puzzles
1. There is a man who lives on the top floor of a very tall building.
Everyday he gets the elevator down to the ground floor to leave the
building to go to work.
Upon returning from work though, he can only travel half way up in the
lift and has to walk the rest of the way unless it's raining!
Why?
(This is probably the best known and most celebrated of all lateral
thinking puzzles. It is a true classic. Although there are many
possible
solutions which fit the initial conditions, only the canonical answer
is
truly satisfying. )

2. A man and his son are in a car accident. The father dies on the
scene,
but the child is rushed to the hospital. When he arrives the surgeon
says,
"I can't operate on this boy, he is my son! "
How can this be?

3. A man is wearing black. Black shoes, socks, trousers, lumper,
gloves
and balaclava. He is walking down a black street with all the street
lamps
off. A black car is coming towards him with its light off but somehow
manages to stop in time.
How did the driver see the man?
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
4. Why is it better to have round manhole covers than square ones?
This is logical rather than lateral, but it is a good puzzle that can
be
solved by lateral thinking techniques. It is supposedly used by a very
well-known software company as an interview question for prospective
employees.

5. A man went to a party and drank some of the punch. He then left
early.
Everyone else at the party who drank the punch subsequently died of
poisoning. Why did the man not die?
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
6. A man walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water.
The
barman pulls out a gun and points it at the man. The man says 'Thank
you'
and walks out.
(This puzzle claims to be the best of the genre. It is simple in its
statement, absolutely baffling and yet with a completely satisfying
solution. Most people struggle very hard to solve this one yet they
like
the answer when they hear it or have the satisfaction of figuring it
out.
