Let's start with a logic puzzle! Which square fits in the last grid?
Let's use the practice we got in the last puzzle to settle a debate. Can you find the answer to this puzzle that recently went viral?
What common word or phrase is depicted in the image below?
@DarkWolf last / final straw
This one might be challenging, but let's see if someone can find the answer 💡
Which day is three days before the day immediately following the day two days before the day three days after the day immediately before Friday?
@DarkWolf
Husband thinks it is Tuesday.
@lazyKatz
Close, but try again🤔
This one might be a little difficult, but let's see. 💡
@DarkWolf
Horizontal & Vertical = 45 degree (Pythagorean )
next
Horizontal & Vertical = 45 degree (Pythagorean ) [Cancels]
(Reversed) Horizontal & Vertical = (A) plus (Standard) 45 standard vertical
[Talking it out] Which would relate to either (B) or (D)
My Guess D
There are 3 wooden crates. One labeled "Apples." One labeled " Oranges." One labeled "Apples & Oranges." They are all labeled incorrectly. You can reach into one crate, and pull out one fruit, and by doing so, you need to correct all labels. How can it be done?
@DarkWolf
Taking a fruit from the apple an orange box whatever comes out-say Apple will make that box the all apple box. The remaining boxes are since the all apple box has been identified then the apple box is incorrectly labelled an should be all orange and the all orange box must be the apple and orange box. Husband's answer by the way
@lazyKatz
You've got it!
We know all of the crates are incorrectly labeled, which is the key to answering this one. We take one out of the mixed crate first, because we can be sure there's only 1 type inside of it. Let's say we take one apple out, that means there's exclusively apples in that crate.
The crate labeled ''oranges'' now has to be a mix of apples and oranges, because it's incorrectly labeled and the label ''apples'' has already been taken.
This leaves the crate labeled ''apples'' as having oranges inside.
Out seems to fit
@lazyKatz What does 'outfox' mean?
@cloudySummer
It means to outwit or get the better of someone.
@lazyKatz @CloudySummer
A foxes are 'sly', cunning, or sneaky animals. So to out sneak them would be to out do or 'Out Fox'
