What if Elvin was female?

Was Steve a hyphotist?


Ahh, that's got to be it.  Steve hypnotized Chris and led him upstairs.  When Steve had a heart attack and realized he might die, he punched Chris so that Chris would awake and not spend the rest of his life thinking he was a chicken.


That sounds quite reasonable actually.

This is very close. "Steve hypnotized Chris to try to prove it was possible....  When Steve had a heart attack and realized he might die, he punched Chris so that Chris would awake and not spend the rest of his life thinking he was a chicken." Steve doesn't care that much about Chris, so there would have to be something more serious about to happen for him to punch Chris. How was the family involved?

Was Chris's family upstairs?

Btw, on a side note - check my answer a bit before that message you quoted. I am not vain, but I like to take a credit for something when I feel I deserve it

Through hypnosis, Steve told Chris, who was staying on his honeymoon with his wife, to murder his wife. This was in order to convince Chris that it was possible. When he realised he was having a heart attack he punched Chris to try to take him out of his trance. Well done all for ultimately aiding the Russ+FoG joint effort that got the correct answer.

In hypnotism there's a debate about whether people can be made to do things under hypnotism that would be ethically unconsciousiable to them while they were conscious.  This must have been the debate that Steve and Chris had.  Perhaps Chris agreed to be hypnotized to prove that you can't.  Steve hypnotized him and then told him to go terrorize his family while he was under the trance.  When Steve had the heart attack blah blah....

way to go Russ

Maybe not as hard as the previous ones, but still... Tell me if it has been asked before (though I don't remember it).

A diver was found dead in a middle of a burnt down forest. He, however, had no burn marks or anything of the sort. How did he die?

Had he fallen from above into the forest?
Did he avoid the burn marks because he was not in the forest whilst it was on fire?

He was diving somewhere in the sea when a forest fire broke out. The fire-fighting helicopters were summoned and went to the sea to get water. However they did not see the man diving, so they accidentally picked him up in the bucket (or however it's called) along with the water. Then they just dropped him in the forest from some large height, along with the water, and he died from the fall.

I'm sorry for being a party pooper...

I've solved it once. If you do it on paper it's actually not that hard, solving it in the head - now that might be a challenge.

Edit: ok, tried to solve it in my head, it's not just a challenge, it's hell. I made some progress, but there's no way I can get to the finish like that.

I'd have one like those earlier. Tell me if the one about a dead man in phone boot has been told before.
