Riddles, Math & Puzzles, Oh My!
Welcome to Dispatch Education!! We are Lisa and Bethany. Today we want to puzzle your brains. We have four puzzles for you today. We will tell you the puzzle. Pause the video. Figure it out and come back.
First puzzle, Draw a clock face with the numbers 1 to 12 in their usual positions. Can you draw a line so that the numbers on one side of it add up to the same as the numbers on the other side? Go, we will wait.
Did you draw a line to put 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3 on one side?
Next, which are the only three whole numbers that when added together and multiplied together give the same answer? Go get your calculator…
The answer is 1,2,3. If you add 1 + 2 + 3 you get 6, if you multiply 1 times 2 times 3, you get 6.
If you have five cows, twelve hens and a goat. How many legs do you have? Doo, do, do, do, do, do, do…(jeopardy theme song)
Answer: 2 (unless you are an amputee or mutant you have 2 legs.)
Riddles!! I have one, A man pushes his car to a hotel and tells the owner, he is bankrupt. Why? Do you know? PAUSE…… He’s playing Monopoly.
That was fun. We hope you enjoyed a little mental stimulation today. See you next time!!
