A lateral thinking puzzle is a puzzle where you have to think outside the box, and think of anything possible. In this thread I will give lateral thinking puzzles and you have to answer them. Every so often I will give a hint. I will keep score of the winners, and no using google, plz don't, it spoils the fun.

To figure out the answers, there may be a certain amount of yes or no questions for each one, and 1 or 2 hints for each one.

First Puzzle:

Jack and Jill were laying on the floor dead. The only things in the room were a broken bowl, and a puddle of water.

Questions: 6
Hints: 1

Hrm... I'm thinking this ties into it being a holiday accident.

But uh... I dunno. Why would you be outside on the holidays? :P

Maybe it isn't.

Maybe you just THINK it is!!

THINK OUTSIDE THE BO-

Oh, was it New Years? If it was New Years, then she would have been at like a party or something, not home alone looking out on the balcony...

Maybe?

School catches up to you eventually.

Plus, there are barely any good topics lately.

Okay, how about since it was the holidays, there was a whole bunch of snow on the ground, and it would have cushioned her fall.

Another crappy idea.
There was another person on the balcony; some person named Holiday, thus the name the news gave for the article. This Holiday supposedly struggled with Mrs. Brown then "accidentally" pushed her off, but in reality she murdered Brown.
I got it wrong.

Okay- I have another idea.

Mrs. Brown was a very elderly lady/had broken a leg/ couldn't use her legs for some other reason/ was bedridden, therefore not allowing her to even be able to access the balcony.

OH.

Ms. Brown was pregnant. She got knocked up by Mr Jones and jumped to terminate the baby. THATS HOW HE KNOWS.

... I change my answer to just 'She was pregnant'.

Maybe the balcony of their hotel was on the ocean side, therefore she would have drowned instead of the fall having killed her.

No none of those are right.

Hint: Mrs. Brown's husband was the murderer.

Is it that Mrs. Brown didn't live on the 9th floor?
