Brain Teasers

Hi Folks,

Here's some questions for you to try and figure you. They are so simple that they are hard. I do it with students at school when we have free time in class.
Good Luck : )

1. What 8 letter word has 1 letter in it?

2. 12 + 12 = 24 but can 12 + 12 = 12 and all you do is add there are no
negative numbers.

Wishing all of you well and May God Bless You!

Hi Nakamova,

Take my word 12 + 12 is very easy and it made me mad when I found out
the answer. Here's a hint: We look at this everyday at work and at home especially on Friday's. Good Luck and May God Bless You!

Ah! Would it be a clock?

 

[Howll]

If it was 12pm and you added 12 hours, it'd be 12am. Hence 12+12=12?

 

[Porkette]

Hi Howll,

You are correct it's time : ) If it's 12 am and your add 12 hrs. it's 12 pm so 12+12=12
May God Bless You!
