Brainteasers stories
1 The Two Presidents
The 22nd and 24th presidents of the United States had the same mother and the same father, but were not brothers. How could this be so?
(They were the same man. Grover Cleve-land(1837~1908) 格罗弗.克利夫兰 served two terms as president of the United States, but the terms were not consecutive. He was president from 1885 to 1889 and from 1893 to 1897.)
2.What’s Wrong with the Radio?
A young girl was listening to the radio. Suddenly it went off for a minute and then came back on again. There was nothing wrong with the radio or with the program transmission from the radio station转播台. She did not touch the radio controls按钮. Why did it go off and on?
(The girl was listening to the radio in her father’s car. The car drove through a tunnel and reception was temporarily interrupted.)
3.The Man in the Bar
A man walked into a bar and asked the barman for a glass of water. They had never met before. The barman pulled a gun from under the counter and pointed it at the man. The man said “Thank you” and walked out. Why should that be so?
(The man had hiccups打嗝. The barman recognized this from his speech and drew the gun to give the man a shock. It worked and cured the hiccups, so the man was grateful (and no longer needed the water.)
4.The Last Message 遗言
A man was found shot dead in his study. He was slumped over his desk and a gun was in his hand. There was a cassette recorder on his desk. When the police entered the room and pressed the play button on the tape recorder they heard, “I can’t go on. I have nothing to live for毫无牵挂.”Then there was the sound of a gunshot. How did the detective immediately know that the man had been murdered?
(The cassette had started at the beginning of the man’s utterance. Who could have rewound it?)
5.Playing Tennis
Two men were playing tennis. They played five sets and each man won three sets. How did they do this?
(The two men were partners playing doubles.)
