About a month or two ago I started helping my friend with an extracurricular project. The premise was that we were going to make an 'online democracy' forum where the people in the forum would make all the rules of the forum and so forth. Turns out the project was quite a lot more than that. After some deliberation we decided to make it a role-playing forum where a person selects their career and posts. Each post you make earns you Capital, which you use to buy one of the over 200 objects in the store. I'm in charge of and working on the store, which is a wide variety of everyday and not-so-everyday objects that people can send to each other. The whole setup is excellent, with multiple background themes to choose from, of which one is still undergoing, a wide variety of ways to edit your character, and a well thought out system that is very dynamic and flexible. For instance, I took the role of a hard-boiled detective going around and stopping crime where I can, while others choose the more sinister route and decide to do some illicit drug trading. If you like the idea of a democracy where everyone decides what the rules are through voting, I'd register right away. If you refer 'ChemIisan' and sign up, I'll send you a one-of-a-kind and exclusive item for free. So go on, try it today and send me your feedback, so I can make sure this becomes the best forum ever invented!

All the solutions are in the links.
http://www.expandyourmind.com/logicproblems/logic_lateral_solutions.shtml#SAFEPLACE I'm correct here. http://www.expandyourmind.com/logicproblems/logic_lateral_solutions.shtml#LASTLETTER I was clever, but incorrect. WHAT AM I?: http://www.expandyourmind.com/logicproblems/logic_lateral_solutions.shtml#WHATAMI I feel stupid. AVOIDING THE TRAIN: http://www.expandyourmind.com/logicproblems/logic_lateral_solutions.shtml#TRAIN Correct! Oh yeah! THE PILOT'S SON: http://www.expandyourmind.com/logicproblems/logic_lateral_solutions.shtml#PILOTSON Again, clever, but incorrect.

Lateral Thinking 1 Part 2: My answers
Frank leaves home. When he tries to return, a man wearing a mask blocks his path.
1.) What is Frank doing?
He's playing baseball, duh.
2.) What is the masked man's occupation?
Catcher?
3.) Where is Frank's "safe place?"
first, second, or third base.
LAST LETTER:
A woman is seated and is writing. There is a thunderstorm outside and she dies as a consequence. How did she die?
WHAT AM I?:
If you look, you can't see me.
If you see me, you cannot see anything else.
I can make you walk if you can't.
Sometimes I speak the truth.
And sometimes I lie.
A man was walking along a railway track when he spotted an express train speeding towards him. To avoid it, he jumped off the track, but before he jumped he ran ten feet towards the train.
Why?
A man and his son were traveling on a scheduled flight across the Atlantic. The man asked the flight attendant if his son could have a look inside the cockpit. The boy was allowed to do this and the pilot gladly explained about the plane and its controls. After the boy left, the pilot turned to the co-pilot and said to him, "That was my son."
How could that be?
A man is dead in a puddle of blood and water on the floor of a locked windowless room. What happened?
A woman is seated and is writing. There is a thunderstorm outside and she dies as a consequence. How did she die?
While writing?
WHAT AM I?:
If you look, you can't see me.
If you see me, you cannot see anything else.
I can make you walk if you can't.
Sometimes I speak the truth.
And sometimes I lie.
Okay, the first two make me think 'eyelids' and the last two 'mouth', but that doesn't work. This one stumps me.
AVOIDING THE TRAIN: A man was walking along a railway track when he spotted an express train speeding towards him. To avoid it, he jumped off the track, but before he jumped he ran ten feet towards the train.
Why?
Because he was in a tunnel?
THE PILOT'S SON: A man and his son were traveling on a scheduled flight across the Atlantic. The man asked the flight attendant if his son could have a look inside the cockpit. The boy was allowed to do this and the pilot gladly explained about the plane and its controls. After the boy left, the pilot turned to the co-pilot and said to him, "That was my son."
How could that be?
The man was the pilot? It never said he couldn't be FLYING it.
THE LOCKED ROOM: A man is dead in a puddle of blood and water on the floor of a locked windowless room. What happened?
Locked AND windowless? Wouldn't he have suffocated?
