Two cars are involved in a minor collision which causes no injuries. Police soon arrive and discover that they will also need an ambulance. When the ambulance does arrive, it leaves with a dead person inside. What happened? I have the feeling this won't take too long... | ||

Did the ambulance already have a dead person inside? Ah, nice thinking...but no. The safe assumption is that, besides medical personnel/EMTs, the ambulance was empty when it arrived. | ||

Are the two cars the only vehicules involved in the collision? Are there [LTPF list of integers] people in the first car? in the second car? Any relevant animals? Is the dead person on of the people who were in the cars? A police officer? Did the person die before the accident? After the accident but before the police arrive? After the police arrive? After the ambulance arrives? Relevant who called the police? | ||

Are the two cars the only vehicles involved in the collision? Yes Are there [LTPF list of integers] people in the first car? in the second car? Good q - one car had 2 people in it, the other car had only the driver in it Any relevant animals? Well there was a squirrel nearby, but he's not relevant Is the dead person one of the people who were in the cars? Yes A police officer? No Did the person die before the accident? No, good q After the accident but before the police arrive? Exactly! After the police arrive? No After the ambulance arrives? No Relevant who called the police? No | ||

Is the exact nature of the collision relevant? A rear-end collision? The driver of car one - H/A/M? the one who died? The second person in car one - H/A/M? the one who died? The driver of car two - H/A/M? the one who died? Long shot: One of people got so mad that he got his gun out of the glove department and shot one of the other guys? Or, in a more general way, any weapons relevant? | ||

Is the exact nature of the collision relevant? Somewhat A rear-end collision? Yes The driver of car one - H/A/M? the one who died? Well yes, if we define "Car 1" as the car that was rear-ended. The driver of this car was HAM and is the one who died. The second person in car one - H/A/M? the one who died? Second person is HAF and she did not die. The driver of car two - H/A/M? the one who died? "Car 2" rear-ended Car 1, and the driver of this car is HAM and did not die. Long shot: One of people got so mad that he got his gun out of the glove department and shot one of the other guys? No...but, to some degree this is the right line of thinking Or, in a more general way, any weapons relevant? No true story? I've never heard of this actually happening, but...FYOI? ...it's a little of this, with...FSEI? ...mostly this. The idea has been described and portrayed in TV, movies and elsewhere. Is it relevant in what country this took place? No, just any country in which people can operate cars I'm assuming either 20th or 21st century, lol. Yes, either of these Was the now-dead guy murdered? No Did he die of natural causes? No Was he already dying when he got there? Hmmmm...better see the following answers Did he die of a disease or allergy? No Did he have a weak heart? Yes Did he die because of injuries of some sort?No If he was murdered did his killer try and make his death look like it was caused by the collision? No, but good thinking Did anyone gain financially from the guy's death? Well probably the passenger of the car he was driving, but this wasn't in any way motive or in any direct way connected with his death Did the police treat the death as suspicious? No, they didn't have to Was his body found inside the car? No or on the road? This, yes | ||

You can safely assume that aside from Morty's weak heart, all 3 people in the puzzle were of the same health status leading up to and at the time of the accident. In other words, leading up to and at the time of the accident, there was nothing unusual or out of the ordinary about the way Karl looked. | ||

So let me get this straight: Karl did something that made Morty think he was badly injured or even dead, and the effect this action had on Morty was a partial consequence of Morty's old age? Would a younger person, then, also likely have thought that Karl was injured/dead? Or would a younger person have been likely to understand that Karl was alive and well? I'm assuming we aren't just talking about the fact that being old would make it more likely to have a weak heart? BTW, have we discovered the relevant thing about Lindsey and Morty yet? Is it the fact that they are married? That they are old? Would the puzzle still work if you removed Lindsey from it? | ||

So let me get this straight: I'll help if I can Karl did something that made Morty think he was badly injured or even dead Exactly! and the effect this action had on Morty was a partial consequence of Morty's old age? Yes, and affected Morty to the extent that he died due to having a weak heart Would a younger person, then, also likely have thought that Karl was injured/dead? Good q - most people who saw Karl after the accident would have thought he was either badly injured or dead because of what Karl did. However, people closer to Morty's age would be more apt to respond in a certain way and react the way Morty did Or would a younger person have been likely to understand that Karl was alive and well? Good q - perhaps if Karl had rear-ended another male in his teens-20's, that other male would have known that Karl wasn't injured or dead, no matter how Karl appeared. This would especially be the case if the person that Karl hit had the same kind of personality as Karl did (that's a hint) I'm assuming we aren't just talking about the fact that being old would make it more likely to have a weak heart? Well no, but what resulted from Karl's actions would probably not have led to the death of someone younger with a relatively strong heart - Morty's weak heart and another aspect about Morty are both factors here BTW, have we discovered the relevant thing about Lindsey and Morty yet? Yes...Is it the fact that they are married? That they are old? ...it's actually both of these, but...Would the puzzle still work if you removed Lindsey from it?...yes, it would. Lindsey appears in the puzzle to help establish the events that led up to what's described in the puzzle statement. | ||

I'm not sure whether we've asked this already, but is Morty's profession or the kind of car Morty is driving relevant in any way? None of this is relevant Is the place the accident took place relevant? There is one aspect about it that is relevant, yes Is the place Morty and Lindsey drove from relevant? The place they were headed to? No, neither of these are relevant We're actually really close to the solution. The basics are this: Karl rear-ended Morty's car, but the collision was so minor that it couldn't possibly have caused any injuries. Yet when Morty got out of his car and saw Karl, he thought Karl was either badly injured or dead. Then something happened which caused Morty (who had a weak heart) to die. The kinds of cars don't matter, and it doesn't matter where either car was coming from or going to. The fact that Karl is a male in his teens or early 20's and Morty is an old man are relevant in the situation. | ||

*** SPOILER *** Morty and Lindsey were driving somewhat slowly, and impatient Karl was on the road behind them. Karl was driving very close to Morty's car, and when Morty stopped at an intersection Karl slightly bumped Morty's car. Morty got out of his car to see what had happened and saw that Karl appeared badly hurt, maybe dead - Karl's head was slumped to the side, eyes half open, mouth slightly open (of course, he was faking). When Morty approached Karl's car and saw that Karl wasn't moving, he opened the door to investigate. When he did so, Karl screamed "Boo!", intending to make a joke. Sadly, this was no joke for Morty, whose heart could not take the scare and he died. Nice job by all! | ||

Poor Morty... But a very good puzzle! It's amazing how one can keep overcomplicating things. | ||

Well that's the fun thing about these puzzles, it's often the simplest solutions that take the longest to reach. Much of that is due to the highly trained minds (not mine) of the people that participate here. | ||
