Riddle 4

[obi]

Only questions with a yes or no answer are permitted. If you've heard this one, don't post the answer.

A MAN IS FOUND DEAD NEXT TO A SMALL PUDDLE OF WATER. HOW DID HE DIE?

I find this one a bit silly, but my husband thinks it's great. You can decide for yourselves once you get it!

I love this riddle and since I know the answer I won't post any questions. However... I've always heard the riddle phrased differently?

 

[obi]

I'm not surprised!

I used to play these riddle games a lot, and it seemed like everytime you played with a new group of people, there was a slight variation in how the others traditionally posed the question (and sometimes in the answer, too!). You'd also get a couple of people who new the answer going off to a corner to debate how a question ought to be answered!!

When this one is solved, post for the rest of us how you've heard it said, and what the anwer was!

Actually I think the way that I heard it asked would make it WAAY easier to figure out. So this is better.

[obi]

[maverick_kitten]

[pinkdaisy226]

So can I post the riddle the way I heard it because it was different?

Sure, you mean it was a different answer, too? If it'll be a whole new riddle, not just a different phrasing of the same one, sit on it until after I post and we solve riddle 5. That way you can spearhead riddle 6!

 

[pinkdaisy226]

Well it WAS a different answer but it'll probably be easy to get. Still want it to be riddle 6?
