Puzzles

Hey lets see some puzzles Today!

BULBS

puzzle: This is one of my favorite free printable logic puzzles with a real life solution. There are three switches downstairs. Each corresponding to one of the three light bulbs in the attic. You can turn the switches on and off and leave them in any position. How would you identify which switch corresponds to which bulb, if you are only allowed one trip upstairs?

Answer: Keep the first bulb switched on for a few minutes. It gets warm, right? So all you have to do then is, switch it off, switch another one on, walk into the room where bulb is situated, touch them and tell which one was switched on as the first one (the warm one) and the others can be easily identified.


THE BALL

puzzle: 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.


Answer: Throw the ball straight up in the air.


POURING WATER


puzzle: If you had a 5-litre bowl and a 3-litre bowl and an unlimited access to water, how would you measure exactly 4 litres?

Answer: Fill  the 5-litre bowl and pour water to the 3-litre bowl, which you empty afterwards. From the 5-litre bowl pour the 2 remaining litres to the 3-litre bowl. Refill the 5-litre bowl and fill in the 3-litre bowl (with 1 litre), so there stay the 4 required litres in the 5-litre bowl.


WHAT IS IT?

puzzle: You go into the woods to get it. Then you sit down to find it. Then you go home because you couldn't find it.

Answer: Splinter.
