And back on popular demand, here's riddle #2. It's not as good as the first one in my opinion, but maybe you enjoy it. Right, here goes:

A man hangs his coat and knows with much certainty that he will die shortly, and that it will likely be a painful death.

He couldn't afford for an aquarium?

As much sense as that would make (I too walk in a house, look at the coat rack and think: oh noooo, I'll die shortly a really painful death because I can't afford an aquarium), the answer's no on that one.

You're right. I am sorry. I'll never sleep again to make up for the time difference, like BettaCouple. I've been sloppy, will you forgive me?

Poor me, have pity ya riddle hungry mob!

This one's not as good as you basically need to fire a whole bunch of random questions at me, and you'll get there like a shot as soon as I answer yes. It's no to all of your questions below unfortunately.

does the coat rack remind him of something? can the coat rack kill? does his occupation have something to do with it? does the coat rack trigger a trap or something similiar?

He he he, wasn't sure if you guys liked guessing. I actually am not that good/keen on being the guessor, but being the 'guessee', that's another story!

Was he trapped in the building?
No

No

OK, I'll steer your questions a bit. Ask about the clothes on the coat rack.

He had his coat on and by hanging the coat he was hanging himself?
Was ther some sort of poison on the clothes? When he touched it, it kills slowly?

Nope

does he know the person who wants to kill him?
No, and that fact could give you a clue as to where to go with the questions, although it's easier when you know the answer of course.

is it a matter of revenge?
No

is it a matter of their 'careers'? is money involved?
No

What type of violence? murder? torture?
He's not sure. All he knows is it will be violent and he's very unlikely to get out alive.

What is the private group? government?
No

What is the building he is in? his house? The private groups building?
Irrelevant. The group guys could be in his house, or he could be in the house of one of the group guys, or he could be in the group's house.

Is he part of any group?
No

No, no, I can still see your gif. It hasn't stopped.

No, you don't have to find how he died, but why he's so sure he's going to die, and who he thinks will do it.
