00:00A villain lured Detective Johnson into a trap.
00:03He told the detective that if he wanted to survive, he needed to crack a riddle.
00:08Then he put a jug of juice and an empty glass in front of him.
00:12There was nothing else on the table.
00:14Johnson needed to fill the glass to the brim.
00:17But after that, the jug had to contain the same amount of juice as it did at the beginning.
00:23Can you help the detective figure out how to do it?
00:30It's very simple.
00:36The detective should pour the drink into the glass and then place it inside the jug.
00:43An elderly lady was walking in the park when a stranger grabbed her bag and hurried away.
00:50The woman told the police the man was wearing a coat, a hat, and glasses.
00:55He also had a mustache.
00:57The police officers ran in the direction the lady showed them.
01:01Some distance away, they found the hat, coat, and glasses lying on the ground.
01:06They realized that the criminal could be hiding in the nearby cafe.
01:11Look at these four men.
01:13All of them are cafe visitors.
01:15You need to understand who took the bag from the elderly woman.
01:18It can't be the man in a hat or the one wearing a coat.
01:31The criminal also got rid of his glasses.
01:34So it can't be the man in the corner.
01:36It means that the man wanted by the police is the one on the right.
01:40He has a small wound on his upper lip.
01:42He must have gotten rid of his fake mustache in a hurry.
01:48Builders were mixing sand, gravel, and cement for the foundation of a house.
01:53Suddenly, one of the workers noticed a small bird hopping along the top of the foundation wall.
01:59At one point, the bird misjudged the distance and fell down one of the holes between the blocks.
02:04No one could reach it since the bird was too far down.
02:07The hole was also too small for it to fly out of.
02:11Someone suggested using two sticks to try to pull the bird out.
02:15But this idea was rejected because it could easily injure the fragile bird.
02:20What would be the easiest way to get the bird out of the hole without hurting it?
02:24Since the workers have plenty of sand at hand, they can pour a little at a time into the hole.
02:39The bird would constantly keep shifting its position and get closer to the surface along with the rising sand.
02:45Now this riddle will require some thinking and analytical skills.
02:52You might even need to get a pen and a slip of paper.
02:56Listen attentively.
02:57Two criminals were caught stealing.
02:59Detective Brightbrain suspects that the criminals are in cahoots.
03:03But this is just speculation and there's no proof.
03:07The detective offers each of the criminals a deal.
03:09To rat on his comrade and get freedom for this.
03:12But the other criminal will be sentenced to 10 years in prison.
03:16If the criminal refuses to testify, he'll spend 6 months in prison for refusing to cooperate with the investigation.
03:23If both testify against each other, both will receive 2 years in prison.
03:28The criminals are isolated from each other and cannot communicate.
03:32It's in everyone's interest to reduce the time spent behind bars as much as possible.
03:37What decision should each criminal make?
03:39Make a deal with the investigation or remain silent.
03:52Since they can't communicate with each other, the criminals have 4 possibilities.
03:57A is silent and B is silent.
04:00Equals each gets 6 months in prison.
04:03A is silent and B testifies.
04:05B is released and A is sentenced to 10 years.
04:09A testifies and B is silent.
04:12Equals A is released and B is sentenced to 10 years.
04:16A testifies and B testifies.
04:19Equals both get imprisoned for 2 years.
04:22If the suspects are not allowed to communicate, then they do not know what the other will choose.
04:27In this situation, if A remains silent, then, depending on B's decision, he will be sentenced to 10 years or 6 months.
04:35If A testifies against B, A will receive 2 years in prison or will be released.
04:41So, it will be more profitable for each of the suspects to testify against each other so as not to be sentenced to 10 years.
04:48But, if A and B had the opportunity to communicate, then, of course, the best solution for each of them would be to refuse to make a deal with the investigation and get only 6 months in prison.
05:00On the first day of school, someone pierced the wheels of the principal's car.
05:06When a detective arrived, she immediately suspected that the culprit was not one of the students, but an adult, since all the children were in the classroom.
05:14So, she questioned 4 teachers, asking each of them what they had been doing at 8am.
05:21Mr. Walter said that he'd been on his way to school, running late.
05:25Mrs. Thomas answered that she had been checking her students' exam papers.
05:29Mr. Benjamin said that he'd been reading a newspaper.
05:32And Mrs. Calvin explained that she had been in her office with her husband, who had come to visit her.
05:37The detective immediately realized who had punctured the tires on the principal's car.
05:43Who was it?
05:53It was Mrs. Thomas.
05:54She couldn't be checking exam papers on the first day of school.
06:00Mary Levis was a famous detective.
06:03Once, she was gathering all available information on a tricky case.
06:07A well-known banker disappeared from his office.
06:10The detective had 5 suspects.
06:12Alice, Jack, Stefan, Nicholas, and Maria.
06:17The thing is, on the banker's table, Mary found a diary with several entries.
06:22The latest entry said,
06:24At 10 o'clock, I have a meeting with Maria.
06:26The next day, at 1 o'clock, I have to meet with Nicholas.
06:30And on June 3rd, I have an $11 million deal with Stefan.
06:34It's important not to mix it up.
06:36After carefully examining the evidence, the detective realized who was behind the banker's disappearance.
06:42Who was it?
06:52It was Jack.
06:54All the numbers in the last entry, 10, 1, 3, and 11, are the order of the letters in the alphabet.
07:01By matching the numbers with letters, you can get the name.
07:04There was a theft in a multi-story building.
07:08The victim was sure she would receive a large payment from the insurance company.
07:12As for the robber, she claimed he had jumped out of the window and disappeared.
07:17The detective went to the first floor, opened a closed window, and threw a coin out of it.
07:21Then, he went up to the second floor and did the same.
07:25He continued to climb floor after floor, opening windows and throwing coins, until he reached the last one.
07:32Then, he returned and said that the victim was lying.
07:35How did he understand it?
07:37The detective had to open every window on every floor.
07:50If the robber had jumped out on his own, he wouldn't have been able to close the window behind him.
07:55He had an accomplice, and most likely, it was the victim who wanted a payout from the insurance company.
08:00Jake and his friend Jonathan likes challenging each other.
08:07One would suggest something they could do, and the other would prove it wrong somehow.
08:12One day, Jake surprised Jonathan by stating,
08:14I can answer any question in the world.
08:17Jonathan was sure that he could win the challenge, so he accepted the task of proving it wrong.
08:23He wrote up a test full of super hard questions.
08:26After a while, Jake returned the test.
08:29Jonathan lost the challenge.
08:31He had to admit that Jake could indeed answer any question.
08:35How did Jake win?
08:46He indeed answered all the questions by writing,
08:49I don't know.
08:52Two workmen were repairing a roof.
08:54Suddenly, they both fell down the chimney and found themselves in a large fireplace.
08:59One man's face was smeared with soot, but the face of the other was clean.
09:04The second man washed his face, but the worker whose face was dirty didn't, and just went back to work.
09:10Why?
09:10When the two men looked at each other, the one with the clean face thought his face was dirty as well.
09:24The other man, though, looked at his companion and thought that his face was clean.
09:28One man's face was dirty.
09:29He went back to work.
09:30He ate his words and said he played, and he picked his face on the floor.
09:32And it seemed like that he wouldא n� fitness.
09:33If he had to admit that everything was ALL a lot.
09:34He was able to keep up the resolution.
09:35He came back to every day, from working onSí.
