Children's questions for logic. The most difficult riddles for logic, with a trick. For the whole family

https: //site/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/3-7.jpg

To keep the mind sharp, it needs training. And for this, tricky tasks will always come to the rescue. We have prepared for you 10 Soviet riddles of varying difficulty: some are quite simple, some are more difficult, and some will have to seriously break your brain. All tasks will be in pictures and will require attentiveness and logic from you. These puzzles come straight from the USSR, but they still have not lost their relevance and intricacy. Put everything aside: your brain is now fully recharged.

1. Let's start with a warm-up, it's easy. So take a look at the picture

The guys went out into the forest to go ice skating and skiing. A hare jumped out to meet them, crouched in fright and rushed on. The guys chased after him, but lost sight of him. And the hare didn’t run anywhere, it’s still in the picture. Will you find it?

Yes, there he is! Between a boy and a girl

2. Now more difficult. Meeting on the street

We met on the street 2 friends:
- Hello, Styopa. Where are you going?
- I'm going to house number 23, - says Styopa. - Where are you going, Petya?
- And I - to my friend Vanyusha. He lives in house number 7, - Petya answers.
Now tell me: which of them is called Styopa, and who is Petya.

Styopa is a boy in a cap. Why? Pay attention to the house number - 19. If you walk from the first house on the street, then the houses with odd numbers will be on the left side, the boy in the cap moves towards the houses with large numbers, 23 is more than 19, which means this is Styopa.

3. Whose Murzik?

There are three girlfriends in the picture: Ira, Tanya and Galya. The cat Murzik is with them. But whose is it? Who is Murzik's mistress?

Murzik belongs to Gala, a girl with one bow. She gave the second one to Murzik.

4. Names of children

There are five guys in the picture. One of them is called Kolya, and he stands on the edge. If Nyura stood next to Volodya, then Petya would be next to his namesake. Who is standing where?

So, in order: Kolya, Volodya, Petya, Nyura, Petya.

5. Riddle about watering cans

The boys went with watering cans to fetch water to water the garden. Which one will bring more water?

Despite the fact that one of the boys has a larger watering can, their noses are located at the same level, above which the water in the watering can does not rise (remember physics and the law on communicating vessels). So they will bring the same amount of water.

6. Where is the train going?

In the picture you can see a section of the Moscow-Smolensk railway. Here the direction of the road coincides with the direction of the arrow shown above, with the ends of the arrow pointing west and east. Everything happens at the beginning of April. Where does the train go: from Moscow to Smolensk or back?

The snow has not melted yet, it lies on the northern slope, which means the train is moving from east to west. It turns out that from Moscow to Smolensk.

7. Now let's look for errors and inaccuracies in the picture.

The artist drew a street, but here's the problem: he made 5 mistakes in the picture. Can you find it?

  1. The trolleybus is missing one boom.
  2. The traffic light has 2 lights, but it should have 3.

  7. Shura catches butterflies with a butterfly net.
  8. Kolya. He rummages in a backpack with the letter "K", Vasya is photographing something (a tripod is visible in the backpack with the letter "B"), Shura is catching butterflies, which means that Petya is on duty today. And yesterday Kolya (looking at the duty schedule).

  3. Early in the morning, people rush to work, shadows fall to the northwest.
  4. There are buoys (buoys-like devices) on the river, which means the river is navigable.
