Lateral Thinking Puzzles

Lateral thinking puzzles are great fun and a good way to stimulate a group of children or students and can help to boost your intellect but they are also used by innovators and inventors to create new ideas and products for companies. Lateral thinking puzzles, unlike most puzzles, are inexact. In a sense, they are a cross between puzzles and storytelling. In each puzzle, some clues to a scenario are given, but the clues don't tell the full story. Your job is to fill in the details and complete the story. Obviously, there is usually more than one answer to any given puzzle, but, in general, only one solution is truly satisfying. Solving lateral thinking puzzles is most fun as a group activity with people shouting out answers.
