Did the gun shoot bullets?
 Yes, it was a real gun, but the bartender didn't actually shoot the man.

Yes, sorry.  That is what I mean by 'latteral puzzle'.  Ask away...

The man was an alcoholic and knew that he could not resist the addiction, so he asked the bartender to force him away from the only place he could get alcohol.
  Nope.

e, is that a question for me?

I would think that if you explain to Card that DB is carrying it, and you would like to get a review in Meridian, but nobody else is more qualified to review this kind of a book than he is, and he already has it written up...  He would go for it.

OSC has written for the Meridian Magazine before, and he wrote a review for Elantris.  Why not ask him if he will send his review and have it posted in Meridian?

That will carry more weight than you can imagine.  Quite frankly, since I had never heard of Elantris or EUOL before HOM showed me this site, that is what made me want to buy the book.  I trust OSC's judgement (sometimes), and if he likes the book, then I will probably like the book.

Seriously, I'd give half my royalties to have OSC review my book...

I asked if the man was naked, and you said no.  :)

Ok, I love those kind of 'lateral' puzzles.  This one is a 'chestnut', but still fun if you haven't heard it.

A man walked into a bar and asked for a drink.  The bartender stared at him for a moment, pulled out a gun, and pointed it at the man.  The man looked at the bartender for a moment, said thank you, and walked out.

What just happened?

If you read Elantris, all your wildest dreams will come true.

Ok, the balloon is going down.  Somebody has to jump.  The man takes two matches, breaks one, and then the woman chooses the short match.  She is the one who has to jump.

Is the man still alive?
Was the man trying to light something?  
Was he trying to light the burner?
Was there a second match?  
And she drew the 'short straw' (or match as the case may be)

Is the matchstick broken in half?
Would the match light if somebody else struck it?
Is it important that the field in which she lies is 'muddy'?
Are the fields around her also muddy?
Did she break the match?
Did the man break the match?

You mentioned that the woman was in danger before she jumped.  Did that danger stemp from the balloon crashing?
Is the male in the balloon related to her?  Does she love him?  
Was she trying to light something on fire before she jumped?

Ok, I'm guessing the balloon was going down.  She tries to light the burner, but the match is 'broken' (possibly wet?)and won't light.  She took off her clothes to help lighten the load.  She loves the male in the balloon, so to save him she sacrifices herself by jumping.

If that is not the whole story...

Is it raining?

So, we have a fully clothed female, who enters a hot air baloon with a male.  The next thing we know she is naked and jumps from the balloon on her own free will.  The balloon does not crash.

Was the woman in danger before she jumped out of the balloon?
I'm assuming that since the woman is naked, she does not have a parachute on?
Is the match unused?
Was she trying to light the burner on the hot air balloon?
Did she take off her clothes to lighten the load of the balloon?
Did the woman think they were still on the ground when she jumped?
Did the woman know she would die when she jumped?

Was the stick a match?

Did the stick used to be attached to the ballon (or balloon carriage)?  
Or something in the balloon?
Did she bring the stick with her on the way to the balloon ride?
Did she enter the balloon naked?

I have to admit, I'm getting nothing.

Was the male naked?
Is this riddle moving into PG-13 territory?
Did the woman plan on jumping when she first got into the balloon?
Did the man jump?
Is the wooden stick just a wooden stick, or does it serve some other purpose.
Are there markings on the stick?
Is it man made (or carved or altered by man)?
