00:00 Hello there, Bright Siders! These riddles are gonna be a bit different than usual.
00:04 No witches, detectives, or whatever. Let's go!
00:08 Take a look at this pic. On the left, you've got a set of words.
00:13 They're not linked to each other in any way.
00:15 On the right, you've got a set of weirdly shaped geometrical objects.
00:20 Your task is to match each word to the corresponding objects.
00:24 [music]
00:30 Alrighty, let's see the answers.
00:33 Voila! Let me break it down for you.
00:35 It's necessary to look for external similarities between words and pictures.
00:40 This is called word recognition.
00:42 We recognize words as a whole, not by individual letters.
00:46 Easier to spot spelling errors. That's why we can read abbreviations.
00:50 We recognize familiar words even if letters are missing.
00:54 Next one. You gotta use your math skills here.
00:58 So, in front of you lies a whole treasure.
01:00 Ten bags, each of which contains one thousand coins.
01:04 Nine sacks contain real gold coins, and one contains extremely fake ones.
01:10 A real gold coin weighs five grams, while a fake one weighs four grams.
01:16 How to determine in one weighing on the scales which of the bags contains fake coins?
01:22 The scales are accurate, but there is only one approach to them.
01:26 [music]
01:32 Here's the right approach.
01:34 We take one coin from the first bag, two from the second, three from the third, and so on, up to ten coins.
01:41 Weigh these 55 coins.
01:44 Gold coins could weigh 275 grams.
01:47 If one gram is missing, then fake coins are in the first bag.
01:51 If two grams are missing, then fake coins are in the second bag, and so on.
01:56 It's curious that this task is easily scalable.
01:59 The number of bags is not important.
02:01 At least three, at least a thousand, everything is solved by one weighing.
02:06 This riddle got pretty viral on TikTok, but in case you missed it, you can try to solve it right now.
02:13 He claims that according to the FBI, if you solve this riddle, you're smart enough to become a special agent.
02:20 So, a man and a woman go out to dinner on their first date.
02:24 The evening is very hot, and they bring water with ice.
02:28 The woman is terribly thirsty, and she drinks three glasses in one gulp.
02:33 A man drinks one glass in small sips throughout the evening.
02:37 Later, he writes to her that he suddenly became ill, weakness, dizziness, breathing problems.
02:43 At midnight, he passes away.
02:45 The police call the woman in for questioning and announce that there was poison in her glass and in the man's glass.
02:52 It was poison, so why did the man get poisoned and the woman not?
02:56 I'm sure you already guessed the poison was in the ice.
03:06 The woman drank so fast that the ice cubes had no time to melt.
03:10 So, the poison had no effect on her.
03:13 The man drank slowly, and the ice melted.
03:16 So, he swallowed poisonous water.
03:18 I guess pretty much any bright-sider can become a special agent.
03:23 Now, look at this picture.
03:25 Keep in mind that it's not that simple, and only 1% of people can figure out what's wrong with this image.
03:38 Hey, look closer! The woman in the red dress on the right doesn't have an umbrella, but she doesn't get wet.
03:44 Two coins are worth 30 cents.
03:48 One of them is not 5 cents.
03:50 What are these coins?
03:52 This one was easy. 25 cents and 5 cents.
04:01 One coin is not 5 cents, but the second is 5 cents.
04:06 Look at this picture closely, because the riddle is all about your attention.
04:11 Now tell me, what time is in the picture?
04:14 To make it a little bit easier, I'm gonna give you a couple of options.
04:18 A. It's 5 am.
04:20 B. It's 11 am.
04:22 C. It's 7 am.
04:31 Take a look at the long shadows and the snow lying on the cars and the burning lanterns.
04:36 Well, I guess it's 7 o'clock in the morning in the picture.
04:40 Look at the picture. Do you spot anything weird here?
04:46 The shipping deck seems to be way too slim.
04:55 Seems like it was built after the ship had arrived at the port.
04:59 Allison is quite a picky eater.
05:02 She likes grapes, but she can't stand peaches.
05:05 She's into squash, but she never eats carrots.
05:08 So now you have to figure out what Allison prefers, pumpkins or apples.
05:14 This girl may be finicky, but she does have some logic.
05:24 She only eats things that grow on vines.
05:27 So she's gonna prefer pumpkins over apples.
05:30 There's a clerk at the butcher shop.
05:32 He's 6 feet tall and he wears size 13 sneakers.
05:36 What does he weigh?
05:38 Of course, it's meat!
05:46 There's a word in the English language in which the first two letters signify a male.
05:52 The first three letters signify a female.
05:55 The first four letters signify a great man.
05:58 And the whole word means a great woman.
06:01 Can you guess this word?
06:03 It's the word "heroine"!
06:11 A hen and a half lays an egg and a half in a day and a half.
06:16 How many eggs does one hen lay in one day?
06:21 Yeah, it's pretty hard to think of a hen and a half.
06:24 As for an egg and a half, I can only imagine it in a cooked form.
06:28 One and a half days is the easiest criterion here.
06:31 So, with all the given information, it must be that one hen would lay one egg in the same time period.
06:38 One and a half days.
06:40 But if one hen lays one egg in one and a half days,
06:44 it means that one hen would lay only one egg in the same time period.
06:48 And if one hen lays two eggs in one day,
06:51 it means that one hen would lay only two thirds of an egg in one day.
06:55 So the answer is two thirds of an egg.
06:58 A young man wants to have it, but when he grows up, he no longer wants it.
07:03 He attacks it with a blade in his hands, but it's always in vain.
07:07 What is it?
07:08 It's a beard!
07:16 I've got a riddle rhyme for you.
07:18 I'm rather large and usually majestic.
07:21 I'm every hue of the rainbow.
07:23 I can eat you, I may heat you.
07:25 You only wish you could see me.
07:27 What am I?
07:28 It's a dragon!
07:36 The last but not the least.
07:41 Get ready, this one's gonna be pretty long.
07:44 Carl's two grandmothers want to see him every weekend,
07:47 but they live on the opposite sides of town.
07:50 Not to offend any of the grannies,
07:53 he tells them that every Sunday he'll head to the subway station
07:57 nearest to his apartment at a random time of the day
08:00 and will hop on the next train that arrives.
08:03 If it happens to be the train traveling north,
08:06 he'll visit his grandma Erica uptown.
08:09 And if it happens to be the train traveling south,
08:12 he'll visit his grandma Liz downtown.
08:15 Both of his grandmothers are OK with this plan
08:18 since they both know the northbound and southbound trains run every 20 minutes.
08:24 But after a few months of doing this,
08:26 grandma Liz complains that she sees him only one out of five Sundays.
08:32 Carl claims he chooses a random time each day.
08:36 How can this be?
08:38 Keep in mind that the trains always arrive at their scheduled times.
08:43 Although both trains come exactly every 20 minutes,
08:54 the timing matters a lot.
08:57 Let's imagine the northbound train comes on the hour,
09:00 on the 20 and on the 40,
09:02 so at 8, 820, 840, 9, etc.
09:08 Now let's suppose the southbound train comes on the 4, 24 and 44,
09:13 so 804, 824, 844, 904, etc.
09:19 This means in any hour,
09:21 there will be only 12 minutes in which the southbound train
09:24 will be the next train to arrive.
09:26 So, if Carl arrives between 8 and 804, between 820 and 824,
09:32 or between 840 and 844,
09:35 he'll get on the southbound train.
09:37 Otherwise, he'll get on the northbound train.
09:40 But as Carl always comes at a random time,
09:43 and the southbound train supposedly arrives after the northbound trains,
09:47 Carl gets to see his grandma Liz pretty rarely.
09:51 That's it for today.
