00:00Hey, are you ready to test your brain power and see how much of it you actually use?

00:05Then let's start!

00:07There once was an evil king who loved himself so much,

00:11he'd always carry a pocket mirror to admire his own reflection.

00:15He wanted to have the largest and the most expensive castle in the whole world.

00:19He made workers build it day and night without a break.

00:22So they decided to take revenge on him.

00:25Once the castle was ready, the king went in and found himself in a maze.

00:29There were three doors, and he had to pick one to get out.

00:33Behind the first door, there was a hungry monster that could take the life of anyone who looked at it.

00:38Behind the second door, there was a shaky bridge over a chasm that was easy to fall into.

00:43And the third door opened to a massive fire blocking the way.

00:48So what should the king choose?

00:59The king should choose the first door.

01:06He can use that mirror he has to reflect the monster's gaze.

01:10Voila!

01:11The monster is gone, and the king can pass easily.

01:14Yeah!

01:16Sandra has just moved into a new apartment, but she's in trouble already.

01:20She saw two people break into the apartment next door.

01:23She knew for sure she had just one neighbor, and he was a circus performer.

01:28Sandra called the police, but since none of the men had a key or an ID on them, the police couldn't help much.

01:34They decided to figure out which of the men was lying.

01:37Can you help them?

01:38Although there's plenty of sports gear in the room, the real clue is the flower on the clown's hat.

01:57The exact same flowers are growing in the apartment, so he's the real owner.

02:04The police found a secret lab with a mad scientist living in it.

02:07He was working on a superpower potion that would help him take over the city.

02:12Somehow, he managed to escape from the lab, and now the police have to find him to prevent disaster.

02:19Do you have any ideas on how to do it?

02:21There are some flasks in the trash can.

02:36They must be the clue.

02:38And he must have left this weird gadget behind.

02:41Let's keep on searching.

02:43Here are some suspicious footprints.

02:45The mad scientist must have left them behind.

02:47Do you see him?

02:49There he is, hiding behind the car.

02:53Neil invited his best friends to his birthday party and ordered a cab for them so they wouldn't have to drive.

02:59Everyone had fun, but then it was time to open the gifts, and one of the boxes turned out to be empty.

03:06Someone must have stolen it.

03:07Sue said, I make more money than all of you together.

03:11Why would I steal that gift?

03:13Nikki said, I've just arrived, and you're blaming me for stealing something?

03:17Sorry for being late.

03:20Mimi explained, I haven't even seen that blue box with a golden ribbon before.

03:24Who's lying here?

03:25Nikki, everyone arrived in one taxi.

03:42So how could he have been late?

03:47Liza is a secret agent, and today her mission is to discover some super important papers from a little house in a faraway village.

03:56She arrived there, made sure no one was watching, and was about to enter.

04:00But there was a combination lock on the door.

04:03Luckily, there was a note nearby.

04:05Can you help Liza figure out the code using the note?

04:09You have to count how many logs there are in each section of the house.

04:26The note has the order in which the numbers must be placed.

04:30So the code is 7834.

04:33Nick has just arrived home after a weekend at the polo club with his friends.

04:39Yikes!

04:40He just saw a burglar running out of his house.

04:43Nick tried to follow the stranger, but he was way faster.

04:46So Nick couldn't catch him.

04:48But he noticed the burglar was running towards the construction site nearby.

04:52He must be pretending to be a construction worker.

04:55Which of these guys is an imposter?

04:57Look, this guy is trying to saw through a beam.

05:13The guy on top will fall if he succeeds here.

05:16He must be the burglar.

05:17This family only seems normal.

05:22The dad is a real superhero.

05:24He can travel in time.

05:25He can fly, has super hearing, and always knows when someone is lying.

05:30It's cool, but not for his son.

05:33He has really bad grades at school and was grounded for the holidays.

05:37The boy really wants to go to his best friend's birthday party.

05:40How can he escape?

05:42He can tell his dad he has to be at school today.

05:45He can lock himself in and escape through the window.

05:48He can run away quietly while his dad is watching TV.

06:05His dad will know when the boy is lying,

06:08and his super hearing will help him notice if his son is trying to run away.

06:12So the only way out is through the window.

06:15Someone stole a famous masterpiece from an art gallery.

06:21Three people were inside at the time of the crime.

06:24The head of the gallery, a maintenance person, and a visitor.

06:27The head of the gallery told the police,

06:30I was in my office signing papers.

06:32The maintenance person said,

06:33I was cleaning on the second floor and haven't noticed anything suspicious.

06:37The visitor said,

06:39I was in the modern art hall and was looking at exhibits.

06:43The police immediately guessed who was lying.

06:46Can you do the same?

06:46It was the maintenance person.

07:02The gallery doesn't have a second floor.

07:04In a big company, an important contract went missing.

07:10Three employees became the prime suspects.

07:12The manager, the secretary, and the analyst.

07:16Here's what they had to say.

07:18The manager said,

07:19I was busy at meetings with clients all day.

07:21The secretary insisted,

07:23I was filing mail in the archive.

07:26The analyst claimed,

07:28I was analyzing reports from the last quarter.

07:30The police quickly figured out who was lying.

07:33So, who stole the document and how did they know?

07:37It was the secretary.

07:52The company only updates the archive on Fridays.

07:55But this happened on a Wednesday.

07:57Busted!

08:00Someone tried to hack the security system of a top-secret research base.

08:05The base is really well-equipped

08:07with self-updating software and all the latest tech.

08:11Three team members fell under suspicion.

08:13The engineer, the guard, and the programmer.

08:16The engineer said,

08:17I was checking the base's power supply and everything was fine.

08:21The guard told the police,

08:23I was patrolling the area and everything was quiet.

08:26The programmer explained,

08:28I was updating the system's software.

08:30The police immediately knew who tried to hack the system.

08:33Can you guess who it was

08:35and how they figured it out?

08:50It was the programmer.

08:52The system updates automatically

08:53and doesn't need any help with it.

08:55An experimental chemistry kit went missing at school.

09:01And there were three main suspects.

09:03The chemistry teacher, a student, and the school principal.

09:07Here's what they said.

09:09The teacher,

09:10I was prepping for class.

09:12The student,

09:13I was reading a book in the library.

09:16Principal,

09:16I was reviewing documents about new supplies.

09:19The police immediately knew who was lying.

09:23So,

09:23who swiped the kit

09:24and how did they figure it out?

09:40It was the student.

09:41The library was closed for inventory

09:43on the day of the incident.

09:44So,

09:45there's no way they could have been there.

09:49You've got three boxes.

09:51One with just apples,

09:52one with just oranges,

09:54and one with a mix of both.

09:56The problem is that all the labels are wrong.

09:59How can you fix the labels

10:00by pulling out just one fruit?

10:03Think it over.

10:03Here's the trick.

10:19Grab a fruit from the box labeled mixed.

10:22Since all the labels are wrong,

10:24this box actually has

10:25either just apples or just oranges.

10:28Let's say you pull out an apple.

10:30It would mean that this box

10:31is actually the just apples box.

10:34Now you've got two boxes left.

10:36The one labeled oranges

10:37can't just be oranges

10:39because it's mislabeled.

10:41And it can't be just apples

10:42because you've already found the apple box.

10:45So,

10:45it must be the mixed box.

10:47It means the last box,

10:49which was labeled apples,

10:50must be the just oranges box.

10:53And there you go.

10:54You've sorted out all the boxes.
