Two girls went to dinner together and both ordered iced tea. One girl pounded down five of them in about a minute, and the other took her time drinking one.
The girl who drank one died, while the girl who drank five survived. However, all of the drinks that were served turned out to contain poison.
Why did the girl that drank more iced tea survive?
This one is very heavy on lateral thinking – after giving the opening to the riddle (below), tell the other person they may ask as many questions they want to figure the answer out providing you can answer it with “Yes”, “No”, or “That’s irrelevant”.
A man walks into a restaurant and sits down at a table. He orders a seagull sandwich from the menu. The sandwich arrives, the man takes a bite of it, then leaves the restaurant, goes home, and commits suicide. Why?
Your friend is then expected to get the following convoluted solution from their questioning, which from experience people either love the game to figure it out, or loathe how out there the correct answer is: >!The man is a widower whose wife died on a holiday in the past. They were on a cruise when the ship capsized. The man and his wife made it onto a lifeboat with a few other survivors and washed up on a deserted island. The man’s wife and another survivor went to search for food and eventually the stranger returns with a large amount of “seagull meat”, but unfortunately informs the man that his wife was killed (fell to her death, gored by a bore, or anything else) during the expedition. They eat the “seagull”, and after being rescued the man returns home alone. In the restaurant the man orders a dish containing seagull meat, and upon taking a bite he notices that the taste is not the same as the “seagull” he ate on the island. The revelation makes him realise what actually happened that day, an unable to live with the guilt of eating his wife, he kills himself.!<
