She tries to open it with her teeth, but it doesn't work. She tries running it under warm water, but it still won't open. Then she has an idea. Two minutes later, she has it open.

Thats very funny
where is the puzzle in that?
I agree, there's no real trick to it......
That's the trick ;)
I don't get why that is a puzzle...
The trick, i believe is supposed to be that you skim over the "her brother is in the house with her" part and ASSUME that there is a more complicated trick in it. so it IS a trick. i like this one.
Good one!
- I personally thought it was dumb -
keep trying, you get SoMeThInG

It was a good trick, but I expected something more from that...
eh.....
don't listen to him, supermew. i've told him before that he needs help.
y could the brother open it if she couldntit doesnt make any sense!!
This puzzle is cool but I don't think that MY bro. would open a bottle 4 me anywayz. And hurifend, shut ur mouth.
Clever!
hurrifend:
dont be so negative all the time. you look like a real idiot posting stuff where all you can say is "that was stupid." ive noticed that the only owns youve been able to respond to are the ones under the "easiest" category. shows how smart you are.

I thought that maybe she found a bottle opener.

It is SEXIST to assume that a male can open a bottle that a female cannot! Nah, I'm just kiddin! Loved it! Thought it was funny! (Although I am not! )
See, I say the girl is about...5 or 6 years old, and the brother (who is really hott and currently dating me.) is 14 years old, therefore stronger and can open the bottle for his sister.
BANG BANG BANG! Bang the bottle with a hammer and it breaks, but it's still open isn't it?
How bout' if he can't open it?
the word "scissors" comes to mind (as in cut the top of the bottle off)
though for a while there i wondered whether the thing that the girl couldn't open was the refrigerator door (that good old ambigious "it") - wasn't sure what solution i was going to come up with for that one though

How about trying to untwist the bottle cap. At no point does it say that she tries to unscrew it.
I thought the trick was that she couldn't open the REFRIGERATOR and she was opening it at the wrong end. So I give it this *Yawn*
Who lets this insanity be posted? Walk away from the computer, you've done enough damage.
not good.
Mean little girl! I for one value sleep! Just kidding. I liked it. It is not sexist though, because it could be that her brother was older, and therefor had bigger hands. But why Pink lemonade from a bottle?
It IS sexist because if the girl is really little, her parents are CRAZY to leave her at home alone with an older sleeping brother. I hate this one, and I don't say this too often. There's no thinking involved in this. Nice try. How much did you REALLY want those 50 points?
So her brother can just open it like that? Why?This teaser makes absolutely no sense.
