Are you referring to an automobile car (as a smoking car could kill someone, especially if it was in a boxcar)
Is it relevant where the train will be arriving?

Yes we are talking about the kind of car that hitches up to a train and no, we are not talkabout about an automobile. No is it not relevant where the train will be arriving.

Is the man traveling with anyone?

Are there other people in the car with him?

Is the man traveling with anyone? No.

Are there other people in the car with him? Yes.

Did anyone else in the car die? Is the the only survivor? The the smoke prevent something?

No one else died. Rephrase the last question please, I'm not sure I get it! If you were asking "Did the smoke prevent something?" then I'll say yes.

ETA... Actually no, the smoke didn't prevent something. Sorry guys!

hmmm. Looks like I need a nap. And yeah.... DID THE.... ah well. And that was a silly question because obviously the smoke prevented him from dying.... ugh.

Did the man have a disease that the smoke cured? (odd yeah... shhh)

Did the man have a disease that the smoke cured? (odd yeah... shhh) No, but that would be weird!

Yah. I'm on the abstract now.

Okay... Does the train go too high into the mountains and the smoke keeps some oxygen in the train car so the people don't suffocate? (not that smoke makes oxygen.... Like I said... I'm on the odd path)

Uh no.

Think smaller questions. There are other parts of the question aside from the smoke.

Actually, you know what... I take back an answer... the SMOKE did not prevent something. Sorry, apparently MY brain is asleep, sorry sorry!

Does the man himself smoke?

Are the windows in the car open?

Are there a lot of people in the car smoking?

Are the cigarettes poisoned?

Does the man himself smoke? No.

Are the windows in the car open? I don't think it matters but I guess yes?

Are there a lot of people in the car smoking? I'd say yes.

Are the cigarettes poisoned? No.

you said the destination was not important, how about the departure?

1. is his departing switzerland relevant?
2. if he is departing switzerland, did he go there for a specific purpose?
3. did something happen to him in switzerland?
4. did he contract a disease of any kind?


grasping at straws...

1. I'm not sure. I would say no.
2. Yes he did go to Switzerland for a specific purpose.
3. Yes something did happen to him in Switzerland.
4. No he didn't contract a disease of any kind.

Just wanted to add... the more I think about this riddle, the stupider it sounds. So I'm apologizing in advance... it's such a lame scenario that would probably never happen. Blah.

Was he told that he had to smoke on the way home or he would be killed???

No idea where I'm pulling that from...
