before you look up the answers! :)
QUESTIONS:
1-
Three kids from Bristol went for a walk. About a mile into the walk,
they came to a deep, wide river. There was no bridge. They didn’t have a
boat or raft, or any materials to make one. None of them could swim.
How did they get across?2- Brothers and sisters I have none but this man's father is my father's son. Who is the man?
3- 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.
4- A man who lives on the tenth floor takes the elevator down to the first floor every morning and goes to work. In the evening, when he comes back; on a rainy day, or if there are other people in the elevator, he goes to his floor directly. Otherwise, he goes to the seventh floor and walks up three flights of stairs to his apartment. Can you explain why?
So the last one is my favourite:
5-Imagine you are in a dark room. How do you get out?
ANSWERS
1- It was winter. The river was frozen and they walked across.
2-The man is my son.
3-Throw the ball straight up in the air.
4-(This is one of the more popular and most celebrated of all lateral thinking logic puzzles. It is a true classic. Although there are many possible solutions that fit the conditions, only the canonical answer is truly satisfying.)
The man is of short stature. He can't reach the upper elevator buttons, but he can ask people to push them for him. He can also push them with his umbrella.
5-Stop imagining.
