Clearly she is employed in a job that requires a set routine and the new shoes changed her routine. Thus they had deadly results when something routine was to occur. The change also had to be something she would not have considered when she bought them. Something simple like a change in height or stance.

Was she William Tells wife?

Her previous shoes held magical properties that she didn't recognize, and because she wasn't wearing them when she needed them, she ended up being torn to shreds by flying monkeys under the command of a wicked witch?

So right job, wrong sport? Magicians apprentice or knife throwers target?[/QUOTE]

You got it! Knife thrower's target. Man, you're good.

See, this is what lateral thinking puzzles are meant to be like. A few details that, when reasoned out and questioned correctly, lead you to the answer. Not ones where you have to guess a person's entire back-story without any sort of clue.

A healthy woman and her kids go camping. Later the next day the kids find her dead. How did she die?

did her death have anything to do with the environment she was camping in?

Nope. Another note. There was nothing else in the tent with her except for the sleeping bag and a pillow. Neither of which had anything to do with her death.

She had a torrid love affair with a bear and died of shame when she realized that her family, which is part salmon, would never accept her actions.

Not in Yellowstone and yes, perfectly reasonable. In fact, this is from a real case where the police were baffled....for a short time.

Ooh! was the tent airtight, and she suffocated in it?

If not, did the death have anything to do with her tent?

Carbon monoxide poisoning?

Edit: or methane gas? Did she leave a gas lantern on inside the tent?
