    YES (but not necessarily kids, or "toys" exactly. So actually, no. ). Veeeery close. But what about the $50?

    Now i am more confused than before.

    So .....

    Are they playing?
    Is it a situation that can apply to both kids and adults?
    The car and the house are toys or not?

    They're playing.
    Can apply to both kids and adults, yes.
    The car and the house are pieces in a larger game.

    In this particular situation are they adults? Or is it relevant wether they are adults or kids?

    So they are playing near a railway, one man is pushing a car smaller than normal cars. He cannot drive it because he is bigger than the car. He stops in front of a house (the house is smaller than usual houses) and gives the owner of the house 50 dollars.

    Are they on some kind of playing ground with miniature cars, houses, trains, etc?

    Ok...first time in this game but let me see here if I can give a solution-

    Is the person is in a store and sees a model village with the house and railroad and car- pushes the car in front of the house, decides he wants to buy the set and pays the owner of the store- therefore the house as well- $50 for it....?

    or am I completely off?

    Oh yah, I realized that a few minutes after posting it...my bad.

    Is it extremely relevant that the house is green? Or is it only slightly relevant?

    An update on what we know-


    Positive Statements
    1. He knew the owner of the house before.
    2. He owed the money to the owner.
    3. There is nothing wrong with the car, but the man is pushing it.
    4.The house is near a railroad.
    5. The man gave the money to the owner of the house and was not paying a toll to get across the railroad.
    6. The house is GREEN
    7. The car is as big as the house (in size)
    8. The railroad is a clue to setting.
    9. the house is MUCH smaller than usual ones (as is the car).
    10.This IS a real/possible situation
    11. The setting is relevant
    12. They are people (not necessarily kids) playing with something (not necessarily toys)
    13. Can apply to both kids and adults, yes.
    14. The car and the house are pieces in a larger game.

    Negative Statements
    1. They do not have a bet.
    2. He does not pay him for a service; he does not get anything in return.
    3. He did not run over anything that belonged to the owner of the house.
    4. The owner is not blackmailing him.
    5. No one was in the car.
    6. He didn't destroy or take something that belonged to the owner.
    7. The fact that man pushed the car there has nothing to do with the $50.
    8. The guy didn't run out of gas.
    9. The owner wasn't expecting the guy to drop by.
    10. He wasn't giving the owner change.
    11. The owner of the house doesn't sell anything.
    12. It's not related to the railroad.
    13. The man was not a giant.
    14. There is a reason, other than money, for the man to be pushing the car not driving

    Question

    Very good.

    So we pretty much established the setting, the fact that they are playing..... We need the reason for the money.

    Is the money part of the game they are playing?
    Does the 'owner' of the house do someting with the money?

    Is it real money?
    Is it play money?
    Is the money counterfeit?
    Was the owner expecting the money earlier?
    Was the guy planning on paying the owner before he pushed the car in front of the owner's house?

    Hi everyone! Long time since my last visit to the forum!!!

    I love this kind of games ^_^

    Are they playing Monopoly?? The owner of the car has fallen in a square (near the train station?) that belongs to another player, and the fee is 50$..
    Is that so??

    So was this unfair from the start? Do you international folks have a reasonable knowledge of Monopoly?
