Okay, it is time for the new (old) puzzler. The one for kids 12 and under. Remember this?
This one is from last week. We gave the kiddos an extra week to figure it out. The kids went back to school this month, so they need a little more time.
And we need a little more time to come up with the next one!
Okay, here it is again. For the young and the young at heart. Here's the question. It's very simple.
What is it that you can see that you can put in a barrel that will make it lighter? To make it weigh less?
This is something you can put in the barrel and it will weigh less. Something you can see. So it's not like helium gas or white paint. That would make it whiter. That isn't what we mean. The answer is something that would make it weigh less.
What is it? We have been scratching the old noodle for about a week now over here. And remember, to answer this puzzler, you must be either 12 years old or younger, or you must have been accused by your spouse of acting like a 12 year old at least twice in the last week...
Good luck.
Okay, last week's puzzler, and the week before actually... Our special 12 and under question. And then we stipulated that anyone who acts like he or she is 12 or under could participate. And anyone with an IQ of 12.
Answer time.
Here it is. What is it that you can put in a barrel, and it's something you could see, that makes it weigh less?
And the answer is, a hole. You can put a hole in a barrel and then it will weigh less!
