I've been trying to find more Brain Teasers to crack because, well, I'm bored. I was wondering if you guys would post some down here? We can all try and crack them together ;) and if you have any funny jokes, go ahead, add them in! I've tried Google. All I see is repeated ones and virus sites. and remember, the more the merrier! (?) Edit: I'll start. There is a truth teller (always tells the truth), a liar (always lies), and one that sometimes answers truthfully and sometimes lies. Each man knows who is who. You may ask three yes or no question to determine who is who. Each time you ask a question, it must only be directed to one of the men (of your choice). You may ask the same question more than once, but of course it will count towards your total. What are your questions and to whom will you ask them?

A genie gives a boy 1 magical wish. The genie says "I shall grant any wish of yours and shall make it come true". The boy said "I wish that you did not grant this wish". What did the genie do?

PiN0ySiN : Three guys went to a hotel manager for a room. The manager said a room would be $30. They all paid $10. The bellman took their luggage up to their room, but when he came back down the manager told him that he charged $5 extra for the room and to bring the $5 back. The bellman was mad though because the guys didn't tip him so he took $2 and gave the men $3 back. So each man ended up paying $9 for the room. 3 people x $9 = $27 but $27+$2 = $29 lol there is no missing dollar look at is like this okay they pay $10 each the front desk now has $30 the front desk gives $5 back to them and the bellboy steals $2 from that the front desk now has $25 the men have $3 and the bellboy has $2 there is no missing dollar fml :P

@jerryjerry I find that kinda weird, sounds like a question without answer... How can he not have rabbits when he leaves the fifth house? Even if you had 1 in each of the houses?

If a man puts a nickle in a bag full of nickles and the bag has 6 nickles already how did the chicken cross the road?

jerryjerry : A magician deposits the same number of rabbits (at least one) at each of five houses. To get to the first house he crosses a magic river once, and to get to any house from another, he also crosses a magic river once. Each time he crosses a magic river, the number of rabbits he has doubles. He has no rabbits left when he leaves the fifth house. What is the minimun number of rabbits he could have at the start? this was one of the questions in a maths competition Working backwards, assuming the minimum number of rabbits that he can put in the last house, which is 2 since must be an even number, 5th house: 2 rabbits Before River:1 rabbit 4th house:3 rabbits Before River:1.5 rabbits 3rd house:3.5 rabbits Before River:1.75 rabbits 2nd house:3.75 rabbits Before River: 1.875 rabbits 1st house: 3.875 rabbits Before River: 1.9375 rabbits To make 1.9375 a whole number, we multiply it by 16 times. Therefore, he has 31 rabbits at the start, and deposits 2X16 =32 rabbits each time. Am i right?
