romeo and julit

[Guest]

romeo and juliet were found dead on the floor. there was water and glass on the floor the only things in the room are a bookshelf and a bed. the house is on a remote island and their is a train track near by. what was the cause of romeo and juliet's death?

romeo and juliet are fish. the movement of the train shook the bowl and it fell

[Guest]

they are fish in a fishbowl that was knocked over by the made

[unreality]

this is an old one, except in the old one its Anthony and Cleopatra, found dead in a temple in Egypt. "There is a broken bowl nearby, but no flesh wounds on their bodies" is part of it i think. i love this riddle.

[TwoaDay]

A train went by, the rumbling knocked over the glass, which scared them, they bumped into the cabinet which fell over and killed the both

I wonder what the real answer is...

O that makes more sense but i was close

[Guest]

they are fish in a fishbowl...when the train passed by it knocked over the bowl. romeo and juliet drowned in air

[Guest]

Tsunami

So what kind of remote island has a train track on it. Doesn't sound like the train people knew it was so remote.

[Guest]

romeo and juliet r fish my teacher did this at my class b4

[Guest]

there was a volcano eruption nearby which knocked over the bowl which had some water for them to drink and somehow didn't burn down the house but killed romeo and juliet in way that is physically impossible so that there was no evidence

yeah i know that made no sense

but seriously they were fish in a fishbowl, the train shook the bowl and knocked it over

Well putting aside the oddity of a train track on a remote island. I'd have to say that the bi-monthly train passed by and had an open car full of large metal pipes. Some of the pipes got dislodged, but didn't fall from the train. They just poked out just enough to smash through the only nearby house. Juliet was sipping a glass of water and Romeo was reading a book on the bed nearby when the pipes came crashing through the wall and killed them both. Incidentally, in the neighboring room, their fish were knocked over by the crash and died on the floor

My guess would have been dehydration. If there were real people (not fish) then they could have been arguing over who gets to drink the last of the water, the glass was dropped in the struggle, broke and left them both with no pure water to drink resulting in dehydration.

[Guest]

a ballon crash in the desert. it was tragic

[Guest]

Heard it, or at least a version. They are fish, which were in a bowl (the glass and water on the floor) and they got knocked over when the train rumbled past, shaking the ground and knocking them off the shelf and breaking the bowl.

[Guest]

I'll take the train track to be from an electric train in the house, broken glass, water...sounds like electrocution to me.

[Guest]

really good one. i was unable to answer !

[Guest]

I think it was natural causes xx

[Guest]

I think it was natural causes xx

could be true if an earth tremor, most likely it's man made - we'll have to check the local met office.

[Guest]

hehe no i mean like they both just happened to die at the same time from old age or sumthin, but yeh we shud check the met office just to be sure xx

I don't think this gives enough information to solve. If I hadn't seen this before, I would've said that "Fumes from the train got into the water and then Romeo and Juliet drank it and died." Every other instance of this problem states that there are no visible wounds on the body, and the "glass on the floor" in this one is confusing... 2 fish could not live in a single glass. It would need to be a glass bowl.... Nice problem though. Good old lateral thinking.

[Guest]

they decided to drink some water they got out of the ocean. they both drank it taking turns and died from poisoning

the train derailed and went straight through the house, running over poor Romeo and Juliet. eish! talk about a traggic love story...

oh i almost forgot... the train knocked a glass onto the floor too

[Guest]

OR romeo and juliet could have put poison in a glass filled with ice and dropped dead after drinkign every last drop therefore the ice melted leaving only the broken glass and water (yes i know that there would ultimately be traces of poison but humor me already!!)

[Guest]

they are fish. the rumbling from the train knocked the fish tank over causing poor romeo and juliet to die.

a bit sad.
