Riddle 7

You are walking along the road and come to a fork. One path leads to certain death and the other to eternal happiness, but you don't know which one.

One brother always tells the truth, and the other one lies all the time. You can only ask them one question. How do you decide which road to take?

Answer 7:

Ask each brother: “If you were your brother, what would you say is the road to eternal happiness?”

· Let us assume that the road to the right leads to eternal happiness. After you ask the question, both brothers will give you the same answer: "He would say that the left path will lead to eternal happiness."

· Either way, you will choose the opposite of what they said, since one is telling the truth that it is a lie, and the other is lying about what is true.

Logic riddles

8. What number will be next in this series: 1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221, 312211, ...

Answer 8:

13112221

· Each sequence of numbers is a verbal representation of the sequence that comes before it. So, for example, starting from one, the next sequence will be “one 1” or “11”. It will be followed by the sequence “two 1s” or “21” and so on.

· The first digit is 1 (quantity) "1" (digit from 0 to 9). So if you say "One 1", the next number will be "11". Now it turns out to be "two 1" or "21". After that "one 2 and one 1", which gives us 1211. Then "one 1, one 2 and two 1", which gives us 111221 and so on.

Riddle 9

Four people came to a river with a narrow bridge that only 2 people could cross at a time. It's night outside and they only have one flashlight, which they need to use when crossing the bridge.

Person A can cross the bridge in 1 minute, person B in 2 minutes, person C in 5 minutes, and person D in 8 minutes.

When two people cross a bridge together, they must pass at the speed of the slower one. Can they cross the bridge in 15 minutes or less?

Answer 9:

They will cross the bridge in exactly 15 minutes.

A group of 4 people must do the following:

· First A and B will cross the bridge and A will bring back a flashlight. It will take 3 minutes.

· Then, C and D will cross and B will bring back the flashlight. This will take another 10 minutes.

· Finally, A and B will cross the bridge again. This will take another 2 minutes.

Riddle 10

During the last census, the man said he had three children. When asked about their ages, he replied that the product of their ages was the number 72.

The sum of their ages is the same as the house number. The census taker looks at front door to find out the house number and says that he still doesn’t know.

The man replies: “I forgot to say that the eldest son likes chocolate pudding.” After this, scribe records the ages of three children. How old are the children?

Answer 10:

three children are 3, 3 and 8 years old.

When the man looked at the house number, he knew the sum of the children's ages. However, he could not say the age of the children. So he had several options. Only two options for a set of numbers when multiplied give 72: (2,6,6) and (3,3,8).

After the man said that his eldest son liked chocolate pudding, the man was able to make a choice. Since it is in the second option that one can name the eldest son.

A complex logic riddle from the book “The Starry Adventures of Numi and Nika” by Lyuben Dilov

The girl Numi, from the planet Pyrrha, asks the earthly boy Niki a riddle:
One glof and two mulfs weigh as much as one dabel and four laci. In turn, one dabel weighs as much as two laci. One glof and three laci weigh together as much as one dabel, two mulfs and six kraks. One glof weighs as much as two dabels. The question is, how many kraks must be added to one mulfa to get the weight of two dabels and one lazi?
Answer with a hint on the solution:

So, Nikolai Buyanovsky took out a draft notebook from his briefcase, or, as he dubbed it, a notebook on all kinds of knowledge, and a pen, and Numi slowly began to dictate to him the weight of all these mysterious dabels, mulfs, lazi and kraks. And when he, having written everything down in order and swapped a few things around in his mind, composed several short equations, and then, suddenly realizing, brought the weight of all the data to the weight of the same mysterious creatures, the answer seemed to come out by itself. The problem was logical, and in this part Niki Buyan was a god and a king.
“Eight,” he said confidently. “We need to add eight kraks to this mulfa of yours.”

How do you feel about taking a few minutes away from the drab routine and stretching your brain a little? Then choose any interesting logic question from this article and try to find the answer yourself. Just don’t peek into the answers right away - it’s not only dishonest, but also uninteresting!

Mental workout for kids

Many of these mysteries have been well known since Soviet times, but still do not lose their relevance. The answers to them are so simple and obvious that it is almost impossible to guess right away. Are you ready? Then full speed ahead!

1. “Why do you go to the bed when you want to sleep?” The whole “trick” of this question lies precisely in the wording. After all, if you say it out loud, the brain immediately perceives the first two words as one whole. Why? Well, what is this “why”? You can lie down on the bed, cover yourself with a blanket, close your eyes and... And, by the way, the correct answer is “On the floor.”

2. “When can a person be in a room without a head?” Another logic question with an elementary answer. However, it can be very difficult for a child to reach the right decision, because not even every adult can immediately guess that this happens when we stick our head out the window.

3. “Can an ostrich call itself a bird?” You may be surprised, but no special knowledge from the field of zoology is needed to correctly answer this question, because even the most educated and erudite ostrich cannot call itself anything. If only because he doesn’t know how to speak.

4. “Which words have a hundred consonants?” But here the child will undoubtedly become thoughtful. After all, it’s hard to even imagine such a word - as many as 100 consonants, and what if we add vowels? What kind of lexical monster is this? But the correct answer, as always, lies on the surface - “table”, “groan”, “stop”, “stack”, “stop”.

5. “In front of you is a bathtub filled with water. There is a mug and a spoon on the edge. What should I use to quickly remove all the water from the bath?” Do you think this is a mug? Because she's bigger? But a rational person, looking at your torment, will silently come up and pull out the cork.

6. “Three little pigs were walking through the forest. One walked in front of the two, one walked behind them all, and one walked between the two. How did they go? To be honest, even adults often cannot answer such tricky logic questions. In fact, the piglets in this riddle simply follow each other.

7. “The bull plowed the field all day. How many tracks did he ultimately leave on the arable land? In fact, the bull leaves no traces at all, because the plow he pulls behind him erases them.

8. “At 12 o’clock at night there is a torrential downpour. Could it be that after 72 hours there will be warm, sunny weather?” No probability theory will help you here, relax. But knowing how many hours there are in a day will help - there can be no sunny weather. If only because in the indicated 72 hours it will be midnight again.

So, we looked at some interesting logic questions for children. Now let's move on to other, more complex and interesting tasks.

Other logic puzzles

We bring to your attention other interesting logic questions that can make not only kids, but also their parents think.

Play on words

• “On the seashore there was a stone, on the surface of which a word of 8 letters was scratched. When the rich read this word, they began to cry, the poor, on the contrary, rejoiced, and the couples in love broke up. What was that word? We will not comment on the answer in any way, because everything will become clear by itself. And the word was “Temporarily”.
• “Which word contains 3 letters “l” and 3 letters “p”? - “Parallelepiped”.

For math buffs

• “How much earth is in a hole 3 meters in diameter and 5 meters deep?” Still trying to calculate and looking for density different types soils? Don't forget that this is a logic question. By the very fact of its existence, the pit is empty, otherwise it would not be a pit.
• “How many times can you subtract 6 from 30?” Yes, not to divide, but to take away! Just one, because next time you will subtract 6 not from 30, but from 24.

Life

• “Two friends were walking around the city and suddenly stopped and started arguing. One began to assert that “it’s red.” Another objected to him and said that “it’s black.” The first one was not taken aback and asked: “Why is it white in that case?”, to which he heard: “Yes, because it’s green.” What were they talking about? The correct answer to this riddle is currants.
• “Three centuries ago, this procedure was carried out at a distance of 50 meters. Now this distance has been reduced by 10 times, and all thanks to the invention of a Soviet scientist, which you have probably seen more than once. What is this?" Nothing comes to mind? In fact, we are talking about an eye test chart, also known as

American scientists, who came across this picture and the questions for it, considered it to be one of the most effective IQ tests in the history of mankind. Look carefully at the image, and then try to give the correct answer to just 9 questions.

Questions

1. How many tourists stayed at this camp?
2. How long ago did they come here: today or a few days ago?
3. How far is the camp from the nearest populated area?
4. How did the tourists get here?
5. What time of day is it now?
6. Where does the wind blow from: from the south or from the north?
7. Where did Shura go?
8. Name the person who was on duty yesterday.
9. What date is it now and what month?

Correct Answers

Are you scratching your head? Well, it's time to show your cards and demonstrate how elementary the answers are to even the most difficult questions for logic:

1. Four. To understand this, just look at the list of duty officers (there are four lines on it), as well as the number of plates and spoons on the mat.
2. Not today, because between the tree and the tent a nimble spider managed to weave a web.
3. It’s unlikely, because the guys were able to bring with them live chicken(or she ran into them by chance, which, however, does not change the essence).
4. By boat. Near the tree you can see a pair of oars, and since the cars are in Soviet era there wasn't much, this is the most logical answer.
5. It’s morning, because the shadow falls to the west, and therefore the sun shines from the east.
6. This logic question really requires additional knowledge. For example, you need to remember that on the south side of the tree the branches are always longer than on the north. Next you need to look at the fire - it tilts slightly towards the north, which means the wind is blowing from the south.
7. Shura went to catch butterflies - from behind the bushes you can see a net falling on a winged beauty.
8. As you can see, Shura went to get butterflies, and the boy sitting next to the backpack with the letter “K” is Kolya. That is, two options are no longer available. Another boy is photographing the surrounding nature. He also cannot be on duty. But what is his name? Taking a closer look, you can see that in the backpack with the letter “B” there is a tripod - an indispensable attribute for a photographer. We conclude that the photographer’s name begins with the same letter - which means Vasya takes photographs. By the method of elimination we find out that Petya is on duty today, and from here we come to the conclusion that Kolya was on duty yesterday.
9. The answer to this question is closely related to the previous one. So, Petya is on duty today. Next to his name on the board is written the number 8 - the 8th number. As for the month, the very situation in the picture suggests that it takes place in August - only then do watermelons appear in our latitudes. Of course, they are also available in September. But it can be quite difficult to find butterflies at the beginning of autumn, and the first fallen leaves appear on the ground.

Interesting? Did you know that only 6% of people can answer all 9 questions correctly? If you succeeded, congratulations, because this means that your IQ is 130 or more.
