The recent game threads have been fun and see to have garnered a bit of interest/frustration in equal measure so here's another one...

If you already know the solution then please don't reveal it straight away.

Somebody pushes a car to a hotel. When they arrive there, they become bankrupt

What is going on?

Got it

The car owes money to the hotel and defrauds the somebody pushing it. They’re made bankrupt by parking fines. I have no idea 😂

Answers so far:
Where somebody lives isn’t relevant.
No, somebody hasn’t run out of fuel.
No, somebody hasn’t committed a crime.
Yes, somebody owes money to the hotel.
Yes, the car is small.

I did see the comment by AgingLikeGazpacho on the thread in edit history but no idea how it’s relevant and I won’t mention it here.

My next Q:
Is the somebody an adult or a child?

OOOOOOH my own question made me realise the answer, I don’t even need it confirming

BakeOffRewatch · 13/01/2026 21:01

That’s the first one I’ve totally got on my own whoohoo
