Chinese Noodles
Trick
Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.Trick

5 minutes later, he beat the challenge and won that $1,000.
How did he do it?

I thought he used his feet or taped the chopsticks to his arms.
Wow. I was way off. I was thinking telekinesis.

I thought he used his feet LOL.
I thought he just used one hand for the chopsticks, therefore not using his handS...
That was a good one!
i got it after the hint. it gave it away. but nice job!!!
that was too easy
the comment is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too obvious... but good teaser
way too easy, but I liked it
Fun, but easy, almost too easy.
I didn't really get that "slap your head" feeling, but still good, I guess

cool. easy. but that's ok.
The answer contradicts the teaser, which actually says HE has to use the chopsticks, not somebody else...

easy but fun

awesome. i love these. u really don't have to think that much.
I had a different answer. I thought that he could have used the chopsticks to scoop the noodles into his mouth. Very clever.
I thought it was good and clever, I wish I could get 1,000 dollars 4 doing that!
i agree with crystalblade...
the way the teaser is worded, the man had to use the chopsticks HIMSELF...
in which case, he would have lost the bet.

The hint gave it away but good teaser
I like it!
nice teaser short n fun
Didn't the teaser say that he had to use chopsticks? So shouldn't the answer explain how he used chosticks?
How 'bout if the chopsticks were bread chopsticks and stuck his head into the bowl and ate the chopsticks with the noodles?????
I got it The hint helped me though
Ahem!!"He also had to use chopsticks..."doesn't mean that he has to use chopsticks to feed himself..Use has many contexts and this context was far more different..In this case the man used the chopsticks by giving it to someone who could feed him with it..get it?
BTW THE TEASER NEVE SAiD HE DiDN'T KNOW HOW TO USE THEM. iT JUST SAiD HE HAD TO USE THEM. i THOUGT iT WAS MAyBE COMPLiCATED TO EAT NOODLES WiTH CHOPSTICKS SO HE SCRAPED THEM OFF OF THE PLATE iNTO HiS MOUTH USiNG THE CHOPSTICKS. ANyWAyZ THiS WAS A NiCE TEASER EVEN THOUGHT i GOT iT WRONG LoLZ.
I got it so easily after the hint
I thought that the answer would've been:
1. He uses the chopsticks with his hands and eats it, technically he's not using his hands to eat.
2. what about using his feet?
