Hey again! Here's another quickie while you guys work on my first puzzle. Not sure if this one has been told here before, but my friend came up with it last night, and I couldn't resist! A woman sleeps. A man dies. | ||

Are both human? Adults? Are they related to each other? Know each other? Would the man have died if the woman wasn't asleep? Could she have prevented his death is she was awake? Dies he die a natural death? Disease? Accident? Murder? | ||

When he commits suicide, does he think that the woman is dead (a sort of R&J scenario)? | ||

HINT: Alright, you guys know that he made the woman food and added an herb he bought from some person. She was unaware of the herb, and fell asleep. Now you need to find out who they were and how he died! ("who" meaning their professions, really) | ||

Did he jump off something else than a building? let me clear it up, he jumped OUT of a building, not OFF... out and into something Is this a legend, myth or fairy tale? It could be, but it could be true as well Was an herb meant to cure an illness? to enhance a characteristic? to change an attitude? None. It was simply meant to add spice to the meal, or so the man thought throw himself off a cliff? so no Sorry I've been gone for so long... But I am back and ready to help solve! | ||

Hmm... Let's see here. A cook puts an unusual spice into queen's dinner. When a page arrives back at the kitchen with a message that the queen is dead, cook jumps out of the window and drowns in the moat below. Later on another messenger announces that queen has awaken and is asking for seconds. If only he had waited a few seconds! Or if they had a phone... | ||

Later on another messenger announces that queen has awaken and is asking for seconds. If only he had waited a few seconds! Or if they had a phone... ********SPOILER!!!********** Yep! The cook got a new spice that he decided to try out in the queen's dish. The spice was a drug that relaxes the body and causes you to fall asleep. When she fell over, he had assumed that she was dead. Not wanting to get caught and tortured, he jumped out the window into the moat, so the Queen never got to ask him for seconds! Good job guys! I'll come up with a new one soon! |
