Riddles are a very simple and fast method to challenge our intelligence and our ability to reason, often outside the classic schemes. An excellent exercise for the mind, but also a game to tease our minds and that of our friends and relatives. Riddles are not just fun pastimes, they also reinforce our fluency in logical reasoning. They are real logic tests, very useful for training the mind.
Remember that the purpose of a riddle is always to “fool your mind”. Who writes a riddle often makes use of metaphors and the construction of the sentence, if read too logically, takes us away from the solution. We must always read the riddles with a free and open mind, trying to grasp the meaning of the riddle but moving away as much as possible from its deception. Read down below
