Brain Games

Brain Games We are often reminded to exercise our bodies but neglect exercising our brains. Studies have shown that keeping the brain active is associated with a reduced risk for Alzheimer's. Here are some 'brain teasers' for you to try. No cheating . No calculators! You will have to scroll down to find the answers. Good luck! 1. House Numbers My twin lives at the reverse of my house number. The difference between our house numbers ends in two. What are the lowest possible numbers of our house? 2. Egg Equation If a hen and a half lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how many eggs will half a dozen hens lay in half a dozen days? 3. Two By Two You know 2 + 2 comes to the same as 2 x 2. Now find a set of three different whole numbers whose sum is equal to their total when multiplied. 4. Apple Harvest Mrs. Jones was very proud of her apple tree. One autumn, after harvesting her apples, she called her three sons together. “Here are 150 apples,” she said. “I want you to take them to the market tomorrow and sell them for me.” She gave Paul 15 apples, Nick 50, and Ben 85. “Your job,” added Mrs. Jones, “is to sell the apples in such a way that each of you brings home the same amount of money.” How do they do it? 5. Inheritance Granny Adams left half her money to her granddaughter and half that amount to her grandson. She left a sixth to her brother, and the remainder, $1,000, to the dogs’ home. How much did she leave altogether? 6. Brother puzzle One brother says of his younger brother: “Two ago, I was three times as as my brother was. In three ’ time, I will be twice as as my brother.” How are they each now? 7. Rain Man A man was walking in the rain. He was in the middle of nowhere. He had nothing and nowhere to hide. He came home all wet, but not a single hair on his head was wet. How is that possible? 8. Classroom Math 14 of the in the class are girls. 8 of the wear blue shirts. 2 of the are neither girls or wear a blue shirt. If 5 of the are girls who wear blue shirts how many are in the class? 9. The Man and His Car A man pushes his car to a hotel and tells its<b> owner </font></b>that he is bankrupt. Why? 10. The Photograph A man is looking at a photograph of someone. His friend asks who it is. The man replies, “Brothers and sisters, I have none. But that man’s father is my father’s .” Who was in the photograph? How do you think you will do? > > > > > > > > > > Answers 1. The lowest possible numbers for our house are 19 and 91. 2. Two dozen. If you increase both the number of hens and the amount of time available four-fold, the number of eggs increases 16 times. 16 x 1.5 = 24. 3. The three different whole numbers whose sum is equal to their total when multiplied are 1, 2 and 3. 4. The first buyer purchases 12 dozen apples at $1 per dozen. Paul sells him one dozen and has three apples left; Nick sells him four-dozen and has two apples left; and Ben sells him seven-dozen and has one apple left. Then a second buyer comes along and buys all their remaining apples for $3 apiece. The three brothers head home with $10 each. 5. She left $12,000. One half plus one quarter plus one-sixth equals eleven-twelfths. So, the remainder, $1,000, is one-twelfth of the whole, which must have been $12,000. 6. The elder is 17, the younger 7. Two ago, they were 15 and 5 respectively, and in three years time, they will be 20 and 10. 7. The man was bald. 8. 19 9. He is playing Monopoly 10. His  |

Did you get stumped on any of these? Sometimes we jump to conclusions about the answer before reading the entire question.

Twins and a hen and a half live in Mrs. Jones apple tree. They multiplied and moved to the dogs’ home which was in the middle of nowhere and cost $1,000 a month. But they had nothing; they were bankrupt and had nowhere to go. They pushed their car to a hotel while wearing blue shirts that someone took a photograph of for a class. How many photographs of the apple tree were in the dogs’ home?   When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Lol. Well done! Was that to cover up that you didn’t get any correct answers? I might have gotten 1 or 2 but just wasn't in that place.  When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I got none right. I was all prepared for the amount of wood being chucked by wood chucks if they were capable of such a feat, but you didn't ask that one.

You are right, 80% is acceptable for this type of test. I like doing crosswords too. I started them in grade school and found they boosted my spelling and comprehension skills.

|
Well done! That is a plausible alternative answer. How did you do on the rest?
