07:36Look at these teapots. If teapot A contains 40 cups of tea, how many cups of tea can teapot B
07:42hold?
07:52Even though teapot B is larger than teapot A, its spout is placed at the level that corresponds to the
07:58middle of teapot A, which means that if you pour inside more than 20 cups, the tea will start overflowing.
08:08In what case is this equation correct?
08:20When we're talking about time, 1 p.m. plus 20 minutes is the same as 2 p.m. minus 40
08:26minutes.
08:31A few college students went camping. They were dancing near the campfire when it suddenly started raining.
08:37The campfire got extinguished. One of the students, Eden, had a flashlight and some batteries, 8 in total.
08:444 of them were charged and 4 were not. Eden didn't know which batteries were charged.
08:49What is the least number of attempts Eden will need to light up the flashlight?
09:02Eden will need 7 attempts. See for yourself.
09:06He'll need to put batteries into 3 groups. 2 groups of 3 and 1 group of 2.
09:10It guarantees that at least 1 of the groups will have gotten 2 working batteries.
09:15Each group of 3 requires 3 attempts to verify if 2 batteries of the group are working, while the group
09:20of 2 needs 1 attempt.
09:22So the total number of attempts is 7.
09:29Amy overslept this morning, and she's going to be late for work.
09:33She gets ready, runs to the bus stop, and hops on the only bus waiting there.
09:37Uh-oh, it seems to be the wrong bus.
09:40There are 3 doors at the back.
09:41The driver tells Amy that only 1 leads to safety.
09:45Behind the first door, there's a giant elephant that will step on anyone who isn't grey.
09:51Behind the second one, there's a tiger that will eat anyone who isn't orange.
09:55Behind the third door, there's an anaconda that will swallow anyone that isn't green.
10:00Amy also sees 2 buckets of paint.
10:03One is yellow, and the other is red.
10:06Which door should the girl choose?
10:16She should mix the red and yellow paint to get the orange color, paint herself, and head out through the
10:21second door.

10:43If only everything was so simple!
10:45Can you figure out the correct code?
10:56All you need to do is flip the paper upside down, and you'll get the correct number.
11:01It's 600.
11:06John is looking for a gift at a shopping mall.
11:09One of the stores has a mysterious extension that leads to a vault filled with diamonds and gold jewelry.
11:15As soon as he walks in, the owner pulls the bars down and locks him in the room.
11:20He tells John he has to eat one of the three cookies lying on the table.
11:24Then he'll be set free and get the treasure.
11:26The first cookie will turn John into an animal.
11:30The second cookie will make him a giant.
11:32The last one will make him invisible.
11:35Which one should he eat?

11:59One day, Mark's laptop disappeared and nobody in the house could find it.
12:04They call the police.
12:06When a detective arrived and searched the scene, he found a note on Mark's desk.
12:10It was written by Jacob.
12:12The note read,
12:14Wow!
12:15The detective immediately figured out who had taken the laptop.
12:19Can you understand it too?
12:29It was Amy.
12:30If you turn the note upside down, it'll read,
12:33Mom.
12:38One day, a public library made a strange announcement.
12:41Each member could borrow as many books as they wanted.
12:44They also didn't have to return them for the next half a year.
12:48Why?
12:58The library was moving to a new building, but they didn't have enough money.
13:01And this way, the patrons would move most of the books by themselves.
13:19The library was moving to a new building, but they didn't have enough money.
13:22Wake up, wake up.
13:24Your brain workout is here.
13:25Put aside everything you need to do.
13:27It can wait.
13:28Take a few seconds for your mind to concentrate.
13:30And let's start.
13:35The first riddles are very simple, just to warm you up.
13:38But there's one condition.
13:39You need to give answers really fast.
13:43Now, a brother and a sister were born in the summer and in the winter.
13:46The sister wasn't born in the winter.
13:48The question is, who was born in the summer?
14:01The sister, but that was not my answer, duh.
14:08Alex is Charlie's father.
14:10Which of them was born later?
14:20Charlie, he's the son after all.
14:26The giraffe is taller than the lion, but shorter than the palm.
14:30Which animal is the tallest?

14:50If you have a cube with each of its edges two inches long,
14:53how many total square inches are all its eight sides?
15:05Hard to say, since any cube only has six sides.
15:12What is the correct way to say,
15:13the yolk of eggs is white,
15:15or eggs yolk is white?
15:26Neither way is correct,
15:28since the yolk is yellow.
15:34When is a door not a door?
15:44When it's a jar?
15:46Huh, you must agree this is a good one.

16:16going and lying,
16:17at the same time?
16:28A clock.
16:33Now,
16:34I've got a different task for you.
16:36Look at this picture and try to figure out
16:38who is not a teacher.
16:49Well,
16:49the lady on the left might not exactly fit the image of your average teacher.
16:53But she knows the students' names.
16:55Plus,
16:56she checks their grades on the phone and has a badge with her name.
16:59The second woman indeed looks like a grumpy teacher,
17:03but she is not.
17:03She's likely just someone's angry relative,
17:06scolding the students and holding the first thing she grabbed from the desk.
17:14Now,
17:14your task is to answer these questions very, very fast.
17:18Let's see how quick your reaction is.

19:41Andrew had been sick for a week,
19:43so he asked his friend Jesse
19:44to take his books out of his locker at college.
19:46But instead of simply telling Jesse
19:48the three-number combination
19:49he needed to open the locker,
19:51Andrew asked him to look for a small note
19:53under his locker.
19:55After school,
19:56Jesse went to Andrew's locker
19:57and pulled the paper out.
19:58This is what was written on the paper.
20:01Twenty-four.
20:02Twenty-four.
20:04Twenty-two.
20:05Nine.
20:05Nine.
20:07Nine.
20:08Twenty-two.
20:09Twenty-four.
20:10Twenty-two.
20:11Nine.
20:12Nine.
20:12Thinking this would be easy,
20:14but a little tedious,
20:15Jesse entered every arrangement
20:17of twenty-four,
20:18twenty-two,
20:18and nine he could think of,
20:20but the lock didn't open.
20:22Realizing there was something
20:23behind these numbers
20:24that he wasn't noticing,
20:25Jesse sat down for a few minutes
20:27to think it out.
20:28After some time,
20:30Jesse went to the locker,
20:31entered a combination,
20:33and the locker opened.
20:34What was the combination?
20:45It was twenty-eight,
20:47four,
20:48and seventeen,
20:49writing the twenty-fourth letter
20:50of the alphabet for each twenty-four,
20:52the twenty-second letter
20:53of the alphabet for each twenty-two,
20:55and the ninth letter
20:56of the alphabet for each nine
20:58give us the following letters.
21:00It is now clear
21:01that the combination
21:02is written in Roman numerals,
21:04and the only Arabic numerals
21:06corresponding to them
21:07are twenty-eight,
21:08four,
21:08and seventeen.
21:14Three men were in a store
21:15when Susan noticed
21:16that a pair of green pants
21:17was missing.
21:18Look at this picture
21:19and try to figure out
21:20which of these three guys
21:21stole the pants.
21:32It's the man on the right.
21:33Do you see something green
21:35sticking from under
21:36his dress pants?
21:41Four friends were hiking
21:42in the mountains.
21:43At lunchtime,
21:44it started pouring down.
21:46The friends hid in a cave.
21:48They decided to go
21:49a bit further away
21:50from the entrance
21:51to protect themselves
21:51from the chilly wind.
21:53When they were already
21:54deep in the cave,
21:55Amelia discovered
21:56she'd lost her phone.
21:58The girl asked her friends
21:59to go and look for her gadget,
22:00and she was going to stay there
22:02and start a fire.
22:04In half an hour,
22:05the guys were back.
22:06James said he hadn't noticed
22:07a lake in the dark
22:08and had fallen into it.
22:10Oliver told her
22:11he had seen some bats,
22:13got terribly scared,
22:14and rushed back.
22:15And Ethan nearly got lost.
22:18I'm so happy
22:19I've made it back to you.
22:20Which guy behaved suspiciously?
22:32Ethan lied.
22:33James was soaked through
22:34after falling into the water.
22:36But why was Ethan's hair wet?
22:38It looks as if he was
22:39outside in the rain,
22:40but decided not to tell
22:41his friends about it.
22:46Jackson was going to marry
22:47the love of his life, Liza.
22:49But one day before the wedding,
22:51his fiancée disappeared.
22:54Her room was a mess.
22:57On her bed,
22:58Jackson found a note
22:59with several hastily written numbers.
23:01Five, five, zero, nine, seven, one, zero.
23:07Jackson knew three other guys
23:09were in love with Liza.
23:10Jaden was a landscape designer
23:11and often sent Liza beautiful flowers.
23:13Luke owned a gas station
23:15and usually tanked up
23:16the girl's car for free.
23:18And Asher was a hairstylist
23:19and helped Liza with her hair.
23:21All of these guys
23:22wouldn't be above
23:23taking the girl away
23:24to prevent her from marrying Jackson.
23:26But just one of them
23:27was actually guilty.
23:29Who?
23:39Jackson turned the note over
23:41and realized it read
23:42Oil Boss.
23:43It was Luke
23:44who had taken Liza away.
23:50Mr. Lawrence called the police.
23:52He said someone had taken his car
23:53for a joyride,
23:54had crashed it into a streetlight,
23:56and had then run away.
23:57The man was sure
23:58it had been one of his neighbors.
24:00The police questioned three of them.
24:02Ivy answered she had been at work
24:04and arrived home only in the evening.
24:06Cameron told the police
24:07he'd been helping his dad
24:08remove old stuff from the attic.
24:10And Aaron claimed
24:11he'd been hanging out
24:12with his friends,
24:13eating pizza,
24:14and binge-watching the latest series.
24:16After listening to all the suspects,
24:18the police officers arrested one of them.
24:20Who was it?
24:30It was Cameron.
24:32There's no attic in his house.
24:34He invented the whole story.
24:39Claire was the best student in her class.
24:42She was also friendly and kind.
24:44Her classmates loved
24:45how she always found a way
24:46to help them with tests.
24:47The end-of-the-year math exam,
24:49though,
24:49was tough.
24:50During it,
24:51no one was allowed to be at school
24:52except for the students
24:53and several teachers.
24:55Students had to leave their phones
24:56in a special locker.
24:57It wasn't allowed to talk at all.
24:59If students needed to go to the bathroom,
25:01they had to do it one by one.
25:03And the teacher checked the bathroom
25:05after each student.
25:07Claire's classmates thought
25:08they were going to
25:08fail the test.
25:10But Claire had an idea.
25:12And when the students
25:13got their exam results,
25:14they saw very good marks.
25:16Their teacher knew
25:18the students had cheated,
25:19but how?
25:29Claire was the first
25:30to go to the bathroom.
25:32She wrote the correct answers
25:33on the steamy mirror
25:34with her finger.
25:35And her classmates read the answers
25:37by breathing on the mirror.
25:39And she's going to go to the bathroom.
25:39And she just said,
