It is easy and might be fun, if you work together (and people who already know the answer don’t spoil it for the others Sticking out tongue ).

I tell a little story and you have to find out what happened by asking questions that can be answered with yes or no.

The scenario: A man lies dead in the snow. He is almost naked and holds a burned match in his hand. What happened?

Was the man trying to make a fire using the match and his clothes...?

Was he completely alone in that snowy region right before he died?

maleJohsky | 12 April 2008 - 1:22pm

Let me give a short advice. Do not make too many assumptions in your questions i.e. do not include too many parameters. If you do so a simple “Yes” or “No” answer might be misleading.

Strictly, the answer is “no”

Lets recall, he did not set anything on fire, was not murdered or killed by animals and did not freeze to death but he died there in the snow. Until shortly before he died he was with a couple of people....

Laughing Ladies...this is a game, not uncle Johsky´s storytelling-hour!

To answer your question Rika: No, he did not necessarily know them very well, most of them probably not.

To help out a little bit: so far nobody has investigated a lot. How does it look where the guy is lying? Where are the people that were with him until shortly before he died. Where did they come from? Where did they go to? You can find things like that out with yes/no questions, just have to make them more general.

I promise I will tell (man….you are going to hate me, I should have taken the easy one to begin with Very happy)..lets just play a little more …
