6
56040
8520
01:04
28 days I don't need more time there is  only one month with 28 days and that is
7
64560
9920
01:14
February well that's not correct  because all 12 months have 28
8
74480
10360
01:24
days while February is the only month mon  with exactly 28 days in a common year every  
9
84840
9160
01:34
month has at least 28 days oh damn I didn't  realize that was a tricky question next one  
10
94000
12840
01:46
well this question is designed to  make you think about the wording
11
106840
5400
01:52
carefully and realize that every  month meets this basic Criterion next
12
112240

02:03
question it says what can you catch but not
13
123240
8840
02:12
throw what can you catch but not throw no I don't
14
132080
10240
02:22
know you can catch a coal but not throw it this  question plays on the double meaning of the word  
15
142320
9960
02:32
cat in this context cat refers to Contracting  an illness rather than physically catching and  
16
152280
10040
02:42
throwing an object next question imagine you are  in a room with no doors and windows how do you get
17
162320

19
180160
10200
03:10
out um how can I get out I will  have to make a hole to get out  
20
190360
12840
03:23
wrong the answer is you will stop imagining
21
203200
6920
03:30
yeah the question asks you to imagine  a scenario so the solution is simply  
22
210120
8320
03:38
to stop imagining it this question test your  ability to recognize when something is purely
23
218440
8960
03:47
hypothetical that was difficult I  didn't imagine next question please
24
227400
12320
04:01
what comes once in a minute twice  in a moment but never in a thousand  
25
241840
6280
04:08

26
248120

27
258000

32
306040
9160
05:15
ring no it's a piano a piano has keys but  can't open locks this question uses the word  
33
315200
11360
05:26
keys in a different context referring to the  keys on a piano instead of keys that up and
34
326560
7880
05:34
locks it requires understanding  the multiple meaning of words next
35
334440
8840
05:43
