Can You Solve These Brain Teasers ?
ANSWERS
- The man’s son. (Explanation: “My father’s son” refers to the man himself. So, “that
man’s father” must be him, meaning the person in the picture is his son.)
2. There are only three people: A grandfather, a father, and a son. (Explanation: The grandfather is the father of the father, and the father is the father of the son. This makes two fathers and two sons, but only three people.)
3. The word is “POLICE”.
(Explanation: The numbers represent the positions of letters on a telephone keypad:
7 = P,
0 = O,
1 = L,
2 = I,
3 = C,
5 = E
4. “If I asked the other guard which way leads to the treasure, what would
he say?” Then go the opposite way. (Explanation: The liar will give the wrong answer, and the truth-teller will also give the wrong answer because he is describing the liar’s response.)
5. They are triplets (or more). (Explanation: The puzzle tricks you into assuming there are only two siblings. If they are part of a set of triplets or more, they are not twins!)
