I don't really regard these as puzzles in their own right, I think they are more like extended riddles. The basic premise behind all these problems is that you are given a very brief summary of an situation. One person has to know the full story, and other people have to figure out the missing pieces by asking questions. There is only one restriction on the question you can ask. The question must be a question that can be answered with either a "yes" or a "no". Apart from that you can ask anything.

- Realistic Lateral Thinking Puzzles

In each puzzle, some basic clues to a realistic scenario are given, but the clues don't tell the full story. Your job is to fill in the details and have the resulting scenario make sense. Obviously, there is usually more than one answer to any given puzzle, but, in general, only the solution given is truly satisfying. (In some cases, multiple solutions are given.)
- Tricky Lateral Thinking Puzzles
-
This page contains Tricky Lateral Thinking Puzzles. These scenarios are a little more devious than the Realistic Lateral Thinking Puzzles in that the clues sometimes rely on double meanings of words, and some of the scenarios couldn't take place in a realistic world.
Many of these puzzles were adapted from collections by Jed Hartman and Paul Sloane.
Warning: For some reason, the situations for these puzzles have a tendency to be rather morbid.
