two men go into a pub at the exact same time, this first man sits down and orders a coke with ice, and then the second man orders the exact same thing (coke with ice) the first man takes his time drinking it slowly and leave after an hour and a half and dies. The second man drinks his coke in a hurry and leaves 5 minutes after ordering and lives fine. Why did the first man die?

(i hope i explained that well enough sorry if i didn't)

Well.. that riddle is really easy...
if you think about it... the things you get to know is:
1. the drinks (coke with ice)
2. the speed of drinking (fast vs slow)

if you then think of what matter the time will have the answer is obvious
when he drinks the coke slowly, the ice will melt.
But the other guy drinks his coke so fast that the ice still is frozen.
That means that the death cause lies in the ice, probably poison.

That is my solution. Wink

That's an easy one.

Both drinks contain poisoned ice cubes.
The second man drank his fast, therefore giving little time for the ice to melt and distribute the poison.
Now, common sense tells us that if you take your time drinking anything with ice, the ice melts. The frst man took an hour and a half, during which time the ice had melted and distributed more poison.

I think the second man probably felt a little sick, but he didn't get nearly enough poison to kill him, unlike the first man.
