And you skill every day in five minutes. Hello and welcome to the Dotsadot Podcast. My name is Sean and today we're going to have a bit of a mental work-ape. I know, I don't like it either.
But we're going to do it anyway. This is a revisit to a skill we last looked at in episode 1115. That's 1155. I don't know why I said it in a weird way.
But Hasobu, this is my first time looking at the skill. It's time to enter the Riddle Arena. Open Riddle Arena. Okay, here's Riddle Arena.
Welcome. Do you want to riddle? For this question you are only allowed one guess. If you are running in a race and pass the person in second place, what position are you in?
First. That's not the expected answer. You pass the person in second place, not the first, you would then be second. Would you like another brain teaser?
Yes, I don't get- Okay. Rather and son get in a car crash and are rushed to the hospital. The father dies. The boy is taken to the operating room and the surgeon says, I can't operate on this boy, because he's my son.
How is this possible? Because she's his mother. Sexist. That's correct.
Would you like another riddle? Yes, something I haven't heard before. Sorry I didn't understand. Would you like to hear a riddle?
Yes. For this question you are only allowed one guess. Okay. A father and son have a joint age of 36.
The father is 30 years older than his son. How old is the son? Repeat. I need to think.
For this question you are only allowed one guess- Do you want to say six? A father and son have a joint age of 36. The father is 30 years older than his son. How old is the son?
36. Sorry, that's not the answer. The son is three years old and the father is 33 years old. Would you like another brain teaser?
What? Where does that work? Yes. Sorry I didn't understand.
Don't you know me? I didn't understand. No, I didn't understand. Help me.
Sorry I didn't understand. Would you like to hear a riddle? Yes. I would like to call it your mother.
This question you are only allowed one guess. In a lake there is a patch of lily pads. Every day the patch doubles in size. If it takes 30 days for the patch to cover the entire lake, how long would it take for the patch to cover half the lake?
15 days. Oh come on. It's not the expected answer. The patch doubles in size every day and so on the 29th day the patch will be half the size it is on the 30th day.
Oh yeah. Would you like another riddle? Yes. It's like QI.
A man stands on one side of a river. His dog on the other. The man calls his dog, who immediately crosses the river without getting wet and without using a bridge or a boat. How did the dog do it?
Jumped. Sorry. That's not the answer. Ask me for help if you are stuck.
Help. How did the dog do it? Help. You can always ask me to repeat the riddle.
If you are stuck you can ask me to tell you the answer or simply to pass. Tell me the answer. The riddle was frozen. It's like another brain teaser.
No. I hate this. Sorry I didn't understand. I didn't I hate you riddle.
No. Stop. Oh you have stopped. Oh okay.
So not only are you torturing me, you're also very rude. That was riddle arena. I hated it. But then again you might not.
So give it a go. Thanks guys. See you next time.
