Bilateral Thinking Puzzles
Q: There is a man dead in a locked office, sitting at his desk. On the
desk there are a couple of pieces of blank paper, a pen and a sealed
envelope. What had happened?
A: He had been outside in a storm and had been thoroughly soaked, and
had come inside to warm himself by the fire. He was wearing a leather
collar, and as the collar dried, it shrank, strangling him.
