Guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Finally we have internet after moving to france and here is a puzzle that my dad thought of. I hope you find it at least a little funny. A man is found dead,in a pool of water,with a rope around his neck,with a bullet through his brain and his wrists slit. In his hand is a smoking gun with his finger prints on it, how did he die? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 the man is standing on a block of ice with a rope around his neck, the block of ice melts an d results in his death. Does not explain his bullet wound or wrist split Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 He could be dead already from some other reason. The rest of the information we are given would take some explaining, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 He must have died by tieing a rope round his neck standing on a big big block of ice. Thats why he was found dead with rope in his neck and in a pool of water. If he had died by the other means, he should have been surrounded by a pool of blood not by water!

0 Guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 If you use the "block of ice" scenerio, wouldn't he still be hanging, instead of laying in a pool of water? IT sounds like he was shot--by himself--slit his wrists, drowned and strangled. How about multiple attempts at suicide? That's my guess.

IT sounds like he was shot--by himself--slit his wrists, drowned and strangled. How about multiple attempts at suicide? That's my guess. Is it likely that the man first slit his wrists usng a piece of ice, and then shoot himself while standing on a big piece of ice with the robe tied on his neck? When he died, all ice had melted...

0 Guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) Yes he would be . Excellent point Joey! Edited October 11, 2009 by Athena1953 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 How can the gun be smoking if the man is in a pool of water? - or is the pool just a puddle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Maybe..... He was dying a slow death from poison, and all the others were attempts to end his agony. It was the bullet to the brain that killed him,and the water was from a glass he'd been drinking from ??????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 I would guess that he died in his sleep of natural causes. That reminds me -- I read on a sign the other day, “ I want to go quietly in my sleep, just like my grandfather did, and not screaming and kicking like his passengers."

0 roolstar Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 sometime before all this happenend to him... Should've found a pool of blood instead of water => Not from bullet nor from wrists... Smoking gun => the person who found him shot him... In my opinion, your DAD did it!

0 Guest Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Well they were all good guesses but they were all wrong. Here's the REAL awnser. He was standing on a block of ice with the noose around his neck,telling his friend on the phone about this fish he had caught and how it was THIS big, when some one snuck up behind him and shot him with a completly different gun. Now was that funny? I can't stop laughing when I think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Links1219955 I am not satisfied with your answer. You lack the explanation for, cut wrist, rope around the neck, and smoking gun in the hand. And still you claim your answer to be the correct one. Simply because the questioner is telling the answer,the answer can't be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 The man is depressed, and slits his wrists. Still depressed, he decides to kill himself, and ties a rope around his neck and stands on a block of ice. After a minute, he decides the ice isn't melting fast enough and shoots himself, still on the block of ice with the rope around his neck. The ice then melts and there you have it. Maybe?

0 Guest Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) You haven't seen many classic riddles have you? A man is found dead in a telephone box with his wrists slit how did he die? He was on the phone telling his friend about the fish he had caught and how it was THIS | | big. (he put his hands out for emphasis and by mistake through the glass windows as well. My dad thought of the question so I dont know why he put in the gun. Have you heard of the guy hanging from the high rafters in a barn riddle? He stood on a block of ice to get up there and died from suffocation as the ice melted.

I hope you find it at least a little funny. A man is found dead,in a pool of water,with a rope around his neck,with a bullet through his brain and his wrists slit. In his hand is a smoking gun with his finger prints on it, how did he die? He tried to hang himself, by using a block of ice as a stool Imptient, he slit his wrists, while doing so he cut the rope In dispair he used the gun. The actual cause of death..

0 Guest Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Best...Answer...Ever...I am awed by the sheer brillaince of that answer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 But he would have to be dead before he was shot or had his wrists slit, as there is no blood around him. He mustve been held against his will, noose around his neck strung to the rafters, until the ice block melted, causing death by asphyxiation. Then for the captor to cover his tracks he made it look like botched suicide, shooting him through the head, which may have severed the rope, and finally slitting his wrists. Thus explaining the lack of blood. Dead men don't bleed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) Random thought occured to me after reading the ice part Skydiving went wrong - rope was from the parachute which malfunctioned. Wrists were slit on the way down by sharp tree branches. He got stuck and was hung by the neck. {don't ask me why he isnt dead} The smoking gun was actually a flare gun he was trying to use for help because he's hydrophobic. He was shot by mermaids in the water when he pissed his pants and shat himself just over the water... And we all know that mermaids don't like that. This was a completely serious attempt Edited December 2, 2009 by KingOfNoodles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
