Punch Ladle
Another Lateral Thinking Puzzle!?
THE DEADLY PARTY
A man went to a party and drank some of the punch. He then left early. Everyone else at the party who drank the punch subsequently died of poisoning. Why did the man not die?
Clues…
Q. Did the man poison the other people?
A. No
Q. Did anybody add anything to the punch after he left?
A. No
Q. Was there something wrong with the glasses, ladle, or Punch Bowl itself?
A. No
Q. Were all the people physically normal?
A. Yes
Q. Was there a relationship between the people, or between them and the man that left early, that matters here?
A. No
Q. Was there something special about him which made him immune to the poison?
A. No. It could have been anyone, provided they left early.
GOOD LUCK!
You people are smarter than I thought!
It was actually the ice cubes in the punch that were poison and because he had left early they hadn’t started to melt yet. As the night wore on the ice cubes melted and mixed with the punch and tada..dead people
