Por que ao darmos a solução para determinados enigmas conseguimos compreender imediatamente que a resposta está correta sem ao menos dar uma conferida?

"Of course, the questions do not necessitate the right
answers, which means that the intended answer is in a sense conjectural. But if
the puzzle is a good one, the natural answer is obvious once the right question
has been asked. Here is an example (Sloane and MacHale, 1996, p. 32):
A man walked into a bar and asked the barman for a glass of water. They had never
met before. The barman pulled a gun from under the counter and pointed it at the
man. The man said “Thank you” and walked out.Why should that be so?"
