Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain.
If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together.
I’ll confirm answers in the afternoon so don’t worry if you don’t see your comment posted right away. I want to give everyone a chance to guess.
This week’s riddle:
Two people had dinner together and both ordered iced tea for drinks. One drank their iced tea very quickly and finished five in the time that it took the other person to finish just one drink.
The person who drank one iced tea died, while the other survived. All of the iced teas were poisoned so how did the person who drank the most iced teas survive?

He built up an immunity to the poisonous Iocane Powder that was in the drinks!

the poison was I the ice cubes, and the one who drank the most gave them the least time to melt so they didn’t ingest as much poison
