    Maybe I'll give this another try tomorrow. Perhaps we'll have some more participants then. And I've actually got to do some work today.

    All right here we go with round 3.


    Puzzle #3:

    He couldn't swim fast enough. So even though the man was in the water, he was burned to death. How?

    Status: Solved. The man was killed by sharks that had laser beams attached to their heads. And he was burned to death by the lasers.

    Was he swimming and then a helicopter picked him up in a fire bucket and dropped him onto a fire?

    Nope. Although I've heard of that one before. The ones I'm doing are brand new, thought up by myself, so goggle won't help you. ;)

    Anyone else? Lil Pun. A-train. Bueller. Bueller.

    OK, one more.

    Did he fall in a boiling hot spring at Yellowstone and couldn't get out in time?

    Was he trying to escape from an offshore oilfield that exploded?

    Was he in a natural source of water (Lake, river, ocean, etc.)?

    Does the source of the water actually matter or even relevant?

    Yes

    Yes.

    and

    Hmm. I'd probably say yes, it is somewhat relevant.

    Did somebody or something else do the burning?

    Was it two men, the one swimming and the one who burned to death?

    Was the burning caused by something naturally occurring?

    Was the burning caused by something manmade?

    Was he getting sunburned and too far out in the ocean so he couldn't swim fast enough to get into the shade? Which resulted in him being sunburned to death?

    I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

    One man.

    Not naturally occurring.

    Yes it's manmade.
