Two men are in a desert. They both have packs on. One of them is dead. The other man has his pack open, and the man who is dead has his pack closed. What is in the pack?
Common Wrong Answers
“Water”
While water is essential for survival in a desert, it doesn't explain the situation of one man being dead and the other alive with a pack open. The riddle specifically hints at an event related to skydiving.
“Food”
Food would not be a logical item to have in a pack in the context of the riddle. The scenario revolves around a skydiving incident, making food irrelevant to the situation of survival in a desert.
“Camping gear”
Camping gear does not fit the narrative of the riddle. Given that the men are in a desert and one is dead, it suggests a more immediate and critical situation, like skydiving, rather than a leisurely camping trip.
