00:00Alex built a time machine and decided to pitch it on Shark Tank.
00:04To prove his invention was legit, the sharks challenged him to bring back relics from different eras.
00:11Now he needs your help to impress those tough-as-nails investors.
00:16He steps into the machine and poof!
00:19Alex finds himself in the middle of a dense forest.
00:22He hears an enormous roar that sends shivers down his spine.
00:26Curious, he creeps closer and spots two gigantic dinosaurs with a baby one stuck right between them.
00:34Whose baby dino is it?
00:45It belongs to the dinosaur on the right, as both of them have red stripes on their backs.
00:50But Alex isn't about to stick around to find out what happens next,
00:54and he bolts out of there faster than you can say dino dinner.
00:59Second stop, ancient Egypt.
01:02Alex is now lost in a maze of dusty pyramid corridors.
01:06There, a ghostly figure appears.
01:09It's the spirit of an ancient pharaoh, and he's not here for a friendly chat.
01:14The pharaoh says,
01:32Alex freezes for a moment, thinking it over.
01:34What should he do to find the exit?
01:45The correct answer is option A, walk toward the shadows.
01:49Look, Alex has a compass and nose to face east, where the sun rises and casts shadows to the west.
01:56Walking west will safely lead him out of the pyramid, avoiding traps.
02:03After leaving the pyramid, he steps into a huge library filled with tons of papyrus scrolls.
02:09He grabs one as a relic, but then it hits him.
02:13He needs to get out of there fast.
02:15Why does he decide to run?
02:24A giant library in Egypt?
02:27Hold on, we're talking about the library of Alexandra, the one that famously burned down.
02:33If you look over in the corner, you can already see a small flame spreading.
02:38And since Alex knows how this story ends, he decides to bolt out of there as quickly as he can.
02:44Great! Alex secured his relic from Egypt.
02:47And his next stop is the fascinating realm of medieval times.
02:52Alex stumbles upon an ancient sword stuck in a rock.
02:55And there's something carved on it.
02:57I am not alive, but I can grow.
03:00I do not breathe, but I can fade away.
03:04What am I?
03:05Hmm, can you help him figure out the answer?
03:16The answer is fire.
03:18After saying it out loud, Alex manages to pull the sword out of the stone and takes it with him
03:24on his journey.
03:26Alex is starving.
03:28So before heading back to the time machine, he stops at a busy medieval market where a merchant is selling
03:34fish.
03:34The prices are 2 coins for a small fish, 3 coins for a medium fish, and 5 coins for a
03:42large fish.
03:43He only has 10 coins.
03:45If he wants to buy 2 small fish, how many medium fish can he buy?
03:58After purchasing 2 small fish, he spent 4 coins, leaving him with 6 coins.
04:04So Alex was able to buy 2 medium fish.
04:08Well, it's time to return to the time machine.
04:11Now Alex finds himself in a splendid Renaissance court, where the king faces a challenge.
04:17Two young women are claiming to be a long-lost princess.
04:22To determine the true heir, he devises a test of royal etiquette.
04:26Each woman receives a magnificent gown for a grand banquet.
04:31As they enter the opulent hall, the king observes closely.
04:35One woman walks with her gown's train trailing behind her,
04:39while the other elegantly tucks her train over her arm.
04:43Which woman is the true princess?
04:54The woman who tucked her train over her arm.
04:58A true princess would know to lift her gown's train to avoid tripping and to display grace and poise.
05:05The king is so impressed by Alex's investigative skills,
05:09that he wants to offer him a Renaissance relic to take with him.
05:13But first, he wants to test Alex's knowledge of the period.
05:17The king points to the famous Mona Lisa and asks,
05:21Who painted it?
05:22Donatello, Leonardo da Vinci, or Michelangelo?
05:25Do you know?
05:35The portrait was painted by Leonardo da Vinci.
05:38Since Alex had already seen the Mona Lisa at the Louvre, this was easy-peasy for him.
05:45With the Renaissance mystery solved and another relic guaranteed,
05:49Alex jumps back into the time machine and zooms to ancient Rome.
05:53He arrives at a bustling marketplace filled with philosophers, artisans, and orators.
05:59Suddenly, a wise old philosopher approaches and challenges him with a riddle.
06:05I speak without a mouth and hear without ears.
06:09I have no body, but I come alive with the wind.
06:13What am I?
06:14Alex scratches his head.
06:16Can you help him figure out the answer?
06:27The answer is an echo.
06:30Impressed with Alex's wisdom, the philosopher hands him an ancient scroll as a relic for his journey.
06:38Well, Alex is on a roll, but now he lands in the Viking Age.
06:43He's freezing and needs to get inside a house quickly.
06:46There are three houses, each with a grim-faced Viking at the door.
06:52Which house does he decide to enter?
07:02He definitely goes to house number three.
07:05If you notice, the owners of houses one and two have shields on them.
07:10That means they're Viking warriors, and Alex definitely doesn't want to mess with them.
07:16His next stop is ancient China.
07:19Look, they're constructing the Great Wall.
07:22So, he decides to take a brick with him to impress the sharks.
07:26As he approaches, one of the builders steps in and says that among this huge pile of bricks,
07:32only one is suitable for the Great Wall.
07:35Can you figure out which one?
07:45What are these colored tiles doing here?
07:48Look at the color of the Great Wall.
07:50The correct brick is this one with an earthy tone.
07:54Back in the time machine, Alex travels to the Maya civilization.
07:59Suddenly, a wise elder appears, blocking his path.
08:03He's holding a mysterious stone calendar.
08:06And he explains that their solar calendar, called Ha'ab, has 365 days.
08:12But they also have a shorter calendar, called Solkhin, primarily used for ceremonial purposes.
08:19If Alex guesses how many days the Solkhin calendar has, he can take it with him.
08:25So, what is the correct answer?
08:36If the Ha'ab calendar has 365 days, and the elder said the Solkhin calendar is shorter,
08:43the only possible answer is option B.
08:47Yay!
08:48One more relic is guaranteed.
08:51After another trip back in time, Alex finds himself in the Victorian era and in the middle of a mystery.
08:58A wealthy nobleman had mysteriously disappeared from his mansion.
09:02Four people were in the house that night.
09:05A butler, the maid, a gardener, and the nobleman's niece.
09:10Each was found in a different room when the authorities arrived.
09:14The butler says he was preparing the dining room.
09:17The maid claims she was cleaning the windows in the living room.
09:21The gardener insists he was outside tending the garden.
09:25The niece says she was reading in the library.
09:28Who is lying?
09:38The maid is lying.
09:40Take a closer look at the windows.
09:42They're completely filthy and covered in dust.
09:45So Alex realizes the maid lied about cleaning them.
09:49This suggests she might be involved in the nobleman's disappearance.
09:54The time machine now takes Alex to 1896.
09:58He's in Greece, witnessing the first-ever International Olympic Games.
10:03He notices a wall with illustrations of all the sports of the time.
10:07But something looks totally off.
10:10Can you figure out what it is?
10:20Wait, this illustration represents breakdancing,
10:24which was only introduced in the 2024 Olympic Games in France.
10:28What is it doing here in the 1800s?
10:31Could something be off with the time machine?
10:35Well, Alex thinks it's better to return to the present day.
10:38And with all the relics in hand, he truly impresses the investors on Shark Tank with treasures from across history.
10:46Looks like his journey through time paid off.
10:50Kyle, Kelly, and Ken are meeting at a coffee shop.
10:53Only three options are available at the moment.
10:56Cappuccino with almond milk,
10:58ice lemon tea,
10:59and a classic latte.
11:01Each friend orders a different beverage.
11:04Kyle is allergic to coffee beans.
11:06Kelly is allergic to nuts.
11:08And Ken is allergic to cocoa.
11:20Kyle must be allergic to both latte and cappuccino.
11:24So he ordered the tea option.
11:26Kelly ordered a latte because she can't drink almond milk.
11:30And Ken took the cappuccino.
11:33Kyle offers to pay for his friend's beverages if they crack his riddle.
11:38When do we look at one and say five?
11:49In a clock.
11:50When the minute hand points to one, it means five.
11:56Kelly tells her friends about the recent college exam.
12:00Each correct answer could win her 10 points,
12:02and each wrong answer could take away 5 points from her score.
12:07Kelly answered all the 20 questions, which were given in the test.
12:11The next day, got the results,
12:13and it turned out that her total score was 125 points.
12:17How many wrong answers did Kelly give?
12:28If all the 20 questions had been answered correctly,
12:32Kelly would have scored a total of 200 points.
12:35Since she only got 125 points,
12:39she lost 75 points.
12:41Now, what she has to do
12:42is subtract 15 points from 200
12:45for every wrong answer.
12:46This is because Kelly has to deduct 10 points
12:50for not scoring on that question
12:52and 5 points for answering it wrong.
12:55Therefore, Kelly answered 5 questions wrong.
12:59Ken tells Kelly and Kyle a funny story.
13:02He was going on vacation for a month.
13:05But before that,
13:07Ken went to a bank
13:08and asked for a $500 trip loan.
13:10The bank officer told Ken,
13:13your loan can only be approved
13:14if you leave some valuable pledge at the bank.
13:17Ken left his only car,
13:19the worth of which totals $80,000.
13:23The bank officer laughed at Ken
13:25and approved the trip loan right away.
13:27After vacation, when Ken returned,
13:30the bank officer asked him,
13:32are you silly?
13:33Why did you leave such an expensive car
13:35for such a small and short loan?
13:38Ken replied,
13:39And after that,
13:40the bank officer realized
13:42that Ken wasn't silly.
13:44What did Ken reply?
13:55Ken said that he took the loan
13:57to keep his expensive car safe
13:59and he also saved money on parking.
14:03Kelly and Kyle order similar noodles.
14:06But still, there are three differences between them.
14:10Can you spot them?
14:20Ready to see the answer?
14:21Here they are.
14:26Ken and Kyle order almost identical desserts.
14:30Can you spot three differences?
14:44The next day, Kelly wins a dancing contest
14:47and gets a gold cup.
14:49She brings it to the college dorm
14:51and puts it on a shelf in her room.
14:53Later that day, she leaves for the gym.
14:56When Kelly comes back,
14:57she sees that the statue is gone.
14:59It means that one of her roommates is a thief.
15:03Kelly questions them.
15:04But they swear to have nothing to do with the theft.
15:08Shannon says,
15:08I've been partying all day.
15:10I only returned five minutes ago.
15:13Mary says,
15:14Why would I steal from you?
15:16I'm super rich.
15:17I can afford to buy a castle of gold.
15:20And Brittany says,
15:22Ew, I'm allergic to tasteless home decor.
15:25I didn't steal it.
15:26Who's lying?
15:38Why would someone who can afford a castle
15:41live in a shared room at the college dorm?
15:45The next morning, Kelly goes to the college library.
15:48According to the local urban legend,
15:51it has a secret passage.
15:53Can you help Kelly find any clues in this area?
16:02The windows are locked,
16:04but this curtain is moving.
16:06Seems like the hidden door is nearby,
16:08and a draft is blowing through it.
16:12Kelly succeeds in opening the secret door
16:14and goes downstairs.
16:16She finds herself in the middle of a creepy,
16:19abandoned library section.
16:21Suddenly, she sees three prisoners in three cells.
16:24Each of them is tied differently.
16:26Can you guess who has more chances to escape?
16:37The guy in the middle.
16:39He's in chains, but they're rusty.
16:41And with the right amount of pressure,
16:43they are easy to break.
16:46Suddenly, Kelly gets into a trap.
16:48A creepy voice says,
16:50I'll set you free if you crack my riddle.
16:54I can write cow in 13 letters.
16:57Can you?
16:58Kelly nailed it right away.
17:00How about you?
17:11Ready to learn the correct answer?
17:13C-O-W
17:15Kelly escapes and returns to the dorm.
17:20Oh no, someone has used up her shampoo.
17:24Kelly wants to find out who did it
17:26and interrogates three suspects.
17:28Brittany says,
17:30My natural blonde hair is very sensitive.
17:32I only use organic chamomile shampoo.
17:36So I didn't take yours.
17:38Shannon says,
17:39I was too busy getting ready for exams.
17:41So I didn't wash my hair for a week.
17:44And Nina says,
17:45I think it was Shannon.
17:47I heard her admiring the smell of your shampoo the other day.
17:51Hmm, who's lying?
18:01Take a look at Brittany's roots.
18:03She's not a natural blonde.
18:05Therefore, her story is fake.
18:07Busted!
18:09Kelly orders a new debit card
18:12and creates a four-digit code.
18:14Your task is to figure out the code
18:16based on the following clues.
18:18Its first digit is of no use.
18:21Its second and fourth digits are mirroring each other.
18:24And the third digit is half the second.
18:36The code is 0848.
18:39Zero at the start of the number is of no use.
18:42The second and fourth digit
18:44is the mirror image of each other.
18:46The number 8 is the only digit
18:48that is the mirror image of itself.
18:50And the third digit is half the second.
18:53So, it's four.
18:56Kelly goes to a park and gets lost.
18:59Thankfully, she meets the forester
19:00and asks for help.
19:02He replies,
19:03I can show the way out.
19:05But first, you gotta crack my riddle.
19:07So listen carefully.
19:09It comprises roots that nobody sees.
19:12Much taller than those trees.
19:14Up and up it goes.
19:16Still, it never grows.
19:19What is it?
19:28Ready to hear the answer?
19:30Mountain.
19:32Kelly goes to her favorite restaurant,
19:35Vegan Paradise.
19:36But it's closed.
19:38And the owner is calling the police.
19:40He says,
19:41Please hurry up!
19:42Someone has attacked our chef.
19:43We took him to a hospital
19:45a couple of minutes ago.
19:46My rivals must have sent someone
19:48to ruin my business.
19:50Police officers arrive at the restaurant
19:53and find out that three people
19:55have been in the staff area
19:56during the accident.
19:57The first cook was cutting onions
19:59when the attack happened.
20:01He says that tears have blurred his vision
20:03and he couldn't see anything.
20:05The second cook was peeling shrimp
20:07during the accident.
20:08He says he's been listening to music
20:10through his earphones.
20:11So, he didn't hear anything.
20:13The third person, a waitress,
20:15claims she's been serving beverages outside.
20:19Who's lying?
20:28The second cook attacked the chef.
20:31Because there can't be shrimp
20:33in a vegan restaurant.
20:36Kelly decides to go to another restaurant
20:38by taxi.
20:40She walks outside
20:41and faces three drivers.
20:43Mike, Bob, and Stephanie.
20:45Each offers Kelly a ride.
20:47But only one of them is trustworthy.
20:49Can you figure out who?
20:59Mike is wearing a gold bracelet
21:01with the name Mia.
21:02It doesn't fit his big wrist.
21:05So, it must be stolen.
21:06And Stephanie's car lacks one wheel.
21:09Therefore, Bob is the best option.
21:13Kelly is having lunch at a cafe.
21:16At some point, she goes to the bathroom
21:18and leaves her phone on the table.
21:20Then, she comes back
21:22and finds out that her phone is missing.
21:24Kelly spots a man leaving the place
21:26and runs after him.
21:28She stops him when the man
21:29is about to sit in a car
21:30and asks him to return the gadget.
21:33But the man claims
21:34to know nothing about the phone.
21:36He says,
21:37I've just given my friends
21:38a lift to work.
21:39And he points at two men
21:41walking toward an office building.
21:43After hearing that story,
21:45Kelly calls the police immediately.
21:47Why?
21:55The man lied.
21:57His sports car only has two seats.
21:59It cannot fit three men.
