Ok we have the what am I thread going how about soem brainteasers.

Same as before who ever guesses it right then asks the next brain teaser.

Ill start you off with a simple one

A man was found murdered on Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and got these alibis:
The Wife said she was sleeping.
The Cook was cooking breakfast.
The Gardener was picking vegetables.
The Maid was getting the mail.
The Butler was cleaning the closet.

The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?

so u have to use ur imagination, as its meant for kids, so dont get all technical over it like my dh did!

so some explorers were going through the jungle and entered a cave. In the cave were 2 perfectly preserved bodies (dont ask me why or how). When they looked at these bodies they discovered they were the first ever humans on earth as there was something very special about them.
How did the explorers know they had found adam & eve

How can you throw a ball as hard as you can and have it come back to you, even if it doesn't bounce off anything? There is nothing attached to it, and no one else catches or throws it back to you.

Heres one to keep you going, slightly harder than the others ive posted

There are three switches downstairs. Each corresponds to one of the three light bulbs in the attic. You can turn the switches on and off and leave them in any position.
How would you identify which switch corresponds to which light bulb, if you are only allowed one trip upstairs?

Gareth
xx

Take a trip up to the attic and get someone else to flick the switches?

:D I know :D (but not saying as I found this one yesterday....)

Take a trip up to the attic and get someone else to flick the switches?

I guess that would work but its not the answer lol, assume your alone with no friedns and no family an no neighbours

mmmm tough one. Lightbulbs give out heat so could this be something to do with it?

i persume there normal lightbulbs /light switches so i personally would use my one trip upstairs and and use the switches up there. probably no were near close. i agree its a tough one.

mmmm tough one. Lightbulbs give out heat so could this be something to do with it?

I think your right.

Leave one on for 5 mins then switch off. Put next one on and go up to attic.

The warm one is the first switch. The on one is the second switch and the off one is the last switch.

I think your right.

Leave one on for 5 mins then switch off. Put next one on and go up to attic.

The warm one is the first switch. The on one is the second switch and the off one is the last switch.

Well done, with the help from Princess :clapping: :clapping:

Oh excellent!

I'll give it to Princess though as i would never have got it without the massive clue :clapping:

Well since the ones who got the last one havent posted one heres another

Heres one for ya's

A bus driver was heading down a street in Colorado. He went right past a stop sign without stopping he turned left where there was a "no left turn" sign and he went the wrong way on a one-way street. Then he went on the left side of the road past a cop car. Still - he didn"t break any traffic laws. Why not?"

cause he was walking?:)

Blimey I am getting clever, I got that one too!

cause he was walking?:)

:clapping: :clapping: your turn sweets :)

me too, but I don't know anything to post :laughing:

Ok heres another, slighlty harder I think

A woman shoots her husband.
Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes.
Finally, she hangs him.
But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How can this be?

ok here goes.


a basket contains 5 apples. do you know how to divide them between 5 kids so that each one has an apple and one apple stays in the basket?

Sorry , went off after i guessed yesterday! heres one almost the same as ddc's but not quite.

Mary has 5 daughters....Nana , Meme , Lili , Koko , . What is the name of the fifth daughter...

liko?...........................

pmsl - giving the child the basket was a joke answer!! :D ok i promise i'll think of a really good one as soon as i stop the kids hitting each other with drum sticks! :thumbsup:

ok - how many times can you subtract the number 5 from 25 ???

Is Mary's 5th daughter Ouou??

one?......

Is Mary's 5th daughter Ouou??

i wondered that - or pupu....... hmmm.......

Oh dear! sorry none of the above!!! interested to know how you got pupu though?!!
The answer is in there!!!

ok - how many times can you subtract the number 5 from 25 ???

Im sure venus was right with one. cos after you take it once then the first number is 20 not 25.

is her daughter mary aswell?

hope someone gets it right. this one is annoying as ive heard it before but just can not remeber the answer lol. will check to see if any gets the answer while im out as ive got to take dd to her ballet lesson now. xx

not mary sorry. think punctuation!

not mary sorry. think punctuation!


Meliko ???

nope.... :p

Is the fifth daughter Dot?

I got pupu or ouou by looking at my keyboard - the vowels were in alphabetical order, the consonants were m and n from the bottom right, k and l from middle right - o and p are on the top right.... Was clutching at straws. Dot is a brilliant answer and if it's wrong it shouldn't be!

Dot or . definately - its there in the question.
and yes you can subtract 5 from 25 once!

juju.......?

or perhaps its Juju?

lol great minds think alike!

lol great minds think alike!

We must be right then:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Think punctuation hey ?


Juju,


??????

An easy one for the 25 question I got right......


What, when you take away the whole, you still have some left over?

wholesome???

wholesome???

:clapping: :clapping: correct

not dot but along the right lines i guess. or juju but that makes sense too. Look at the sentence. it tells you the answer!!!

if its not dot or . is it nothing?

A pregnant lady named her children: Dominique, Regis, Michelle, Fawn, Sophie and Lara. What will she name her next child? Jessica, Katie, Abby or Tilly?

Mary has 5 daughters....Nana , Meme , Lili , Koko . What is the name of the fifth daughter...

trying to think of clues which will help without giving the answer!! All i can say is the answer is right there. and that the punctuation is important. Will check in once the mindees have gone ........

but thats not a name.

WHAT....................

venus...

Someone else can do one for me.........

i won't say what i'm thinking.....

ive got another bit of a riddle


Four legs have I, a sturdy fellow
A fuzzy back that isn't yellow
But (often) green or (rarely) red
A den is where I make my bed
My keepers feed me coloured balls
With sticks they store on my den walls
Sometimes I store them in my pouch
Sometimes deep in my belly; ouch!
That's when you'll see me acting strange
Instead of balls, I'll eat your change
And that's my cue to feed again
Chalk it up to hunger, friend!

a snooker or pool table ??

:clapping: and i thought that was a hard one when i first heard it xxx

ok this is an old one so im sure you'll all know it

Ok I know its not my turn so i applogise but heres one for ya's

As they say, beggars can't be choosers, in fact bums take what they can get. A bum on the street can make one cigarette out of every 6 cigarette butts he finds. After one whole day of searching and checking public ashtrays the bum finds a total of 72 cigarette butts. How many cigarettes can he make and smoke from the butts he found? and why?

ummm.... how about bums don't smoke??? :blush:

ummm.... how about bums don't smoke??? :blush:

like ur thinking but nope

14.............!!

ok - go for the obvious answer, he can make 12 cigs out of 72 butts - then he will have 12 butts left so can make another 2. so 14??

14.............!!

:clapping: :clapping: and well done kindred but she had it first

ok - go for the obvious answer, he can make 12 cigs out of 72 butts - then he will have 12 butts left so can make another 2. so 14??

i didnt think it was obvious i forgot to add the extra 2 :blush:

Ooooohhhh.... couldn't i kill this thread in an instant DDC - your question clearly ended 'any why?' and Nikki didn't give a reason so I'm the winner and queen of the world!!! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Only joking - your turn Nikki!!

haha didnt think the right answer needed a reason..:laughing:

will go and look for another one now...

The Bear
A bear walks south for one kilometer, then it walks west for one kilometer, then it walks north for one kilometer and ends up at the same point from which it started. What color was the bear?

white :thumbsup:

:clapping: :clapping:

true as only place you can walk like this and end up at the same point is the north pole!!

your turn!

I thought about doing that:laughing: :laughing:

I looked it up too as it was bothering me that I couldnt get it...
so obviously I wont answer...

but I still think that there might be more than one valid answer for this one...

pmsl, sorry!!
Yes, he doesn't have a drink - but the question is WHY doesn't he get a drink when most houses have access to a water supply or you could go and get some water from somewhere....... i think i've given it away.

If im right I promise I didnt cheat.

how about this clue (for those who didn't look it up) a man who is surrounded by water died of dehydration in his own home, why?

does he live on a dessert island?

does he live on a dessert island?

so close......

I hope someone will figure it out soon!!!! :D

no he doesn't live on a desert island.

someone else post another one while we're 'solving' this one or we'll be stuck here forever.

Try and work out what the three leetr words could mean

Try and work out what the three leetr words could mean

are they the initials for something? like 'a mere example = pants'?

nope not initials, they are the first 3 letters of a word

for example

rub could be rubbish
sap could be sapling

but there not those :)

Oh and all the words have someting in common

ohh ohh I know what they are!! :clapping: Just not what the equals bit is :(

woo hoo!

Three students check into a hotel and paid £30 for a room (£10 each). When the hotel manager returned he noticed that the clerk had incorrectly charged then £30instead of £25 for the room. The manager told the clerk to return £5 to the students. The clerk, knowing that the students couldn't share it evenly, decided to keep £2 and only give them £3 back.

The students were very happy because they only paid £27 (£9 each) for the room. However, if they paid £27 andthe clerk kept £2, that adds up to £29. What happened to the other pound?

This is the only one I knew and have been trying to think of since this thread started, will leave it for someone else, very clever!!!!!

:blush: sorry :blush:

im confused, i thought they paid £25 for room x

well they paid 30 and got 3 £ each back so really they paid only 27 but 2 are kept by the buttler leaving the hotel owner 25....

well they paid 30 and got 3 £ each back so really they paid only 27 but 2 are kept by the buttler leaving the hotel owner 25....

And 27+2=29 - so where's the last pound got to?

im confused, i thought they paid £25 for room x

that's what they should have paid but they never got all their money back

:blush: sorry :blush:

Oh I meant it nicely in that i am glad someone knew the thing, cos it is clever and had my cm group of friends and i working out for a whole morning at group once, and i was fed up with myself that i couldn't remember it after being so fascinated by it!

And it's one of those ones you really kick yourself over when you find out the answer......

And 27+2=29 - so where's the last pound got to?

but there is no other pound

they paid 27 + 5 =32 - £2 for the clerk is 30

but there is no other pound

they paid 27 + 5 =32 - £2 for the clerk is 30

they didn't pay £32.......

What do you say, BTeam? I'm a bit flummoxed.

3 x 10 = £30, £5 to the clerk makes the room cost £25 plus the £2 that the clerk kept = £27, divide £27 by 3 this is what the men paid (3x9)

The men paid 30-3, the clerk had 2, so if you add 30-3-2, makes the hotel owner get £25 for the room.

30 paid
-25 kept by hotel owner
+3 given back to men (30-3 + 9 per man)
+2 kept by the clerk


The room at £25 divided by the 3 men should have cost them £8.33aprx each, but it cost them £9 each (3x9 =27) because the remaing 67p aprx each went to pay the clerk the £2.

Not sure how well i have explained this!:laughing:

Yep... there was no pound..... I wasn't sure about Blackhorses reasoning.....

they paid 30 £ to the hotel

should have been 25 but they dont know that

so when the clerk gives them back 3 £ they only think ...oh we paid 9 pound fo the room...when really they didnt....as they dont know about the things clerk did

25 for the room
3 change back
2 for the clerk

makes 30

it is really hard to explain...let alone to understand to begin with so no worries...:D

it is a really really good one though

they paid 30 £ to the hotel

Nope not 8 or 0

nope, and u cnat keep guessing every number lol you have to give me a reason why u think its that :P

nope, and u cnat keep guessing every number lol you have to give me a reason why u think its that :P

6?

Will give my reason if it's right!! :laughing:

it could be, depedning on the reason

I will hold tight and let Orksie think a bit more then :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I will hold tight and let Orksie think a bit more then :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

lol does this mean you dont have a reason???

Orksie has been thinking SO hard over the answer :laughing:


Ok, well I got to 6 by looking at numbrs opposite each other on the outside edges (ignored the middle ones) either +1 or -1 in a pattern.

Hard to explain and prob wrong anyway :D :laughing:

I had to stop looking at this sqaure...it made me :angry: coz I couldnt find the number....:laughing: :laughing:

Ok its not just orksie who confsued, i am now lol

but no thats not the way :P

So we know the answer is 6 can anyoen tell me why???

i think i know the answer why it is 6 but not v.good at explaining. at the end of each row/column the number is 1 above or below the other end so where the missing 6 is at the end of the row going up is 7 and the one going across is 5 making missing number is 6. if you follow it works for every line/column

But that's our reason :D :laughing:

Waiting for Orksies :laughing:

pfffttttttt my question so only my reason goes lol :p

so is 6 correct but for the wrong reason or do we need another number altogether?????????????????

so is 6 correct but for the wrong reason or do we need another number altogether?????????????????

6 is correct it was just the reason that was wrong, altho ur reason was clever and i liked it just not the reason i have

Ha I'm back and I have no idea:laughing: :laughing:

Apart from...... the answer is 6 because it is:D

The answer is 6 because Gareth said so.

there!!

Ok it is 6 because...................




Every small square adds up to 20, by that i mean if u take a square of four numbers say top left it wud be 2 5 7 6 = 20 top right 9 1 2 8 = 20. Every little square is 20, the bottom right is 7 3 4 ? that comes to 14 so the answer has to be 6.

Not very good at explaining that hope it makes sense

Imagine you are in a room, no doors windows or anything,
how do you get out?

There are three switches downstairs. Each corresponds to one of the three light bulbs in the attic. You can turn the switches on and off and leave them in any position.
How would you identify which switch corresponds to which light bulb, if you are only allowed one trip upstairs?

There was a old man who lived by himself. He felt tired so he went into the bathroom, went to the toilet and then turned the light off before going to bed. The next morning there was a news flash on the radio that a boat crashed. The man opened the window and jumped out. Why?

Had he turned the lighthouse light off?

Well, as nobody has posted one for a while, here's another.....

Pirate Captain Fred and his band of scurvy sea dogs were sailing the seven seas, just like normal for a Wednesday afternoon. "Arrghh, there be the smell o' doubloons, lads, I feels it in me bones," exclaimed Fred. Just moments later, actually it was 5 hours, but moments for the sake of the story, there was a cry from the crow's nest. "Ship ahoy, ship ahoy," shouted Pirate Rook. Sure enough the ship came further and further into view. "Arrrrghhhh, that be the scallywag landlubber, Pirate Ecnic. Load them cannon lads, there's gunna' be fireworks," yelled Fred.

The ships came together, and all manner of swashbucklin' ensued. Captain Fred won the day, which surprised everyone, including himself, and the victorious scoundrels looted Ecnic's ship. "Cap'n, Cap'n we gots a map, a treasure map. It say it be the map o' Beigebeard 'imself," roared a few of the crew. "But the final secret I takes to Davy Jones' locker," howled Ecnic, whilst being assisted to disembark, and with that he stepped off the end of the plank.

The crew followed the map's directions and they eventually found themselves in a graveyard, but there the clues ran out. It was a clear night, with a full moon, and the time was about midnight. They searched by candlelight and discovered it was full of Beigebeard's family. There were the graves of Beigebeard himself, his first wife, his second wife, his 9 official children, his 37 unofficial children, his 3 brothers, his 7 sisters and a host of cousins, uncles, aunts, nephews and nieces. "What is we to do, Cap'n," asked the mangy crew. "Arrrrrrghhhhhh, start diggin', o'er there," bellowed Fred.

Where had Fred told them to dig for the treasure?

At the grave of his first wife ?...........X (ex) marks the spot?

A quickie before I cook dinner....


A man walks into a shop and asks the shopkeeper how much one would cost. The shopkeeper replies "£1.20", so the man asks how much three would cost. The shopkeeper replies "£2.40". The man then asks for one hundred and thirty and hands £3.60 to the shopkeeper. What was he buying?

You have the misfortune to own an unreliable clock- it loses 24 minutes every hour. At the moment it shows 3am and you know it was correct at midnight when you set it. However, the clock stopped one hour ago....... so what is the correct time now?

Ok so for every hour that passed the clock only showed 36mins gone. After 180 'clock' minutes (when it showed 3am) it should actually have been 300 real minutes ie 5am. And if the clock stopped an hour ago it would make it 6am :D

A man walks into a pub and sits down at the bar, and simply orders a water. The bartender looks at the man, and then, quickly pulls out a shotgun and points it at the man. The man says "Thank you," and leaves. Why did they behave this way?

sorry i know its not my turn but heres one dont think its already been posted.


There are a few trees in a garden. On one of them (a pear tree) there are pears (quite logical). But after a strong wind blew, there were neither pears on the tree nor on the ground.
How come?

if there was only 2 pears and one fell off then there would only be a pear on the tree and a pear or the ground so no pears (plural) i think

if there was only 2 pears and one fell off then there would only be a pear on the tree and a pear or the ground so no pears (plural) i think




sorry not the right answer

Could it be the pear tree that used to hang over our fence from next doors so the pears fell into our garden?...yum!

sorry not the right answer

Thought that that was the right answer!!

still think im right!:p

or is it stuck in a big tornado?

did they maybe fall into the pond?

did they maybe fall into the pond?



sorry this is the first time been able to get on the forum tonight computer messing about.

this is the correct answer they fell into the pond that was also in the garden, so they didn't land on the ground but in the water. xx

here is another one

the ambassadors chauffeur, Finch, notched up 15951 miles on his mileometer and noticed that this number was palindromic, reading the same backwards as forwards. As surprised as he was to have noticed this fairly rare occurrance , he was even more surprised when after a further 2 hours' drive another palindromic number appeared.

what was Finch's average speed in those 2 hours?

is it 55 mph?

55mph

The next palandromic number will be 16061 which is 110 miles after.

is it 55 mph?

oh pooped i took ages to type it out!

is it 55 mph?

you are good!!

the next palindromic number is 16061 so the difference is 110 miles which makes an average of 55 mph!!!

:clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

55mph

The next palandromic number will be 16061 which is 110 miles after.
