Brain Teasers (5)
« on: January 18, 2007, 21:12:55 PM »
You've all be left alone for long enough !!!. Time for some more torture methinks:D

Once again, the number at the end of the question indicates its alleged degree of difficulty out of a hundred. The lower the number the harder it's meant to be.

Why the teaser is solved I'll post the answer in red next to the question so you need not torture yourselves too much

Here we go:

Q1. I'm not what I am
       But I am what I'm not
       Perhaps they will be fooled
       Or that's what is thought

        What I'm I ?

Q2. A man flew to New York on Tuesday. He stayed for two nights and then flew home to
       London on Tuesday. Between the two flights he never left New York and was only there
       for a total of two days.

       How is it that he flew on Tuesday both times if there were only two days between the
       Flights ?

Q3. There is a place where if you go and stay a day when you return home you will be about
        a year  older. Where is this place ?

Q4  It settles down and surrounds you
       When your way you're trying to find
       And you sure can be confounded
       When it penetrates your mind

       What is it ?

32 Mist or Fog - Crabbit

Q5. June 21st has been called the longest day of the year, but in fact there is one day even
       longer. What is that day and how much longer is it than June 21st ?

Q6. Pick the odd word out of the following words:

       Bicycle  Tragedy  Calendar  Spasm  


 28



Q7. How is it possible to arrange the four numbers 2,3,4 and 5 into a valid mathematical
       equation using only a + and = sign ?

 56

Q8. Which of the five words shown fits into the sequence given ?

         Mormon  _________  quieter  start

         Opal, origin, ornate, orlop, parson

Q9. What comes next:


       2   6   42   1806

11.3,263,442 Crabbit - who solved it WITHOUT a calculator

Q10. Twice ten are eight of us
         Six are but three
         Nine are but four of us
         What can we be ?
         Would you know more of us

GOOD LUCK  :)
