Just 1 brick?
2 things.
- weigh something down (ie paperweight)
- hit things with it (ie open coconuts)

Several bricks?
3 more things.
- build structures (ie a house)
- set them up like dominos
- heat them, transfer them into a small, fairly water-tight area, throw them into a bucket of water, creating a sort of sauna

Anything else I think of just seems to be a variation on one of those.

what really happened!

the woman killed her sister because her sister was slowly dying from an incurable cancer. Betwixt hacking coughs of pain, the sister asked the woman to pull the plug on her, releaving her of the pain and sending her on to the sweet afterlife. Ridden with sympathy and compasion, the woman fulfilled her sister's request and killed her. Doctors quickly caught on and called the authorities.

In a bizarre coincidence, the man at the funeral worked for the homicide unit of the local police department. He promptly "interrogated" her. during her court hearing, she gave birth to a 7lb, 6oz baby boy

another lateral thinking question

what was the name of the president of the united states in 1972?

Er, Nixon? That's what Jeeves says, anyway.

actually his name was George W. Bush... too easy

jooly · Post by **jooly** » 18-03-2005 17:56

Hmmm. It all depends.

acobra · Post by **acobra** » 18-03-2005 18:52

well - based on the fact that he said it was a lateral thinking puzzle... its gotta be George W.

But if he left that part out I could agree.. lol

ive got another easy one,
Anthony and Cleopatra are lying dead on the floor of a villa in Egypt. Nearby is a broken bowl. There is no mark on either of their bodies and they were not poisoned. How did they die?

Together being on the floor of a villa in Egypt

About the funeral riddle....

i've heard this one before... and this version is *slightly* diferent from the one that i've heard...

the diference is a detail at the begining: the funeral was for the woman's mother

the rest remains the same....

someone said the right answer above.... you just have to think literally...

btw, the guy who told me this said that most serial killers solve this riddle

She just had her own differences with her sister.I could say she hated her,didnt like her.I think the man at the funeral had nothing to do with the murder and he was just someone that happened to be there.
Who knows maybe now they have it going on if she got out jail,if she ever went!:lol:

I reckon it was the man who killed her sister but she was so in love with him that she confessed to doing it.

In the funeral he had to leave because it was raining and he had some important documents (porn) in his pocket that he didnt want to get wet.

He talked to her for a bit just to get the details of where her sister lives cuz she conned him out of several million taco`s a year before and he was REALLY mad at her so he wanted to kill her.

A week later the woman catches the man killing her sister and they both have intercourse in her sisters bed not far from the body. Then the woman confesses to the murder.

You know how I know all this.............because......it was Brian Blessed and I heard him whispering it to a friend of his and you know that he can`t say anything quiet to save his life.

Or you could go for the obvious answer:

She killed her sister because she was the one who pushed her car to the train station and ended up bankrupt because her sister owned all of the damn stations in the game so she got the board jammed deep into her eye.

And after all of that if you think im crazy..... i thank you because i am
