A man went to a party and drank some of the punch. Late for another appointment, he then left early. Everyone else at the party who drank the punch subsequently died of poisoning.

Why did the man not die?

That is not a valid solution, nothing was said about ice being put in the bowl. How is it known ice was used? Isnt it reasonable that perhaps it was warm punch? or refrigerated? It does not say anywhere that any ice was ever in the bowl, therfore that is not a fair solution and other possibilites are still valid. Then again it is a riddle...
