So do I - neigh neigh. This is really a lateral thinking problem (these come from the work of Edward de Bono). I use them a lot in the classroom. Students can ask you all the yes/no questions they want till they get the answers. They're excellent for practising simple past and past continuous.

For example, for the situation :

1. A man was lying dead in a field with a bag beside him. How did he die?

Students might ask : Did he walk into the field ? (No) Was he carrying the bag when he came into the field? (Yes) etc. Another one is :

2. A man walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. the barman pulled out a gun and pointed it at him. The man said "Thank you" and left. Why?

I'll publish the answers later too, but till then - you can each ask up to five questions for each situation to get clues and I'll give you the answers. Only Yes/No questions, mind!
