Good morning Board Guests - we thought it was a good time for a new Group puzzle challenge. Like the past challenges, please choose a Leader, and work together, to solve the following puzzle. You can discuss this puzzle in the Discussions area, and the Leader must post your group answer in the Final Answer area by 8:00 p.m. PST today. You can ask the Host 15 questions in the Questions area that can be answered with "yes" or "no". Good Luck!

John paid thousands of dollars to build an addition onto his primary residence. Yet, after the construction was completed, he never went into that part of the house again. Why?

Was it a place to put Sister Whit so she wouldn't constantly harangue him about cheating scandals and re-votes?

Well, these are my thoughts:

a) it's a place you don't go into
b) you CAN'T get into it
c) maybe it was a chimney?

not much :)

I was wondering about a roof. A new roof would cost thousands but who goes in a roof?

I think you're onto something there... because if they said "onto" , that would be too much of a giveaway... so maybe you're right?/

Maybe it was a laundry room! If John is anything like some of the men I know he would avoid such a room like the plague.

i think the fireplace idea Spammy had was a good one....he could have built a fireplace onto his house and you wouldn't go into that.

Maybe it was something he couldn't go "into" like a tennis court or a pool. Maybe he doesn't swim?

Or its a mother-in-law appartment. Or he is a really bizarre guy and he and his ex can't leave the property (kids?) so they build an addition for the ex?

Exactly... and the brickwork does cost lots of money, if you do it in a nice way... especially inside the house, if you use pretty stone or something...

but then again "he never went into that PART of the house again"... kind of funny wording if it's a fireplace...

it's a part of the house... so he doesn't step foot in this part of the house... pools have areas around them for walking... i'd think he'd walk in there...

maybe it's for his parents-in-law and he hates them... that's a good one, but requires some question-asking :)

Maybe it was a workout room. I know I have all kinds of good intentions, spend a lot of money on equipment etc, and then spend the rest of my time hiding from and/or avoiding the equipment.

It was a mosoleum. He planned on being buried there

That's a good one wcv... laundry troom, work out room...

nor: totally! he built himself a mosoleum, but then he died and was buried there right away...

BUt "he never went into that part of the house again" dead OR alive :)

it says "why" didn't he go in... maybe there's a reason, and it doesn't have to do with what he built...

- because he died right after it was completed
- because he was selling the house and moved
- because it burned down right then
- because there was an earthquake or tornado and it was destroyed
- because he didn't live in his primary residence, he decided to live at his cottage?
- because he rented taht part of the house out to someone he didn't know well

Maybe he added on and made it a duplex and rented it out to someone who got careless with matches and burned it down.

whats a "laundry room"?

Vasix -- that's the room in which I have large piles of previously worn clothing that I avoid at all costs. It's also currently the room in which my kitty is quarantined as he recovers from his fractured pelvis. He has to stay there for 4-6 weeks. Another 4-6 weeks for which I have the perfect excuse not to stir any of the previously mentioned piles of clothing. After all, I wouldn't want to disturb him!

He built a swimming pool for his kids but doesn't know how to swim himself.

I think Moon got the answer right when she said that he moved.
