00:00Hey Bright Sider, I see it in your eyes, you need a new riddle workout urgently!

00:09Here it goes, enjoy!

00:15Your first task is to rearrange these letters to spell a single word.

00:19What will you get?

00:30A single word, of course!

00:31The answer was actually in the question itself!

00:38How many letters are in the alphabet?

00:40The answer might be a bit less straightforward than you'd prefer!

00:53You probably already knew that the answer wasn't 26, it would be too simple!

00:58There are 11 letters in the words, the alphabet.

01:06There was a green glass door in the middle of a big city.

01:09Rumor had it something mysterious and beautiful was hidden behind this door.

01:13A group of friends found the door and tried to go through it.

01:16Interestingly, Amanda, Anna and Oliver managed to sneak inside while Lauren and Sebastian

01:22weren't even able to open the door!

01:24What do you think, will Mark get inside or not?

01:37Mark will easily open the door and go through it!

01:39Only people whose name contain an even number of letters can do it!

01:47Imagine you have 3 eggs.

01:49Now I give you 5 eggs.

01:52Then your rooster lays 2 more eggs.

01:54How many eggs do you have?

02:05Count those 5 eggs I gave you!

02:07Your imaginary eggs don't count and roosters don't lay eggs!

02:16Look at this picture attentively.

02:18Can you figure out which of these 3 men is the boss?

02:30It's the man on the right.

02:32Do you see that his suit jacket is hanging on the boss's chair?

02:35No matter who's standing behind the desk, he's the boss!

02:42Now a bit of math for you.

02:44How can 4 be half of 5?

02:56It's actually possible if we use Roman numerals.

02:59Look, this is IV.

03:02And it's indeed half, 2 letters out of 4 of the word 5!

03:10The next riddle for you.

03:11Turn me on my side and I'm everything.

03:14Cut me in half and I'm nothing.

03:16What am I?

03:26I'm the number 8.

03:28And on its side it looks like the infinity sign.

03:30But if you cut it in half, it'll turn into zero.

03:37I can't talk but I'll answer you if you speak to me.

03:40What am I?

03:51I'm an echo.

03:57It's orange and sounds like a parrot.

03:59What is it?

04:10It's a carrot.

04:15It belongs to the month of December but not any other month.

04:19It's also not a holiday.

04:21And what is it?

04:31The answer is simple, the letter D. It helps you from head to toe.

04:39The more it works, the smaller it grows.

04:42What is it?

04:52It's a bar of soap.

04:57How can a pocket have something in it if it has nothing in it?

05:11If it has a hole in it, it can definitely have nothing else.

05:18It goes up and down but never moves.

05:21What is it?

05:31It's stairs.

05:36Can you name four days of the week that begin with the letter T?

05:40To crack this riddle, you need to think a bit outside the box.

05:53These days are Tuesday, Thursday, today and tomorrow.

06:00A is B's father but B isn't A's son.

06:04How is it possible?

06:15B is A's daughter.

06:20What is always in front of you but you can't see it?

06:33What's your future?

06:39When I point up, it's bright.

06:41When I point down, it's dark.

06:43What am I?

06:53I'm a light switch.

06:59What has to be broken before you can use it?

07:11An egg.

07:12Can you find a mistake in this picture?

07:27It's the wrist watch.

07:28Wrist watches are always manufactured with the crown on the right side.

07:36Look at these teapots.

07:38If teapot A contains 40 cups of tea, how many cups of tea can teapot B hold?

07:53Even though teapot B is larger than teapot A, its spout is placed at the level that corresponds

07:57to the middle of teapot A, which means that if you pour inside more than 20 cups, the

08:03tea will start overflowing.

08:09In what case is this equation correct?

08:21When we're talking about time, 1 PM plus 20 minutes is the same as 2 PM minus 40 minutes.

08:31A few college students went camping.

08:33They were dancing near the campfire when it suddenly started raining.

08:37The campfire got extinguished.

08:39One of the students, Eden, had a flashlight and some batteries, eight in total.

08:44Four of them were charged and four were not.

08:47Eden didn't know which batteries were charged.

08:49What is the least number of attempts Eden will need to light up the flashlight?

09:03Eden will need seven attempts.

09:05See for yourself.

09:06He'll need to put batteries into three groups, two groups of three and one group of two.

09:11It guarantees that at least one of the groups will have gotten two working batteries.

09:15Each group of three requires three attempts to verify if two batteries of the group are

09:19working, while the group of two needs one attempt.

09:23So the total number of attempts is seven.

09:29Amy overslept this morning and she's going to be late for work.

09:33She gets ready, runs to the bus stop and hops on the only bus waiting there.

09:37Uh-oh, it seems to be the wrong bus.

09:40There are three doors at the back.

09:42The driver tells Amy that only one leads to safety.

09:46Behind the first door, there's a giant elephant that will step on anyone who isn't gray.

09:51Behind the second one, there's a tiger that will eat anyone who isn't orange.

09:56Behind the third door, there's an anaconda that will swallow anyone that isn't green.

10:01Amy also sees two buckets of paint.

10:03One is yellow and the other is red.

10:06Which door should the girl choose?

10:17She should mix the red and yellow paint to get the orange color, paint herself and head

10:21out through the second door.

10:27You're heading to the underground parking to get your car when the electricity goes

10:30out.

10:31You see a glowing three-digit PIN code lock on your car.

10:35On the floor, there's a piece of paper with 009 written on it.

10:40You enter the number, but of course, the attempt is unsuccessful.

10:44If only everything was so simple!

10:46Can you figure out the correct code?

10:57All you need to do is flip the paper upside down and you'll get the correct number.

11:01It's 6-0-0!

11:07John is looking for a gift at a shopping mall.

11:10One of the stores has a mysterious extension that leads to a vault filled with diamonds

11:14and gold jewelry.

11:16As soon as he walks in, the owner pulls the bars down and locks him in the room.

11:20He tells John he has to eat one of the three cookies lying on the table, then he'll be

11:25set free and get the treasure.

11:27The first cookie will turn John into an animal.

11:30The second cookie will make him a giant.

11:33The last one will make him invisible.

11:35Which one should he eat?

11:46The first one!

11:47He can turn into a mouse and squeeze through the bars.

11:50That's how he'll get out and win the gold!

11:57Mark and Amy were parents to a boy called Jacob.

12:00One day, Mark's laptop disappeared and nobody in the house could find it.

12:05They called the police.

12:06When a detective arrived and searched the scene, he found a note on Mark's desk.

12:11It was written by Jacob.

12:13The note read, WOW!

12:15The detective immediately figured out who had taken the laptop.

12:19Can you understand it too?

12:30It was Amy.

12:31If you turn the note upside down, it'll read, MOM!

12:38One day, a public library made a strange announcement.

12:41Each member could borrow as many books as they wanted.

12:45They also didn't have to return them for the next half a year.

12:53Why?

12:58The library was moving to a new building, but they didn't have enough money.

13:02And this way, the patrons would move most of the books by themselves!
