How do you feel about being distracted from the gray routine for a few minutes and stretching your brain a bit? Then choose any interesting logic question from this article and try to find the answer to it yourself. Just do not peep at the answers right away - this is not only dishonest, but also uninteresting!
Mental Workout for Toddlers
Many of these puzzles are well known since Soviet times, but still do not lose their relevance. The answers to them are so simple and obvious that it is almost impossible to guess right away. Are you ready? Then go ahead!
1. "Why do you want to go to bed when you want to sleep?" The whole "trick" of this question lies precisely in the wording. After all, if you say it out loud, the brain immediately perceives the first two words as one. Why? Well, how is that “why?” You can lie down on the bed, cover yourself with a blanket, close your eyes and ... And, by the way, the correct answer is “On the floor”.
2. "When can a person be in a room without a head?" Another logical question with an elementary answer. However, getting to the right decision for a child can be very difficult, because not every adult can immediately guess that this happens when we stick our heads out of the window.
3. “Can an ostrich call itself a bird?” You may be surprised, but no special knowledge from the field of zoology is necessary in order to correctly answer this question, because even the most educated and erudite ostrich cannot name itself in any way. If only because he does not know how to speak.
4. "In what words are one hundred consonants?" And here the child will undoubtedly think. It’s hard even to imagine such a word - as many as 100 consonants, and if you add vowels as well? What kind of lexical monster is this? But the correct answer, as always, lies on the surface - “StoL”, “StoN”, “Sto”, “StoG”, “StoP”.
5. “Before you is a bathtub filled with water. On the edge lies a mug and a spoon. What should be used to quickly remove all water from the bath? ” Think it's a mug? Because she is bigger? But a rational man, looking at your torment, silently come up and pull out the cork.
6. “Three little pigs walked through the forest. One walked in front of two, one behind all, and one between two. How did they go? " Honestly, even adult people often cannot answer such questions with logic. In fact, the pigs in this riddle just follow each other.
7. “The bull plowed the field all day. How many tracks did he end up leaving on arable land? ” In fact, the bull leaves no traces at all, because the plow that he pulls with him erases them.
8. “At 12 a.m. there is a torrential downpour. Could it be that after 72 hours there will be warm, sunny weather? ” No theory of probability will help you here, relax. But it helps to know how many hours are in a day - there can be no sunny weather. If only because in the indicated 72 hours it will be midnight again.
So, we examined some interesting questions on logic for children. Now let's move on to other, more complex and interesting tasks.
Other logic puzzles
We bring to your attention other interesting questions on logic, which can make you think not only kids, but also their parents.
Pun
- “On the seashore lay a stone, on the surface of which a word of 8 letters was scratched. When the rich read this word, they began to sob, the poor, on the contrary, rejoiced, and the couples in love parted. What was that word? ” We will not comment on the answer in any way, because everything will become clear by itself. And the word was - "Temporarily."
- “In which word are there immediately 3 letters“ l ”and 3 letters“ p ”? - "The parallelepiped."
For experts in mathematics
- "How much land is in a pit 3 meters in diameter and 5 meters deep?" Still trying to calculate and looking for the density of different soil types? Do not forget that this is a logic question. Already upon the fact of its existence, the pit is empty, otherwise it would not be a pit.
- “How many times can you subtract 6 from 30?” Yes, not to divide, but to take away! Only one, because next time you will take away 6 not from 30, but from 24.
Life
- “Two friends walked around the city and suddenly stopped, starting to argue. One began to claim that "this is red." Another objected to him and said that "this is black." The first one was not taken aback and asked: “Why, then, is it white?”, To which I heard: “Yes, because it’s green.” What were they talking about?" The correct answer to this riddle is currant.
- “Three centuries ago, this procedure was carried out at a distance of 50 meters. Now this distance has been reduced by 10 times, and all thanks to the invention of the Soviet scientist, which you probably have repeatedly seen. What is it?" Nothing comes to mind? In fact, we are talking about a table for checking vision, also known as the Sivtsev table.
The famous Soviet puzzle
American scientists who caught the eye of this picture and questions to it, considered that this is one of the most effective IQ tests in the history of mankind. Carefully review the image, and then try to give the correct answer to only 9 questions.
Questions
- How many tourists stayed at this camp?
- How long have they come here: today or a few days ago?
- Is the camp far from the nearest village?
- Where did the tourists get here?
- What time is it now?
- Where does the wind blow: from the south or from the north?
- Where did Shura go?
- What is the name of the one who was on duty yesterday?
- What date is it and what month?
Right answers
Racking your brains? Well, it's time to reveal the cards and demonstrate how elementary the answers are to even the most complex questions of logic:
- Four. To understand this, just look at the list of attendants (it has four lines), as well as the number of plates and spoons on the litter.
- Not today, because between the tree and the tent, the nimble spider managed to weave a cobweb.
- It is unlikely, because the guys were able to bring live chicken with them (or she ran into them by accident, which, however, does not change the essence).
- On the boat. Near the tree you can see a couple of oars, and since there weren’t a lot of cars in Soviet times, this is the most logical answer.
- Morning, because the shadow falls to the west, and therefore, the sun shines from the east.
- This question on logic really requires additional knowledge. For example, you need to remember that on the south side of a tree, branches are always longer than on the north. Next you need to look at the fire - it dodges a little towards the north, which means that the wind blows from the south.
- Shura went to catch butterflies - because of the bushes you can see the butterfly net falling on the winged beauty.
- As you can see, Shura went for the butterflies, and the boy sitting near the backpack with the letter "K" - Kolya. That is, two options are already disappearing. Another boy is engaged in photographing the surrounding nature. He also cannot be on duty. But what is his name? Looking closer, you can see that in the backpack with the letter "B" lies a tripod - an indispensable attribute of the photographer. We conclude that the name of the photographer begins with the same letter - which means that Vasya is photographing. By means of exclusion we find out that Petya is on duty today, and from here we conclude that Kolya was on duty yesterday.
- The answer to this question is closely related to the previous one. So, today on duty Petya. Near his name on the board is written the number 8 - the 8th number. As for the month, the situation in the picture itself indicates that it happens in August - only then watermelons appear in our latitudes. Of course, they are in September. But butterflies in the beginning of autumn can be quite difficult to find, and the first fallen leaves appear on the ground.
Interesting? But did you know that only 6% of people can correctly answer all 9 questions? If you succeeded, you can accept congratulations, because this means that your IQ is from 130 or more.
