Can you guess this riddle? Think about it!?

Question

A man wanders in to a local bar one day and asks for a drink of water. After the bartender gives him the water, the man eyes the bartender suspiciously. The man says his wife told him the bartender was trying to kill him. The bartender is in shock and tells the man he never even thought of it, and just to be sure takes a drink of the water. Nothing happens. So, feeling a little guilty, it is a hot, sunny day outside and the man goes outside to drink his water. Thirty minutes later the man dies. How is this possible?

Answer 1

hold on...is there ice....cuz then the poison was in the ice.....ice melts in heat...man dies....bartender lives cuz ice hadnt melted......

Answer 2

Well, if the man died only 30 minutes after drinking the water he was served by the bartender, and nothin happened in between that half hour that could of had cause his death, then I think the bartender dropped poison in the water wanting to kill the poor man. What a shame! :(

Answer 3

It can't be ICE. It didn't say he drinks the water after 30 mins. But he DIES after 30 mins.

+ the bartender (if at all intended to kill the man), would not have assumed that the man will drink after 30 mins.

But the way the question is posed {{it is a hot, sunny day}}, it does seems to be a poison inside the ice. :)

Answer 4

the bartender shot the man 30 mins after he went outside 2 drink his water

Answer 5

The bartendar nor the wife did a thing. The date was September 11, 2001 and the man went back to work at the World Trade Center.

OR

There are 8 million ways to die in the naked city and this is one of them.

Answer 6

Of course you would not say that it was a hot, sunny day if it did not matter so the ice in the glass had poison in it and melted. What about the guy who was hanged from a rope (in a locked room) with nothing around him except a puddle under him. He was standing on a peice of ice to hang himself.

Answer 7

Ahh Charlie M Beat me to it, the poison was in the ice it didn't melt inside but it did Outside since it was so hot and it probably took thirty minutes for the ice to melt but a second for the poison to work.

Answer 8

there was poison in the ice. when the bartender drinks immediately the ice has no time to melt. the man goes into the heat melting the ice quickly.

Answer 9

The bartender never actually drank the water, just made it look like he did

Answer 10

Because, intuitively, he / she sensed something was seriously wrong deep down. The 'cancer', for example, that was causing him / her to cough up bucket loads of phlegm and thick green sticky mucous was bothering him / her. Probably intuitively let him / her know the end was near even though this individual really wanted to deny it. When the end was finally the near the 'truth' became inescapable, like a big old loogie working itself up to the surface like a festering, popping boil and , that was it. The end that person knew was coming burst forth like a decaying carcase bursting with maggots. Does that make sense?!

Answer 11

It's possible because the water didn't kill him. He would have been dead long before 30 minutes if it was poison. Therefore it was from another source that he died.
