Riddles of who is better. Challenging riddles

The most difficult riddle is different for each person. The one he struggled with for many hours or even days. But in the end I figured it out and found the answer on my own. He will definitely never forget the solution.

But still, among those ever invented, there are those that can confidently be classified as the most intricate. We will talk about them.

First group of riddles: for children

Don't think that any adult can handle them easily. Even not the most difficult riddle in the world can seriously puzzle you. Moreover, there will be a big embarrassment if a child can cope with it, but an adult will find it too tough.

Life gives this as a gift twice. You have to pay for the third set. (Teeth.)
A birch tree grew in the garden. There were 45 apples hanging on it. The wind blew and 9 of them fell. How many apples are left on it? (Not at all, because apples don’t grow on birch trees.) Note. Although if you come across a person with creative thinking, he can say that nowhere is it said that apples actually grew on the tree. They just hung there. And it is unknown how they were secured, that’s why they fell.

The list of tasks that can be described as “the most difficult riddle” continues.

During the race, the athlete overtook the one who was in second position. Where did he end up? (On the second, because he didn’t catch up with the first.)
The same athlete in another competition overtook the one who was last. What place did he get? (It is impossible to overtake the last one; if someone was ahead of him, then he was not the last.)
This thing is thrown away if it is needed. And when it turns out to be unnecessary, they raise it. What is this? (Sea anchor.)

The second group of riddles: for those who like to count

These tasks will require some math and some reasoning. And then any of the most difficult riddles in the world can be solved.

A specialist is invited to a well-known company for the position of financial analyst. He is offered a starting salary of 10 thousand per month. It can be increased according to two schemes. The first promises an increase of 15 thousand per year. The second guarantees an increase of 5 thousand in six months. Which option will be more profitable? (Second.) Note. You will need to calculate your salary for an arbitrary number of years. Even the first two will be enough. In both cases, the annual salary is the same - 120 thousand. Increase plan for the first scenario: 120 thousand, 135 thousand and so on. The second scenario will give the following breakdown: 60 for the first six months and 65 for the second part of the year, resulting in 125 thousand for the 1st year. Second year: 70 and 75, which will give 145 thousand per year.
There is a heavy anchor at the bottom of the boat. She floats on the surface of the water in the pool. What will happen to the water level if the untied anchor is thrown out of the boat? (Will go down.) Note. While the anchor lies in the boat, the part of it immersed in water is much larger than the volume of the anchor itself.

How to collect 4 liters of water if only containers of 5 and 3 are available? (Fill 5, pour into 3, empty the second, pour the remaining 2 from the first into it, fill with 5 again, pour 1 liter from it into the three-liter.)

The third group of riddles: to reason

A creative approach is impossible without thinking carefully and moving away from the standards into which society has driven people. Therefore the most difficult riddles logic questions turn out to be simple after the answer is found.

In a large room there is a partition behind which there are three light bulbs. Moreover, they are not visible from the remote control with three switches. It is required to determine which one is from each light bulb. You can only enter the partition once. The solution requires two steps. The first is to turn on one light bulb and turn it off after a few minutes. During this time it will have time to warm up. The second action is to turn on the second light bulb. Now you can take a look. The one that is hot is the first. The other one glows - the second one. And the third is the one that was not touched at all.
One hotel has seven floors. The first one accommodated 4 guests. On each subsequent floor their number increases by 3. On which floor is the elevator button pressed most often? (On the first one.)
One person only has one match left in the box. He enters the room he is in kerosene lamp There is a gas stove on the fireplace. What will a person light first? (Match.)

And this is perhaps the most difficult logic riddle.

You need to bake 6 pies. They need to be fried on each side for 5 minutes. Only 4 pies can be placed on the frying pan at a time. How can you fry them in 15 minutes?

The solution consists of the following moves:

put 4 pies for 5 minutes;
Turn 2 over, remove the others, put two more not yet fried for another 5 minutes;
2 remove (they are already ready), 2 turn over and put those that were previously removed for the remaining 5 minutes.

The fourth group of riddles: ingenuity

They require intelligence. A savvy person will easily solve all the most complex logical riddles.

The girl took the ring out of the coffee cup. Why didn't the ring get wet? (Coffee powder, granules or beans.)

While the ship was at the pier, the tide began, and the water rose by 40 cm every hour. How many steps will be under water 3 hours after the tide starts? (Still 4, the steamer will rise with the water.)

Fifth group of riddles: with a catch

Logic and the ability to count well will not always help in solving such problems. These most difficult riddles have a catch. That is, those in which you need to look for something unusual.

There are three tractor drivers working on the collective farm, who have a brother, Sergei. But he has no brothers. How can this be? (They are sisters.)

And a few more mysteries

There were so many apples on the plate that there were enough for all the children. How did it happen that all the guys took one, but there was only one left on the plate? (The latter took it along with the plate.)

And here is the most difficult riddle, which has two solutions.

The patient needs to leave for 30 days. The doctor gives him two medications, 30 tablets each. They cannot be distinguished by color, taste, smell, shape or size. The course of treatment cannot be interrupted. Every day you need to take one tablet of each drug. One day a person took 1 tablet out of the first package, and 2 fell out of the second. They got mixed up. How can a patient follow the doctor’s recommendations?

1. Take another tablet from the first one. Cut everything in half and put all the left halves in one direction, and the right halves in the other. It will turn out that there will be one of each type in each pile.

2. Again, take another tablet. Grind everything into powder and divide into two equal parts.

8. What number will be next in this series: 1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221, 312211, ...

Answer 8:

13112221

· Each sequence of numbers is a verbal representation of the sequence that comes before it. So, for example, starting from one, the next sequence will be “one 1” or “11”. It will be followed by the sequence “two 1s” or “21” and so on.

· The first digit is 1 (quantity) "1" (digit from 0 to 9). So if you say "One 1", the next number will be "11". Now it turns out to be "two 1" or "21". After that "one 2 and one 1", which gives us 1211. Then "one 1, one 2 and two 1", which gives us 111221 and so on.

During the last census, the man said he had three children. When asked about their ages, he replied that the product of their ages was the number 72.

The sum of their ages is the same as the house number. The census taker looks at front door to find out the house number and says that he still doesn’t know.

The man replies: “I forgot to say that the eldest son likes chocolate pudding.” After this, scribe records the ages of three children. How old are the children?

Answer 10:

three children are 3, 3 and 8 years old.

When the man looked at the house number, he knew the sum of the children's ages. However, he could not say the age of the children. So he had several options. Only two options for a set of numbers when multiplied give 72: (2,6,6) and (3,3,8).

After the man said that his eldest son liked chocolate pudding, the man was able to make a choice. Since it is in the second option that one can name the eldest son.
