1. Children are being vaccinated.
2. A cult had a mass suicide, or they were all suffocated.
3. The man was not married to all 10 simultaneously
4. The man is on a day-trip to an island so food doesn't have to be necessary.
5. The husband did one big sneeze.
6. Joe has an appointment with some specialist or person with a weird job.
That's all for now, these are my guesses. Please don't post too many puzzles, guys. Let's make these forums advanced and technical!
7. the beetle is a car, he is a mechanic and the car fell on him.

1) that is the alternate answer
2)no. Better than that.
3)no, but thats a good answer.
4)no, its a different sort of island.
5)no. Everything is literal in this. It is just a normal routine for the woman to see her husband who has blown his brains out.
6)your on the right track. Be more specific (clue; "home" does not mean "abode")
7. the beetle is a car, he is a mechanic and the car fell on him.
Yes.
"The man was an amateur mechanic, the book is a Volkswagen service manual, the beetle is a car, and the pile of bricks is what the car fell off."
A man is found dead in the arctic with a pack on his back.
He is clearly found with a pack of arctic wolves feasting on him.

A woman came home with a bag of groceries, got the mail, and walked into the house. On the way to the kitchen, she went through the living room and looked at her husband, who had blown his brains out. She continued to the kitchen, put away the groceries, and made dinner. She is blind |

Adults are holding children, waiting their turn. The children are handed (one at a time, usually) to a man, who holds them while a woman shoots them. If the child is crying, the man tries to stop the crying before the child is shot. Right after birth
The mountain was a volcano and the cabin was spewed from it
It's a sandbar just a quarter mile off shore
AH hA! Joe want to go to the theatre, but cannot, for fear that he will join it once again.

#2A cabin, locked from the inside, is perched on the side of a mountain. It is forced open, and thirty people are found dead inside. They had plenty of food and water.

#4A man is alone on an island with no food and no water, yet he does not fear for his life.

#6Joe wants to go home but can't, because the man in the mask is waiting for him.

#10There is a dead man lying in the desert next to a rock.
Who cares what he's lying next to, he dies of exposure and dehydration
most of your answers work, but they are not the correct ones (your answer for 6 is very good).
In number 10, the cause of death was unknown, he was hydrated, unwounded, etc. How he got into the middle of an uninhabited desert is also unknown. The rock caused his death, but not with force.
These are cute ones. I can't wait for the answer to #2.
#4
A man is alone on an island with no food and no water, yet he does not fear for his life.
Could it be that he is dreaming?
I suppose that depends on what the meaning of "is" is, lol.
suppose so
#2 They died of hypothermia
hes, not draming and they didnt die of hyperthermia. Shall I commence with the answers? Most of these are very obscure, and you probably won't get them.
go for it, i wanna know before i go to bed

That is good! Did you make these up yourself?
Lateral Thinking Puzzles, unlike most puzzles, are inexact. In a sense, they are a hybrid between puzzles and storytelling. In each puzzle, some clues to a scenario are given, but the clues don't tell the full story. Your job is to fill in the details and complete the story. Obviously, there is usually more than one answer to any given puzzle, but, in general, only one solution is truly satisfying.
You can try solving these puzzles on your own -- that's certainly a legitimate way to go about this -- but usually you can have more fun if you involve other people. The way this works is, you look at the answer (maybe you want to try the puzzle on your own first!), then read just the clues to your friends. Your friends must determine the answer by asking questions about it, which you may answer only with yes, no, or doesn't matter. You can adjust the difficulty of the puzzle by varying the initial clues, throwing in red herrings, and so forth.
Warning: For some reason, these puzzles have a tendency to be rather morbid.
