Monkey Teasers are eggtastic!!!

Can we all at kitchenmonkey.co.uk start by wishing you all a great EASTER Bank Holiday whatever you are doing, we hope you have fun!

How about some brain teasers to keep you going throughout the weather which we are expecting this Easter. It’s a fact that women and men are wired differently shall I say, and that each of us can do certain things better, because of this. For instance men are supposed to be the better map readers; women can multi task and its all down to our wiring. Apparently a woman’s left and right side of her brain is wired together abit like broadband which is why we can multi task.

Do you remember not long ago when we were all sending and buying special 3D pictures, which would be a picture of something, but if you looked into it there was a further image within it. I had friends who could do this instantly and I would stare at them forever almost giving myself a headache before I could see them. This is all because we are all individual and favour one side of the brain to the other. For instance some of us are good at creative work and others are good with numbers.

Well I’ve put together a little teaser to tantalise you and keep you mind muscle working. Give it a go, there are alot of great brainteasers out there and illusion pictures which are great fun for everyone to have a go at. Have fun, but don’t cheat have a go first!

1. Some months have 30 days; some have 31; how many months have 28 days?
2. If you had only one match and entered a room in which there was a kerosene lamp, an oil heater, a candle and a wood burning stove, which would you, light first?

3. There is a house with four walls. Each wall faces south. There is a window in each wall. A bear walks by one of the windows. What color is the bear?

4. Is half of two plus two equal to two or three?

5. How many animals of each species did Moses take aboard the Ark with him?

6. How far can a dog run into the woods?

7. Is it legal for a man to marry his widow's sister?
8. If a farmer has 5 haystacks in one field and 4 haystacks in the other field, how many haystacks would he have if he combined them all in the center field?

9. What is it that goes up and goes down but does not move?

10. A farmer has 17 sheep. All but 9 died. How many did he have left?

11. Divide 30 by 1/2 and add ten. What is the answer?


Have you written them all down carry on down for the answers



ANSWERS:



1. All 12 have 28 days

2. Light the match first.

3. White. If all the walls face south, the house is at the North pole, and the bear, therefore, is a polar bear.

4. Three. Well, it seems that it could almost be either, but if you follow the mathematical orders of operation, division is performed before addition. So... half of two is one. Then add two, and the answer is three.
5. I thought Noah brought 2 of each animal, not Moses

6. Halfway, then he would be running out of the woods.
7. No. You can't marry someone if you're dead!

8. One. If he combines all of his haystacks, they all become one big stack.

9. The temperature.

10. 9 sheep

11. 70






I hope you enjoyed that?

One thing someone said to me recently is that if you have children how would they spell love (the answer is and if you are a parent it is simple ‘TIME’)

So spend some quality time this Easter, Paint those boiled eggs ready for breakfast and enjoy this special TIME!.
