00:00Hey, Bright Siders! Good news! I've got a new brain workout for you.

00:04Let's see how alert and attentive you are today.

00:07First, some warm-up. Look at this image attentively and try to spot a teddy bear.

00:22Here it is! Under the table! Great job!

00:26Now, find a gift box.

00:31It was tough! Here it is! All the way up there!

00:36Can you find a coffee cup in this picture?

00:49Oh, wow! Who would have thought? I didn't notice it! And you?

00:54Oh, wow! Who would have thought? I didn't notice it! And you?

01:00Look at this picture attentively. According to his message, this guy seems to be missing his girlfriend.

01:06But can you figure out if he's cheating?

01:08Yep, unfortunately, he is. Look at the napkin. There's a lipstick print on it. He must be with another girl.

01:26How about this girl? In her message, she's complaining about to her boyfriend that her evening is lonely. But is it?

01:38Pay attention to the shower. There's some guy in there. Duh!

01:48Look at this image attentively. Can you find three words hiding here?

02:01Here they are! Ring, love and rose.

02:05Now, look at this robber. He seems to be in a museum, examining priceless exhibits. Can you figure out which one he's going to steal?

02:22Look, he doesn't have a knife on him to cut the painting out of its frame. And the necklace is protected by an alarm.

02:29So, most likely, the thief will steal the golden goblet.

02:33You're on a camping trip with your friends. While they're putting up a tent in the middle of the forest, you decide to wander around and pick up some firewood.

02:42Soon, you notice that you've got lost only an hour later. It's getting dark. Suddenly, you see a tiny house.

02:50You knock on the door and see a magician. After listening to your story, the magician offers his help.

02:55I can give you one superpower, but you need to choose carefully.

03:00What do you need more? Night vision? Super hearing? Or the ability to run lightning fast? What should you pick?

03:17Being able to run very fast won't help you because you don't know where to run.

03:21Night vision will be useless because trees will prevent you from seeing your friends. Pick super hearing. It'll help you hear your friends calling you. They must be looking for you.

03:32Laura had always dreamed of having a dog. As soon as she started living on her own, she got herself an extremely expensive puppy.

03:40Once, she had to go on a business trip. She asked Sarah, her housekeeper, Annabelle, her cook, and Phoebe, her sister, to look after the pet.

03:48But when Laura came back, her pooch was gone, and all three women claimed they didn't know what happened. Look at them attentively. Who is lying?

04:06It's the cook! See, it's the puppy's collar in her pocket.

04:12Once, a man came to a police station. He said that he had been robbed on his way to the bank.

04:18He was carrying a briefcase with a big sum of money, when a man who was wearing a black mask and gloves attacked him.

04:25The robber snatched the briefcase and ran away. The police officer listened to the man and asked him about a fresh cut on his right cheek.

04:34The man replied that it was from a silver ring the criminal had been wearing.

04:38After these words, the policeman immediately knew the man was lying. How did he realize that? Are you as attentive as the police officer to figure it out?

04:48The man couldn't know about the ring on the robber's finger since he claimed that the latter had been wearing gloves.

05:04Kevin was a doctor from Boston. Once, he asked his boss to let him attend a medical conference in France.

05:11The boss let Kevin go, but asked him to send a photo report as soon as he got to Europe.

05:15Several days later, the man received an email from Kevin that said,

05:19Hello from France! That's me right now!

05:22After looking at the photo, the boss realized Kevin had lied to him. How did he figure it out?

05:36In the photo, there is a clock on the wall that shows exactly the same time as the clock in the boss's office.

05:42If Kevin was in Paris, the clock would show a big time difference.

05:48One guy snuck into a fruit store and wanted to steal some fruit.

05:52He took four bananas, two apples, a watermelon, and a pineapple.

05:56But suddenly, someone grabbed his hand. It was the store owner.

06:00He said, I'll let you go if you solve my riddle.

06:02A pineapple and an apple cost $18. Three apples cost $15. Half a watermelon and two bananas cost $12.

06:11So, how much do four bananas, a watermelon, two apples, and a pineapple cost?

06:17The guy thought for a minute and said something. After that, the store owner let him go.

06:22What answer did the guy give?

06:33The guy said that the fruit cost $47. If three apples are $15, then one apple is $5.

06:41Knowing this, we can figure out that the cost of the pineapple, $18 minus $5 equals $13.

06:47And if half a watermelon and two bananas are $12, then a whole watermelon and four bananas cost $24.

06:55And if we sum it all up, we'll get $47.

06:59Newlyweds left for their honeymoon and asked their neighbor to look after their house.

07:04When they returned, the wife found out that she had lost all her expensive jewelry because of a power failure.

07:11The woman had hidden her jewelry in an unusual but supposedly safe place.

07:16The house wasn't burgled. The neighbor was an honest person. The jewelry got lost by accident.

07:21What happened?

07:29The wife had hid her jewelry in the freezer, in a bag with frozen food.

07:34After the power failure, all the food went bad.

07:37The kind-hearted neighbor decided to help and threw away all the bad food, together with the jewelry.

07:46Oliver was on his way to another city. It was late evening, and at some moment, the man felt tired and sleepy.

07:53He immediately stopped at the nearest hotel and went inside.

07:55While the receptionist was looking for an available room, Oliver saw a breakfast flyer with mouth-watering eggs on it.

08:02Excuse me, could I have four fried eggs right now?

08:05The receptionist wasn't sure about that.

08:08Our cook bought eight eggs in the morning. He broke three and fried three.

08:12So, were there enough eggs left for Oliver?

08:26The cook broke three eggs and cooked them. It leaves us with five extra eggs, which should be more than enough for Oliver.

08:36The police arrived in response to Mrs. White's call.

08:39Someone had broken into her house and stolen a jewelry box.

08:43One of the police officers noticed that the lock hadn't been picked.

08:46He asked Mrs. White if she had given her key to anyone.

08:49She said I left the city for a few days and asked some of my neighbors to take care of my cats.

08:53I gave them my key. The police questioned the neighbors.

08:57Kate told them she had come every day to take care of the cats.

09:01Mark said he had come to water Mrs. White's plants.

09:04And Mary told the officers that she had come to borrow a blender from Mrs. White.

09:09She added that she often did it and her neighbor knew about it.

09:12Can you figure out who was lying?

09:24Look at the cat's bowls. They're empty.

09:27And Kate also hasn't cleaned after Mrs. White's pets.

09:30So, it doesn't look like she had been taking care of animals.

09:33Kate is lying.

09:37Two planes took off at the same moment.

09:40They both had to fly across the Atlantic.

09:42But one plane departed from New York and headed for Paris.

09:45And the other left Paris and flew to New York.

09:47The first plane's speed was 650 mph and the other one was moving at a speed of 700 mph.

09:54Which plane was closer to Paris when they met?

10:06They were both the same distance from Paris since they met in the same place.
