Weekly Brainteaser (all grades):

Two brainteasers this week. You can complete one or both:

1.
Mr. Black, Mr. Brown, and Mr. White were having
a conversation.

"It's funny," said Mr. Black to the other two
men, "that we are all wearing different colors,
but none of us is wearing the color that is the
same as his name."

"True," agreed the man who was wearing white.

Use the information in this conversation to
give the correct last name of the man wearing
each color.

2.

  1. The bone is under the rock.
  2. The bone is in the garden or under the tree.
