[Khandro]

There is Khandro Flying Fickle Finger of Fate Award to the first explanation;
A man and his son are in a car accident, the man dies, the son is injured and taken to hospital. The surgeon says, "I can't operate on this boy, he is my son".

[Tilly2]

The surgeon is his mother.

[Khandro]

Posed at 8:26, answered at 8:27. Pretty good sandy. (it took me longer).
Your award will be presented with due ceremony at a venue to be announced later.

[naomi24]

The surgeon is the mother.

[Tilly2]

Doesn't mine count then?
Have you got any more puzzles?

[naomi24]

Oops ... didn't see the other answers there.

[grasscarp]

This has been asked on answerbank a few times over the years.

[grasscarp]

The surgeon could also be the civil partner of the man, so another man!

//The surgeon could also be the civil partner of the man, so another man!//
I'm a bit late seeing this grasscarp, but then the boy wouldn't be his son.

[Khandro]

PS. If as you say this puzzle has been on here before, I must retrospectively ask sandy if he actually worked it out, or was he cognisant of the answer beforehand. If this is the case, the award is therefor null and void, and could even possibly go to Tilly.

[Tilly2]

No Khandro. I don't deserve to win. I've seen it before. That's why I asked if you had any more puzzles.

[sandyRoe]

I don't deserve the award, either. May I nominate Naomi?

can't be much of a prize, nobody seems to want it

[Tilly2]

Now I've spilled my tea, ael! That really made me laugh.

I think that is hardly fair, it isn't that the contestants do not want this prestigious award, it's their downright decency and honesty preventing them from doing so.

[grasscarp]

The boy could be the son of a civil partner. These days anything is possible!
