This is another easy one. I'm going to have to go find my harder ones.

A man is found hanging dead from the ceiling of a room. The rooms dimensions are 15`x 15` x 15`. The man is only 6` tall and the rope was only 2` long. There are no windows and only one door into the room. The door is bolted shut from the inside and there is a puddle of water under the man. How did he kill himself?

He hung himself.

Well since Britt is a Jineddy (Jinny and Teddy) and Morganne is a Jinanybody (Jin and Anybody) I'm a JinMag, now you can figure that one out on your own.

Well, it seems like he hung himself. But if that is the answer, then there is a technical problem, in that it would be impossible to make a noose big enough for a man's head with only 2 feet of rope. Unless you mean that the 2 foot length is the length of rope that extends above the man's head, and not the entire length of it.

I herd that joke when I was 9. I think it he stabbed himself with a stick or something like that.

A Gilligan Fan ss · 08-12-2001, 07:51 PM

Hmm, I don't know maybe he slipped trying to jump and get the rope?

He stood on a block of ice with the rope around his neck and when it melted, he was hung.

I do believe you are right. I still can't get past the technicalities of having such a short rope to make a noose though!

And dang, that would be one long, slow, boring death. That block of ice would have to be like, at least, 5 feet tall!

You got it all correct. I'll try to find some of my harder ones and post them later.
