    Brain Teasers- Amazing Questions with Answers


  • 1. A Man went to a Party and Drank some of the Punch. He then left early. Everyone else at the Party who drank the Punch subsequently died of Poisoning. Why did the Man not Die?

    2. A Man and his Son are in a Car Accident. The Father dies on the scene, but the Child is rushed to the Hospital. When he arrives the Surgeon says,"I can't operate on this Boy, he is My Son! " How can this be?

    3. A Man is wearing Black. Black Shoes, Socks, Trousers, Gloves and Balaclava. He is walking down a black street with all the Street Lamps off. A Black Car is coming towards him with its light off but somehow manages to stop in time. How did the Driver see the Man?

    4. Why is it better to have Round Manhole covers than Square ones? This is logical rather than lateral, but it is a good puzzle that can be solved by lateral thinking techniques. It is supposedly used by a very well-known software company as an interview question for prospective Employees.

    5. A Man walks into a Bar and asks the barman for a glass of Water. The barman pulls out a Gun and points it at the man. The Man says 'Thank you' and Walks out. (This puzzle claims to be the best of the genre. It is simple in its statement, absolutely baffling and yet with a completely satisfying solution. Most people struggle very hard to solve this one yet they like the answer when they hear it or have the satisfaction of figuring it out.)

    6. There is a Man who lives on the Top Floor of a very Tall Building. Everyday He gets the elevator down to the Ground Floor to leave the building to go to work. Upon returning from Work though, he can only travel half way up in the Lift and has to Walk the rest of the way unless it's raining! Why? (This is probably the best known and most celebrated of all lateral thinking puzzles. It is a true classic. Although there are many possible solutions which fit the initial conditions, only the canonical answer is truly satisfying.)

    Solutions:

    1. The Poison in the Punch came from the Ice Cubes. When the Man Drank the Punch, the Ice was fully Frozen. Gradually it melted, Poisoning the Punch.

    2. The Surgeon was his Mother.

    3. It was Day time.

    4. A Square Manhole cover can be turned and dropped down the diagonal of the manhole. A Round Manhole cannot be dropped down the Manhole. So for Safety and Practicality, all Manhole Covers should be Round.

    5. The Man had Hiccups. The Barman recognized this from his Speech and drew the Gun in order to give him a Shock. It worked and cured the Hiccups- so the Man no longer needed the Water.

    6. The Man is very, very Short and can only reach Halfway up the Elevator Buttons. However, if it is Raining then, he will have his Umbrella with him and can press the Higher Buttons with it.

    Cross Bridge Puzzle

  • There are Four(4) Women who want to cross a bridge.

    They all begin on the same side.

    You have 17 minutes to get all of them across to the other side.

    It is night. There is one flashlight.

    A maximum of two people can cross at one time.

    Any party who crosses, either 1 or 2 people, must have the flashlight with them. The flashlight must be walked back and forth, it cannot be thrown, etc.

    Each woman walks at a different speed.

    A pair must walk together at the rate of the slower woman's pace.

    Woman 1: 1 minute to cross

    Woman 2: 2 minutes to cross

    Woman 3: 5 minutes to cross

    Woman 4: 10 minutes to cross

    For example, if Woman 1 and Woman 4 walk across first, 10 minutes have elapsed when they get to the other side of the bridge. If Woman 4 then returns with the flashlight, a total of 20 minutes have passed and you have failed the mission.

    What is the order required to get all women across in 17 minutes? Now, what's the Other Way?

    Answer:

    Woman 1 and Woman 2 go and Woman 1 comes back.
    Total Time Taken= 3 Minutes.

    Then, Woman 3 and Woman 4 go and Woman 2 comes back.
    Total Time Taken= 12 Minutes.

    Lastly Woman 1 and Woman 2 go.
    Total Time Taken= 2 Minutes.

    Grand Total Time Taken to Cross a Bridge= 3+12+2= 17 Minutes.

    ANSWERS:

    01. Burn both ends of one thread and one end of the other. After the first thread is burnt completely burn the other end of the second thread. The total time taken by threads to burn will be 45 minutes.

    02."I should be poisoned" think a bit and analyze. Still if you don't get keep on reading.

    Puzzle- Where is the remaining 1 Rupee?

  • Three friends went to a hotel. The bill was Rs 75/-

    Each One contributed Rs.25/-.

    The Waiter took the bill to the cashier.

    The cashier was happy & decided to give them a discount of Rs.5/- & asked the waiter to return them Rs.5/-.

    Now the waiter was confused. How to distribute Rs 5 among 3 persons?

    He kept Rs 2 in his pocket & gave one rupee to each one of the 3 persons.

    So initially each one had contributed Rs.25. Now as they are given 1 rupee back, their contribution reduces to Rs 24.

    They all contributed Rs 24 -- that is 24x3=72 & 2 rupees are in the waiter’s pocket.

    The total becomes 74. But they had paid Rs 75.

    Where is the remaining 1 rupee?

    What happened to Rupee One?

    Don’t Know the Answer.
    .
    .
    Answer:  You are in fact supposed to subtract the waiter's Rs.2 and not add it to Rs.72. This is because it is a Rs.5 discount.  That is why you subtract it. 

    Let me explain it to you. Initially the bill was Rs.75 for the three of them, but with the Rs.5 discount, the final bill is Rs.70.

    Initial Bill: Rs.75

    Final Bill: Rs.70

    Discount: Rs.5- (Waiter: Rs. 2 and 3 men: Rs.3) which sums up to Rs.5. 

    Back to the puzzle:  The men were supposed to leave losing only Rs.70, but in fact left losing Rs.72.  Therefore, someone else has pocketed the Rs. 2, in this case was the waiter.  That is why you should subtract Rs. 2 from (Rs.24 x 3) Rs.72 to make Rs. 70, instead of adding it.  You have to find the sum of the discount, which has to sum up to Rs.5.

    I hope this shed some light on this problem.
