Thread: Lateral Thinking Puzzle #1

Ok, the following is a lateral thinking puzzle of sorts - winner gets to choose one of the following invites:

Waffles
Bibliotik
Asiatorrent
Goem

** Please note that I will still need a speedtest and good ratio proofs before giving out the invite.

So, here is the *updateds* puzzle:

The robbers were a 45min ride away from completing their plan.



Rules/Objective:

- Solve the puzzle
- Only Yes/No questions are allowed
- No excessive posting (we still want this to abide by the forum rules, so no posting just for the sake of posting)
- Keep everything in the thread, do not PM me with questions - everyone should be able to see the questions/answers

In the end whoever solves the riddle correctly first gets the invite, but I may give out more if people who don't guess the answer contribute significantly (i.e. asking important questions)

It's the answer, this riddle has none. If I think there is an actual answer I'll never correctly answer this, if I admit I can find no answer, then I've found the answer.

Google ftw.

Yes IVIonster that is correct.
Unfortunately you have failed to grasp the concept of the competition - searching on Google for the answer hardly counts as solving the riddle ...

way to ruin the fun

I know he failed on the fairplay, but yet he confessed where he got the answer. I think what we need is new riddles, riddles made by the user, of course that makes sense.

Indeed.

I will try to think of one, or at least try to dig deep enough into the internet for a riddle that won't be easy to find the answer for.

OK, here is the new puzzle:

The robbers were a 45min ride away from completing their plan.

Please try to actually solve this one ....

Were they going home?

- Are they currently traveling across a distance?

- Are they engaged in an active task, that currently involves physical work? (i.e. planting a bomb, etc)

- Are they engaged in a passive task (i.e. waiting for a train, waiting for a timer, etc)

1. No (I'm assuming you are asking if they are fleeing the country/state/etc.)
2. No (They are currently in some sort of moving vehicle)
3. Yes (They are in a moving vehicle)
