Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.Trick
A woman boarded a plane for a very long trip, and didn't know the man sitting next to her, who was very irritating.
After an hour of constant blabbering on the man's part, he told the woman, "I'm very very rich. In fact, I'm one of the richest men in the world. I'll make you a deal. You can ask me a question, and if I can't answer it, I'll give you a million dollars. Then I'll ask you a question, and if you can't get it, all you have to give me is one dollar."
The woman sighed, "If I agree, will you be quiet?"
"Yes," said the man.
"OK. What is green and orange, has a heart that never beats, swims in shark infested waters, has a tongue but can't taste, and has fourteen brothers and a large house?"
The man was silent for many hours, and as they were leaving the plane, he handed her a check for a million dollars.
She thanked him and began to walk away.
"Well," said the man before she walked away, "What was the answer?"
What did the woman say?
