  • Brain Teasers

    First one to get them all right wins

    *There are 15 sparrows, 7 blackbirds, 2 bluejays, 2 Cardinals, and 1 Mocking bird in a tree. You shoot 3 sparrows, 1 black bird, and 1 cardinal. How many of each bird are left in the tree?

    *You have 5 diamonds. 1 is fake and you can only tell by measuring their weights (the fake one ways less). All you have is a scale, and you can only measure twice. How do you find out which diamond is fake

    *Which weighs more a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?

    *STANDS

      3/5 is not bad. I love #2 it so simple yet so hard. Think of 4 as a puzzle that makes a word

        For two:

        What if you weigh two of them. If they both weigh the same, those are both real; put them aside. Weigh the other two, if they both weigh the same, those are both real; put them aside. The remaining one is the fake on. Or if you spot one that weighs less during these comparisons, that's the fake one.

          yeah i guess that works, though it isn't what the answer is supposed to be, maybe I not remembering the riddle correctly....But it's supposed to be, you weigh 4 diamonds at the same time, 2 on each side, if the sides are equal the 5th one is fake, and if one side weighs less, then one of those are fake, and you weigh those two to find out.

          for #4, think of the number sequence and where it's placed

            That makes sense.

            I don't know 4. Is "STANDS" part of it? Don't you put 1 in the empty place?

                  lol, I guess it's only fitting that you wouldn't considering what the answer was
