Brain Teasers

games 1 Comment

Some simple brain teasers, how long will it take you to get the answer? I had to read these a few times to get them, OK, I don’t feel that smart.

I have no head, and a tail I lack,

But oft have arms, and legs, and a back;

I inhabit the palace, the tavern, the cot-

‘Tis a beggarly residence where I am not.

If a monarch were present (I tell you no fable),

I still should be placed at the head of the table.

What am I?

Here is another

Two children went to town to sell their eggs, one had more in her basket than the other; the one who had the most said to the other, “Give me one of your eggs, and then I shall have double the number you have.”-”No”, said the other; “give me one of yours, and then we shall have equal”.

How many eggs had each of these children?

 

I gotta say I felt really silly for even having to think about the first but I guess the answer is a chair… right? As for the eggs, I girl had to have 3 and the other 5. I think… hmmmm

games, kids, kids games No Comments

I made this game / page and am very proud of it. It’s a virtual trip to a beach that you cam manipulate with people, animals, sand and even rubber duckies. I picked all these beach pictures and put them into a page to allow other kids… and grown-ups to create their own beach scenes and pictures. Basically, what you do is open the picture/doll maker and select a background for the beach if you want, then you double-click on the props, animals, people and other things to move them into the scene you are creating.

After the characters and beach items are in your picture, you can play around with the positioning of the characters and items by moving them around using the mouse. When finished playing the game, the entire beach trip may be saved.

Optical Illusion

Stare at the picture below. Concentrate really hard on the small black plus sign in the middle of the picure. Keep staring until all you can really see is the black plus and the moving dots seem to be in the background.

After a few seconds, the pink dots moving around the sides of the picture will begin to disappear one at a time in order! pretty cool!
