OK, if you already know this one, please don't ruin it for other people or anything. That would suck. If you don't know it but think you know the answer, then PM me. You get one guess. Well, you can have one guess per 30 posts in this thread. :p

Now. The rules are simple - you can ask me only yes/no questions. You have to figure out why a man pushed his car up to a hotel and saw his children. He then realised that he'd lost everything. Bring on the questions. :)

Is there any other object other than the children, the car and the hotel in the environment that you haven't told us about?

Is his wife involved in the riddle?

No.

Did his children run up a hotel bill?
No. Assuming 'running up a hotel bill' is stuff like 'doing stuff at a hotel that costs a lot of money' or something, and not actually running up a hotel bill... somehow.

Were the children being arrested by cops?

Did any of the children possess a firearm?

Did the man remember to eat breakfast?

Is the hotel more than 10 feet tall?

When he "lost everything", does that include his <strike>hair</strike> arms, legs, and other extremities?

I think I know this one, if I get the answers I want. :moose:

Doomsday, Kirobaito and omnitarian (as well as a couple of people in chat) have guessed it correctly so far, so I suppose I should let you all in on the answer.

Anyone here play Monopoly?

Does the answer have anything to do with money?

The man and his children (and others, I guess) were playing Monopoly. The man was using the car as his place-holder-thingy. He moved the car onto a 'street' which was owned by one of his children, and he ran out of money while paying her for the stay he had to have at the hotel, thus losing everything.
