- In order to develop creative thinking, some psychologists advise solving different riddles and quizzes. Such exercises develop critical thinking, improve memory, and reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s. But with most of us using our analytical skills to solve problems, creative thinking isn't as common as you might think. So which one are you: an outside-of-the box thinker or an analytical genius? Solve these riddles and find out!

How many riddles did you manage to crack? If none - no worries, waiting for your comment anyway!
Eleven, although#4 was a stretch. Considering it doesn't mention that both men had to reach the shore simultaneously, I figured one will take the boat and reach the shore, return, and then let the other guy reach the shore, lol!! I don't think too many ppl would admirably admit to how many they got correct, instead they'll either make fun of the riddles; considering humans tend to make fun of something they can't do, or you'll have the usual kiddies seeking validation from social media via " likes," that'll be 90% of the comments. I'm counting my solution to number four, so I got 12, with some "pausing" of course. Lol!!
Riddle : 1 , 5 , 7 , 10 .😂😂😅😅
I cracked all the riddles
Try and make them super hard next time

riddle 9 has another ans when you replace 999 with 000 and 111 with 001
001+333+777+000 =1111
Atul Bhola that’s how I did it too
Yh that's how I solved it too
Salma Ali same
I was thinking the same
I came up with the same answer
On the “Where does Friday actually come before Thursday?” A answer could be: In the sentence.
Or The first Friday of the month
I said alphabetical order, theoretically I got it correct, as all dictionaries follow alphabetical order
Lol on 1:52 on first ttry to solve it i thought it was 8 cause i do like this
1+1=2
2+1=3
3+2=5
5+3=8
Im doing right+left LOL thatswhy i thought it was 8
That's what I got also. But I knew that 5+8 didn't equal to 9.
I did it like 1+1=2=112 2+3=5=11235 5+?=9 5-9 =4! And the answer is 4
ROBLOX MONTAGE same here
11+12=23, 12+23=35, 23+35=58, 35+58=93 So ...8... is the real answer to riddle #3
I came up with the same solution?
5:36
Questioner: ‘High five if that was your answer’
Me: (Slaps the screen) GOOD HIGH-FIVE
#8 said, "Imagine." So my answer was to stop imagining.
Omg same lol
I was thinking the exact same thing
Same
Same
Same
Number 14 the answer could also be the fact that everyone thinks monday is the first day of the week but it is repetitive meaning you could be saying:
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Meaning thursday came afterwards

There can be another solution - Replace the first two ones and all the nines with zeroes.
The answer will be 001 + 333 + 777 + 000 = 1111.
Can this be a solution? Please tell!
thank you
011 + 303 + 707 + 090 = 1111
111 + 003 + 007 + 990 = 1111
101 + 033 + 077 + 900 = 1111
These 3 can also be part of the solution. Thanks
Same it can be a solution
@@hedgehog6507 yes
Yeah! That's what I was thinking
My plan for number 8 was to stop imagining
same here
Nickalis Powell mine too

For riddle #9, I replaced all three nines with zeros, and did the same with the first two ones (one-hundreds & tens placement), leaving 1+333+777 = 1,111.
Yeah, that's what I did, too. 😋
Did the same
same
I did that too
everyone knows this sort of stuff has alternate answers. Well, everyone except Bright Side!
For #9 I got a different answer:
Remove two ones and remove the whole row of nines. Add the rest up and you’ll get 1111
me three
#8 SIMPLY WE CAN STOP IMAGING.....
5:36 what's your plan?
*Stop imagining*
Me shoot myself
wait for the lion and jaguar to fight it out, and tranq the winner
Team Galaxy that’s what my plan was!

@@admiredgsu1217the third problem/ the thumbnail
Last riddle is wrong. Life-support machines are plugged in a generator outlet. Even if there is a power outage, the machines don't stop.
the power went out and the generators failed
Most of the questions weren’t specific enough:(
@@dasshead-qh3jk they still have batteries. so its ok for 5 mins.
Gervais Melissa that’s why they have a generator outlet
Gervais Melissa I agreed to your comment.
With number 4, it said there was room for only one passenger. Wouldn’t the answer be ‘one was the skipper (driver or whatever), and the other one was the passenger?’
Edit: question 9, you could also replace all 9’s with zeros, and 2 of the 1’s. 333 + 777 is 1110, and 1110 plus 1 is 1111
A Jaguar car has a capital ‘J’. because it’s a proper noun.
A jaguar is the one to be afraid of!
Awesome!
Don't forget we have to workout the brain 🧠 like we workout the body!
Exactly, our brains need some workout too!

ok i will
What kind of riddle is it when someone's wife passed away because of generator stopped working, that's not a riddle that's a tragedy ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
I like your answer bro... totally out of the box 👍🏿😎
@@smartlycreative4340 yeah totally out of box
lol
#14. Last week. That's where Friday comes before Thursday.
Where Friday comes before Thursday : When thursday is next week and its either Friday or friday has passed before the next thursday.
For number 8, you didn't capitalize the J in jaguar, so you had to have been talking about the animal.
Uhh, for #8, my answer is to simply stop imagining. The lion and jaguar disappear. problem solved. But that's not what they were looking for.
I still maintain I am right, LOL
For number 3 I got it right but not the same logic
11235?9
1+1 is 2
2+3 is 5
And 5+4 is 9
So it’s 4 🙃
Same
In the tenth riddle
You can also say the car has the lights on
Bright Side: If you cracked less than 12, you're analytical and logical.
Me who cracked 0: Analitik
The thumbnail is the Fibonacci sequence broken by a 9.
Same as what im thinkin
I agree as what i thought
yep
#13, It doesn't say it has to be a solid shape when done. Remove two columns of matches(4 matches each) from left and right center. This leaves two big rectangles inside the big square. Remove any match from perimeter of the square, and you have a rectangle and some attached line segments. It might look like the a plot survey for a house with a partial fence :)
#3 I got the answer by adding the first two numbers like 1+1=2,2+3=5,5+4=9
Even replace 2 one's in the beginning and all the 9's result 1111
For number 11 I got:
5-2=3
30/5=6
10+8=18
You said to “replace” the numbers, you didn’t say I had to rearrange the existing ones...
Very true, Messiah, very true.
Hey! Cool Video, can't wait to see more!!!🔥
5:27 the word 'Jaguar' isn't capitalised, so therefore it cannot be a car.
You never said Friday and Thursday had to come in the same week, so everywhere!
It really twisted my brain I couldn't answer any of the riddles . I gave up in the second riddle . Those who did the same hit like 😗👍👍👍
Some of it didn't make sense
Which one was the hardest?
@@BRIGHTSIDEOFFICIAL no. 5
Kalakar Nayak same
And I thought they were dead
For #3, I think 386 is a better answer :) If x is the position in the sequence (starting with 1), the value follows the simple equation
f(x) = - 293/560 x^7 + 11 361/720 x^6 - 99 11/48 x^5 + 427 101/144 x^4 - 962 47/60 x^3 + 1058 287/360 x^2 - 434 13/28 x

Jelly v.s Belly 8 works too technically
Mine is 8 too!!
how u get 8??
I see, but 5+8 isn’t 9
Me too
I love these videos so much!!! 🌈🌈
And I always have fun!!!
"Where does friday come before thursday" the week before
For the lion and jaguar quiz the answer is actually stop imagining because you are just imagining it
#10
there is definetely a possibility , even during night, if the driver had turned the headlights on.
It says the drivers lights weren't on. But you could also see the light from the lamp post aren't on. Their in the picture.
But it's January, black is pretty noticeable against a blanket of snow

Riddle #9 can also be: 001 + 333 + 777 (999 turned to 000) = 1,111 🤓👌
On 3 I was thinking 1+1=2+3=5+4=9 😂
Start the week on Friday so it’s the first day
Where does friday come before Thursday?
Friday comes before Thursday in the question above.
that's what I said
For #15, we actually got the exact same riddle at school and I figured it out! I feel rlly proud right now🙃
#14
Someone named Thursday arrived to some place before a guy named Friday did. ._.
Wow XD
#3 3-1=2, but 4-3 does not equal 5. Yes, you still need to count those. Also I thought Fibonacci, so 1+1=2, 1+2=3, 2+3=5 and 3+5= *8* But 5+8 is not 9.
Which one was harder for you to solve?
Me: Everything XD
Riddle 3 you can add first 2 numbers to get 2 then add the 2nd and 3rd numbers to get 3 and so on
8 is the next number
Lol that's what I thought
that's what i got. adding
#8 If there was a Jaguar car behind you, it would have been capitalized.
I’m watching this on my Summer Vacation too. Good Night people scrolling down the comments😴
For #11 it doesn’t say the to “rearrange” the numbers. Simply “replace” them. I replaced all of them, except for the 5, with 0.
0-0=0
0/5=0
0+0=0
0*0=0
A simple answer last weeks friday comes before next weeks thursday you did not say it has to be in the same week
your and my answer is same
If Jaguar was a car, wouldn’t you need a capital letter.?
2:24 about the time
I got the answer by doing this:
1+1=2. 2+3=5. 5+?=9 ?=4
It was really easy
7:39 the driver could use headlights at night
Do you know what else break your brain💣
Homework!!!!
Yup
Really 😉😉
Yeah

#14 on Friday it’s before Thursday
Thursday was in a Bond film Friday was Robinson Caruso's friend and they had a race.
I found the 2017 in under 10 seconds!!!
Same
For No.5, there's one in the right top corner backwards
i thought just don't imagine in number 8
That was one I got wrong. I though to shoot the Jaguar so the lion could feast, but I knew that wasn't the answer and time was running out
Another Answer for 14th question(friday and thursday)
You didnt mention that the thursday and friday should be in same week..so the friday which comes in previous week always comes first than the thursday of next week😂😂😎😎
This man is on a whole different level
Friday comes before Thursday alphabetically
In Number# 3: 4-3 is not 5 so the series is not correct.
It is meant to be every second number, minus the second number before it.
Some videos like this one are fun.
Some aren't.
This one wasn't.
In the third riddle 1+1=2,1+2=3,2+3=5,3+5=8 so, 8 can also be answer I think so
for the first puzzle i solved it in a different way i dis cross eye XD
Mate, no one cares if you're first. Also, to be 'early' you would have to have watched the video before it was uploaded. You are all on time.
when i saw the thumbnail's riddle, i can quickly find the answer XD
Random Artist you got a heart!
#14
The week before
2:29 i thought it was 1+1=2
2+3=5
5+4=9
But i still got the answer correct
For number 8 just stop imagining
How many think that it should be 8 as
1+1=2
1+2=3
2+3=5
5+3=8
I too
In 14th one friday always comes before thursday in a misprinted calendar...😂😂
14:12
Said it like it's one of the hardest, yet this was the one I got the fastest xd
Again !!!!
i always try to be first even though I click immediately when I get the notification i dont know I hope I'll be first one day 😁😀
Phone, phone service, intent, how close you live to where it's being broadcasted, ppl are faster, etc....
#14 I said black Friday but idk if that's on Friday or not =/ (it DOES have Friday in its name tho…)
i like riddle no.3 because i add all of it like 1+1=2+2=4+3=7+5=12+9=21 so i kinda lost in my counting so messed up with and go with 22 and then i add those two number 2+2=④ so finally i did answer four/4 and i thought that i was wrong but actually i was NOT wrong at all. ok,ok i admit that i was surprised. and when the answer finally revealed i was SHOCKED! first of all. and that's how my tecnique goes on heheh😎😎😎😏😏 and OH! also this is my takeaway "When you dont trust your answer just go with it and push your your answer until it gets right".
For 14 my answer was simply just the week before
Edit: since you never said right before thursday
13:31 also waa darkness kind of means depression too waa soon waa.
The
11235?9 I got 4 but in a different way I did
1+1 is 2
2+3 is 5
5+4 is 9
SuperDuperSlasher same
Riddle #9 could alternatively be solved by replacing the first two ones in the first row with zeros as in, then leaving rows 2&3 untouched and skip to row 4 and replace all the nines with zeros as:001+333+777+000=1,111💪🏿
See it works!👍🏿
Yep. That’s what I did.
I only got 1 right, it was the last one😂😂😂
Another valid answer for no.14 is that Friday and Thursday are names and Friday is older than Thursday
I got:
#2
#3
#4
#6
#7
# 16
I got half of what is needed to be creative
Q 9
Replace the three 9
And the first two ones
8 could work in that number pattern too!
friday comes before friday a week before
Number 14
What if it's Friday?
That's what I was thinking.
For 12 i got that the last person takes one then puts it back
2nd riddle, he may be quarantine for 14days😁
2:32 i did it differently i did it as 1+1=2, 2+3=5 , 5+x=9
Using linear equations
5+x=9
x=9-5
x=4
That's how I did it
Same
