Lateral Thinking Puzzle 5 -- The case of a lucky man

Lateral Thinking Puzzle 2 --- The secret of mystery book

Albie was talking to Morkel one day.

“In one of my books, Morkel, the end is in the first half of the book and the preface is in the second half. Not only that,” said Albie, “but the foreword comes after the epilogue, and the index precedes the introduction.”

“That’s amazing,” said Morkel, “What kind of book is that?”


HOW DID ALBIE ANSWER?

Lateral thinking puzzle 1 -- The acting deaf dumb driver

Pammo was in a taxi on her way home. Baljeet, the taxi driver, knew she was a frequent visitor to the mall and is a well-known chatterbox. So he didn’t want to engage in conversation with her. So he pretended to be deaf and dumb. He pointed to his ears and mouth to indicate to her that he couldn’t hear or speak. This ruse seemed to work. The journey was peacefully silent.

When they arrived and Pammo had got out the taxi, Baljeet pointed to his meter.

Pammo looked at the meter, read what she owed him, paid him and walked off. But she almost immediately realised that Baljeet couldn’t have been a deaf mute.


HOW DID SHE KNOW THIS?
