00:00Well, have you been looking for a chance to put on your detective hat?

00:04Well, here you go – a new portion of tricky riddles to sharpen your mind!

00:13Melissa met her guests who came to her birthday party.

00:17Catherine came before Bob, Aaron after Raynon, Bob arrived before Raynon, and Timothy came

00:23after Aaron.

00:25So which guest arrived last?

00:37Timothy was the last one to come.

00:44Now let's say you have two jugs.

00:46One of them holds exactly 3 gallons of water, and the other holds 5 gallons.

00:51With the help of just these two jugs and a fire hose, how can you measure out exactly

00:564 gallons of water?

01:07Fill the 5-gallon jug to the top, then pour it into the 3-gallon jug until it's full.

01:13You now have 2 gallons of water remaining in the 5-gallon jug.

01:17Pour out the water from the 3-gallon jug, and then pour the 2 gallons from the 5-gallon

01:21jug into the 3-gallon one.

01:24Finally, fill the 5-gallon jug to the top and pour it into the 3-gallon jug until it's

01:29full.

01:30There was only enough space left for one more gallon in the 3-gallon jug, so you now have

01:34exactly 4 gallons in the 5-gallon jug.

01:42Look at this image attentively and try to find a mistake.

01:55There's no river on the other side of the bridge.

01:57Where does it disappear?

02:03Now look at these men very closely.

02:05Can you figure out which of them is a fake doctor?

02:18The doctor on the left may be wearing casual clothes, but he has his badge on, which probably

02:23means he was called to work urgently and didn't have time to change.

02:28He's also holding a stethoscope.

02:30The doctor in the middle is holding a spoon.

02:32And even though it looks suspicious, he has just given a child patient some cough syrup.

02:37You can also see a badge on his uniform.

02:40As for the man on the right, he's not a doctor.

02:43There's no badge on his uniform.

02:45And if you examine him more attentively, you'll notice the police uniform under his white

02:50coat.

02:51He's most likely a police officer undercover.

02:58Christy poured herself a full cup of tea and drank half of it.

03:02Then she filled the cup with milk.

03:04Then she drank half of the drink again.

03:06Then she refilled it with milk again and drank the rest of it.

03:10Can you figure out if Christy drank more tea or more milk?

03:23She drank the same amount of tea and milk.

03:26Look, Christy ended up drinking all her tea since the cup was eventually empty.

03:31Christy refilled the milk two times, and every time, it was half a cup of milk.

03:36Totally a full cup of milk.

03:42Deceptor, a famous magician, announced that he could throw a ping-pong ball in such a

03:47way that it would go a short distance, come to a complete stop, and go in the opposite

03:52direction.

03:53He also clarified that he wouldn't bounce the ball off of any object or tie anything

03:57to it.

03:58Indeed, he managed to perform the trick.

04:01How did he do it?

04:12He threw the ball straight up into the air.

04:19Can you name four days of the week that start with the letter T?

04:32These days are Tuesday, Thursday, today, and tomorrow.

04:41Now listen up.

04:43All statements are true except one.

04:46Three days ago was not Friday.

04:48The day after tomorrow will be Saturday.

04:52Tomorrow is not Wednesday.

04:54In five days, it's a day off.

04:57Yesterday was not Saturday.

04:59So the question is, what day of the week is today?

05:02Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday?

05:16It's Thursday.

05:17Let's see how we can figure it out.

05:19Three days ago was not Friday.

05:21If this statement is true, then today is not Monday.

05:25The day after tomorrow will be Saturday.

05:27If it's true, then today is Thursday.

05:31Tomorrow is not Wednesday.

05:32Then today is not Tuesday.

05:35It's a day off in five days.

05:37If this statement was true, today would be Monday or Tuesday.

05:41But in this case, the statement contradicts the first and third ones.

05:45It must be false.

05:47Yesterday was not Saturday.

05:49It means that today is not Sunday.

05:52Based on all this, we can conclude that today is Thursday.

06:00There were two plastic jugs filled with water.

06:03Can you put all the water into one barrel without using any dividers and still tell

06:08which water comes from which jug?

06:20You can do it by freezing the water in one or both jugs and then cutting the plastic

06:24away, leaving only the ice.

06:27After that, you can put the chunks of ice into the barrel.

06:30This way, you'll be able to tell which water comes from which jug.

06:38A farmer in Florida owns a beautiful pear tree.

06:41He supplies fruit to a nearby grocery store.

06:44One day, the store owner calls the farmer to check how much fruit is available for him

06:49to buy.

06:50The farmer knows that the main trunk has 24 branches.

06:54Each branch has 12 boughs, and each bough has 6 twigs.

06:58As each twig bears one piece of fruit, how many plums will the farmer be able to sell?

07:13Unfortunately, none.

07:15At least not from this tree.

07:16A pear tree doesn't produce plums.

07:24You have 5 jars with pills.

07:26Each pill weighs 10 grams, except for contaminated pills contained in one jar.

07:31There, each pill weighs 9 grams.

07:34You have a scale, but can you tell which jar has the contaminated pills after making just

07:39one measurement?

07:50To find the contaminated pills, you should follow the following steps.

07:54Take out 1 pill from jar number 1, 2 pills from jar number 2, 3 pills from jar number

08:003, 4 pills from jar number 4, and 5 pills from jar number 5.

08:06Put all these 15 pills on the scale.

08:08The correct weight should be 150 grams.

08:12But since one of the jars has contaminated pills, the weight will definitely be less

08:16than 150 grams.

08:18If the weight is 149 grams, then jar number 1 has the contaminated pills because there

08:24is only 1 pill like that.

08:26If the weight is 148 grams, then the contaminated pills are in jar number 2.

08:32If the weight is 147 grams, the contaminated pills are in jar number 3, and so on.

08:43Many many years ago, one guy was captured by an evil witch who kept him in her house.

08:48There was a cellar door in the house, and the witch warned the guy not to open it because

08:53he was not ready to see what was behind it.

08:56Can you guess what was on the other side of the door that the witch didn't want the

09:00guy to see?

09:11The guy was actually locked in the cellar, and on the other side of the door was the

09:15rest of the house and the outside world.

09:18The witch just didn't want the guy to escape.

09:25One day, a boss told his employees, I can fight and beat any man who works here.

09:30A new employee, a tall ex-prize fighter, decided to challenge the boss.

09:35Interestingly, the boss won the bet even though he didn't defeat the man.

09:40What did the boss do?

09:51Not to lose face, he fired the new employee on the spot.

09:55This way, when he defeated the boss, he wasn't working in the company anymore.

10:04Marty and Jill wanted to copy three 60-minute tapes.

10:07They have two tape recorders that will dub the tapes for them so they can do two at a

10:12time.

10:13It takes 30 minutes for each side to complete.

10:15Therefore, in one hour, two tapes will be completed, and in another hour, the third

10:20will be done.

10:21Jill says all three tapes can be finished in 90 minutes.

10:25Can you figure out how it is possible?

10:37Let's call the tapes 1, 2, and 3 with sides A and B. In the first 30 minutes, the guys

10:43will work with 1A and 2A.

10:45In the second 30 minutes, they will record 1B and 3A.

10:49Now, tape 1 is completed.

10:51Finally, in the last half hour, they will do tape 2B and 3B.

11:06That's it for today!
