International Brainteaser Month- January 2024

This is a seldom-known but quite fascinating month. I’ll share some brain teasers for you to use with your friends to tease their brains!

Brainteasers:

1. He who builds me doesn’t want me,
   He who buys me doesn’t use me,
   He that uses me doesn’t know he’s got me.
2. I’m in you,
   But not in him, I go up,
   But not down,
   I’m in the Colosseum,
   But not a tower,
   I’m in a puzzle,
   But not a riddle.
3. “First think of the person who lives in disguise,
   Who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies,
   Next tell me what’s always the last thing to mend,
   The middle of middle and end of the end?
   And finally give me the sound often heard,
   During the search for a hard-to-find word.
   Now string them together, and answer me this,
   Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss?” – Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
4. What has ears but can’t hear?
5. Two mothers and two daughters went out to eat, everyone ate one burger, yet only three burgers were eaten. How is this possible?
