50 Riddles & Brain Teasers for Kids & Adults To boost Their Intelligence Quotient.
Riddles or
Brain teasers are logical questions prepared for you to stress your brain
before getting the right answer. Almost all riddles have simple answers which
are usually wrong because the questions do not want you to think straight
meanwhile the right answers are not too difficult to figure out once you study
the question carefully and gives it a deep thought before supplying the answer
Example: How
many months have 28 days

would think the answer to this riddle is “One” which is February. Meanwhile, it
is not since all the twelve months have 28 days, some just have more. Had it
been the question says “how many months have just 28 day?” the answer will be “one” which obviously is February.
