Default Lateral Thinking: The Man Who Went To Sleep...

We found this very strange lol, wanted to see if it takes other people as long as it took us to figure it out.


One night before a man went to sleep, he turned off all the lights in his house.... he then went to bed. The next morning, he found 10 dead bodies in his yard... how did the people get there?

I'm not sure but I've got 2 possibilities. Firstly, maybe he's a lighthouse keeper? When he turned the light off, a ship crashed and the 10 bodies are from the shipwreck?

Second option is that he lives in a cemetary as a caretaker/grave digger or whatever, and his "yard" is the cemetary? (In which case, finding 10 dead bodies would not be an unusual occurrence??)

Sadness is just another word for not enough coffee...

I'm pretty sure you're correct, but I think parker missed your post. This should remind them
