Re: for your lateral thinking Probably The punch which he took might be in the frozen form.When he had left., it wud ve been melted and the poison wud ve been mixed up and that cud ve resulted in the death of others!!! __________________ [B][B][I][COLOR="Blue"][FONT="Times New Roman"]Regards, Raju[/FONT][/COLOR][/I][/B][/B]

Re: for your lateral thinking You are right raju.. the poison is in the form of ice cubes. when he drank, its fully frozen. it gradually melts and poisoned the punch.
