Every week, you will find a quiz in this page on a variety of subjects. There are no prizes for answering correctly nor whiplashes for incorrect answers. That need not hold you back from testing your knowledge. Go ahead and have fun. If you have interesting puzzles, teasers, questions on any subject and you want them to be featured here, please e-mail them to me at webmaster@mohaniyer.com. I will acknowledge your contributions. I have also arranged chronologically all the previous weeks' questions in an archive.

This week's quiz contains 5 Lateral Thinking puzzles

1. A man Robbed a bank. If he had seen the other gun, he would have not been in such a hurry. Why?

2. Amanda was doing something important when she got a call from Zoe, who was long-winded and boring. How did Amanda quickly finish the phone call without offending Zoe?

3. A man wanted to construct an important building and he received tenders from a hundred builders, who each presented their qualifications and claimed to be the best around. How did he eventually choose between them?

4. A very unlucky gambler had lost all his money. His friends organized a raffle, rigged so that he would be sure to win. Knowing the ticket number he held, they filled a hat with tickets bearing the same number. They then had him draw the winning number. "Well," they asked him,"who won?"
   
   "Not me, anyway," he replied sadly. What had happened?

5. See if you can crack the code:
