Brain Teasers
Taxi Ride
Trick
Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.Trick
A taxi driver was called to take a group of passengers to the train station. The station is normally an hour away, but with traffic being extra heavy, it took a full hour and a half. On the return trip the traffic was still as heavy and yet it took only 90 minutes. Why?
Answer
There is no difference. An hour and a half is the same as 90 minutes.Hide Answer Show Answer

It was confusing because you asked why the weight was different and it was the same.
Funny
kreed, he didnt "ask' about the weight of anything he said that TRAFFIC WAS EXTRA HEAVY not what was the weight of the traffic etc. check the teaser before you make a complaint, by the way nice teaser, i got it but i'd like to see more from you!

I don't like taxis. you should have made it about a rocket ship. wheeeeeeee! i like rockets!!!!!!!
Aww, I thought it was cute.
Good job, but try to think up something harder next time.
ez
oh wow no comment
Man! Why can't people stop trashing on other people just because they have an easy teaser?? Go to the teasers, search for the hardest ones, and do those happily! Or look at how hard it is before reading it! I enjoyed it, though!
Its not even a teaser !! its just TOO EASY !!
I agree... it's not a teaser, it's a simple question that requires minimal thought. Try again.
I'm not sure what's with all the offensive comments but i loved this teaser.
Swaff, all three are the same.
soooo easy. Great job though. You seem to be very good at making these. Keep making teasers!!!!!
I liked this teaser a lot!GOoD JOB!!!!!!!
tricky...
mine are like this, i wish there was a way i could delete them, so immature back then
anyone who didn't get that within half a minute is soooooooo dumb! XDDDDDDD
I believe that if you wrote 80 minutes and 1 hr 20 minutes, it would have fooled SOME people for longer than 5 seconds...
No offfence, but are you aware that this is the least popular trick teaser on Braingle?
I did get this but still a good one.
