Lateral Thinking Questions

===============
ANSWER: L.T.Q. #5

Date: Friday, July 14, 1995 10:02AM

I got such a good feeling from the 30km bike ride I did on Tuesday night, that I'm planning to do it again next Tuesday night! Can you believe it?!?

Anyway, on to the business at hand:

Here is this week's question:

Jed Recluse lived alone and he preferred it that way. Jed never had any visitors and he never visited anyone. Since Jed never left his house it was necessary to have his supplies delivered every two weeks. One dark and stormy night Jed lost control of his senses, turned off all the lights and went to sleep. The next morning it was discovered that Jed's actions resulted in the deaths of several people. Why?

ANSWER:

Jed Recluse was a lighthouse keeper. When he turned off all the lights there was no warning to shipping.

Which reminds me: I'm in need of someone to do some light housekeeping.
