goheels681 Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 (edited) Ok. Lateral Thinking puzzles are basically riddles, but you have to use imaginative thinking. If I tell you that you answer the riddle correctly, I'll give another, and so on Let's start: There is a table where 5 people were playing poker. There are 5 seats, 5 hands of cards, but four people. All four people are dead. Where is the 5th person and why did the others die? Edited June 6, 2004 by psgamer0921 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goheels681 Posted June 6, 2004 Author Share Posted June 6, 2004 The cards just add to the story. They aren't directly related to his death. And no, I'm not the 5th person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozric Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 It's an old photo, the fitfh person is taking the picture but as time has passed all the people are now dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubanPete Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 Did one of the people have 2 hands? Ie some games certain people have two hands to choose from. Therefore there is no 5th person and all four are dead for some random reason that killed them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goheels681 Posted June 6, 2004 Author Share Posted June 6, 2004 Hmm, hadn't thought of that. But it's not the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remote Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 i have heard a similar riddle, are you sure there are not also 53 bicycles on the floor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RufioPan Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 I think i've heard this one as well... there are supposed to be 52 bicycles in the room (you're not supposed to tell people they were playing poker with cards ;) ). They were playing poker, the 5th person murdered them all to get away with the loot, if I recall correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goheels681 Posted June 6, 2004 Author Share Posted June 6, 2004 Nope. They're in something. All that is in there is a table, 5 chairs, 5 hands of cards, and 4 dead people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
