14 Puzzles That Can Challenge Your Intelligence
Brain teasers aren’t only satisfying, but they also have the ability to rewire our brains if practiced often enough. And this probably explains the phrase “use or lose it,” which only proves how our brains need continual workouts. By keeping our minds stimulated, we keep them strong and healthy.
Bright Side wanted to challenge your brain, which is why we created 14 puzzles and riddles that can bring drops of sweat to your forehead.

I thought that was the answer to that one too.
I also thought that the answer to the one where you make 4 out of the 3 sticks was to push the 2nd and 3rd sticks together to make a V so the the sticks would become IV the roman numeral for 4.
I would have never thought of that! Great thinking. I think that that should be it's answer.
#7: Several dice are showing 4 and 3. If the opposite faces of a dice add up to 7 (which they do) then the 4 cannot be next to the 3!
#12: Nonsense. Their spouts are at the same level, so they hold the same amount of tea
#14 I can't believe I didn't see all those animals
#11: The crocodile, because it’s a reptile while the rest are all mammals
