Here is the first of the games and puzzles I hope to share following my recent post “Sharpen Your Testing Skills with Games & Puzzles”. I believe there are several versions of this riddle out there, however, I am sharing the riddle as it was given to me by Pete Walen at the recent QUEST conference. Thanks Pete!

“A man leaves home. He travels a specific distance then turns left. He travels the same distance and turns left again. He travels the exact same distance and turns left again. He travels the exact same distance and returns home where he meets a man waiting for him. What is the man who left home doing?”

I will not be posting answers to the games and puzzles on my site. Email me if you think you have the answer. Enjoy!
