Today's Brain Teaser - 04/13/2008 (120)

[The_Twisted_Ear (Premo)]

Must answer both questions correctly to win!

1. On one side of a river, there is an elephant. On the other side, there is a peanut tree. The elephant really wants the peanuts, but he is too heavy for a boat, can't swim, there is no bridge, his trunk isn't long enough to reach, the river is too wide to jump across, too deep to walk across and the ends are miles away. How does the elephant get to the peanut tree?

2. Leong and Tobias were comparing information about their siblings. At one point Tobias said, "My older brother was born on the Fourth of July. I remember the day because I was watching the fireworks." Leong immediately knew it was a lie. How did he know?

1. Any imaginary process would suffice to reach a peanut tree since they don't exist.
2. If he's older, he can't remember his birth

Correct!

There is no such thing as a peanut tree!

If Tobias' brother is older, Tobias couldn't have been there to remember.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's!
