First things first, remember with brain teasers, you will often find the answer in the question itself. Brain teasers are about uncomplicating a complicated and roundabout way of saying something straightforward. As you read through the answers (if you already didn't get it), I do point out the obviousness of each statement.

Here are the answers to the brain teasers!

The minimum passing score was 70 points. Everyone passed!

1. Your parents have 4 daughters including you and each daughter has one brother. How many people are in the family? Ans: 7 – 2 parents, 4 daughters, and 1 son (Your parents have 4 daughters. So that's 2 parents + 4 daughters including yourself. And if each daughter has 1 brother, then technically all 4 daughters could have the same brother. Hence 7 people.)

2. Paul’s height is 6 feet, he’s an assistant at a butcher’s shop, he owns a bike, and wears size 9 shoes. What does he weigh? Ans: meat (He’s an assistant at a butcher’s shop so what would he weigh?)

3. A man is looking at a photograph of someone. His friend asks who it is. The man replies, “That man’s first cousin is my father’s brother’s son.” Who was in the photograph? Ans: the man himself (Think about it like this. Who is father's brother's son's first cousin?)

4. A man stands on one side of a river, while his dog is on the other side. There is no bridge or boat in sight. The man calls for his dog, who immediately crosses the river without getting wet. How did the dog do it? Ans: the river was frozen (The dog crossed the river and didn't get wet. Either there was no water or the water was frozen. But given no details about the river being empty, frozen is the right answer.)

5. Turn me on my side and I am everything. Cut me in half and I am nothing. What am I? Ans: the number 8 (When you turn the #8 on its side, it becomes infinity as in everything. When you cut it in half, it becomes 0 as in nothing.)

6. A man is visiting a city for the first time. He walks into a random restaurant and the waiter immediately greets him with “Good afternoon General.” Why did the waiter greet him like that? Ans: the man was wearing his uniform (If no one knows him in the city and he just walked into a random restaurant, something on his person must have made it obvious that he was a General. Hence the uniform.)

7. What 5-letter word becomes shorter when you add 2 letters to it? Ans: the word “short” (Word play really.)

8. No matter how little or how much you use me, you change me every month. What am I? Ans: a calendar (Yep because you tear off the old month and replace it with a new month.)

9. You’re escaping a maze and there are 3 doors in front of you. The door on the left leads to an active volcano, the door in the center leads to a room filled with poisonous snakes, and the door on the right leads to a lion that hasn’t eaten in 3 months. Which door do you choose? Ans: the door on the right because a lion that hasn’t eaten in 3 months would be dead (Like seriously. The lion won't eat you. It's dead.)

10. When young, I am sweet in the sun. When middle-aged, I make you gay. When old, I am valued more than ever. What am I? Ans: wine (In this case the gay refers to happy.)

Don't do that. It's a good round. And actually very Googleable. Hint - take the important points from each question, not the full question. 😉

Yep Google will be able to help. You'll need to take some important points from each question, but it'll work.
