This is neither a brainteaser or logic puzzle in the traditional sense but I’m completely flummoxed…
We recently bought a new house and installed all of the usual kitchen appliances including a tumble dryer and dishwasher. The house seemed to have its fair share of cockroaches etc. so we decided to fumigate the house over a weekend with those Doom cannisters that are supposed to clear out a room.
It was largely successful – when we came back into the house on the Sunday there wasn’t a roach to be seen…. that is until I opened the dishwasher and it appears they have somehow taken refuge inside the machine. I had done a test run of the machine assuming this would clear out these things but it doesn’t seem to have had the desired effect.
How is this possible?

A man is climbing a mountain that’s 400m high. In the 1st hour, he makes it half way up. As he gets tired, each hour after that he only manages half the distance he did in the previous hour.
How long does it take him to reach the top?

You’re in a mansion and the power’s out. You see a green door and a red door. Pick one (it doesn’t matter which.) Now you see a purple door and a orange door. Pick one (again, it doesn’t matter which you pick). Now you see a door with a golden handle and a door with a silver handle. Pick one. You finally come to some signs on three doors. One says “Death from drowning,” another says “Death from machine guns,” and the last one says “Death from electric chair.” Then you see a big sign off to the side that says “Or stay in the mansion and starve to death.” What do you choose and still live?

In the old days we used to have quite an active brainteaser and quiz community on this blog prior to the infamous data crash.
It used to be quite interesting because we had people submitting:
- Word puzzles
- Logic puzzles
- Trivia
- Lyrics
- Brainteasers
For Bundublog.com this was really useful because it created quite a lot of interactivity on the blogs and helped community members build relationships. At one stage we even had people suggesting puzzles and offering prizes for people who could get them right.
We’d like to get this going again so here is our shout out to the Bundublog community – we need your input to get this section running again. If you know of any brainteasers or puzzles please e-mail them to marc@rivalmoney.co.za and we’ll see if we can get them up on the blog and get the community buzzing again.
Look forward to hearing from you all.

Here are three riddles to keep your brains ticking over on this Sunday. Any takers?
1. How can you leave a room with two legs and return with six legs?
2. If 5 cats catch 5 mice in 5 minutes, how long will it take one cat to catch a mouse?
3. What can be measured but has no length, width or thickness?
They should all be pretty easy but it always helps to exercise the brain!

Mailed in from one of our community members:
During the age of the medieval empires, when knights and barbarians fought against each others, a man was captured and sentenced to death for allegedly befriending barbarians. The king, however, wanted to give him another chance. The king ordered him to his presence and ask him to choose one of the three knights present. One of the knights is the Knight of Life, and he always tells the truth. The second Knight is the Knight of Death, and he always tells lies. The third knight is the Knight of the Dungeon. He sometimes lies and sometimes tells the truth. If the man chooses the Knight of Death, he is to be executed before sunset. If he chooses the Knight of Life, he would be acquitted and set free right away. If he chooses the Knight of the Dungeon, he would spend the rest of his life imprisoned in the Dungeon. This is the first time the man ever saw these knights and could not recognize them. However, the man is allowed to ask these three knights one question each. Thus, the man asked the red hair knight, “What is the name of this blond hair knight?” The reply was “He is the Knight of the Life.” He asked the black hair knight, “What is the name of this blond hair knight?” The reply was “He is the Knight of Death.” Then he asked the blond hair knight “Who are you?” “I am the Knight of the Dungeon” was the reply. Luckily, the man was able to correctly choose the Knight of Life, and was set free immediately. Can you identify who was the Knight of Life, and also who the other two knights were?
