clyde Member 71 Member For: 21y 11m 24d Location: Sydney Posted 22/08/03 04:29 AM Share Posted 22/08/03 04:29 AM I have been presented with the following brain teaser at work. I have no idea as what the answer is and I thought since the people on this forum were smart enough to purchase such a great car they may also be smart enough to know the answer."Acting on an anonymous phone call, the police raid a house to arrest a MURDERER. They don't know what he looks like, but they know his name is John. Inside they find a carpenter, a lorry driver, a car mechanic and a fireman playing cards. Without even asking his name, they immediately arrest the fireman. How do they know that they've got their man." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
