After reading the hardest riddle in the world I thought of this very good one. Only yes/no questions can be asked. Heres the riddle and unlike the hardest riddle in the world this one actually makes sence.

Before going to bed, a man shuts off all the lights. Waking up in the morning, the man picks up a newspaper and, upon reading the headline, becomes so distraught that he kills himself. Why

There are so many different variations to this riddle. it has to do with his wife's on life support and the lights won't turn, so he knows his wife's dead, so he kills himself.

Oh, then maybe I don't know the answer. Let me ask a question.

Is he distraught because he is responsible for something?

Does it have something to do with how he can read the headline without having to turn on the lights?

I meant boats, well this riddle isn't very hard, the other one was impossible to guess if you knew the answer.

This riddle isn't hard if you know what the answer is where as the other one was just so ridiculous and far fetched.
