    Default Lets play some brainbusters!

    Hey everyone thought you might want to have a little fun. Here's the rules! You can ask me closed-ended questions referring to the teaser to get information out of me! My answer has to be a yes, no or its irrelevant! So for example you may ask a question like this!

    Example 1: Is this person a male or female!Thats acceptable!
    I would repond with an answer yes, no or its irrelevant!
    Example 2:
    Whats the persons gender? Not acceptable! I would then ask you to rephrase the question!
    Example 3: Whats the color of the persons mothers wedding dress? I would then respond by saying its irrelevant if it is!

    This one might be a little hard for some of you! Let's Go!!!


    A man lives in a 23 story building. Everyday he leaves the building and comes back, he rides in the elevator to the 23rd floor only when someone's in the elevator with him or when it's raining. When its just him or when its not raining, he gets off at the 18th floor and walks the rest of the way. Why?

    *tries to give a drunken reply* Because....after the 18th floor there is an outside set of stairs that he likes to take because he doesn't like to be in the elevator alone unless he has too such as it is raining....?

    I only say that because my room mate refuses to ride the elevator alone unless she has too.

    Der....I donno.

    P.S. I just noticed the "not acceptable" smiley and like died laughing.

    Oh gosh.. I'm trying to remember what the buttons in an elevator in a high-rise looks like..

    Umm, I'm going to say the buttons for floors are oriented lower to higher.. so my question is:

    Is it because this is a dwarf or little person? ...who if they stand on their li'l tippy toes can only reach the 18th floor button, so he walks the rest of the way? unless there's someone riding with him to punch the 23 button for him.. or unless its raining and carrying an umbrella, which would allow him to punch that 23 button himself?

    (only flaw in my logic is if that umbrella bit is true, then why not just carry the damned umbrella all the time, rain or shine, since it'd come in handy for a li'l fella)

    I wanna play damnit lol j/k

    Where is the OP? My mind is bubbling over with possible answers...... My brain is going to explode any minute now...

    Aw well, I'll just keep the window open, in the meantime I'm running down my cat and shouting possible solutions to him

    My answer is the guy is too short to reach the buttons, so he uses his umbrella to press the floor on the days it's raining. That was easy, give us another one please

    Just to give a heads up this next brainteaser was an actual murder case! Its kind of brutal so beware! It may be challenging to some but its actually one of my easier brainteasers! If anyone needs to go over the rules please scroll all the way up to the rules!


    A woman was found dead with a bullet in her head lying face down on a small round table surrounded by 53 bicycles. What happened?
    I'll just say this to begin with! Her body was intact and the bicycles were on the table surrounding her! Solve away!

    If she had been playing pinochle at this table, might she have ended up surrounded by 49 bicycles instead of 53?

    A man was found dead hanging by a rope 5 feet off of the ground in the middle of an empty room. Directly under him was a puddle of water. There were no windows and only one door that no one could come in or out of. What happened?

    ^^^^ Yeah, I would say he hung himself and at the time of death he voided as most people do.

    Wtf is going on here! This cannot be happening ok I didn't want to pull this out yet but you leave me no choice. Heres a challenging one.

    ok this is probably too hard but itll be interesting to see should anyone get it, its called einsteins riddle:::::::

    Einstein's riddle

    There are 5 houses in 5 different colors. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, or drink the same beverage.

    The question is: Who owns the fish?

    Hints:


    The Brit lives in the red house.
    The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
    The Dane drinks tea.
    The green house is on the left of the white house.
    The green homeowner drinks coffee.
    The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
    The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
    The man living in the center house drinks milk.
    The Norwegian lives in the first house.
    The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.
    The man who keeps the horse lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
    The owner who smokes Bluemaster drinks beer.
    The German smokes prince.
    The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
    The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water.

    Einstein wrote this riddle early during the 19th century. He said 98% of the world could not solve it. Just pay attention and be patient.

    so good luck all!!!!
