Answers to Jed's List of Situation Puzzles
(last updated: 18 July 1999.)
This is the list of answers to the puzzles in my situation puzzles list.
This document also contains variant setups and variant answers for many of
the puzzles.
Introduction
In the game of situation puzzles, a mysterious situation is presented to
a group of players, who must then try to find out what's going on by asking
further questions. The person who initially presented the situation can
only answer "yes" or "no" to questions (or occasionally "irrelevant").
My list of situation puzzles consists of two sections. Section 1
consists of puzzles which are set in a realistic world; the situations could
all actually occur. Section 2 consists of puzzles which involve double
meanings for one or more words and those which could not possibly take place
in reality as we know it, plus a few miscellaneous others. Note that a
puzzle's number in this edition may not be the same as its number in earlier
editions.
