A man pushed his car. When he reached a hotel he stopped, at which point he knew he was bankrupt. How?

Did he push his car over a ledge, and all his money was in it?

Did he push the car to the hotel with him?

Was the car a car, as in a vehicle? Ooooo. Be more specific so I don't mislead. My preliminary answer is no.

Did he push his car over a ledge, and all his money was in it? No.

Did he push the car to the hotel with him? Hey! I didn't even think of that, but that's savvy of you to notice! The question DOES separate the two sentences, so it is possible that pushing the car and reaching the hotel were two different events. The answer is YES, he did push the car to the hotel, but that question shows why you guys are getting these so fast now!

I leave for karate in about 30 min, but I'll check in when I get back (9:30 my time PST)

No, that's not it!

Was the car an object with wheels that a person of age can drive?

Was it a train car?

Was it a car to something besides an object with wheels that a person of age can drive?

Is the car relevant to why he is bankrupt?

Did he try to pay for a hotel room before he knew he was bankrupt?

Does he own the hotel and saw the bank reposessed it so he knew he had no money?
