10 Riddles which will Blow Your Mind

10 Riddles which will Blow Your Mind

if you consider yourself to be a great

outside the box thinker then this video

will put you to the test these brain

teasers have solutions that are not

immediately obvious but will require

creativity and indirect reasoning to

find the answers get ready to test your

brainpower and also to pause the video

before we give you the solution a man

comes to a bridge guarded by a warrior

the warrior says that to cross the

bridge the men must make a statement but

if the warrior thinks the statement is

true he will cut the man's heart out

however if he thinks it's false he'll

chop off the man's head the man is able

to pass leaving the warrior stumped what

statement did he make answer you will

chop off my head if you had a hard time

coming up with this one we're guessing

it might be pretty obvious now the

warrior will only chop off the man's

head if he thinks a false statement has

been made so the man's statement puts

the warrior in an unbreakable logical

loop if a man's statement is true the

warrior must cut out the man's heart

which would make the statement false but

if the statement is false the warrior

must cut off the man's head which would

make the statement true there is no

action the warrior can take which makes

good on his original threat so he must

let the man pass what starts and ends

with the letter E but contains only one

letter answer an envelope this riddle

stumps many because we tend to think

only of the word that starts with the

letter e not the object it represents

and of course there is more than one

type of letter the word envelope indeed

starts and ends with the letter e in an

actual envelope contains one letter the

kind that you write and mail away it

turns into a different story what is it

answer a spiral staircase this riddle is

also a tough one to crack because we

tend to assign specific meaning to the

words turn and story when the statement

is phrased this way but we're not

looking for something that becomes a

different story of the type you read in

a book a spiral staircase literally

turns into a different story of the

house it's built into only extremely

nimble outside the box thinkers got this

one right away

how far can the dog run into the woods

answer only halfway here's another

question that doesn't seem like it

should have a specific answer but it

does the woods must refer to a forest

and forests are only so large therefore

a dog can only run halfway into the

woods after that he's running out of the

woods there was a plane crash in which

every single person on board died yet

many passengers who were on the plane at

the time of the crash survived how is it

possible answer because they were

passengers aboard who were not single

the phrase that trips many people up on

this stumper is every single person

which our brains will tend to

automatically assume means everyone but

in this case we're going by the other

definition of single not married so

despite the fact that every single

person died this extremely unusual plane

crash did indeed have survivors all the

married people a man lives on the 10th

floor of a building every day he takes

the elevator to the ground floor and

goes to work when he comes home he goes

through the 7th floor and takes the

stairs the rest of the way if there are

other people in the elevator or it is

raining he goes directly to his floor he

hates walking why does he do it answer

because he can't reach the button for

floor 10 this classic riddle takes

strong deductive reasoning to solve we

must look at what we know is true and

use the evidence to find the logical

conclusion our best Clues here are the

conditions that allow the man to ride

all the way up to his floor we know that

he can reach the button for the lobby

with no problem if there are other

passengers in the elevator the man can

have one of them presses button for him

if it's raining he'll be carrying his

umbrella which he can use to push the

button himself on all other days however

our vertically challenged man can only

reach as high as the button for floor 7

and must take the stairs for the

remaining three floors three frogs sit

on a bank one of them decides to jump in

the water how many are left

answer all three pay attention to the

clever wording of the riddle just

because one of the frogs decided to jump

doesn't mean that he actually jumped

maybe he'll jump in an hour or tomorrow

or next week if you got this one right

then you know that the questions that

are not asked can be more important than

the ones that are there is a room with

three light switches outside inside is a

light bulb you can turn any switch on or

off but may only enter the room once how

do you find out which switch controls

the light bulb although this riddle

seems very difficult at first it simply

requires that we give a little bit of

thought to how light bulbs actually

behave a bulb remains warm for several

minutes after it's been turned off so

the actions we must take to find the

right switch are simple first turn on

the first switch for five minutes then

turn it off turn on the second switch

and enter the room if the bulb is off

but warm to the touch the first switch

controls the bulb if the light is on the

second switch controls the bulb and if

it's off but cold to the touch

it's the third switch a man is stranded

with no tools of any kind on an island

the island is completely covered in

thick forests with steep cliffs on all

sides one day with the wind blowing from

the West a fire starts on the west side

of the island it will quickly consume

everything in its path how does the man

survive answer this is another riddle

that requires us to look at the

conditions we've been given then think

about how a fire would behave under

these circumstances in order to survive

the man must use a burning piece of wood

from the fire to set another fire a safe

distance away from the first one close

to the east side of the island the wind

will push this smaller fire east quickly

burning out the east end of the island

and providing a safe shelter for the man

as the main fire approaches there are

two doors one leads to heaven and one to

hell each is guarded by a man one will

always lie and the other will always

tell the truth but you don't know which

is which you may ask only one of them

one question what is it answer different

versions of this classic brainteaser

have stumped people for decades but the

answer is actually quite simple the

question you must ask is which door

would the other guard tell me is

the door to heaven then choose the

opposite one here's the reasoning if the

guard you're asking is the one who

always tells the truth he will tell you

correctly that the other guard would

point you toward the door to hell

however if you're asking the guard who

always lies he will tell you incorrectly

that the other guard would also send you

on the wrong path so whichever guard you

ask the opposite door from the one they

suggest will always be the safe one
