    The blind man from the frst question (remember him).

    His body is at the bottom of the cliff.
    The tide comes in and washes it out to sea.

    The bloke from the second question comes along.

    He sees the body in the sea.
    He strips off naked and dives in to save him.

    (he does not know the blind man is already dead)

    The tide pulls the guy away out to sea. He does manage
    to make it back ashore but 5 miles from where he started.

    So now I have him naked - Yes - agreed?

    So this bloke starts walking inland. He is tired after
    his ordeal in the sea and cold. He dies of hypothermia
    in the middle of a field.

    The bloke who originally set these questions saw everything
    that has happened. Including the blind man falling off the cliff.

    He places a straw in the naked man's hand and runs home
    to his computer to set this puzzle.

    WALLAH!

    I think other, funnier, solutions are possible though!
    This is the solution I originally had in mind.. sorry it wasn't the greatest of puzzles. 😉

    interesting theory... but not exactly what I had in mind. 😀

One day after a terrible storm the buoy had blown out to see. The man not knowing the buoy was gone walks off the cliff and dies. Why?

    2. A dead man is found in ...[text shortened]... nd please state which problem the question is for, although it will probably be self evident. 😀
    It has become popular belief of the squirrels, my friend, that both men are not really dead. They are merely trying to force you all into posting humorous, eccentric, or perhaps even plausible reasons for their deaths, so that they may put such reasons into action and collect all insurance money later as a mysterious identical twin.

    Also, the squirrels would like to inform all of you that they want more birdseed.

    That is all.
