Trick Questions and Answers
Trick questions and answers have always been an integral part of fun and excitement. No matter how tricky and hard the questions are, people try their best to get to the apt answer. Some people who are able to 'grill' their heads and give out the right answers feel themselves to be like great 'Einsteins'! For those who 'beat around all bushes' but still do not make it, have their usual statements ready as, 'Oh! I thought it was the other way round. You should have put the question clearly mate!' or 'Come on now, your question was confusing!'

Playing with all different kinds of trick questions and answers require some smart and creative thinking and it's great fun. Trust me! So without making any further delay, let's get down to our funny trick questions and answers. For kids, here are some funny riddles to enjoy.

Before I begin the list, let me give the answers to the first two riddles which were asked at the very beginning. The first was, 'What walks on four in spring, two in summer and three in winter?' Here's the answer. Spring denotes the early childhood of a man. During that time, he is a baby and crawls - meaning he walks on four legs! Adulthood is analogous to summer and so the baby becomes a man and walks on two. Finally, winter falls when the man starts becoming old and as you know, most elderly people need the aid of a stick to walk and hence they walk on 'three' legs!

Coming to the second question as to what is it which is yours and you do not use, but others always do?...The answer is your 'name'! Amazed? If not, then you will be, after you come to know about some more tricky questions which follow. Read the questions carefully and try to get the answer and check if you have hit the bull's eye!

  4. There is a river. On one side (say side A) a man is standing with a tiger, a goat and a bunch of grass. The man has to transport each of them to the other side (say side B) of the river on a boat. Now the boat can carry one item at a time along with the man. How will he do it? Remember that the tiger can kill the goat if not attended by the man and the goat can eat the grass, when left alone...

  7. This one is also my favorite among all tricky questions and answers. Imagine yourself driving on a highway on a windy day. Suddenly you notice some people standing by the side of the road, and you slow down. You learn that the people include your best friend, an ailing old lady and your dream girl. Now, the ailing lady is dying and requires immediate medical help. In another case you are getting only one chance to spend a day with your dream girl, and of course you can't leave your best friend. So what would you do in order to help the lady to reach the hospital? Remember, that your car can carry 'ONLY TWO' people (the driver and one passenger).

  14. This one seems hard, but it's simple! There is a casino and it has 4 gates (let's name them as gate A, B, C and D). Every time you come inside the casino, you have to pay $5 and every time you leave the casino, you again have to pay $5. Also know that, whatever amount of money you carry with you inside the casino, it doubles. For example if you carry $5, it will become $10. You have to go inside the casino through gate A, come out of B, again go inside the casino through gate C and finally come out of gate D. Now, how much money should you carry inside the casino so that when you finally come out of the gate D, you should be left with no (zero amount) money?
