slacker Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 A woman came home on evening and switched on the light in her living room. She was horrified to see the remains of her husband on the floor. He had committed suicide. Ignoring the situation, the woman had a cup of coffee and went calmly about her housework, and did not phone medical assistance or the police. Why not? Quote Link to comment

BigRedJake Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Had he died recently? Quote Link to comment
AR Husker Fan Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 1. Did the wife cause the man to commit suicide? 2. Did the wife expect the man to commit suicide? Quote Link to comment
BigRedJake Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Ok, just reread the riddle and I've got a problem with it. How can she be horrified by the remains but ignore them? Seems to me that if the remains horrified her than she obviously didn't ignore it. Quote Link to comment
hskrfannnwk Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 The woman's husband had committed suicide three years earlier. The cat had knocked over the urn containing his ashes. After she finished her cup of coffee, she swept his remains back into the urn. Quote Link to comment

You should have played along, asked some questions, and then guessed, this way it was obvious you looked the answer up... Quote Link to comment
