The Locket
It was Jodie's birthday, and she received a gorgeous golden locket from her mum. She couldn't wait to show all her friends, but she couldn't decide whose picture to put in it. She knew that if she put one friend's picture in it, the others would be upset. So she made a way that whichever of her friends looked at it would see a picture of themselves, so no one would get upset. How did she do it when the locket could only hold one picture?
Answer
Instead of putting a picture in it, she put a mirror in, so whichever of her friends looked at it, they would see their reflection.Hide Answer Show Answer

Thought she changed the picture according to the friend she was showing it to. VERY CLEVER!
Loved this one, I actually guessed either putting a mirror , or a picture of her mom. Thanks, pretty cool
AWESOME ONE JODIE!!! Keep up the good work!
I got the mirror, but she should have put her mom in it
I said she put in a group picture of her friends. You didn't say that they would see a picture of only themselves, so technically they could see a picture with other people in it too.
i got mirror, but she should have put a picture of her mom because her mom gave it to her
Yea, her mom's picture would work too. But it was still a good teaser.
what is teh average age of these commentors?
Nice one, very easy though.
Would've thought this should be under "trick" (although it was kinda obvious).
simple, but it took me a couple of minutes to get my noodle in gear
Okay, I don't mean to be rude, but how in the world would the picture of her mom work? (This is dirrected to those of you who said it would on the comments page.) It CLEARLY said that when a friend looked into her locket, they saw themselves. Are you suggesting that her only friend was her mom, or were you just not paying attention?
it said she could on put a picture in it so how would putting a mirror work ... it doesnt
Great teaser Jodie!
a mirror is not the same as a picture!
Awesome j0diee
