Drowning, wounds/injuries from the impact itself, fire (which was only a possibility anyways) could kill people in a large wreckage. And that explains not being able to see any dead bodies directly, but seeing a large burning wreckage would explain knowing there were dead bodies. Guess we'll have to wait 9 hrs! haha. In the mean while, I just stumbled upon this site which is pretty cool. It's a 20 question AI. http://www.20q.net/
Damn...that is very convincing foxmeep...I guess it is a 9 hour wait then...

To be STRICTLY SPEAKING, I should have answered NO to "Did he see dead bodies outside?" if I read that question 100% literally. But there were dead bodies outside, and he could see this. Sorry for being cryptic, but it's the only way I can explain it.
Funny you should mention that because it's what confirms it beyond a shadow of a doubt for me. He wanted to say YES, people died. If he said no, we would just move on past the theme of 'people died' which meant we would have to go around in circles forever before finding it. However the problem was that the guy didn't actually see any dead corpses with his eyes, he just knew they were dead, so strictly speaking the answer is no.

Hello people, yes foxmeep/tissue got it right =P
The man is indeed in charge of a lighthouse, and on this fateful day he woke up a little too late. Having not turned on the light of the lighthouse, ships had crashed into the rocky and very dangerous shore. What a nasty and depressing sight to wake up to.
Yeah about the dead bodies, at first I assumed they'd be floating around and thus he'd be able to see them, but that kinda defies the laws of physics. Also the ships would be a reasonable distance away from him. So technically, he wouldn't actually see any corpses.
And about the fire, uh, I guess I assumed things just exploded on the ship = fire = dies. I didn't really think about how modern the ship was, heh.
Hope you guys had fun!

Did he at least turn on the lighthouse before killing himself?
|
Anyone else have one to tell? I can send one too if you want to answer but don't have one.
|
Was the guy in sleeping in a missile turret and waking up seeing JD's mutalings?
|
Nah, I didn't come up with them. I've heard quite a few of these, but this one was the best that I remembered. I have a few more though, but I don't really have the time to ask them right now. Maybe later, or if someone wants to help answer? =)

I'll jump in with one, me and my brother have been inventing our own and trying them against each other for the past few days.
Cabin Fever!
A man has been found dead, a bejeweled knife thrust sharply in his chest, an exclamation point to the crime.
Instead of a list of questions, I'll say in order to solve it you'll need to provide an overall description of the case.
