A Book.
The Hidden Traveler Riddle
I have traveled thousands of miles but never moved.
I have told the stories of the world but have no voice.
What am I?
I have traveled thousands of miles but never moved.
I have told the stories of the world but have no voice.
What am I?
A Book.
I can be written, spoken, broken, and made,
Yet I weigh nothing but shape every trade.
What am I?
👉 A Promise.
The more you remove me, the more I grow,
Yet when you add to me, I shrink below.
What am I?
👉 A Hole.
A word I know, six letters it contains,
Remove one letter and twelve remains.
What am I?
👉 The word is “Dozens”.
Divide the 12 coins into three groups:
Weigh Group A against Group B.
👉 You can always find the counterfeit coin and determine if it’s heavier or lighter in exactly 3 weighings.
You have 12 coins, but one is counterfeit and is either heavier or lighter than the rest.
You also have a balance scale and can only use it three times.
How do you find the counterfeit coin and determine whether it is heavier or lighter?
A man drives one mile at 30 mph.
How fast must he drive the second mile to average 60 mph for the total two-mile trip?
👉 It’s impossible.
To average 60 mph over 2 miles, he must complete the trip in 2 minutes (since 2 miles ÷ 60 mph = 2 minutes).
Even if he drove infinitely fast, he still wouldn’t reach the required average speed.
What comes once in a second, twice in a decade, but never in a century?
The letter “D”.
A man is running away from home.
What is he doing?

A man lives on the 10th floor of an apartment building.
Every morning, he takes the elevator down to the ground floor to go to work.
However, when he comes home, he only takes the elevator up to the 7th floor and walks the rest of the way to the 10th floor.
Why does he do this?
The man is a small and can only reach the 7th-floor button in the elevator.
A king gives you two jars and 100 marbles—50 white and 50 black. He will randomly select one jar, then pick one marble from it.
How should you distribute the marbles to maximize your survival?
Put 1 white marble in one jar and the remaining 99 marbles (49 white + 50 black) in the other jar.
50% × 100% + 50% × 49.49% = 50% + 24.75% = 74.75%
✅ This setup gives you a 74.75% chance of survival, the highest possible.
