- Ein Mann in einem Restaurant fragte einen Kellner nach einem Glas Saft, einen Teller, Wasser, einem Streichholz und einer Zitronenscheibe. Der Mann goss genug Wasser auf den Teller, um es zu bedecken. "Wenn Sie das Wasser auf der Platte in dieses Glas ohne Berührung oder Bewegung des Tellers bekommen, gebe ich Ihnen 100€", sagte der Mann. "Sie können das Streichholz und die Zitrone verwenden, um dies zu tun." Ein paar Minuten später hatte der Kellner 100€ in der Tasche. Wie bekam der Kellner das Wasser in das Glas? Zuerst steckte der Kellner das Streichholz in die Zitronenscheibe, so dass es gerade stehen konnte. Dann zündete er das Streichholz und stellte es in die Mitte des Tellers Platte mit der Zitrone. Dann stellte er das Glas auf den Kopf über das Streichholz. Als die Flamme den Sauerstoff in dem Glas verbrauchte, erzeugt es einen kleinen Unterdruck, der das Wasser in den Raum zwischen Glas und Teller saugte. Somit bekam der Kellner das Wasser in das Glas ohne das Berühren oder Bewegen des Tellers.
- Ein Feuerwehrmann steht auf der mittleren Sprosse einer Leiter, und löscht ein brennendes Haus. Er klettert 6 Sprossen hoch bevor die Hitze der Flammen ihn dazu zwingen 10 Sprossen runterzuklettern. Nach einigen Minuten kann er wieder 18 Sprossen nach ganz oben klettern. Wie viele Sprossen hat die Leiter? 29 Sprossen Der Feuerwehrmann steht in der Mitte der Leiter. Er geht 6 Sprossen hoch. Damit ist er auf Sprosse M+6 Danach geht er wieder 10 Sprossen runter, so dass er auf Sprosse M-4 ist. Nachdem er die 18 Sprossen hochgegangen ist, ist er auf M+14=T. 14 Sprossen von oben, 14 Sprossen vom Boden und die mittlere Sprosse: 14+14+1=29
- Wie kann man die folgende Gleichung wahr machen, indem man nur eine gerade Linie zeichnet: 5 + 5 + 5 = 550 Kannst du es herausfinden? Ziehe eine Linie auf dem ersten Plus-Zeichen. Das verwandelt es zu einer 4. Die Gleichung wird dann richtig: 545 + 5 = 550.
- Ersetze alle "x" mit den Ziffern 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 und 6, um die folgende Erklärung wahr zu machen. xx * x = xxx Lösung: 54 * 3 = 162
- Ein Mann fiel in ein 30 Meter tiefen Brunnen und überlebte. Sein Freund gab ihm ein Seil. Der Mann war in der Lage, 3 Meter zu klettern, rutschte aber alle 5 min wieder 1,5 Meter zurück. Wie viel Zeit wird er brauchen, um aus dem Brunnen zu klettern? 100 Minuten. Der Mann steigt absolut 1,5 Meter in 5 min. Die Steigung ist 0,3. (1,5 : 5). Wir können die Funktion herleiten: f (t) = 0,3 t f (t) = 30 => t = 100
- Illusive Questions Illusive questions They create illusions and draw your attention to insignificant details. Key is to realize the illusion and quickly identify the important details you overlooked at first sight Tracy’s mother had four children. One child was name April. The second one is May. The third is June. What‘s the fourth one’s name? - Tracy An electric train is traveling on a 2000-mile journey from Chicago, IL to Los Angeles, CA. It has 16 cars with a total of 320 passengers. The weather is cloudy and cool, with a warm front approaching from the south. Which direction will the steam blow?- There is no steam in electric train
- Visual-explanation questions Visual-explanation questions often provide you with weird and “impossible” situations and your task is to think of a story that “explains” all the facts. Key to cracking these questions is a little creativity and imagination. CREATIVITY Don’t be afraid to tell bold and unordinary “stories”, as long as they do explain the situation. “A man is lying dead in the middle of a forest, in the middle of a puddle, in a scuba suit. How did he die?” =>he was swimming in a sea and a tornado picked him up and dropped him in a middle of a forest. A woman and a daughter walked into a restaurant. A man walked past and the women both said, “Hello, Father”. How is this possible? => woman and daughter are sisters
- Wording questions At least one word with multiple meanings, and often time your default interpretation (misled by the context) makes the question impossible to answer. Key: Question your mind’s interpretation of every word in the question and in your thinking. Usually, you will find at least one word with alternative meanings that significantly changes the whole context. “You walk across a bridge and you see a boat full of people yet there isn’t a single person on board. How is that possible?” => The misleading word here is “single”. The context of the question suggests single should be interpreted as opposed to many (as in crowding the boat), which creates an impossible situation ->“single” can also be interpreted as opposed to “married”. This yields the answer: the boat is still full of people; yet they are all married, hence no single person! "What two words, when combined, hold the most letters?"
- Wordplay questions These questions play with the organization, demonstration, and compositions of letters. For example, what does this represent? COF FEE -> The answer is “Coffee break”. Key: look at as many aspects as possible. Synonyms, visual, verbal, etc. Here is another exercise for you. What does this mean? <only show this on screen: gges egsg segg esgg> -> Scrambled eggs
- Logic Questions: During lunch hour a group of boys from Mr. Bryant’s homeroom visited a nearby grocery store. One of the five took an apple. •Jim said, “It was Hank or Tom”. •Hank said, “Neither Eddie nor I did it.” •Tom said, “Both of you are lying.” •Don said, “No, one of them is lying, the other is speaking the truth.” •Eddie said, “No, Don, that is not true.” When Mr. Bryant was consulted, he said, “Three of these boys are always truthful but two will lie every time.” 1) Let's filter out Tom's statement from the equation, because if he is right, then Jim, Hank will be 100% liars; in addition, since Don's and Eddie's statements directly contradict each other, we need one of them to tell a lie as well. We cannot have 3 liars. 2) Now, we have one lie left. If Don's statement is correct, Eddie and one more boy must be lying. Therefore, Don is the other liar. 3) Since Eddie's statement is correct, and "Both are lying" is a false statement, the only option left is "Both Jim and Hank are saying the truth", which goes in line with the information that 3 boys ALWAYS adhere to the truth. 4) As a result, the thief is 100% not Eddie or Hank. Jim is truthful, thus, Tom is the thief.took the apple?
