David's Detention
Trick
Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.Trick
A young boy went to school one day. When he got to math class, he realized that he had a test that he didn't study for. Thinking about what to do, he decided to cheat. About half way through the test, the teacher was looking at the class to make sure no one was cheating. She looked over and saw that David was. She gave David a detention and a zero on the test. Even though David was caught cheating, the young boy still turned in a test (which got a good grade) and never got a detention. How can this be?
Answer
Two people were cheating. Even though David got the detention, this young boy didn't. This boy's name is not David, and he did not get caught cheating.Hide Answer Show Answer
