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: There was a train crash. Every single person died. Two people survived. Why don’t these two statements contradict each other?

This one was too easy! Gotta step it up!
