The problem:
A serial killer kidnapped five different people and sat them down each with two pills in their hand and a glass of water. He told them each to take one pill but warned them that one was poisonous and the other was harmless. Whichever pill the victim didn’t take, the serial killer would take. Every victim somehow chose the poisonous pill and died. How did the serial killer get them all to take the poisonous pill?
The Answer:Answer
Neither of the pills was poisonous. The poison was in the water that all the victims used to swallow their pill.

I have read about a similar mystery in a riddle book, but instead of pills and a glass of water, it was ice cubes and water, and it made you think the water was poisoned when it was actually the ice cubes.
So my theory right now is that it's actually the water that is poisoned, and not the pills? If it is truly that, then the riddle is tryna mislead you very hard with how many times they mention poisonous pills, so im not actually 100% sure it's that.
