The answer did not seem to be here, so I will ask again: What is the answer?

Hello,
 
I made this same mistake when I first looked at the forums. You have to check the other pages of threads. On the second page, you can find this:

It's a thinker, but I wouldn't say it's one of the best on the site...

See, if we had an anonymous puzzle rating system, then I could just give the "Poison Drinks" problem a zero, and be done with it  Tongue
 
But we don't, so I have no choice but to publicly confront you. C'mon, the poison was in the ice cubes Huh What sort of an answer is that?
 
[/trash talk]
 
On a more serious note, before I found this site, I would have rated the "Poison Drinks" problem pretty high--but I hadn't seen most of the amazing puzzles William has put on the site!

I think the ans is they didn't wait long enough.
 
The first guy died 15 min after he left, since he was drinking for 15 min, and the second guy died in 30 min.
 
What ya think of that? Huh? How you like me now biatch!

The poison was in the ICE.
 
The guy drank too fast, before the ice had a chance to melt and release the poison.
The brothers waited for minutes before drinking, giving the ice enough time to melt.  
 
 
Unrelated: what's with the cowboy hat smileys?  Huh

I kinda liked the St. Paddy's day ones myself (I don't recall him doing that this year, but I may have just missed it.)
