Задача

Bob and Carol and Romeo and Juliet all live in the same house. Bob and Carol go out to a movie, and when they return, Romeo is lying dead on the floor of the living room. There is some broken glass and spilt water around him. It is obvious that Juliet killed him, but she is not severely punished. Why is that?
A man walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman took out a gun and pointed it at him. The man said ‘Thank you’ and walked out. Why?
In pairs, discuss which of these games and puzzles you have tried: sudoku; word squares; hangman; crosswords; battleships; noughts and crosses; spot the difference; riddles.
Read riddles 1 and 2. Which riddle does each picture illustrate? In pairs, discuss possible solutions to the riddles.
Listen to two students trying to solve riddle 2. What possible solutions do they give? Do you think they’re plausible? Why?
Look at the underlined modals + perfect infinitives referring to the past in sentences a–g and match them to definitions 1–3.

a) The barman can’t have liked the look of the man.

b) No, it couldn’t have been that. It’s too obvious.

c) The man must’ve been thirsty or he wouldn’t have asked for some water.

d) He might’ve just walked across the desert and was dying for a drink.

e) The barman could’ve been scared, so he took out his gun.

f) The barman may have recognised him from the newspapers.

g) He might not have known his photo was in the papers.

1) You are almost certain that something happened.

2) You think it’s possible that something happened/didn’t happen.

3) You are almost certain that something did not happen.

Подробный ответ

1 — Because Juliet is a cat. She killed Romeo by knocking over the glass of water, and the broken glass and spilled water are clues.

2 — Because the man had hiccups. The barman pointed the gun at him to scare him, and the man said “Thank you” because the hiccups stopped.

Разбор

В риддлах нужно искать не прямой, а неожиданный смысл. В первом случае «Juliet» — это не человек, а кошка. Во втором случае мужчина просил воду не потому, что хотел пить, а чтобы избавиться от икоты.
