I got a really fun puzzle book at goodwill a few weeks ago. I've been wanting to do a contest with it, so today's the day!
5 Steem to the first person that gives the correct answer to the puzzle below.
Good luck! and Happy Halloween!!!

"A man turned off the light and went to bed. the next morning he turned on the radio and heard of a dreadful tragedy in which more than 100 people had been killed. he realized it had all been his fault. why? he did not wake in the night and he did not sleep walk."
edit : that was fast! @poyim guessed the correct answer! Excellent job!
so let's do one more! This time i'm not announcing the prize or the winner until tomorrow morning. Just to make it easy on me. Lol.
One more.
Good luck!
"the king had a magic lamp that contained a genie. He also had a beautiful daughter who loved Aladdin, but the king did not like Aladdin and did not wish them to marry. He did not wish to upset his daughter, so one day he rubbed on the lamp and devised a plan with the genie. The king said he would call upon Aladdin and his daughter and seek a test of worthiness from the genie for Aladdin. They would all have to abide by the results. Aladdin was passing by when he heard the king and the genie planning the event. The genie said," I will produce two envelopes for Aladdin to choose his fate. We will tell him that one contains the words 'get married' and the other will contain the words 'banished forever'. Aladdin must choose one envelope, but I will make sure that both envelopes have 'banished forever' written on them."
How did Aladdin trick the genie and the king?"
edit #2: no one got the last one. Answer is in the comments if you're curious. 😂😉
The light he turned off... was it the Light House?

YAY!! Awesome. THANKS! I love these little puzzles. Great idea.
Next time... you could wait a day before responding with the right answer. Than more people can participate in the fun. But, I do like the instant satisfaction of finding out if I was right. ;D.

He would tell the king he will open the one with the “banished forever” envelope, so clearly the unopened one will “have to be” the “get married” envelope. And the king will have to agree or else reveal that he had cheated.

Close! But not quite..
If Aladdin opened his envelope, he must abide by what is written on it.
Instead, Aladdin ripped up his envelope and asked to see what was in the remaining envelope. Therefore it would look as if his was the get married one or else the king would have to admit he cheated.
That was a tricky one! Thanks for playing. ☺

The eye drops worked pretty good that way! She still didn't like the wet feeling of the drop and I had to pry her eye open to get it in, but she tolerated it. Lol. Thank you again for the tip! 😊

That's good. I hope your little one feels better soon. I hate it when they are sick. It's no fun for no one!

Because he was a firefighter and didn't wake up to fight the fire?
