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?
(In reply to
Death Riddle by Kent Schueler)
True, the poison could have been in the ice and so that man didn't get poisoned before it melted, but how do we know that some ice had not already melted into the punch, for the eat from the punch would transfer to the ice and the ice would melt in just a few minutes and we don't know quite how long the man had been at the party, just that he had left early. Also, how do we know that the man had no ice in his punch? I like to have ice in my drinks and it is a normal thing, so we must consider other things because you cannot assume that the ice has or has not melted by the time he drank it and you cannot assume that the man did not have any ice in his glass.
