00:00All right, wake up your brain, let's go.

00:06A man is trapped in a room that only has two possible oxates.

00:10The first door leads to a room made out of magnifying glass.

00:14The blazing hot sun instantly fries anything or anyone that enters that place.

00:19Behind the second door, a fire-breathing dragon is hiding.

00:23Does the man have any chance to escape unharmed?

00:30Well, he just needs to wait until nighttime and then leave through the first door.

00:41This princess urgently needs your help.

00:44Can you help her find her frog prince among all these other frogs?

00:47Look, the princess is carrying a picture of the frog she's looking for.

00:51It can help you spot the right one.

01:00Here he is, in the bottom right corner.

01:06I come out every night without being called.

01:09I am lost in the day without being stolen.

01:12What am I?

01:13If you think it's a star, you're absolutely right.

01:27I have a speed of almost 100 miles per hour, but I don't leave the room.

01:32You can cover me, but it won't prevent me from continuing ahead.

01:36I don't plan my visits.

01:37I can arrive at any moment at any time of the year.

01:41What am I?

01:43I'm a sneeze.

01:55Each of the five neighborhood dogs is enjoying one of the following activities.

01:59Getting its ears scratched, playing catch, taking a nap, hiding a chew toy, and going for a walk.

02:06Pepper is either playing catch or hiding a chew toy.

02:09Neither Ginger, nor Sabre, nor Bear is on a walk.

02:13One of the dogs, named after a spice, is getting its ears scratched.

02:18A dog not named after a spice is playing catch.

02:21Bear is getting some exercise.

02:23Can you figure out what each pooch is doing?

02:26Sabre is taking a nap.

02:35Sabre is taking a nap.

02:37Ginger is getting its ears scratched.

02:39Nutmeg is going for a walk.

02:41Pepper is hiding a chew toy.

02:43And Bear is playing catch.

02:44The combined weight of a cat and a guinea pig is 10 pounds.

02:50The weight of a dog and a guinea pig is 20 pounds.

02:54And the weight of a cat and dog is 24 pounds.

02:57Can you figure out how much each of the animals weighs and determine their common weight?

03:11The cat weighs 7 pounds.

03:13The guinea pig weighs 3 pounds.

03:15And the weight of the dog is 17 pounds.

03:18It means all animals will weigh 27 pounds.

03:24Ben and Grace are having a party.

03:26They're both preparing meals at the same time.

03:29Grace is at the grill and Ben is in the kitchen.

03:32But one of them is doing something wrong.

03:34Who is it?

03:44It's Ben.

03:45His stove is off.

03:47Then, how is he cooking?

03:50Five friends came to Kim's sleepover party.

03:53When it got too late, Kim's mom told them to go to bed.

03:57But sometime later, the woman heard some noise coming from the room.

04:01When she went to check, she saw that one of the windows was open.

04:05All of the teens were in their beds and seemed to be sleeping.

04:09But someone must have left the room and come back.

04:12Who was it?

04:12It was the girl on the left.

04:24Look, she's wearing her shoes.

04:25Indicating she went outside and then returned indoors.

04:30What can be measured, even though it has no length, width, or height?

04:34It's temperature.

04:46Take me out of a window, and I leave a grieving wife.

04:50But stick me in a door, and I can save someone's life.

04:53What am I?

04:54It's the letter N.

05:07John asked his friend Thomas how many children there were in his family.

05:12Thomas answered in a bizarre way.

05:14Two pairs of twins twice.

05:16Can you figure out what he meant?

05:18What am I?

05:24In simple words, there are eight children in Thomas' family.

05:32Look at this brain teaser closely.

05:35Can you figure out which part is missing?

05:47It's part A.

05:50Your friends come to congratulate you on your birthday.

05:53They have a great gift for you, but you can't get it so easily.

05:57First, you need to figure out the password to a combination lock.

06:01Luckily, your friends have some hints for you.

06:04Here, number one is correct and in the right place.

06:08One number is correct, but is in the wrong place in this combination.

06:12Two numbers are correct, but in the wrong place.

06:16There are no correct numbers here.

06:19And in this combination, one number is correct, but in the wrong place.

06:23Can you open the combination lock and get your gift?

06:35The code you need is 394.

06:38Julia took part in a cooking competition.

06:43She decided to prepare her favorite muffins.

06:46She did her best, and the muffins looked great.

06:49But when the jury members tried them, they started to make faces and sputter.

06:53It turned out someone had replaced the sugar with salt in the process of cooking.

06:58The girl understood she had lost her chance to become the winner.

07:01But at least she could figure out who had done it to her.

07:04She had three other competitors.

07:07Wayne told her he hadn't even been there.

07:09He forgot to buy several ingredients and did some last-minute shopping.

07:13Amber said that she had been preparing the icing for her cake.

07:16And Diana told Julia that she had been very busy with the recipe.

07:21It was complicated, and she had to follow it precisely.

07:25Very soon, Julia knew who had spoiled her muffins.

07:28And have you figured it out?

07:39It was Amber.

07:40She said she had been preparing the icing.

07:43But her cake is only sprinkled with some powdered sugar.

07:48Nancy was angry with her boyfriend, Paul, and sent him an email saying she was going to break up with him.

07:54But just an hour after sending the message, the girl found out Paul had done nothing wrong.

08:00Now she needed to delete the email from his computer.

08:04The girl knew Paul was at work, so she sneaked into his house.

08:07But the computer was protected by a password.

08:10Nancy thought the word she needed could be her name.

08:13Paul loved her very much, after all.

08:15But the girl was wrong.

08:17And then an idea came to her mind.

08:19She typed in a word, and this time, it was correct.

08:22Look at what Nancy saw on the screen, and try to figure out the password.

08:36The password was 67683.

08:40These numbers correspond with the letters of Nancy's name.

08:45Dennis called the police and told them a large sum of money had disappeared from his dorm room.

08:50He thought the thief was one of his neighbors.

08:53The police arrived and questioned the guy's neighbors.

08:56Deborah, a designer, told the officers,

08:59I had to finish an important project.

09:01That's why I pulled an all-nighter.

09:03When I sent the final version to the client in the morning, I went to bed and only woke up when you came.

09:09Aaron, a waiter, said,

09:10I've had a very long shift today because one of my colleagues got ill.

09:15I haven't seen Dennis since yesterday.

09:16And Nathan, a vet, said,

09:19I've just come back home.

09:21One of my patients called and told me he felt unwell.

09:24I had to hurry to the hospital where he was and stay with him.

09:27The police officers immediately understood who was lying.

09:31And you?

09:31It was Nathan who had taken the money.

09:43He lied about a patient calling him.

09:45He's a vet.

09:48Look at these three young ladies.

09:51Can you figure out who the cat belongs to?

09:53The owner of the cat is the blonde girl.

10:05She has the animal tattooed on her ankle.

10:07See?

10:10John was hungry.

10:12He took something, threw away the outside, and cooked the inside.

10:15Then he ate the outside and threw away the inside.

10:19What snack did he have?

10:20He had an ear of corn.

10:33Jason arrived at a hotel.

10:35He told the receptionist his name and received the key to his room and a note.

10:40There were just three letters there.

10:41F, B, and D.

10:44After some thinking, the guy understood what his room number was.

10:48Do you know it too?

10:50It's room 624.

11:00F is the sixth letter of the alphabet, B is the second, and D is the fourth.

11:07Look at this picture very closely.

11:10Can you figure out who the owner of this cute puppy is?

11:13The man on the left is holding a toy, but it's not a chew toy.

11:26It's actually his son's.

11:28The man on the right seems to have the same vibe as the pooch.

11:31But the real owner is the man in the middle.

11:34The puppy has a green bandana tied around his neck,

11:37and the man has the same bandana wrapped around his wrist.

11:43Look at this picture very closely.

11:47The guy looks a hot...

11:47...for him a meaty caviar.

11:48...

11:48What do you want to do with the other people?

11:51He looks like my
