Brain Activities

Ive been asked to think about these riddles and give my answer to each. I like this kind of riddles, but Im not that great at solving them. But these four I actually kinda got pretty fast, or I think I did. I did also visit another site recommended by my teacher and that was much harder! But so much fun! And so many “aaah” moments!

  • A man is replacing a wheel on his car, when he accidentally drops the four nuts used to hold the wheel on the car. They fall into a deep drain, irretrievably lost. A passing girl offers him a solution that enables him to drive home. What is it?
    • She offers him to drive her car (if she passes with a car).
    • If he takes one nut from each of the other 3 wheels it will hold the rest of the way home.
  • Two Russians walk down a street in Moscow. One Russian is the father of the other Russian’s son. How are they related?
    • Man and wife (or man and man, wife and wife, but hey, its Russia)
  • What occurs once in June, once in July and twice in August?
    • The letter “u”.
  • Six drinking glasses stand in a row, with the first three full of water and the next three empty. By handling and moving only one glass at a time, how can you arrange the six glasses so that no full glass stands next to another full glass, and no empty glass stands next to another empty glass? What is the minimum number of moves to solve this puzzle?
    • If you pour half of the water in glass number two in glass number 5, you got: 1. full, 2: half full, 3 full, 4 empty, 5 half full, 6 empty. Thats one move.

I don’t have the solition to the questions, but I believe I covered them good. If you got any other answers I would love to hear them! So please comment below!
