<p>Ok next puzzle (this time its an actual one).</p>
<p>A man takes something and is later called to court.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Okay? Not really an unusual puzzle, but I’ll bite:
Was the act of taking what he took a crime?
Was he called into court for taking what he took?
Was he called into court because he committed another crime?</p>
<p>BTW, mine was an actual puzzle. It came from a book of Lateral Thinking Puzzles</p>
<p>Would I be called to court if I took the same thing?</p>
<p>@garfieldliker, what’s the answer then?</p>
<p>Basically, it’s against international law to remove material from Antarctica</p>
<p>That’s it then?</p>
<p>Was the act of taking what he took a crime? no
Was he called into court for taking what he took? yes
Was he called into court because he committed another crime? no
Would I be called to court if I took the same thing? yes</p>
<p>Is the thing he took a tangible thing or an intangible thing?
Is the court a civil court? A criminal court?
Is this court in the United States?</p>
