Strong Winds
Trick
Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.Trick
It was a very windy day. On a narrow but busy country road, the wind blew over 3 trucks. However, this had no effect on the rest of the traffic in either direction. Even if the trucks had been blown to the side of the road, it would still not have caused delays with recovery. Why were there no effects on the traffic?
Answer
I said the wind blew OVER the trucks: it did not blow the trucks over.Hide Answer Show Answer

I thought toy trucks also until I reread the question. I liked this one!
Why is that part about "blown to the side of the road" in there...? Anyway, I like this teaser! I work in Safety for a trucking company - my boss will love this one!
Great teaser! I didn't understand the line about them being blown to the side of the road, though. That threw me off.
At first I was confused on what the problem was because I interpreted that way in the first place
Haha clever wordplay!
Good play on words - but please explain the bit about getting blown to the side of the road, and how that would not affect traffic either!
um, am I missing something? Why would the wind blowing on the trucks have any effect on the traffic? I really did not get that teaser
