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

pHacon wins. Because the car who was their last lost.

A black man dressed all in black, wearing a black mask, stands at a crossroads in a totally black-painted town. All of the streetlights in town are broken. There is no moon. A black-painted car without headlights drives straight toward him, but turns in time and doesn't hit him.

haha ironman thats wrong they didn't mention anything about it being night.

It was day time and he could see him clearly because of the sun. There was no moon which means it isn't night

There is no moon because it's daytime.
Although I see the moon right now and it's noon, is that the answer?

yeah. I need harder ones.

Yeah, it was day.

A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

She took a picture of him, put the photo in water to develop, and hanged the picture on the the wall..

A man is alone on an island without food or water, but he is not scared.

Um, because he has a boat right beside him?
Or a cell phone.
Or the island is SO close to land that the man can just swim there.
Or its the type of island you find in a kitchen.
