30+ Detective Riddles You Won't Be Able to Solve

[Music] it has been scientifically proven that you must solve 10 detective riddles every day to develop and exercise your brain you don't believe it ok ok perhaps we have made this fact up but you can't deny that entertaining your mind solving cases along with Sherlock Holmes and other famous detectives is anything but boring so if you are ready to check how attentive you are this video is what you need remember to give us a like for letting you feel like a real professional and solving crimes good luck a detective and the blacksmith brothers on a snowy winter night the detective was resting in front of the fireplace suddenly somebody threw a snowball at his window the hit was so strong that the glass shattered the detective stood up and had just enough time to notice three kids who lived in the neighborhood running away they were brothers with the name's Sam blacksmith Peter blacksmith and Mark blacksmith the next day a paper note was left on the detectives door there was written question mark blacksmith he threw the snowball the detective knew immediately which brother to question ok now you have 15 seconds hopefully enough time to figure it out [Music] [Applause] [Music] the symbol question mark is called the question mark so here we go question mark blacksmith he threw the snowball escape once a famous detective Stevenson had to find an escaped prisoner he knew the criminal was hiding in one of these houses but he had to know the exact address so as to not frighten the criminal away first he took a photo of the houses with the help of a drone when he looked at the photo he realized where the criminal was so can you understand where that fugitive was and what helped the detective find him you have 15 seconds your time has started are you ready to check your guesses the murderer was in house a you see the car standing nearby was the only car parked facing the road it would let the criminal escape quickly jailbreak jack is placed in a cell with a dirt floor and only one window positioned so high no one could reach it this cell is empty except for a shovel it's hot and dry there but Jack won't get any food or drink anytime soon he has only two days to break out of the jail if not he'll die we know what you have immediately thought but no digging a tunnel is not an option as it will take more than two days so how should Jack escape the cell what's your guess don't forget you can pause the video to have more time to think [Music] all set here's the answer well the way out for Jack turned out to be a piece of cake he had to use the shovel to make a pile of dirt under the window climb on it and escaped from the cell seriously who secures prisoners this way your task is the following empty one jar of milk and one jar of water into a ball oh wait you couldn't think this would be that simple there are several conditions you must be able to differentiate between the milk and the water you can separate the milk from the water and finally you aren't allowed to use any kinds of dividers to keep these two liquids apart wow that's a task even Cinderella didn't have to deal with will you be able to figure out how to separate the inseparable 20 seconds for you to do this [Music] in fact all you need to do is the pour the water into the ball first and freeze it then after that just add the milk and then you have milk on the rocks all in the family a famous singer filed a lawsuit against a paparazzo who she claimed was crossing boundaries into her personal life when it was time for the big day in court it turned out that the prosecuting and defense lawyers knew each other actually one of them was the father of the other son how is that possible you've got 15 seconds to detangle these twisted family ties [Music] well if you were making up words and calling this lawyer his second grand cousin or something props for the creativity but you were wrong the lawyers are simply married to each other the wife was up against the father of her son [Music] suicide or murder a detective comes to a crime scene a man is said to jump out of a window of an abandoned building and commit suicide the detective goes inside the building to the first floor to the room at the front he lights a cigarette goes up to the window which faces the dead man opens it and throws the cigarette out then he goes to the second floor and does the same he continues until he has visited all the floors and repeated the action again and again then he returns to his team and says that it was by no means a suicide but a murder how did he find it out it took the detective much longer than 15 seconds to understand the truth what about you are you smarter [Music] when a person commits suicide jumping from a high floor they don't tend to close the window behind them but in this case none of the windows which face the dead man were left open it means that there was somebody who closed them after the man died detectives tragedy one morning the detective had an argument with his wife and went away without his cellphone and the keys in the evening when he returned home he found his colleague his scared wife and a murdered man Stephens wife told her story I was sitting in the living room when I heard the doorbell I thought it was my husband and opened the door but a criminal pushed me and so I stabbed him with a knife the detective ordered the policeman to arrest his wife because she had planned to kill him how did the detective figure it out time to wrack your brain [Music] [Music] unfortunately mrs. Stephens indeed plan to kill her husband she went to open the door with a knife because she thought it was her husband a stolen necklace mrs. Smith went to the police claiming that her vintage necklace was missing the woman was upset when the police arrived they saw no signs of a break-in no messed up locks no misplaced doors only one window was broken there was a total mess inside the house and dirty footprints all over the floor surprisingly the next day mrs. Smith was arrested for fraud why [Music] are you ready there five seconds left [Music] here's the answer the police were sure that mrs. Smith lied to them because the window was broken from the inside if it had been broken from the outside little pieces of glass would have been on the rooms floor there's a magician famous for the tricks he performs what if such tricks is staying under the water for ten minutes however one day John smart challenges the magician saying that he will stay under the water for two minutes longer to say that the magician is surprised is to say nothing he accepts the bet and promises John to give him five thousand dollars if he does beat the record all in all John wins and gets his money how does he manage to do this do you think that John could be practicing not to breathe underwater since childhood or perhaps he's an unfit in what's your idea you have 20 seconds to make up your mind [Music] well to tell you the truth John was cheating just a bit he took a glass filled it with water and held it over his head for 12 minutes yep always read the fine print on the contracts you saw secure delivery Jill and Liz live miles apart from each other and they love sending each other presents in the mail this time Jill has a special gift for Liz a gold bracelet with their initials of course she doesn't want this precious item to get lost or stolen so she got a lock to secure the gift box safely the problem is that Liz doesn't have the key to Jill's lock she has her own lock the key to which Jill doesn't have Jill can't send the lock box and the key together obviously do you think it's possible for them to somehow get the bracelet delivered securely I hope you can help these besties out within 15 seconds where there's a will there's a way a very complicated way Jill should send the package with her own lock on it once Liz gets it she should simply add her own lock to the box and send it back to Jill so now it has two locks on it when Jill gets the package she simply takes her lock off leaving Liz's on and sends it back to Liz Liz will now receive the package with only her lock on it boy they ice teeth too young ladies were having dinner together they both ordered iced tea one of them was very thirsty and drank very fast she had five glasses during the time the other drink only one tragically the girl who was nursing her drink and drinking slowly died the other stayed alive but it turned out that all the drinks they had been served contain poison how is it possible but the girl who drank more survived a strange case are you ready with the answer [Music] in fact the poison was contained in the ice the ice and the tea of the girl who drank fast didn't have time to melt but the ice cubes and the other girls drink melted releasing the poison into her team friendly murder Mary and Ben lived with their four friends one day then came home and found Mary dead on a sofa bummer he called the police the detective arrived and realized that Mary had been killed not so long ago he interrogated all four friends that's what their stories told Mia was in the kitchen and said she'd come home two hours ago and gone to the kitchen John was reading a book in the garden he said he hadn't left the place that day Jennifer said she had been swimming in a swimming pool for three hours Jane was painting in her room unexpectedly the detective asked everyone to show him their hands and found out who lied to him immediately that person was the murderer how did Stevens uncover the criminal time is ticking away tick-tock who do you think the detective was checking well time is out here's the answer pay attention to the hands of Jennifer if she had been swimming in the pool for so long the skin on her palms would have been wrinkled Oh Jennifer you're pruny hands gave you away [Music] murder at school on the first day of the school year a geography teacher was murdered the police had as many as four suspects they were the gardener the math teacher the coach and even the school principal man I vote for the principal now the sticking point was that they all had alibis the gardener was cutting bushes the math teacher was holding a mid-year test the coach was playing basketball the principal was in the office despite this the killer was arrested immediately can you guess who killed the geography teacher and how the police solve the mystery you have 15 seconds to find the killer [Music] [Music] the killer was the math teacher according to his own words he was holding a mid-year test but the crime happened on the first day of the school year he needs to learn how to lie better don't you think Sam Princeton is so unhappy with his life so frustrated with his boss picking at him and so angry with himself for being too weak to leave his job and start a new life that he shoots himself right between his eyes in the bathroom the bullets are real the revolver is real as well however in just a second Sam goes out of the bathroom alive and unharmed how is it possible hmm that's not a piece of cake or perhaps you've already figured it out if not you still have 20 seconds to use [Music] [Music] the thing is that Sam didn't shoot at his real self he shot his reflection in the mirror the clock strikes midnight the clock strikes six times at six o'clock the first and last strike are thirty seconds apart can you tell how long it'll take the clock to strike twelve times at midnight you're 15 seconds on the clock start now [Music] did you decide sixty Seconds that would be too simple now wouldn't it of course that's wrong the correct answer is sixty-six seconds there were five intervals between six strikes at six o'clock if we divide 30 by five we'll see that each interval between two strikes lasts six seconds there will be 11 of these intervals at midnight so it'll take the clock 66 seconds to strike 12 times at midnight nice try maybe you'll get it the next time mysterious death in the car a man was found shot to death in his car the police men were puzzled as there was no gunpowder on his clothes or anywhere else in the car this meant that the person who shot him was outside but all the windows were closed all the doors locked and the only bullet hole was on the man's body how was it possible perhaps some mystic powers here's your 15 seconds [Music] the answer is actually quite simple the car where the man had been killed was a convertible when the fatal shot sounded the roof was down Blood Ties a millionaire was shot in the forehead at his own home detective Stevens spoke to the millionaires three sons Jack John and James who were at home jack said that night John their father oh let me guess the wife's name is Jane I'll bet anyway the father had been at an official reception they arrived home and entered the living room his father came in first then John and Jack himself when their father came up to the stairs James entered the living room and shot their father John confirmed Jack's information James said he had visited his friends that night when he arrived home his father had already been dead the detective understood everything immediately so who was the killer and how did Stephens resolve that case what do you think [Music] the word of one brother against two others a tricky case or have you already figured out what happened let's check if you were right John and Jack lied if James had killed their father a bullet would have shot him in the nape because he wanted to go upstairs however the wound was on his forehead all right I was thinking it was Jane but now a lonely man a lonely old man lived in his house in the suburbs of the city he led a quiet life perhaps he was a homebody as he never left his dwelling for long it was a midsummer Friday when the mailman walked by and called out for the man there was no answer coming from inside the house the mailman looked into the window and Ono saw the man in a pool of blood when the policeman arrived he found Tuesday's newspaper two bottles of warm milk and one bottle of cold milk the next day the killer was arrested do you know how the police found out who it was so quickly what is your idea five seconds remaining can you see the answer it was obviously the mailman he knew that no one in that house would read a newspaper on Wednesday or Thursday that's why he came only on Friday in the city where people are keen on brain teasers and riddles 4% of people don't list their phone numbers so if we select 40 random people from the phone directory how many of them will have unlisted numbers oops seems you'll have to apply some knowledge of mathematics here 20 seconds to refresh everything you've ever learned [Music] [Music] the answer may make you indignant you've opened your math school books after all but it's zero percent if the numbers of these 40 people are in the phone directory they are already listed by default [Music] murder at the mansion on Sunday afternoon mr. James was found dead outside his mansion buried under the snow Oh Oh Frosty the Snowman did it no okay never mind noticing him the gardener informed James wife who immediately called the police the police asked everybody in the house what they had been doing before the body was found and got the following alibis the gardener had been shoveling snow off the walkways of the property the maid had been making the beds the chef had been making breakfast the wife had been reading a book while waiting for her breakfast the son had been having a long hot shower the daughter had been sitting near the fireplace later that day two of them were arrested who were they think it over you've got 15 seconds [Music] the wife and the chef killed mr. James how did the police guess well who makes and waits for breakfast in the afternoon fly in coffee a woman was having breakfast at a nice restaurant at one moment she noticed a fly in her coffee she was indignant and made the way to bring her another cup of the drink after he returned with a new cup of coffee she shouted what is the service in this place you have brought me the same cup of coffee how did she understand it perhaps the woman was a psychic what do you think [Music] [Music] she had already put sugar in her previous cup of coffee when she tried the new one it was sweet romantic journey mr. and mrs. Clyde went on a trip to the mountains but two days later mr. Clyde returned home alone he went to the police and said that mrs. Clyde had fallen to her death the next day detective Stevens visited mr. Clyde and arrested him for his wife's murder Clyde confessed his guilt and asked the detective how he found out he was the murderer Steven said he simply called a travel agent and asked for some information what did the travel agent say to the detective [Music] what is your version did it have anything to do with the insurance perhaps if you have just a few seconds left do you know the answer the words of the travel agent shed light on the whole situation mr. Clyde bought two plane tickets to the mountains and only one return ticket ah if only mrs. Clyde had known a blamed the Beatles she didn't have a ticket to ride two pills a serial killer had a particular practice going he kidnapped people and made them take one of two pills one was harmless the other was poisonous whichever pill a victim took the serial killer took the other one then the scheme repeated itself continuously victims took their pills with water and died the killer repeatedly survived how did he always get the harmless pill good luck your time has started [Music] here's the answer the serial killer was tricking people the poison was in the glass of water his victims drank not in the pill oh that stinks so unfair [Music] you have seven guests at your birthday party and you've got to figure out how to cut your round birthday cake only three times to make eight equal sized slices seven for your guests and one for you of course times a-tickin and your guests are waiting for their cake so get going [Music] answer well first off you have to cut vertically right down the middle of the cake to make two equal pieces do the same thing but this time horizontally to make four slices your third and final cut should be laterally across the cake which will quickly turn your four slices into eight so how'd you do on this one and no worries we still got tons more Sam's birthday Sam is a truly special young lady she was just 17 the day before yesterday next year she'll be 20 already what's her secret you've got 15 seconds to figure out this girl's mysterious aging [Music] Sam's not a time traveler or anything she was born on December 31st so if today is January 1st it's correct to say that she was 17 on the day before yesterday she turned 18 the next day she'll be 19 on the last day of this year and next year she'll be 20 and that's how Sam gets a lot of dates in court for killing the wife a man is accused of killing his wife his lawyer in his final statement declares that the wife of the man in fact hasn't been killed and will enter the courtroom in a minute everybody in the room including the judge and the jury turns and looks at the door and the lawyer with the defendant looks at them several minutes pass and the lawyer says it proves that you are not so sure that my client has killed his wife otherwise you wouldn't believe me almost immediately after that the jury comes up with a guilty verdict why does it happen 15 seconds to find the answer [Music] the man who had been accused wasn't looking at the door he was sure his wife wouldn't enter as he had killed her liar a man told the police that he had come home from work to find his wife's dead body lying in the middle of the parlor he said she had apparently found his gun in his desk and shot herself however the policeman knew at once that the man was lying how did he know 15 seconds is all you have to solve this mystery [Music] the policeman noticed that the man had an empty gun holster attached to his belt it meant he'd either been about to take the gun with him or had it on him all along the former couldn't be true because he said he'd come home from work and found his wife dead that's why we are left with the latter not the latter the latter which proves that the man had actually shot his wife frozen windows once on a cold winter day a tragedy happened John found his friend dead in his own house John called the police and said he was just passing by Jack's house when he decided to drop by to see him he had been knocking and ringing the bell for a long time however all was silent perhaps Jack wasn't at home but John could very well see the light in the room through a frozen window he breathed on the ice window glass and saw jack on the floor unexpectedly for John the police arrested him as the main suspect why 15 seconds to go [Music] only five seconds left [Music] obviously John hasn't thought his legend through he wouldn't be able to unfreeze the window glass because it's usually I see on the inside a blind man had been dreaming of being able to see again for many years this had been his biggest wish after some time his doctor confirmed that he could have an operation that would solve his problem the man couldn't be happier the surgery went well and the man took the train to go home the doctor allowed him to take his bandages off three hours after the operation so the man was so impatient that he did this while still on the train but as soon as he finished he committed a suicide jumping off the train his operation was successful so why did he do this twenty seconds for you to solve this mystery [Music] why could a man whose dream has come true kill himself in fact it was a tragic coincidence when the man opened his bandages the train was going through a dark tunnel that's why the man thought he was still blind and killed himself stuck in the middle it's Fitness day at school and all the children ran the same distance each kid was ranked according to his or her own unique result Billy turned out to be both the 50th fastest and the 50th slowest runner how many kids are there at billy school piece of cake right I'll still give you 15 seconds just in case [Music] even though 100 sounds like a clear-cut answer it's actually 99 Billy is 50th in the sequence from 1 to 50 of the fastest runners if he's the 50th slowest there has to be 99 runners ranked from 50 to 99 [Music] a case of a smuggler a man carrying two bags with sand crosses the Mexican border on a bicycle everyday customs officers regularly check the bags and all the time they contain sand it is obvious that the man smuggled something but the officers can't realize what it is exactly as they don't have any proof the man crosses the border without interruptions what does he smuggle your time has started this creative individual distracts the custom officers attention with the bags of sand but in fact he smuggles bicycles [Music] silly murderer the detective was speaking to a doctor in a waiting room when a dismayed man rushed in and screamed somebody shot my wife the detective asked the man to tell him everything the man mr. Clark said that he was at work when his housekeeper called him and said that something terrible had happened to his wife and that she was in the intensive care unit he hung up immediately and went to the hospital when mr. Clark finished his story the detective arrested him on the attempted murder charge why did he do this can the detective read minds what is your opinion you have just a few seconds left to make your guess in fact mr. Clark didn't know anything about a shot his housekeeper only said that something bad had happened to his wife no firearm had been mentioned by the way are you also keeping count of how many couples are killing their spouses so much spouse aside what does this say about our society well firstly the killers all screw it up but I digress [Music] chemical substances a famous chemist was murdered in his lab there was no evidence found except for a piece of paper with the names of chemical substances on it on the day he was murdered the chemist had only three visitors his wife Mary his nephew Nicholas and his friend Jonathan the police arrested the murderer right away how did they know who it was a little hint play closer attention to the note [Music] [Applause] [Music] the answer is hidden in the note this piece of paper had a clue if you combine the short names of the chemical substances on the paper you'll get a name and I see oh la ass even dying this man remained a real chemist speaking of chemists here's one for you Johnny was a chemist son but johnny is no more for what he thought was h2o was h2so4 which is of course sulfuric acid oops well did you manage to solve these detective riddles did you wow if so don't forget to hit like and share this video with your friends your friend asks you for a favor and gives you $5 asking you to buy something to eat something to drink something to feed his cow with and something to plant in his garden at the same time you're allowed to buy just one thing what are you going to buy to eat to drink to feed the cow and to plant Wow doesn't your friend think that's a little bit too much do you know the solution to his riddle if not yet you still have 20 seconds [Music] [Music] you can go and buy a watermelon you can eat it you can drink it you can feed the cow with the rinds and as for the watermelon seeds you can easily plant them in the garden the resourceful goldsmith a king invited a famous astrologer to his palace in order to read his future in the Stars the astrologer agreed to come at a price he said he would show up on any day of the month and the king would have to pay him on the spot in goal he demanded an amount of gold in ounces corresponding to the date of his visit the king agreed so he ordered the goldsmith to make gold pieces weighing from 1 to 31 ounces the king was expecting to see 31 pieces but only got 5 instead how much did each piece way since this one involves some math you've got 30 seconds to solve it [Music] this clever goldsmith made five easily combined able pieces of gold instead of 31 individuals they weighed one two four eight and 16 ounces with these weights the king could give the astrologer a 1 and 2 ounce piece on the third day or four day 15 he could give the astrologer pieces weighing one two four and eight ounces on the thirtieth day the astrologer would get pieces weighing two four eight and sixteen all the other dates would be possible to weigh in gold to suicide message a body of a man was found in the flat at some moment he collapsed against his desk a gun in his hand the police found a cassette recorder nearby when they pressed the play button what they heard was I can't live like this anymore then the sound of a gunshot was heard however the detective immediately figured out that it was a murder how did he realize that it wasn't a suicide surely you already know the answer if not you still have some time [Music] if the man had killed himself he by no means would have been able to rewind the tape conclusion there was someone else the murder of an aristocrat George Smith was murdered on Sunday evening there were five other people in his house mr. Smith's wife I'm betting she did it his personal cook a butler a housemaid and a gardener they all told detective Stevens what they were doing that evening mrs. Smith was reading a book near a fireplace the cook was making breakfast the butler was giving instructions to workers in the living room the housemaid was washing the dishes the gardener was watering plants in the greenhouse right after all the conversations the detective arrested the murderer who was the killer and how did Stevens find the criminal will you be able to solve this riddle in 15 seconds if you want more time to consider this case you can always pause the video [Music] well what is your answer the criminal was the cook of course he was I knew that all the time the murder was committed in the evening but he said he was making breakfast he had to pay more attention to what he was saying you know what I think mrs. Smith paid the gardener to kill her husband because he was having an affair with a housemaid ha ha it all fits crime scene a man killed his wife in their car he used a knife which he later threw away into an abyss where nobody was going to find it his wife's body he took out of the car he was very careful and left no fingerprints after that he headed home and a couple of hours he got a call from the police they informed him that his wife had been killed and he had to arrive at the crime scene right away as soon as he got there however he was suspected for the murder how did the police realize it had been him who was guilty and 15 seconds for you take your time [Music] the husband wasn't informed of the definite location of the crime scene despite that he came to the right place we hope you

that saved him from the capital punishment which death did he choose you have only 20 seconds to figure it out but if you need more time don't forget you can pause the video [Music] well being a clever man the culprit chose to die of old age two men are standing on the edge of an abyss on a wood board one of them is holding a gun and wants to shoot the other one but if the second guy falls

have to deal with will you be able to figure out how to separate the inseparable 20 seconds for you to do this [Music] in fact all you need to do is the pour the water into the ball first and freeze

he manage to do this do you think that John could be practicing not to breathe underwater since childhood or perhaps he's an amphibian what's your idea you have 20 seconds to make up your mind [Music] well to tell you the truth John was cheating just a bit he took a glass filled it with water and held it over his head for 12 minutes yep always read the fine print on the contracts you saw secure delivery Jill and Liz live miles apart from each other and they love sending each other presents in the mail this time Jill has a special gift for Liz a gold bracelet with their initials of course she doesn't want this precious item to get lost or stolen so she got a lock to secure the gift box safely the problem is that Liz doesn't have the key to Jill's lock she has her own lock the key to which Jill doesn't have Jill can't send the lock box and the key together obviously do you think it's possible for them to somehow get the bracelet delivered securely I hope you can help these besties out within 15 seconds where there's a will there's a way a very complicated way Jill should send the package with her own lock on it once Liz gets it she should simply add her own lock to the box and send it back to Jill so now it has two locks on it when Jill gets the package she simply takes her lock off leaving Liz's on and sends it back to Liz Liz will now receive the package with only her lock on it boy they iced tea two young ladies were having dinner together they both ordered iced tea one of them was very thirsty and drank very fast she had five glasses during the time the other drink only one tragically the girl who was nursing her drink and drinking slowly died the other stayed alive but it turned out that all the drinks they had been served contain poison how is it possible that the girl who drank more survived strange case are you ready with the answer [Music] in fact the poison was contained in the ice the ice and the tea of the girl who drank fast didn't have time to melt but the ice cubes and the other girls drink melted releasing the poison into our team friendly murder Mary and Ben lived with their four friends one day then came home and found Mary dead on a sofa bummer he called the police the detective arrived and realized that Mary had been killed not so long ago he interrogated all four friends that's what their stories told Mia was in the kitchen and said she'd come home two hours ago and gone to the kitchen John was reading a book in the garden he said he hadn't left the place that day Jennifer said she had been swimming in a swimming pool for three hours Jane was painting in her room unexpectedly the detective asked everyone to show him their hands and found out who lied to him immediately that person was the murderer how did Stevens uncover the criminal time is ticking away tick-tock who do you think the detective was checking well time is out here's the answer pay attention to the hands of Jennifer if she had been swimming in the pool for so long the skin on her palms would have been wrinkled Oh Jennifer you're pruny hands gave you away [Music] murder at school on the first day of the school year a geography teacher was murdered the police had as many as four suspects they were the gardener the math teacher the coach and even the school principal man I vote for the principal now the sticking point was that they all had alibis the gardener was cutting bushes the math teacher was holding a mid-year test the coach was playing basketball the principal was in the office despite this the killer was arrested immediately can you guess who killed the geography teacher and how the police solved the mystery you have 15 seconds to find the killer [Music] [Music] the killer was the math teacher according to his own words he was holding a mid-year test but the crime happened on the first day of the school year he needs to learn how to lie better don't you think Sam Princeton is so unhappy with his life so frustrated with his boss picking at him and so angry with himself for being too weak to leave his job and start a new life that he shoots himself right between his eyes in the bathroom the bullets are real the revolver is real as well however in just a second Sam goes out of the bathroom alive and unharmed how is it possible hmm that's not a piece of cake or perhaps you've already figured it out if not you still have 20 seconds to use [Music] [Music] the thing is that Sam didn't shoot at his real self he shot his reflection in the mirror the clock strikes midnight the clock strikes six times at six o'clock the first and last strike are thirty seconds apart can you tell how long it'll take the clock to strike twelve times at midnight you're 15 seconds on the clock start now [Music] did you decide sixty Seconds that would be too simple now wouldn't it of course that's wrong the correct answer is sixty-six seconds there were five intervals between six strikes at six o'clock if we divide 30 by five we'll see that each interval between two strikes lasts six seconds there will be 11 of these intervals at midnight so it'll take the clock 66 seconds to strike 12 times at midnight nice try maybe you'll get it the next time mysterious death in the car a man was found shot to death in his car the policemen were puzzled as there was no gunpowder on his clothes or anywhere else in the car this meant that the person who shot him was outside but all the windows were closed all the doors locked and the only bullet hole was on the man's body how was it possible perhaps some mystic powers here's your 15 seconds [Music] the answer is actually quite simple the car where the man had been killed was a convertible when the fatal shot sounded the roof was down Blood Ties a millionaire was shot in the forehead at his own home detective Stevens spoke to the millionaires three sons Jack John and James who were at home jack said that night John their father oh let me guess the wife's name is Jane I'll bet anyway the father had been at an official reception they arrived home and entered the living room his father came in first then John and Jack himself when their father came up to the stairs James entered the living room and shot their father John confirmed Jack's information James said he had visited his friends that night when he arrived home his father had already been dead the detective understood everything immediately so who was the killer and how did Stephens resolve that case what do you think [Music] the word of one brother against two others a tricky case or have you already figured out what happened let's check if you were right John and Jack lied if James had killed their father a bullet would have shot him in the nape because he wanted to go upstairs however the wound was on his forehead all right I was thinking it was Jane but now a lonely man a lonely old man lived in his house in the suburbs of the city he led a quiet life perhaps he was a homebody as he never left his dwelling for long it was a midsummer Friday when the mailman walked by and called out for the man there was no answer coming from inside the house the mailman looked into the window and Ono saw the man in a pool of blood when the policeman arrived he found Tuesday's newspaper two bottles of warm milk and one bottle of cold milk the next day the killer was arrested do you know how the police found out who it was so quickly what is your idea five seconds remaining can you see the answer it was obviously the mailman he knew that no one in that house would read a newspaper on Wednesday or Thursday that's why he came only on Friday [Music] in the city where people are keen on brain teasers and riddles 4% of people don't list their phone numbers so if we select 40 random people from the phone directory how many of them will have unlisted numbers oops seems you'll have to apply some knowledge of mathematics here 20 seconds to refresh everything you've ever learned the answer may make you indignant you've opened your math school books after all but it's zero percent if the numbers of these 40 people are in the phone directory they are already listed by default murder at the mansion on Sunday afternoon mr. James was found dead outside his mansion buried under the snow Oh Oh Frosty the Snowman did it no okay never mind noticing him the gardener informed James wife who immediately called the police the police asked everybody in the house what they had been doing before the body was found and got the following alibis the gardener had been shoveling snow off the walkways of the property the maid had been making the beds the chef had been making breakfast the wife had been reading a book while waiting for her breakfast the son had been having a long hot shower the daughter had been sitting near the fireplace later that day two of them were arrested who were they think it over you've got 15 seconds [Music] the wife and the chef killed mr. James how did the police guess well who makes and waits for breakfast in the afternoon fly in coffee a woman was having breakfast at a nice restaurant at one moment she noticed a fly in her coffee she was indignant and made the way to bring her another cup of the drink after he returned with a new cup of coffee she shouted what is the service in this place you have brought me the same cup of coffee how did she understand it perhaps the woman was a psychic what do you think [Music] she had already put sugar in her previous cup of coffee when she tried the new one it was sweet romantic journey mr. and mrs. Clyde went on a trip to the mountains but two days later mr. Clyde returned home alone he went to the police and said that mrs. Clyde had fallen to her death the next day detective Stevens visited mr. Clyde and arrested him for his wife's murder Clyde confessed his guilt and asked the detective how he found out he was the murderer Steven said he simply called a travel agent and asked for some information what did the travel agent say to the detective what is your version did it have anything to do with the insurance perhaps you have just a few seconds left do you know the answer the words of the travel agent shed light on the whole situation mr. Clyde bought two plane tickets to the mountains and only one return ticket ah if only mrs. Clyde had known a blamed the Beatles she didn't have a ticket to ride [Music] two pills a serial killer had a particular practice going he kidnapped people and made them take one of two pills one was harmless the other was poisonous whichever pill a victim took the serial killer took the other one then the scheme repeated itself continuously victims took their pills with water and died the killer repeatedly survived how did he always get the harmless pill good luck your time has started [Music] here's the answer the serial killer was tricking people the poison was in the glass of water his victims drank not in the pill oh that stinks so unfair [Music] you have seven guests at your birthday party and you've got to figure out how to cut your round birthday cake only three times to make eight equal sized slices seven for your guests and one for you of course times a-tickin and your guests are waiting for their cake so get going [Music] answer well first off you have to cut vertically right down the middle of the cake to make two equal pieces do the same thing but this time horizontally to make four slices your third and final cut should be laterally across the cake which will quickly turn your four slices into eight so how'd you do on this one and no worries he still got tons more Sam's birthday Sam is a truly special young lady she was just 17 the day before yesterday next year she'll be 20 already what's her secret you've got 15 seconds to figure out this girl's mysterious aging [Music] Sam's not a time traveler or anything she was born on December 31st so if today is January 1st it's correct to say that she was 17 on the day before yesterday she turned 18 the next day she'll be 19 on the last day of this year and next year she'll be 20 and that's how Sam gets a lot of dates in court for killing the wife a man is accused of killing his wife his lawyer in his final statement declares that the wife of the man in fact hasn't been killed and will enter the courtroom in a minute everybody in the room including the judge and the jury turns and looks at the door and the lawyer with the defendant looks at them several minutes pass and the lawyer says it proves that you are not so sure that my client has killed his wife otherwise you wouldn't believe me almost immediately after that the jury comes up with a guilty verdict why does it happen 15 seconds to find the answer [Music] the man who had been accused wasn't looking at the door he was sure his wife wouldn't enter as he had killed her liar a man told the police that he had come home from work to find his wife's dead body lying in the middle of the parlor he said she had apparently found his gun in his desk and shot herself however the policeman knew at once that the man was lying how did he know 15 seconds is all you have to solve this mystery [Music] the policeman noticed that the man had an empty gun holster attached to his belt it meant he'd either been about to take the gun with him or had it on him all along the former couldn't be true because he said he'd come home from work and found his wife dead that's why we are left with the latter not the latter the latter which proves that the man had actually shot his wife frozen windows once on a cold winter day a tragedy happened John found his friend dead in his own house John called the police and said he was just passing by Jack's house when he decided to drop by to see him he had been knocking and ringing the bell for a long time however all was silent perhaps Jack wasn't at home but John could very well see the light in the room through a frozen window he breathed on the ice window glass and saw jack on the floor unexpectedly for John the police arrested him as the main suspect why 15 seconds to go [Music] only five seconds left [Music] obviously John hasn't thought his legend through he wouldn't be able to unfreeze the window glass because it's usually I see on the inside a blind man had been dreaming of being able to see again for many years this had been his biggest wish after some time his doctor confirmed that he could have an operation that would solve his problem the man couldn't be happier the surgery went well and the man took the train to go home the doctor allowed him to take his bandages off three hours after the operation so the man was so impatient that he did this while still on the train but as soon as he finished he committed a suicide jumping off the train his operation was successful so why did he do this twenty seconds for you to solve this mystery [Music] why could a man whose dream has come true kill himself in fact it was a tragic coincidence when the man opened his bandages the train was going through a dark tunnel that's why the man thought he was still blind and killed himself stuck in the middle it's Fitness day at school and all the children ran the same distance each kid was ranked according to his or her own unique result Billy turned out to be both the 50th fastest and the 50th slowest runner how many kids are there at billy school piece of cake right I'll still give you 15 seconds just in case [Music] even though 100 sounds like a clear-cut answer it's actually 99 Billy is 50th in the sequence from 1 to 50 of the fastest runners if he's the 50th slowest there has to be 99 runners ranked from 50 to 99 [Music] a case of a smuggler a man carrying two bags with sand crosses the Mexican border on a bicycle everyday customs officers regularly check the bags and all the time they contain sand it is obvious that the man smuggled something but the officers can't realize what it is exactly as they don't have any proof the man crosses the border without interruptions what does he smuggle your time has started [Music] [Music] this creative individual distracts the custom officers attention with the bags of sand but in fact he smuggles bicycles [Music] silly murderer the detective was speaking to a doctor in a waiting room when a dismayed man rushed in and screamed somebody shot my wife the detective asked the man to tell him everything the man mr. Clark said that he was at work when his housekeeper called him and said that something terrible had happened to his wife and that she was in the intensive care unit he hung up immediately and went to the hospital when mr. Clark finished his story the detective arrested him on the attempted murder charge why did he do this can the detective read minds what is your opinion you have just a few seconds left to make your guess in fact mr. Clark didn't know anything about a shot his housekeeper only said that something bad had happened to his wife no firearm had been mentioned by the way are you also keeping count of how many couples are killing their spouses so much spouse aside what does this say about our society well firstly the killers all screw it up but I digress [Music] chemical substances a famous chemist was murdered in his lab there was no evidence found except for a piece of paper with the names of chemical substances on it on the day he was murdered the chemist had only three visitors his wife Mary his nephew Nicholas and his friend Jonathan the police arrested the murderer right away how did they know who it was a little hint play closer attention to the note [Music] [Applause] [Music] the answer is hidden in the note this piece of paper had a clue if you combine the short names of the chemical substances on the paper you'll get a name and I see oh la ass even dying this man remained a real chemist speaking of chemists here's one for you Johnny was a chemist son but johnny is no more for what he thought was h2o was h2so4 which is of course sulfuric acid oops well did you manage to solve these detective riddles did you Wow if so don't forget to hit like and share this video with your friends your friend asks you for a favor and gives you five dollars asking you to buy something to eat something to drink something to feed his cow with and something to plant in his garden at the same time you're allowed to buy just one thing what are you going to buy to eat to drink to feed the cow and to plant Wow doesn't your friend think that's a little bit too much do you know the solution to his riddle if not yet you still have 20 seconds [Music] [Music] you can go and buy a watermelon you can eat it you can drink it you can feed the cow with the rides and as for the watermelon seeds you can easily plant them in the garden the resourceful goldsmith a king invited a famous astrologer to his palace in order to read his future in the stars the astrologer agreed to come at a price he said he would show up on any day of the month and the king would have to pay him on the spot in goal he demanded an amount of gold in ounces corresponding to the date of his visit the king agreed so he ordered the goldsmith to make gold pieces weighing from 1 to 31 ounces the king was expecting to see 31 pieces but only got 5 instead how much did each piece way since this one involves some math you've got 30 seconds to solve it [Music] this clever goldsmith made five easily combined able pieces of gold instead of 31 individuals they weighed one two four eight and 16 ounces with these weights the King could give the astrologer a 1 and 2 ounce piece on the third day or four day 15 he could give the astrologer pieces weighing one two four and eight ounces on the thirtieth day the astrologer would get pieces weighing two four eight and sixteen all the other dates would be possible to weigh in gold to suicide message a body of a man was found in the flat at some moment he collapsed against his desk a gun in his hand the police found a cassette recorder nearby when they pressed the play button what they heard was I can't live like this anymore then the sound of a gunshot was heard however the detective immediately figured out that it was a murder how did he realize that it wasn't a suicide surely you already know the answer if not you still have some time [Music] if the man had killed himself he by no means would have been able to rewind the tape conclusion there was someone else the murder of an aristocrat George Smith was murdered on Sunday evening there were five other people in his house mr. Smith's wife I'm betting she did it his personal cook a butler a housemaid and a gardener they all told detective Stevens what they were doing that evening mrs. Smith was reading a book near a fireplace the cook was making breakfast the butler was giving instructions to workers in the living room the housemate was washing the dishes the gardener was watering plants in the greenhouse right after all the conversations the detective arrested the murderer who was the killer and how did Stevens find the criminal will you be able to solve this riddle in 15 seconds if you want more time to consider this case you can always pause the video [Music] well what is your answer the criminal was the cook of course he was I knew that all the time the murder was committed in the evening but he said he was making breakfast he had to pay more attention to what he was saying you know what I think mrs. Smith paid the gardener to kill her husband because he was having an affair with a housemaid ha ha it all fits [Music] crime scene a man killed his wife in their car he used the knife which he later threw away into an abyss where nobody was going to find it his wife's body he took out of the car he was very careful and left no fingerprints after that he headed home and a couple of hours he got a call from the police they informed him that his wife had been killed and he had to arrive at the crime scene right away as soon as he got there however he was suspected for the murder how did the police realize that had been him who was guilty and 15 seconds for you take your time [Music] the husband wasn't informed of the definite location of the crime scene despite that he came to the right place we hope you had a good time while solving these riddles which one was the hardest nut to crack tell us in the comments and share this video with your friends you can compare the results afterwards once a king sentence a man to death for a crime he had committed however the king was a kind man so he allowed the man to choose the way he would prefer to die but the man was clever and managed to say something that saved him from the capital punishment which death did he choose you have only 20 seconds to figure it out but if you need more time don't forget you can pause the video [Music] well being a clever man the culprit chose to die of old age two men are standing on the edge of an abyss on a wood board one of them is holding a gun and wants to shoot the other one but if the second guy falls down the first one will fall into the abyss is there a possible way for one of them to survive who will actually die 20 seconds for you to solve this dilemma [Music] in fact the thing is that the answers to this riddle are too diverse and everyone just thinks differently so what is your idea we hate to leave you hanging over the abyss but hey it's what we do sometimes share your guess is with us in the comments [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] also tell us which riddle made you think longer than others and if there was a super tough one you didn't manage this off share this video with those of you friends who like riddles and mysteries as much as you do remember to press the like button and click Subscribe this way you'll make sure that you have access to many more cool videos on the bright side of life [Music]
