Warm-up for the mind
  1. My mother called my son to ask how things were going. He said he was in an amazing situation. A plane is in front of him, a horse is behind him, and he is on the ship. What does all this mean?



  2. What is impossible to put in even the largest pan?
  3. The elderly man was caught in the rain but could not find a place to hide. He came home all angry and wet. His wife, however, smiled that none of the hair on his head was wet. How did that happen?



  4. He bought a turkey for $10 and sold it to a farmer for $20. He later bought two more turkeys for $30 and sold them to the same farmer for $40. How much did the businessman manage to earn on these deals?
  5. The picture shows a house with doors and stairs. Try to calculate how many stairs a girl needs to climb to the top.





Tips and solutions
  1. Most likely, the son rides on the carousel. And then it is quite understandable that there is a plane in front of him, a horse moves behind him, and he himself is on the ship.
  2. Even in the largest pan it is impossible to put the lid from this pan.



  3. Probably, this man is bald, so there is no hair on his head, there was nothing to get wet.
  4. On the first turkey, the businessman earned $ 10, and then received another $ 5 profit from the sale of 2 more turkeys. It turns out that on these transactions, the enterprising man earned 10 + 5 + 5 = 20 dollars.
  5. If you go around all the stairs in order, you will have to walk really 6 stairs. But if the girl immediately goes up to the third floor, and then rearranges the stairs that she just climbed, she can quickly reach the fourth floor. And from here through the open doors you can run to the stairs that lead to the roof. Therefore, you need to walk four stairs (or even three, but you need to walk the same stairs twice).
