Brain Teasers
Madadian Kebab Flakes
Situation
Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.Situation
Every morning when Mad Ade has some "KebabFlakes" (one of Madadia's best selling breakfast cereals), he puts a jug of chilli sauce, to pour on his kebabflakes, in the microwave (which is in working order) for exactly 84 seconds. Why?
Hint
Don't bother about getting mathematical, or too technical!Answer
When Mad Ade puts the jug into the microwave, the handle on the jug is pointing towards him. The microwave has a revolving plate on which the jug of chilli sauce is placed. After 84 seconds, Mad Ade knows, through experience, that the handle is again in its initial position, so he can take the cup out without burning his hands.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer
