Unlikely scenarios

[gazzawazza]

Does anyone know any of those 'Scenario' type questions where you're given a scene and you have to ask questions (which can only be answered yes or no) to try and deduce the events leading up to it. You know the sort of thing... 'Man in wellies found slumped in 'phone box... What happened?

[Cactus]

Is that the one where he thrust his arms through the glass on each side of him, trying to tell his mate how big the fish he'd just caught was - then bled to death? That's the only one of those that i know!

[gazzawazza]

That's the one Cactus... Some more that you may have heard but forgotten... Man found hanging in a locked room, no furniture inside, pool of liquid beneath him, van parked outside... Man driving down one of those lonely roads in the US, comes across a man with a pack on his back covered in blood and dead from multiple injuries... Anymore???

The one I heard was a cowboy goes into the saloon and asks for a glass of water, the barman pulls out a gun, fires it then says "is that OK?". The cowboy, says "Yes" then leaves. It is because he has hiccups.

[gazzawazza]

Hey, Tartanwizard, if you don't play properly I'm taking my ball home...!

[j2buttonsw]

I have another and won't spoil it with the answer: A chap lives on the 25th storey of a block of flats and subsequently always takes the lift. However, ascending he always gets out on the 8th floor and walks the rest of the way, whereas descending he uses the lift all the way down. BTW he is not a mentalist.

I know the answer to your last one j2buttonsw!!!! What about the one with the man found dead in a field. He was wearing tights, and there was a piece of rock beside him. Is that easy or what?! And then there's the one about Romeo and Juliet being found dead on the floor, no weapons or evidence of a fight, no wounds. Just a wet patch and some broken glass nearby. BTW gazzawazza, are you going to come back to us for the answers eventually? :-)

[gazzawazza]

erm... I don't know flirty... I hadn't thought about that...! Actually, up to now, I know all of these apart fron the man in tights/piece of rock one but might work that one out yet... I'll let you know...

[Allen Crisp]

One I've heard concerns the man who lives on the 30th floor of an apartment block. He leaves for work as usual one day and steps into the lift. Before he reaches the ground he knows his wife is dead (and he didn't kill her).

[sddsddean]

I know the answer to that one Allen. How about the bloke who sees someone pushing his car from one hotel to another and knows he is penniless?

[gazzawazza]

flrty, I've worked out the rocks/tights one, andI've got the answer to the hotels one too, sddsddean!

[flirty41]

OK gazzawazza! I believe you, but can we have the answers then, 'cos there's some there I don't know!!! :-)

[FTVS]

I know the answer to your two Gazzawazzer but will let you reveal - Try this one: two trekkers walking in The Alps come across two bodies frozen in a glacier. One looks to the other and says "well I never there really WAS an Adam and Eve"

[gazzawazza]

Ok flirty, here we go, the man found hanging inside a locked room is the one most people have heard... He stood on a block of ice he got from the refrigerated van outside... and the guy found dead with a pack on his back had suffered from an unopened parachute... Don't you just want to kick yourself when you hear the answers???!!! Up to now there's only two I haven't sussed but I really should leave the posees to reveal the answers (as FTVS did with mine). If you're desperate to know just say and I'll let you know the ones I've worked out.

[flirty41]

Give it a couple more days to see if the answers appear! If not, you can put us all out of our misery!

[gazzawazza]

Okey-dokey.

[gazzawazza]

Hey, Flirty, it's the 3rd of January and no-ones posted answers so I'll give you all I've got so far...

Starting with j2buttonsw's man who always walks from the 8th floor upwards... He's vertically challenged and can't reach the buttons above the 8th floor.

Romeo and Juliet are goldfish whose bowl has been knocked off the shelf by someone or something, possibly a cat?

The man in tights is a robber who's been shot dead by his partner or some pursuer and the rock must be a diamond.

The man pushing his car from one hotel to another is losing at monopoly.

Adam and Eve, did they not have any belly-buttons?

The man's dead wife/30th floor/lift one has still got me at the moment! Is she in the lift with him and the lift is plummetting to the floor?

[flirty41]

Oh - they're all so simple!! I don't know the last one either (come back allen crisp!), but my version of the man in tights/rock scenario is that it's Superman and he's been killed by a lump of Kryptonite!

[j2buttonsw]

What if the wife was in the lift which had crashed to the ground and he had accidently walked into the lift shaft?

[j2buttonsw]

Or as yer man says, she is with him in a plummetting lift and has died of shock.
