Answering a number of questions can show if the candidate has a natural potential to develop creative thinking and logic based reasoning skills. Would you be one of the few who nailed the test?

We at Bright Side want to give you an opportunity to feel like a special agent with these 5 cases to solve.

1. Who is the mother?

The woman on the left is the mother. The child is facing her as he plays and she is leaning forward toward either him or the other woman in a protective manner. The other woman is leaning back in her chair and is displaying submissive yet relaxed posture.

This is the first test. Look at the picture.

There are two ladies in a room who are sitting opposite each other while a little boy plays on the floor. Study the image well.

Question. Who do you think is the real mother of the child?

Answer.

The mother of the child is the lady on the left. She is sitting so that her legs are directed towards the child.

  • This position reflects the natural desire of a mother to protect her child.
  • The posture of the woman on the left is protective, slightly bent forward.
  • It is natural for small children to face their mother when playing or doing some sort of activity, if she is around.

2. Two pills

The serial killer handed the poisonous one to the person. The text does not say that he gave them a choice of which pill to take and thus one can conclude that he simply took the harmless pill and gave the poisonous one to the victim.

A serial killer kidnapped people and made them take one of two pills, one was harmless, and the other was poisonous. Whichever pill a victim took, the serial killer took the other one. Each time, the victims died and the serial killer survived.

Question. How did the killer always get the harmless pill?

he serial killer handed the poisonous one to the person. The text does not say that he gave them a choice of which pill to take and thus one can conclude that he simply took the harmless pill and gave the poisonous one to the victim. Alternatively, if a choice was given, he poisoned the water in which the victim swallowed the pill with as well and took an antidote to the poison prior or after swallowing his own pill.

Answer.

Both pills were harmless. The poison was in the glass of water the victims drank.

3. Beverages

A man and a woman went to a restaurant for dinner. While they were waiting for the main dish, she ordered 5 drinks with ice because it was very hot. The woman drank 4 of them all at once, while the man only drank one. After a while the man became ill and died. The doctors said that all the drinks were poisoned.

Question.

Why was the woman still alive when the man died? Read again carefully.

The poison was in the ice. Since the woman drank quickly, the ice in her drinks did not melt. Since the man drank slowly, his ice melted and he was poisoned.

Answer.

The poison was in the ice. Since the woman had her drinks quickly, the ice didn't have time to melt. The man drank slowly and the poison melted into his drink.

4. Cassette

Well first off who stoped the tape was it found still recording because according to my books the cassette player should of been on record or stop and recorded and the detective would have had to rewind the tape then press play no were did it talk about pressing stop and rewind then play just states the detective found a tape and pressed play that being said 90 percent of suicides don't leave a tape because they know no body cares and well. If they record on a casset tape they wouldn't be able to rewind it to the tape starting over if there dead u have to press stop recorded at the same time did the detective take finger prints of the casset player and did the detective consider that no casset recorder stops and rewinds bye it's self lol did he check for any other foot prints how is the casset player not covered in blood and the gun direction most people have a muscle twitch app on tramma from brain injury he would of had his finger muscle not just drop the gun he would still be holding the gun most likely not like it was a shot gun blood would be all over with gun in his hands he would of fell strait like a person cramps a body has movements mustles loose oxygen

Question.

Imagine a scene. A man was found dead, he has a pistol in his hand and a cassette recorder next to him. The detective pressed the "Play" button and listened the message, it said "I am tired of this life and decided to stop my pain and suffering" and then a shot follows. Somehow the detective doesn't believe that it was a suicide.

Why does the detective think that it was a murder?

Answer.

If the man killed himself, how could he rewind the cassette to the beginning?

5. Christmas mistery

The christmas tree is not plugged in. Not only that, there is no outlet in sight which means that the owner of the house had not even had time to set up an extension cord.

An detective was on duty during the Christmas holidays and on the morning of December 25th he went on a call. He rang the doorbell, and a minute later a sleepy house owner opened it. The detective said "Your neighbor says that yesterday, on Christmas Eve, he came to your place for a party and while he was here, you broke into his house and stole some valuable items."

The owner replied: "That's not true. Our family celebrated Christmas Eve at our friends place. We barely had time to decorate our Christmas tree."

The detective said: "No worries. It's quite obvious for me that your neighbor is a liar."

Question. How did the detective know?

The accused person was at a friend's for Christmas eve and had multiple people who can verify and none of the valuables were mentioned in a discription most people who steal would wait till after the people are gone and know what they got valuable. Why would u steal something if ur at there party in wich u were not having a party

Answer.

The Christmas tree lights are unplugged and actually missing one bulb, they wouldn't work without it. It was clear for the detective that the owner was telling the truth. He had decorated the tree in such a hurry that he didn't even check to see whether the lights were working or not.

No 2 says that one of the PILLS were poisonous. Not the water.

No 3. The man drank the ice water in the same time as the woman. Nothing in the text imply anything else. So either both or noone would be dead.

I can see some of these being correct but the tape being rewound isn't really a good clue. He could have just as easily rewound it himself before he shot himself or even listened to it again and rewound it beforehand.
