He'd Be Alive Today... a yes/no mystery game A professor of mine played this game with me. It took us about an hour to figure it out. You need to submit questions that I can answer Yes or No.
Here is your clue:
He'd be alive today if he had found the sawdust.
Good luck!

Can I first ask, what course does your professor teach?
As for yes/no questions:
Is it literally sawdust?
Is "the sawdust" a place?
Is it the sawdust trail?
Did his demise have something to do with termites or carpenter ants?

Wild guess:
He was crossing a bridge and didn't notice that someone had sawed through several slats, leaving only a sliver connecting each?

Was the sawdust the remains of a bridge?
Was it being used as an absorbing agent, like when a kid pukes at school?
