Feb 25th 09 - Mr. Magnesium:

 Because saying it's the "fifth person" is actually giving location?  Your sitting at a table, the first four people to your left are accountants, your friend tells you the fifth guy is a firefighter and he cheats. 

  ?    0_o


22:46:31 Feb 25th 09 - Ms. Quiettone:

He's the only one using his own money?


00:06:25 Feb 26th 09 - Lord Azaruc:

Probably right, but I doubt you could see that ;)

does it have something to do with the "4" in
"....your friends tell you to wath out 4 the 5th person who..."
or were you just too lazy to type "for" ? :p


01:59:55 Feb 26th 09 - Mr. Koss:

because your the one cheating the others are the accountants (1=you and 4=accountants)


02:03:29 Feb 26th 09 - Mr. Bill Larson:

A man walked into a bar, and sat down next to the bartender and asked for a glass of water and asked the man a favor.  The man didn't give the patron a glass of water, but instead pulled out a gun and aimed it at the patron.  The patron replied, "Thank you."

Why the hell did he say thank you!?


02:12:49 Feb 26th 09 - Sir Hirgon Tegalad:

He had the hiccups, and the bartender scared them away!


02:12:52 Feb 26th 09 - Mr. Sanoh:

02:13:26 Feb 26th 09 - Mr. Sanoh:

16:56:06 Feb 26th 09 - Mr. Gram Reaper:

@Zyrike

um would u mean like a strobe light?? thats clever but its not the answer. do u guys want a hint??


17:27:32 Feb 26th 09 - Sir Hirgon Tegalad:

The interesting thing about lateral thinking puzzles is that they're not standard riddles.  Depending upon how they are told, their answers change.  For example, based on the way Gram Reaper described the second puzzle, my answer was correct even though it wasn't the answer in his mind.  Also, Santa's answer might just be an acceptable answer to the second puzzle...

Now someone solve this one (reposted):

A man lies awake in bed.  He picks up the phone, makes a call but says nothing, and then rolls over and goes to sleep.


17:30:43 Feb 26th 09 - Ms. Quiettone:

Hitmen called Blue black etc..
Was their a food fight in the bar, and their covered in coloured food,


19:14:40 Feb 26th 09 - Mr. Gram Reaper:
