So, guys, how many riddles did you solve? 🙂

[@elliemoseley1786]

Is it just me or did anyone else find the answers stupidly obvious?

[@arjunpilacheri7771]

only one of the prisoners would escape.right?what is the question?

[@aureliousofphoenix7811]

I swear the kid with the fidget spinner did something wrong.

[@untrust2033]

Number one is false, if the tallest one climbed out the window, only one would get out, not 3.

There are too many unaccounted variables to even attempt an answer to these questions. You could have a thousand correct answers and it would be up to the person asking the questions to correctly set out the scenario in a manner that one could extract the 'correct' answer. These are nothing but basic problem solving questions with a random answer being deemed correct and all others false regardless of whether the outcome is the same or not to the appointed correct answer.

Ridiculous. The tallest person (also the largest person) would likely have too much weight to be carried by his smaller counterparts.

Well its official I'm dumb

i beat the maze at the beginning

[@goldplaysgt6913]

Heiii my ice cream last for 15 minutes

[@doobyempires228]

You know what they say, if you buy ice cream with your own money 10 minutes after a cafe is robbed, you're 100% a suspect.

If these could be solved by only 10% then many of the viewers are next Albert Einstein

[@danielhurley2894]

For the bonus question, a lot depends upon the volume of water flowing per second and the size of the pipes between the tanks. But in any event, #3 would overflow (i.e. fill) first - - even if it's only by a split second - - since the water must flow from #3 to #4 in order to overflow (i.e. fill) #4. So #3 must fill first.

i thought to myself wow im top 10%, then realized how dumb i am for sitting through a test for 5 year olds.

[@barrywilliams991]

The tanks question was nebulous. "Which tank" implies the answer regards ONE tank. I guessed 3 which, under the stipulation, does fill first. Further, no description of full is given. I naturally considered the answer would mean full is where the input pipe is in each tank. I also disregarded the positions of the tanks relative to each under.

#1 it also looks like all 3 can just get on their tipy toes.

[@dr.psycho5606]

Answer to #1 : the third prisoner should stand on his toes
