The wife’s riddle
Test your keen eye for detail with this interesting puzzle. The story begins with the wife sending her husband a photo shortly after the wedding. She is shown sitting on a sofa with sunlight streaming through a window behind her as she looks into the camera. On the surface, everything seems fine.
However, her husband immediately realizes that something is wrong. Can you figure out what it is?
Tip: Pay close attention to the details of the image.
Answer: The wife does not wear a wedding ring. This small but crucial detail alerted the husband and led him to suspect infidelity.
This story is of course completely fictional and created purely for the sake of the puzzle. Still, it’s an interesting test of your observation skills! Did you notice that detail right away?
what I am
Here’s a classic word puzzle for you:
“I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I havenobodyy but am animated by the wind. What am I?”
Answer: Echo.
An echo is a sound that “hears” and repeats another sound, even though it has no physical form. The wind carries the sound waves further, making the echoes louder and more distinct.
Five sisters
Try this one:
There are five nurses in the room. Ann is reading a book, Kate is playing chess, Margaret is cooking and Marie is doing the laundry. What does the fifth sister do?
Answer: He is playing chess with Kate!
Chess is usually a two-player game, so the fifth sister must be Kate’s opponent.
Math time
After a few word puzzles, we’ll test your math skills. It may seem simple at first, but it’s more complicated than it seems:
“Divide 30 in half and add 10. What is the answer?”
Answer: 70.
Here’s why: Dividing in half means multiplying by two. So 30 ÷ 0.5 = 60. Add 10 to that and you get 70.
Find the error
Finally, let’s see how good your observation skills are with this puzzle:
Look closely at the picture of a clean, normal bathroom. Can you find out what’s wrong?
Answer: The sink does not have a pipe under it!
This small but significant detail is often overlooked by many people on the first try.
