Tease your Brain!

Can you get all of these brain teasers right without cheating? I couldn't! Good luck to you :)


Puzzle 1:

Can you complete the following language equations? For example 24 H in a D is 24 Hours in a Day.

366 D in a L Y
50 U S
8 S on a O
52 C in a F D
90 D in a R A
7 W of the A W
12 S of the Z
18 H on a G C 

Puzzle 2:
I start with the letter E.
I end with the letter E.
I usually contain only one letter
Yet I am not the letter E!
What am I?


Puzzle 3:
s oou oan oee, oy poinoer oepoacos eoero thord oetoer oito tho leoteo 'o'. How mony oifoeront oetoero haoe boen oepoacod?


Puzzle 4:

What is the next number in this sequence?

1 11 21 1211 111221 ==?==


Puzzle 5: 
Answer quickly. Starting with an empty barrel, which happens first?

2/3 full
1/4 empty
1/2 full
3/4 empty

Puzzle 6:

In a dictionary, the verb 'BE' is described as:

BE [verb]

first and third person singular past indicative: was
second person singular and plural and first and third person plural past indicative: were
past subjunctive: were
past participle: been
present participle: being
first person singular present indicative: am
second person singular and plural and first and third person plural present indicative: are
third person singular present indicative: is
present subjunctive: be

Therefore you can correctly say 'I am', 'she is', 'you are', etc. Is it ever grammatically correct to say 'I is'?

Puzzle 7:
During a crazy weekend of paintball, four friends were having great fun. The paint came in blue, green, yellow and red. Coincidentally, the four friends had T-shirts in those same colours. Brenda used blue paint balls. The person in the green T-shirt used yellow paint balls. James was not wearing a red T-shirt. Diane used green paint balls and wore a blue T-shirt. Simon was the only person who used paint which was the same colour as his T-shirt. Can you tell which colour paint they each used and the colour of their respective T-shirts?

Puzzle 2:
An envelope.


Puzzle 3:
The answer is 15.

The paragraph should read:

As you can see, my printer replaces every third letter with the letter 'o'.
How many different letters have been replaced?

I actually figured out the sentence after reading it for a while, but somehow I counted 14. >_< -Tyler


Puzzle 4:
312211: each term describes the previous term. Therefore the missing term should be read as: three ones, two twos and one one. 


Puzzle 5:
3/4 empty: since 3/4 empty means 1/4 full.


I actually got this one right! ^_^ -Tyler


Puzzle 6:
Yes: I is the first letter of the word igloo!


Puzzle 7:
Name    Wore    Paint
Simon   red     red
Brenda  yellow  blue
James   green   yellow
Diane   blue    green


Puzzle 8: 
Lounger


Puzzle 9:
1. errers [should be errors]
2. They [should be There]
3. there are only two errors


Actually, I think there are 5 errors because the comma should be a period, and the W in "what" should be capitalized. Thats 4 errors, which then makes the fifth error. Ha. I can say confusing things too, BrainBashers! -Tyler


Puzzle 10: 
Now go back and read the THIRD word in each line from the top.
