Logical Puzzle 1
ANSWER
Option C
Based on the positioning of the children, you could assume that the kidnapper is C as option A has
somebody walking with a child at the same pace and isn’t wearing a cap which would give the
kidnapper something to hide some of their features and option B wouldn’t be it because they seem
closer indicating they could be familiar with each other and the person is holding something that
could be another cap or a bag which more than likely could be the child’s.
I think it’s option C because the person is looking away and is kinda dragging the kid along with
them because they are further apart and the kid is a bit hesitant.
You can see that as a kidnapper looking for any sign that anybody is watching and a child who is
kinda distrustful of the adult.

Logical Puzzle 2
ANSWER
A man named Tom went hiking with his friend Chris
on a Sunday after notifying his brother Dan. The next
Saturday the police finds Tom dead in the woods. Dan
said that he had been working all week. Chris was
found wandering around the highway. He said that
he got lost in the woods right after they arrived and
just found his way home. Look at the picture and
guess who’s lying.
Chris is lying, how
can he be so well-
shaven after being
alone in the woods
for a week?

Logical Puzzle 3
ANSWER
An old man dies, leaving behind two
sons. In his will, he orders his sons to
race with their horses, and the one
with the slower horse will receive his
inheritance. The two sons race, but
since they’re both holding their
horses back, they go to a wise man
and ask him what they should do.
After that, the brothers race again —
this time at full speed.
What did the wise man tell them?
