Critical Thinking-Thinking outside of the Box

by Greg Hardy
1

Number 10

9 Surprisingly Tricky Word Problems.

2

Number 1

How can you throw a ball as hard as you can and have it come back to you, even if it doesn't bounce off anything? There is nothing attached to it, and no one else catches or throws it back to you.

3

Number 11

Answers

1.  Throw it straight up into the air! Gravity will bring it back to you.

4

Number 2

I have seven candles lit. Two blew out. How many candles do I have left?

5

Number 12

2.  Seven — just because you blow the candle out doesn't mean they disappear. 

6

Number 3

What can travel around the world while staying in a corner?

7

Number 13

3. A stamp! Well, on most envelopes and postcards, anyway.

8

Number 4

What has four letters, sometimes nine letters, but never has five letters...

9

Number 14

4. This tricky play on words fools you by making it seem like it's a question when it's actually a statement:

"What" is a four letter word, "sometimes" is a nine letter word, and "never" is a five letter word. 

10

Number 5

If Teresa's daughter is my daughter's mother, who am I to Teresa?

11

Number 15

5. You're Teresa's daughter! You're daughter's mother is Teresa's daughter — get it?

12

Number 6

Who makes it has no need of it. Who buys it has no use for it. Who uses it can neither see nor feel it. What is it?

13

Number 16

6. It might be a little grim, but this clever riddle is describing a coffin. 

14

Number 7

What occurs once in every minute, twice in every moment, yet never in a thousand years?

15

Number 17

7. What occurs once in every minute, twice in every moment, yet never in a thousand years?

16

Number 8

A mom and dad have four daughters, and each daughter has a brother. How many people are in the family?

17

Number 18

8. Nope, the answer isn't 10 — each of the sisters share one brother, meaning five siblings and two parents, making them a family of seven.

18

Number 9

What's a 9-letter word that becomes a new word each time you drop a letter?

19

Number 19

Startling! See below for the breakdown. 

  • Get rid of the L, and you get: STARTING
  • Get rid of one T, and you get: STARING
  • Get rid of the A, and you gets: STRING
  • Get rid of the R, and you get: STING
  • Get rid of the other T, and you get: SING
  • Get rid of the G, and you get: SIN
  • Get rid of the S, and you get: IN
  • Get rid of the N, and you get: I
