10. You are sitting in a boat that floats in a pool. There is a heavy cast iron anchor in the boat, not tied to the boat. What happens to the water level in the pool if you drop an anchor into the water?
The water level will drop. While the anchor is in the boat, it displaces a volume of water weighing the same as the anchor, its own weight and the weight of the cargo. If an anchor is thrown overboard, it will only displace a volume of water equal to the volume of the anchor, and not its weight, i.e. less, since the density of the anchor is greater than that of water.
11. A father and two sons went on a hike. On their way they met a river, near the bank of which there was a raft. It can support either a father or two sons on the water. How can father and sons cross to the other side?

12. A steel ladder was lowered from the side of the ship. The bottom 4 steps of the ladder are submerged in water. Each step is 5 cm thick; the distance between two adjacent steps is 30 cm. The tide began, at which the water level began to rise at a speed of 40 cm per hour. How many steps do you think will be under water after 2 hours?
Of course, parents don’t always want to bother their precious child and come up with the most complicated riddles for him. Nevertheless, such questions, the answer to which you need to think about, are useful and necessary for children and adults, regardless of age.
Why ask your child complex riddles?
Moms and dads may wonder whether it is worth misleading their child and including difficult tasks in the program. However, having studied the information about how productive the most difficult riddles are for children different ages, parents will immediately change their previous opinion. Logic and trick riddles are needed for the following reasons:
These are just some of the factors that indicate that children definitely need difficult questions, to which we need to find answers. This will help you develop fully and be literate.
What should riddles be like?
It is clear that complex riddles are somewhat different from simple logical questions. You should think through a program of developmental classes with such tasks in advance so that the process goes smoothly and without hitches. The most difficult riddles should be:
- With a catch.
- Ambiguous.
- Those that are worth thinking about the answer to.
- Complex riddles should be selected according to the child’s age. This will help boys and girls find answers according to their level of knowledge. It follows that children should not ask very complex riddles; for the little ones it is better to choose trick questions. For older children, you can choose the same questions as for adults.
It is worth considering the above factors when choosing logical questions for your child.
Logic riddles for little ones

Complex riddles with a trick for schoolchildren
School-age children may find it even more difficult to select questions. Very complex ones can be as follows:
You're at a running competition. When you overtook the last one running, what did you become?
(This cannot happen, because the last runner cannot be overtaken, because he is the last and there cannot be anyone else behind him)
Three car owners had a brother, Alyosha. But Alyosha didn’t have a single brother, how is this possible?

Adult riddles with a trick
Sometimes adults are like children. Therefore, they will also like very complex riddles. People over school age can be asked the following logical questions:
A tram with five passengers is traveling. At the first stop, two passengers got off and four got on. At the next stop, no one got off; ten passengers got on. At another station, five passengers entered and one exited. On the next one, seven people came out and eight people entered. When there was another stop, five people got off and no one got on. How many stops did the tram have?
(The answer to this riddle is not so important. The point is that all participants will most likely count the number of passengers and it is unlikely that anyone will decide to count the stops)

The third prisoner escaped normally and was never seen again. What's wrong with this story?
(There are no sharks in the river; they couldn’t drag the prisoner by the hair because they shave his head)
Adult participants of the event will enjoy such riddles.
How to motivate a child to participate in educational activities
It is clear that children definitely need motivation in order for their participation in the game to be exciting and desirable. It is enough to simply promise the child some kind of gift and, of course, present it at the end of the game.
The child’s logic must work! Do not take precedence over creative activity, but be in harmony and balance with it. Therefore, like Creative skills, the ability to think logically needs to be developed in children.
And those logical riddles with answers that we have collected for you on this page, we hope, will help you with this. Some of these riddles are very simple, they are for fun or for very little ones. And others are more complicated. Although, of course, not as difficult as for adult children. But the kids will still have no way of coping with them without your help and without answers. Help them, don't be too serious! 🙂

These are so interesting logic riddles for children. We hope you liked it. But in general, our collection is a feast for the eyes! Check it out for yourself, you won’t regret it!
For every person the most complex riddle its. The one he struggled with for many hours or even days. But in the end I figured it out and found the answer on my own. He will definitely never forget the solution.
But still, among those ever invented, there are those that can confidently be classified as the most intricate. We will talk about them.
First group of riddles: for children
Don't think that any adult can handle them easily. Even not the most difficult riddle in the world can seriously puzzle you. Moreover, there will be a big embarrassment if a child can cope with it, but an adult will find it too tough.
- Life gives this as a gift twice. You have to pay for the third set. (Teeth.)
- A birch tree grew in the garden. There were 45 apples hanging on it. The wind blew and 9 of them fell. How many apples are left on it? (Not at all, because apples don’t grow on birch trees.) Note. Although if you come across a person with creative thinking, he can say that nowhere is it said that apples actually grew on the tree. They just hung there. And it is unknown how they were secured, that’s why they fell.
The list of tasks that can be described as “the most difficult riddle” continues.
- During the race, the athlete overtook the one who was in second position. Where did he end up? (On the second, because he didn’t catch up with the first.)
- The same athlete in another competition overtook the one who was last. What place did he get? (It is impossible to overtake the last one; if someone was ahead of him, then he was not the last.)
- This thing is thrown away if it is needed. And when it turns out to be unnecessary, they raise it. What is this? (Sea anchor.)
The second group of riddles: for those who like to count
These tasks will require some math and some reasoning. And then any of the most difficult riddles in the world can be solved.
- A specialist is invited to a well-known company for the position of financial analyst. He is offered a starting salary of 10 thousand per month. It can be increased according to two schemes. The first promises an increase of 15 thousand per year. The second guarantees an increase of 5 thousand in six months. Which option will be more profitable? (Second.) Note. You will need to calculate your salary for an arbitrary number of years. Even the first two will be enough. In both cases, the annual salary is the same - 120 thousand. Increase plan for the first scenario: 120 thousand, 135 thousand and so on. The second scenario will give the following breakdown: 60 for the first six months and 65 for the second part of the year, resulting in 125 thousand for the 1st year. Second year: 70 and 75, which will give 145 thousand per year.
- There is a heavy anchor at the bottom of the boat. She floats on the surface of the water in the pool. What will happen to the water level if the untied anchor is thrown out of the boat? (Will go down.) Note. While the anchor lies in the boat, the part of it immersed in water is much larger than the volume of the anchor itself.
- How to collect 4 liters of water if only containers of 5 and 3 are available? (Fill 5, pour into 3, empty the second, pour the remaining 2 from the first into it, fill with 5 again, pour 1 liter from it into the three-liter.)
The third group of riddles: to reason
A creative approach is impossible without thinking carefully and moving away from the standards into which society has driven people. Therefore, the most complex logic riddles turn out to be simple after the answer is found.
- In a large room there is a partition behind which there are three light bulbs. Moreover, they are not visible from the remote control with three switches. It is required to determine which one is from each light bulb. You can only enter the partition once. The solution requires two steps. The first is to turn on one light bulb and turn it off after a few minutes. During this time it will have time to warm up. The second action is to turn on the second light bulb. Now you can take a look. The one that is hot is the first. The other one glows - the second one. And the third is the one that was not touched at all.
- One hotel has seven floors. The first one accommodated 4 guests. On each subsequent floor their number increases by 3. On which floor is the elevator button pressed most often? (On the first.)
- One person only has one match left in the box. He enters a room in which there is a kerosene lamp on the fireplace and a gas stove. What will a person light first? (Match.)
And this is perhaps the most difficult logic riddle.
You need to bake 6 pies. They need to be fried on each side for 5 minutes. Only 4 pies can be placed on the frying pan at a time. How can you fry them in 15 minutes?
The solution consists of the following moves:
- put 4 pies for 5 minutes;
- Turn 2 over, remove the others, put two more not yet fried for another 5 minutes;
- 2 remove (they are already ready), 2 turn over and put those that were previously removed for the remaining 5 minutes.
The fourth group of riddles: ingenuity
They require intelligence. A savvy person will easily solve all the most complex logical riddles.
- The girl took the ring out of the coffee cup. Why didn't the ring get wet? (Coffee powder, granules or beans.)
- One businessman bought apples for 6 rubles, and sold them for 4. How did he manage to become a millionaire? (Before this action, he was a billionaire.)
- The steamer moored to the pier, and the 4 lower steps were in the water. Thickness and height of the steps: 5 and 30 cm. While the ship was at the pier, the tide began, and the water rose by 40 cm every hour. How many steps will be under water 3 hours after the tide starts? (Still 4, the steamer will rise with the water.)
Fifth group of riddles: with a catch
Logic and the ability to count well will not always help in solving such problems. These most difficult riddles have a catch. That is, those in which you need to look for something unusual.
- There are three tractor drivers working on the collective farm, who have a brother, Sergei. But he has no brothers. How can this be? (They are sisters.)
- There were 10 candles burning on the candlestick. The owner blew out 3 of them. How many candles will be left by morning? (3: those that are blown out will not burn.)
- It's 12 o'clock at night. It is raining outside. How confident can you be that the sun will be shining in 72 hours? (Not at all, it will be night again.)
- In what situation is it easier for a black cat to enter the house? (When the door is open.)
And a few more mysteries
- It is impossible to hold it for more than 5-10 minutes. But at the same time it weighs almost nothing (Breathing.)
- There were so many apples on the plate that there were enough for all the children. How did it happen that all the guys took one, but there was only one left on the plate? (The latter took it along with the plate.)
And here is the most difficult riddle, which has two solutions.
The patient needs to leave for 30 days. The doctor gives him two medications, 30 tablets each. They cannot be distinguished by color, taste, smell, shape or size. The course of treatment cannot be interrupted. Every day you need to take one tablet of each drug. One day a person took 1 tablet out of the first package, and 2 fell out of the second. They got mixed up. How can a patient follow the doctor’s recommendations?
1. Take another tablet from the first one. Cut everything in half and put all the left halves in one direction, and the right halves in the other. It will turn out that there will be one of each type in each pile.
2. Again, take another tablet. Grind everything into powder and divide into two equal parts.
