Three blondes are celebrating their success in a pub. The bartender asks them: “Girls, what’s the reason for the celebration?”One of the blondes responds: “Well, we just finished this puzzle and it took us only a month, while the box indicated: 3 to 6 years!”…

Enjoy your meal

You take a bite from your apple and find a worm in the apple.
The Question

Taking a bite from your apple and finding only half a worm in the apple!

Black Dots Look at the image below.

The Question: How many black dots can you find in the image? Note that the image is static (i.e. it is not changing); we are not fooling you! You probably noticed some black dots appearing – at the location where gray bars cross – when your eyes scanned the image. However, no dots did actually appear or disappear, it is just an optical illusion! When you focus on such a crossing you will see that there is no black dot at that location at all. So: there are no black dots in the image!…

The Bridge ***Four men want to cross a bridge. They all begin on the same side. It is night, and they have only one flashlight with them. At most two men can cross the bridge at a time, and any party who crosses, either one or two people, must have the flashlight with them.
The flashlight must be walked back and forth: it cannot be thrown, etc. Each man walks at a different speed. A pair must walk together at the speed of the slower man. Man 1 needs 1 minute to cross the bridge, man 2 needs 2 minutes, man 3 needs 5 minutes, and man 4 needs 10 minutes. For example, if man 1 and man 3 walk across together, they need 5 minutes.

First man 1 and man 2 walk across the bridge. This takes 2 minutes.
After this, man 1 walks back with the flashlight. This takes 1 minute.
Then man 3 and man 4 walk across the bridge. This takes 10 minutes.
After this, man 2 walks back with the flashlight. This takes 2 minutes.
Then man 1 and man 2 walk across the bridge. This takes 2 minutes as before.
In total: 2+1+10+2+2=17 minutes.
