I dare you to solve the following or accept that there are few unsolvable things of life. You may have come across few of these at some point or the other or you may have heard of some before.
- Everything has an expiry date. Let us take the example of a bottle of poison. Now, if poison expires, is it more poisonous or is it no longer poisonous?
- English language is a funny language. Unless I explain you with an example, you may not understand. Which letter is silent in the word ‘Scent’ – the ‘S” or the ‘C’?.
- We often talk great of twins. The real fact is this: Do the twins ever realize that one of them is unplanned?
- As informed above, English language is a funny language. Unless I explain you with yet another example, you may not understand. Why the letter ‘W’ in English, called double U? Should it not be called double ‘V’?
- The greatest discovery of the medical science is this: It is, indubitably, the oxygen that is slowly killing us all. It takes in many instances 75 -100 years to fully work.
- Every time you clean something, you just make something else dirty. For instance, if you get out the shower clean, how does you towel get dirty?
- There is one English word – ‘swims. You read it upside down; it still will remain ‘swims.
- Look at the irony of our lives! 100 years ago, everyone owned a horse and only the rich had cars. Today, everyone has cars and only the rich own horses!
- If you want to find the answer to the words ‘What, Where and When’ all you need to do is to replace the W’ with ‘T’ – you will get answer to each of these words!
- This is an enigma! An unanswerable question: In a movie theatre, which arm rest is yours?
- If Darwin’s theory of evolution is correct and if people are evolved from Monkeys, why the monkeys are still around?
