114. A Man Was Found Naked in a Field...

A man was found naked and dead in a field. There were no tracks and no one there with him, he had with him only a straw. How did he get there and how did he die?

Solution:

He had been in an overloaded hot-air balloon that was sinking. After throwing out all ballast and even their clothes, the passengers drew straws to decide who must jump. He drew the short straw, leapt to save the others, fell to the field naked, and died; the balloon drifted away, leaving no tracks—just the straw in his hand.

he die because he jumped in a hot air baloon.

he was naked because the hot air baloon is almost dropped. so they undress themselves. and the straw he got the shortest straw whose on the hot air baloon. the one who got shortest straw will jump . for the hot air baloon conitnue the journey!!

He was a criminal and to avoid getting caught he leapt naked into a river and breathed through the straw. Unfortunately, the river flooded that night due to excess rain . He drowned and the river receded leaving him naked with his straw.
