Lateral Thinking puzzles
------------------------
These are some of the puzzles from a book. Please treat them as-is :-)
1. A man buys coconuts at $5 a dozen and sells them at $3 a dozen. As a result of this he becomes a millionaire. How?
The man lost money on every coconut he sold.
He did not make any money by any related activity.
2. A woman was sitting in her hotel room when there was a knock at the door. She opened the door to see a man whom she had never seen before. He said, "Oh I am sorry. I have made a mistake. I thought this was my room." He then went off down the corridor to the elevator. The woman went back into her room and called the reception to ask them to apprehend the man, who she was sure was a thief. What made her so sure?
3. A woman was at an expensive and prestigious dinner. The first course was soup. Halfway through the course, she called over a waiter and whispered in his ear. He brought a drinking straw which she used to finish her soup. The other guests were surprised at her actions, but she had a good explanation. What was it?
