LATERAL THINKING

A man is lying dead in a field. Next to him there is an unopened package. There is no other creature in the field. How did he die?

ANSWER
There was a package dropped from an overflying Chopper. The packet hit the person in the field and he was knocked dead. The man had jumped from a plane but his parachute had failed to open. It is the unopened package. The man is highly allergic to plant growth in the field and it suffocated him. The package is just something he was carrying and has no implication to the puzzle.

An American nightclub called 'The Coconut Grove' had a terrible fire in which over 400 people died. A simple design flaw in the building led to the death toll being so high. Subsequently, regulations were changed to ensure that all public buildings throughout the country eliminated this one detail which proved so deadly. What was it?

ANSWER
The doors at 'The Coconut Grove' opened inward. In the mad panic to escape the fire, people were crushed against the doors and could not pull them open. After 'The Coconut Grove' disaster in 1942, all public buildings had to have doors which opened outward.
