We certainly have made a habit out of not using our brains very often
and therefore I feel it is important for us to take them on a spin
every once in a while. The best way to do is play some puzzle games oh
even strategy games would do. Many different board games will really get
your mind working for example, Chess. But this particular list is not
about different board games or other such stuff. Listed below, are ten
brain teasers that are proven to be very difficult. Believe me; I had to
think loads for solving them. They practically get you tired. Now the
answers to all of them can be found online but before you glimpse at the
answers, I would ask you to please give it your best before you look at
the answers and please don’t cheat.
There is this man who goes to his backyard in the middle of the
night. He then fires a gun and because of his weird behavior, he never
sees the sunrise ever again. Now, let me make it clear to you folk, that
he did not kill himself. Sticking to that theory, can you explain why
he couldn’t ever see the sunrise?
There is this man who walks into a bar. He goes to the bartender and
asks for a glass of water. Then, the bartender reaches under the bar and
takes out a gun. He points the gun straight at the man. The man looks
at him and says ‘thank you’. He leaves after thanking him. What in the
world happened do you think?
A man goes to a mall and buys three pairs or red socks and three
pairs of white socks. This another man with who already bought the three
pairs of red and three pairs of white socks, came back to return those
six pairs of socks. Both of these men were blind and as they were
leaving, they bumped into each other and the socks were scattered all
across the floor. The pairs remained intact though because of the rubber
band. In three minutes, both the men had three pairs of red socks and
three pairs of white. If nobody helped them, how did they manage do it?
General Custer is the only cowboy left and he is surrounded by
Indians. He finds a lamp, rubs it and a Genie comes out. He says he’ll
grant him his wishes but whatever he wishes for, the Indians will get
two of the same thing. He stands there thinking for a while and then
rubs the lamp again. The genie asks him for his wish. What do you think
must General Custer have asked for in order to escape from the Indians?
Two men were working at a construction site and were pretty mad at
each other. They confronted each other at lunch. The stronger one of the
guys said, ‘I’ll bet you hundred dollars that anything you can wheel to
that cone and back, I can wheel twice as far. Do we have a bet?’ The
man looked around; he saw a pile of 400 bricks, a steel beam, ten other
men and ten bags of concrete. He thought for a while and then said yes.
The guy who bet 100 dollars, lost. How did that happen?
The pope has it but he does not use it; your father has it but your
mother uses it; nuns do not need it; Arnold Schwarzenegger has a big
one; Michael J. Fox’s is quite small. What is this thing?
Sherlock was sitting by a fire on a cold snowy night. A snowball
comes through his window and breaks it. He gets up, looks out and sees
the neighborhood kids who were brothers run a corner. They were John,
Mark and Paul Crimson. There was a note stuck to his door the very next
day that said “Crimson. He broke your window.” Now, which one of these
three Crimson brothers, Sherlock Holmes should question?
A father goes to his sons (three) and tells them he would die soon
and that he needed to decide which son the property will go to. He gives
them all a test. He asks his sons to go to the market and buy something
that is large enough to fill his bedroom and small enough to fill their
pocket. The object of the task was to decide on the wisest son. So they
went to the market and came back home and each of them had a different
item. The father asks them to come to his bedroom one by one and try to
fill his bedroom. The first son brought in pieces of cloth but they
could hardly cover any of the floor. The second son came in with some
hay but it was only enough to cover half the floor. The third son won.
He was the wisest and completed the task. What did the third son buy?
A servant lived with his master in West Lake village. After thirty
years of service, he learned that his master was sick and would die. The
master calls for the servant and asks of him to make just one wish and
gave him a day to think about it. The servant discussed this with her
mother who was blind. She asked him to wish for an eye. The servant
discusses this with her wife and she asked him to wish for a son. The
servant went to his father and he asked him to wish for a lot of money.
He made one with the next day and fulfilled the wishes of his father,
mother and wife. What did he wish for?
Pirate Pete was sentenced to death by a Spanish General by his firing
squad of fifty people. They had the reputation of being the worst
firing squad in the Spanish military. The tradition was to allow one
shot per man to save ammunition and they would end up missing those and
would usually just maim the target who would eventually bleed to death.
He begged for mercy at the thought of the painful death. “Very well, I
have some compassion. You may choose where the men stand when they shoot
you and I will add 50 extra men to the squad to ensure someone will at
least hit you. Perhaps if they stand closer they will kill you quicker,
if you’re lucky,” snickered the general. “Oh, and just so you don’t get
any funny ideas, they can’t stand more than 20 feet away, they must be
facing you, and you must remain tied to the post in the middle of the
yard. And to show I’m not totally heartless, if you aren’t dead by
sundown I’ll release you so you can die peacefully outside the compound.
I must go now but will return tomorrow and see to it that you are
buried in a nice spot, though with 100 men, I doubt there will be much
left of you to bury.” He was set free because of where he made the 100
men stand. Now, where was it?
