G1) Brain Warmer Upper
A man went into a party and drank some of the punch. The man then left early. Everyone at the party who drank the punch subsequently died of poisoning except for him. No one added anything to the punch after it was originally prepared. Why did the man not die?
Answer to last week's puzzle:
Harry Potter, like all other books, has odd-numbered pages on the right. Therefore, pages 15 and 16 are the front and back of a single page, and nothing could have been found between them.

READING TUTOR
My name is Iveth Ortiz and I am a Christian certified special educator with a background in reading intervention. Teaching reading to struggling readers has been something that I have truly enjoyed over the past couple of years. I have recently left my teaching position in the public school system to launch a reading intervention tutoring business in Berrien County for private schools and homeschoolers. I currently serve the private schools in Berrien Springs but I am also serving homeschool families. I would like to share my services with homeschooling families in Niles. I give a FREE consultation and initial assessment to the child to determine the reading level. Then, if the parents decide to join, I will provide tutoring in reading to the child from my home office in Berrien Springs.
Here is my website: www.inspiredreaders.org
