A man shared five brainteasers that he claims 'everyone should be able to solve' – but many viewers were left completely stumped by the trick questions and riddles.
Brainteasers to boost your mind
Keeping your mind sharp throughout the day is crucial for boosting critical-thinking skills and improving your brain age. A good way to do this is by attempting brainteasers which can give your mind a workout. They strengthen connections between brain cells, improve memory and even lower stress and sharpen your problem-solving skills.
Now to exercise your brain, Mahan, who goes by @mahanlankarani on TikTok, has put together five quick-fire brainteasers that 'everyone should be able to solve'.
The five puzzles revealed
In his clip, which racked up more than 776,000 likes, he asked: "How many pairs of animals did Moses take on the ark?" After a brief pause, he revealed the answer was zero – because it was Noah who had the ark, not Moses.
For the second puzzle, he said: "You're in a race and you pass the person in third place – so what place are you in now?" Before moving on, he confirmed the correct answer was third.
He continued: "John's father had three sons, Snap, Crackle and ...?" Most people instinctively jump to Pop as their answer – but that's wrong, and all you need to do is look more closely at the question to understand why. He confirmed the right answer was John.
For the fourth puzzle, he asked: "If a plane crashes right in between France and Spain, where do you bury the survivors?" He explained this is yet another trick question, given that you don't bury survivors.
Finally, he asked: "If it takes seven people, seven minutes to eat seven burgers, how long will it take 30 people to eat 30 burgers?" In the comments, many viewers admitted to being "really confused" by this one, while the answer he revealed was seven minutes.
Viewers react
One user said: "My math isn't mathing in the fifth." Another user added: "I'm still really confused about the last one." A third user said: "Why was I so confident yelling out Pop."
Previously, only 2% of people can spot all four hidden women in this tricky optical illusion. The sketch was created by Ukrainian artist Oleg Shupliak and features a woman with long, flowing hair – but you'll need to track down the other figures hidden within. On another occasion, an optical illusion sparked a furious debate over the numbers hidden inside. This mesmerising image features a circle filled with swirling black patterns, but what's really set tongues wagging is the mystery of what's actually contained within that circle.
