Hey, I have recently been given a book with a bunch of Lateral Thinking Puzzles. If you don't know what a Lateral Thinking Puzzle is, then it is basically a riddle. A mind-bending, scrutinising one. This book has given me an idea for a competition, below I will put at least 10 or more LTPs (Lateral Thinking Puzzles). The first person to get them all correct will win one Dodge Ram 1500 Outdoorsman (it will be given via inventory manager). Ready? Thinking Caps on? 3. 2. 1. Solve!
A man stopped his car opposite a hotel and immediately knew that he was broke (bankrupt) how? [15]
There was a murder on the 7th of February 1954, the suspects are A dog, A white Male, A black Female, A Postman and a Newspaper Boy. Who did the murder? (Must say why the person did it)
Marty has 3 children, January, February. What is the name of the last child.
A woman watched her husband plunge headfirst down a deep ravine. She returned home to find him in the kitchen chopping onions. How is this possible?
A man left his apartment, that was on the top floor of an apartment building that had 100 floors, when this man got into the lift (elevator) he pressed the button to go on the first floor. When he came back into the elevator to get back up to his floor, he pressed the 76th floor and then walked up the steps. Why did he do this?
In 1987 a crane collapsed in a residential area of Liverpool at lunch-time, yet nobody heard anything. Why not? [41]
An aeroplane carrying sixty Mexican Lawyers to a convention in Rio, crashed and landed directly on the border between Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil. Under international law, where should the survivors be buried? [40]
My friend Sarah told me that her grandmother was younger than her mother. Could this be true? Must state why. [9]
A man looks out of a window. He is desperate to open it, yet he knows this would kill him. Why? [44]
In 5 years time, I will be three times as old as I was three years ago. How old am I now? [64]
If you made it! Congratulations! Please put your answers down and put them down below. I will be giving out hints but not often. I will also not be saying if anything it right or not. Good Luck!
I will give out tips if around 5 people get it wrong
1: He was at the bank.

1)He is playing monopoly. The car is his piece, it isn't his hotel and he doesn't have enough money to pay the rent.
2)The Postman.
3)Marty Jr. (Doesn't really make sense)
4)He was bungee jumping.
5)Because he is short,on regular days he can only reach the 7th floor,but on rainy days he brings his umbrella and pushes the 10th floor button with the umbrella,or is someone else is on the elevator then they will pick the 10th floor button for him.
6)Dead birds make no sound.
7)Survivors aren't buried.

oh, my god. That is nearly all the answers right. No. 3 and 4 are still wrong. (In the last sentence of 3, why didn't I add a question mark at the end?)
He is playing monopoly as he is using the old car piece and he doesn’t have enough to pay the hotel owner’s rent.
Postman
What
Husband works doing stunts in film. She was watching him in a movie.
He’s short. I’d just be copying what the guy above posted.
Birds don’t make a sound when dead.
Can’t be under international law.
Either orphaned and adopted by other younger people or her grandma remarried.
Dude’s is under da sea in the submarine

Exactly so they had time to take out the murder because they aren't working.

That implies the black woman
is working even has a fucking job? lol I don't think so friend
Also blacks make up 50% of all homicides, despite they only make up roughly 12.5% of the population, so stastically speaking it's mostly likely to be the black woman.

The riddle doesn't mention the skin colour of the postman.
