Game: Lateral thinking puzzles

[88jayto]

Here's a few puzzles for you guys to solve. I'll start off easy. There are no prizes except the glorious satisfaction of being correct. Feel free to guess, there is no limits to this.



#1

A man was challenged to go around the world in a ship, yet always stay in sight of land. He succeeded, but how?

#2

Jacob was sailing in the ocean when he came across an abandoned Yacht. Corpses were floating around it. What happened?

#3

Two rival executives at a car firm are at a lawyer's office, having their deceased bosses last will read to them. Their boss had decided the future of the company would be decided by a race; each of the executives must drive from their headquarters in New York to a factory in Philadelphia. The executive whose car arrives last will win.

Puzzled, they both mull this idea over in the office. Together, they ask another employee for advice. Upon hearing his words, they both rush off towards their cars and begin driving to Philadelphia. What was the advice the other employee gave them?

The answer to number #2

When they all went to swim the ladder was at perfect level. After they all decided to go into the water the ladder moved up because the boat no longer had the wait of the passengers. They drowned because the ladder moved out of reach.
