Lateral Thinking 1 Part 1: The Question

I have decided to do a bit of lateral thinking. In this post, I have the questions I chose. In my next post, I will have my answers. Finally, I'll show the real answers. (From http://www.expandyourmind.com/logicproblems/logic_lateral.shtml)



  • A SAFE PLACE:

    Frank leaves home.  When he tries to return, a man wearing a mask blocks his path.

    1.) What is Frank doing?
    2.) What is the masked man's occupation?
    3.) Where is Frank's "safe place?" 


  • 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.


    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?


    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 LOCKED ROOM:

    A man is dead in a puddle of blood and water on the floor of a locked windowless room.  What happened?
