Next one :

Not that far away from Madrid, there is a large wooden barn. The barn is completely empty except for a dead man hanging from the middle of the central rafter. The rope around his neck is ten feet long and his feet are three feet off the ground. The nearest wall is 20 feet away from the man. It is not possible to climb up the walls or along the rafters. The man hanged himself. How did he do it?

Stood on the back of an animal and kicked it in the ass, then he hung himself. :D

While people are thinking about that one, here is another:

What is it?
The man who sold it did not want it.
The man who bought it did not need it.
The man who used it did not know it.

While in a balloon floating stationary off the coast of france, I dropped two wine bottles over the side. If one was empty and the other full, which hit the ground first?

Re: Lateral thinking
 

You did jumping out to save them.

Re: Lateral thinking
 

Neither... You are over water.

Re: Lateral thinking
 

yeah but if he was over land they would hit at the same time...


whats the answer to the match in the field?

Re: Lateral thinking
 

but he wasn't over land so trying to solve it that was was irrelevant.

I'm not giving the answer to the match one yet.

Re: Lateral thinking
 

If you put a small coin into a an empty wine bottle and replace the cork, how would you get the coin out of the bottle without taking out the cork or breaking the bottle?

Re: Lateral thinking
 

The empty one would float and the other would not hit because it would reach a point in which it would not reach the ground.

Re: Lateral thinking
 

Push the cork in the bottle and shake the coin out.

Re: Lateral thinking
 

Huh? Put the weed down man.

Re: Lateral thinking
 

He and a number of other passengers were making a balloon trip in a desperate attempt to flee a country. The balloon had to lose weight to stop it from crashing. He drew the short match and had to jump.

Re: Lateral thinking

Re: Lateral thinking
 

I have one..

Your task is to join all nine dots using only four (or less) straight lines, without lifting your pencil from the paper and without retracing the lines.
