Did you solve it? Two dead at the drink-off – a brilliant new lateral thinking puzzle

[FrostNestX]

Ugh, can't believe what just happened ... I mean, who tries to drink poison? Like, seriously? They brought water as their "poison" thinking it would cure them if the other guy didn't reveal his own... genius move right there. It's like they thought they could outsmart each other or something. Newsflash: you can't. And now two people are dead because of it . I mean, what's next? Trying to drink paint or something?

I don’t usually comment but I think this whole thing is wild lol . I mean, two guys bringing water as their strongest poison? That's some next level lateral thinking right there . It's like they thought the Queen was gonna be all like "cool guys bring your A-game" and they were like "nah we got this" . But you can't just give up on critical thinking, that's what killed them . Like I'm not saying it's a good thing that they died but... I don’t know maybe there's some kind of takeaway here? Like, think before acting, right?

omg what's up with this royal thing lol did they really die from drinking water?? that's like super basic lol wouldn't they have just brought actual poison if they wanted to kill each other? and who thought it was a good idea for the queen to make them do this "test" in the first place? seems kinda sketchy to me.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this crazy story! Who knew that water could be a poison? I mean, it's not like it's the first time someone's tried to trick others with a lateral thinking puzzle... But seriously, what's wild is how both Smith and Jones fell for the same trap. It's like they were following each other's moves without realizing the real answer was right in front of them . I'm loving this kind of brain teaser - it's like a real-life game of chess! Can we get more puzzle-solving updates like this?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one, how could two people think that water would be a lethal poison? It's like they didn't even try to come up with a plan B. The puzzle itself is actually pretty clever, but I guess you can't fool all the people all the time. This whole thing just goes to show that sometimes we need to question our assumptions and not jump into things blindly .
