00:00Hey there, Bright Sider, I've got some refreshing riddles for you.

00:07Let's start with a warming-up activity.

00:10Your main goal is to answer fast and correctly, of course.

00:17I have cities, but no houses.

00:19I have forests, but no trees.

00:22I have water, but no fish.

00:24What am I?

00:29Right, I'm a map!

00:40What can run but never walks?

00:43Has a mouth but never talks?

00:45Certainly not me.

00:46Has a head but never weeps?

00:48Has a bed but never sleeps?

01:01It's a river.

01:02Did you guess it right?

01:09What runs all around your backyard yet never moves?

01:16Psst, it's a fence.

01:27I'm a box that holds keys without locks, yet my keys can unlock your imagination.

01:33What am I?

01:43A book.

01:48Now I've got a bit tougher brain teaser for you.

01:51What TV series is represented by this rebus?

01:54Here's a hint.

01:55The first, third, and fifth names are there only to fill space.

02:09And the answer is Even Stevens.

02:11All of the even numbers correspond to some kind of a variation of the name Steven.

02:20Now which letter comes next in this sequence?

02:23You can pick from the following letters L, V, Y, T, or D.

02:38We need the letter Y.

02:39The sequence stands for second, minute, hour, day, week, month, and year.

02:53A cowboy rode into town on Friday.

02:56He stayed for three nights and rode out on Friday.

02:59How is it possible?

03:10His horse's name was Friday.

03:17Six children have been measured.

03:19Turns out Weldon is taller than Delia, but shorter than Zena.

03:23Leisha is taller than Benito, but shorter than Delia and Weldon.

03:28Benito is not the shortest.

03:30Can you put the kids in order of height from the tallest to the shortest one?

03:44The right order is Zena, Weldon, Delia, Leisha, Benito, and Charlotte.

03:54Look at these athletes.

03:55Who will win the race?

04:06The left shoe of the guy on the right is untied, so he isn't likely to be the first one to

04:10get to the finish line.

04:12The guy on the left seems to be really exhausted, so he can't be the first one either.

04:17Meanwhile, the guy in the middle looks really confident, so he has the highest chance of

04:22winning this race.

04:27Now get ready for a nice logic puzzle.

04:29You've been invited to a party at Charlie's house, but you've never been there before.

04:34The guy has 7 friends who live nearby.

04:37They've given you a map showing all their houses, as well as Charlie's house, and provided

04:42you with the following information.

04:44Daniel, I can't see Benito's house because Greta's house is in the way.

04:49Adam, I live directly, but not diagonally, across the street from Daniel.

04:54Benito, Elena's house is to the west of my house.

04:59Elena, I have to cross 3 streets to arrive at Franco's house.

05:04Al, I live east of Benito.

05:07Can you figure out which house is Charlie's?

05:19It's house E, and that's where the rest of the friends live!

05:26On April Fool's Day, a teenager decided to play a prank on his parents.

05:30He replaced salt in 3 out of the 4 salt shakers with sugar and left messages on each of them.

05:37Shaker A, this is salt.

05:39Shaker B, this is salt.

05:42Shaker C, this is sugar.

05:44Shaker D, the salt is not in Shaker B.

05:48If only one of these inscriptions is true, which shaker contains salt?

06:02The only truthful statement is Statement D. The salt is not in Shaker B. Otherwise,

06:07two statements will be true, and it's against the rules.

06:10And if Statement D is true, then the salt is in Shaker C.

06:19If Teresa's daughter is my daughter's mother, what am I to Teresa?

06:23You can choose from the following options.

06:34The correct answer is, I'm Teresa's daughter.

06:38You see, in this riddle, you, the reader, are Teresa's daughter.

06:41That's what you are to her.

06:44How come?

06:45Well, if Teresa has a daughter who is also the mother of your daughter, you are Teresa's

06:50daughter.

06:51Now let's break it down in a different way.

06:53Teresa is your daughter's grandmother, which makes Teresa your mother and makes you the

06:58daughter of Teresa.

06:59The tricky part is the multiple-choice answers.

07:02You might've tried to figure it out as if you're an additional person to the riddle,

07:06when in fact, you're inserted into the riddle from the get-go.

07:10If Teresa's daughter, which is you, is my daughter's mother, what am I to Teresa?

07:16The answer is already there.

07:20A cat is out on a hunt, and a mouse is hiding from the predator.

07:25Can you spot the mouse before the cat does?

07:36Here it is!

07:41Find the number that best completes the following sequence.

07:53This number is 16, because each next number adds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, respectively, to

08:02the preceding number.

08:07Let's have a small break and crack some short riddles, but you need to be fast!

08:15I make two people out of one.

08:17What am I?

08:27A mirror!

08:31It comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years.

08:45It's the letter M.

08:46What's more useful when it's broken?

09:01The answer is an egg.

09:06Did a computer eat on the moon?

09:18Space bars?

09:23Now look at this picture and try to figure out which figure doesn't belong here.

09:36It's the triangle.

09:38It has only 3 line segments, while the other figures have 4.

09:45Another image to examine.

09:47Can you deduce which woman is rich?

09:58Sarah's watch is fake.

10:00Look at the way the name of the brand is written, Versace.

10:04Pam's gold bracelet looks very old and has scratches all over it.

10:08At the same time, Jessica's wearing a real Tiffany bracelet.

10:16Mr. and Mrs. Anderson wanted to celebrate their wedding anniversary.

10:20They were going to organize an extravagant party and invite hundreds of guests.

10:25But Mrs. Anderson was worried about all the expensive stuff they had in their villa.

10:29The couple decided to invite a detective to look after the guests.

10:33And indeed, in the middle of the party, the detective noticed a thief.

10:38Look at the people gathered in the garden and try to spot the criminal.

10:51It's the guy on the left.

10:52He's trying to steal a woman's bracelet.

10:58One morning, Donna came to the office and found a box of chocolates on her desk.

11:03There was a strange note.

11:05October 7th, May 3rd, August 1st, January 3rd.

11:10Can you help Donna understand who presented her the sweets?

11:22Her secret admirer is Ryan.

11:25Those are not dates.

11:26The numbers actually means the needed letter in the name of the month.

11:34Detective Mitchell was following a bank robber, but after the criminal turned the corner,

11:38he seemed to vanish into thin air.

11:41After wandering around for a while, the detective came across a small park with a lake.

11:46Right on the shore, there were several marble statues.

11:49The man was about to pass by when something drew his attention.

11:53He realized where the criminal was.

11:55Can you figure it out?

12:06One of the statues is looking at its watch.

12:09It's the bank robber.

12:14Dennis is taking part in a competition.

12:17If his last answer is correct, he'll get a prize – an expensive watch.

12:21But first, he needs to figure out which of these two watches is real and which is just a toy.

12:36The watch on the left is a toy.

12:38Look at its minute hand – it's too long and won't be able to pass all the way around

12:42the watch face.

12:47Lisa worked as a teaching assistant at a college.

12:50One day, she had to look after a group of students who were writing an exam.

12:54Lisa knew that some of them were going to cheat.

12:57And indeed, soon after the exam started, the girl spotted one person who was cheating.

13:03Who was it?

13:13The guy in the back of the classroom – he's got the answers written on his arm.
