Brain teasers

• Train A and train B are crossing the country,


from coast to coast, over 3,000 miles of
railroad track. Train A is going from east to
west at 80 miles per hour, and Train B is going
from west to east at 90 miles per hour. Which
train will be closer to the west coast when
they meet?
• When the trains meet, they will be at exactly
the same point. Therefore, they will each be
the same distance from the west coast.
• One day, two mothers and two daughters
went shopping for shoes. Their shopping
spree was successful — each bought a pair of
shoes, and all together, they had three pairs.
How is this possible?
• Only three people went shopping: a
grandmother, a mother, and a daughter — but
remember that the mother was the
grandmother's daughter!
• There is a girl reading quietly in a dark room.
All the lights are off and she has no special
night vision or anything. How is she reading?
• The girl is blind, she is reading Braille .
• If none of the following statements are true, who can we
conclude broke the vase?
Mike: Sally broke the vase.
Tom: Mike will tell you who broke the vase.
April: Tom, Mike & I could not have broken the vase.
Chris: I did not break the vase.
Erik: Mike broke the vase, so Tom & April couldn't have.
Jim: I broke the vase, so Tom is innocent.
• Chris. If the statement "I did not break the
vase" is definitely false, we can be certain that
Chris broke the vase. Statements that some
individuals "couldn't have" broken the vase
only mean that these individuals could have
broken the vase, but do not guarantee that
they did. Jim's statement that "Tom is
innocent" is too vague. We know that Tom is
not innocent, but this does not assure us that
he broke the vase.
• A painter was hired to repaint water tank which
was located just off a very busy street in the
centre of the town.
• Everyday for two weeks the man painted
diligently but he was never seen working by
anyone and nobody noticed any change in the
tower. When he had finished he was
congratulated for doing such a splendid job and
paid by the Eatonville Town Clerk.
• Why?
• Did he actually paint the tower?
• Yes
• Is there some way that the painter could do
the job and not be seen?
• Yes
• Did the shape of the water tower affect the
view of the painter working?
• No
•
The painter had painted the inside of the
water tower, as he had been employed to do...
• You have nine sticks. Without cutting any in
half how can you make ten? Answer on next
