Solving brain teasers boosts brain power, keeps your memory strong, and entertains everyone to no end. See if you can figure out these tricky puzzles - without cheating please. ;-)
Exercise is important, so here are a few more brain teasers:
1. Fourteen of the kids in the class are girls. Eight of the kids wear blue shirts. Two of the kids are neither girls or wear a blue shirt. If five of the kids are girls who wear blue shirts, how many kids are in the class?
2. A man was walking in the rain. He was in the middle of nowhere. He had nothing and nowhere to hide. He came home all wet, but not a single hair on his head was wet. Why is that?
3. An Arab sheik is old and must leave his fortune to one of his two sons. He makes a proposition: Both sons will ride their camels in a race, and whichever camel crosses the finish line LAST will win the fortune for its owner. During the race, the two brothers wander aimlessly for days, neither willing to cross the finish line. In desperation, they ask a wise man for advice. He tells them something; then the brothers leap onto the camels and charge toward the finish line. What did the wise man say?
4. I am the beginning of sorrow and the end of sickness. You cannot express happiness without me yet I am in the midst of crosses. I am always in risk yet never in danger. You may find me in the sun, but I am never out of darkness.
5. Your parents have six sons including you and each son has one sister. How many people are in the family?
ENJOY!!! The 1st person to get them ALL correct wins a prize!!!
Didi7: Why "Grant", of course. It's his tomb after all!
It's a trick question. Actually nobody is "buried" in Grant's Tomb. 18th American President Ulysses S. Grant and his wife Julia are in sarcophaguses above the ground in the tomb. There is no dirt above them so they are not "buried".

Come on now...give it a go.
Come to think of it, # 3 might be too difficult, so try this one instead: 3. What has cities, but no houses; forests, but no trees; and water, but no fish?
