Have you ever wondered if your mind is normal (i.e. average) or somehow different? Here are 3 lateral thinking puzzles. The answers are published below, but do not go immediately to read them! Think up your own answers first.
Here is the story of a young girl. At her mother’s funeral, she saw an unknown young man. He was charming, really the man of her dreams. She madly fell in love with him. After a couple of days, the young girl killed her own sister…
Question: What motive did she have to do it?
Take at most 10 seconds to do this test, otherwise, it will not work.
Find how many ‘f’s there are in the following text:
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIF-
IC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Do the following reasoning exercise, answering the questions one by one, without going to the next question if you have not answered the previous yet.
It is not necessary to write your answers.
How much is:
15 + 6 =
3 + 56 =
89 + 2 =
12 + 53 =
75 + 26 =
25 + 52 =
63 + 32 =
Yes, these are a bit more difficult but the exercise is really worth doing, so be patient:
123 + 5 =
Now think of a tool and a color!
She hoped that the young man would appear again at the funeral.
Explanation: If you gave the correct answer, you probably think like a psychopath.
The test was developed and used by a famous American psychologist to determine whether a person has a murderous mentality. Several criminals who did the test correctly answered the question.
If you did not give the correct answer, it is good for you! If someone of your friends found it, keep away from him! 🙂
How many ‘f’s did you find? Three?
It is wrong, there are six!
If you don’t believe me, go above and count them again!
Explanation: The mind cannot process the ‘OFs’. Awesome huh?
Anyone who manages to find six ‘f’s is a genius, those who find four or five are really rare, three – are normal… Less than three – change your glasses! 🙂
Did you think of a “red hammer”?
It is the answer given by 98% of people who did this exercise.
If you thought of something else, then you probably are one of the 2% of the people whose mind and thinking are quite different.

Totally guessed that she wanted to see the man again.
6
And a brown wrench for some reason
I prefer my answer to question 1: The "Young man" was at the mothers funeral because he was her lover and the father of her child. He and his daughter did what he does and what she was heritably inclined to do, and she became pregnant. When she discovered the truth she had a late term abortion, "killing" her "sister"
1. I was stumped and didn't know.
2. I guessed 4
3. I said blue wrench
K the first one I was like whatever then, that's cool, but for the second two what the actual f*** lol
well for the first question, i've already seen it so obviously i got the correct answer
second i got 3 as expected
third i said "yellow hammer" bc i originally thought of "silver hammer" and i was like, "they're gonna expect me to say that so screw it!!! i'm going yellow!"
