How Stupid Am I? Questions and Answers

  • 1. 

    What has keys but can't open locks, has space but no room, and you can enter but can't go outside?

    • A.

      A Keyboard

    • B.

      A Mouse

    • C.

      A Map

    • D.

      A Dream

    Correct Answer
    A. A Keyboard
    Explanation
    A keyboard fits the riddle because it has keys (symbols),  has the space button, and the enter button. Additionally, a keyboard is used for typing and inputting information into a computer or device. It cannot physically open locks, contain room for objects, or allow someone to physically exit a space.

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    If there are 6 apples and you take away 4, how many do you have?

    • A.

      2

    • B.

      4

    • C.

      6

    • D.

      None

    Correct Answer
    B. 4
    Explanation
    Four. The question asks how many you have, not how many are left. Therefore, after taking away 4 apples, you still have those 4 apples in your possession. This riddle plays on the wording of the question to trick the reader into thinking they have none left. It's a clever way to challenge logic and critical thinking skills.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 11, 21, 1211...?

    • A.

      111221

    • B.

      112112

    • C.

      221111

    • D.

      111122

    Correct Answer
    A. 111221
    Explanation
    111221. This is a bit tricky! Each number describes the previous one. So, "11" is "one 1," "21" is "two 1s," "1211" is "one 2, one 1," and therefore the next number is "one 1, one 2, two 1s." This riddle is a fun way to engage with numbers and patterns, challenging the reader to think creatively. It's a great exercise for building problem-solving skills and mathematical reasoning.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    A farmer has 17 sheep. All but 9 die. How many are left?

    • A.

      9

    • B.

      8

    • C.

      17

    • D.

      0

    Correct Answer
    A. 9
    Explanation
    Nine. This is a word trick! The question states that all but 9 die, meaning 9 sheep survive and the rest die, leaving 9 sheep left. This type of riddle tests the reader's ability to carefully read and interpret information. Riddles like this one can be entertaining and educational, encouraging critical thinking and attention to detail. They often require thinking outside the box to arrive at the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    How many times can you subtract 10 from 100?

    • A.

      One Time 

    • B.

      Ten Times 

    • C.

      As many times as you want

    • D.

      It depends on how you subtract

    Correct Answer
    A. One Time 
    Explanation
    One. After subtracting 10 from 100 once, you are left with 90, and you can no longer subtract 10 from 100. This riddle is a classic example of a simple math problem that can trick many people. It's important to pay attention to the wording and think logically to arrive at the correct answer. Remember, sometimes the simplest solutions are the most useful in solving riddles like this one.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    You are alone in a dark, cold room; you have an oil lamp, an oil heater, and a candle; you have one match. What do you light first?

    • A.

      The oil lamp

    • B.

      The oil heater

    • C.

      The candle

    • D.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    D. None of the above
    Explanation
    In the given scenario, the critical element is the match. The riddle cleverly prompts you to light the match first before illuminating any other source, such as the oil lamp, oil heater, or candle. The answer is "None of the above," pointing out the importance of the match as the initial step in igniting any light-producing element in the dark, cold room.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Which month of the year has 28 days?

    • A.

      January

    • B.

      February

    • C.

      March 

    • D.

      All of the above

    Correct Answer
    D. All of the above
    Explanation
    Every month of the year has at least 28 days! While February is famous for having 28 days in a typical year (and 29 days in a leap year), all the other months also include a 28th day as part of their total days. For example, January has 31 days, but that means it also has a 28th day. The same applies to March, April, and all the remaining months.

    This question is a tricky riddle that plays with how we think about February being unique. But if you stop and think about it, every single month contains at least 28 days. It’s a fun way to test your reasoning and attention to detail! So next time someone asks, you’ll know the clever answer—every month has 28 days!

  • 8. 

    What has a head, a tail, but no body?

    • A.

      A coin

    • B.

      A snake

    • C.

      A kite

    • D.

      A book

    Correct Answer
    A. A coin
    Explanation
    A coin has a head (the side with the person's or emblem's face) and a tail (the opposite side with a design, often an animal or symbol), but it doesn't have a body in the literal sense. This riddle is a classic example of a play on words, as it tricks the reader into thinking about physical characteristics rather than metaphorical ones. It's a fun way to challenge your brain and think outside the box.

  • 9. 

    I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with the wind. What am I?

    • A.

      Instrument

    • B.

      Echo

    • C.

      Music

    • D.

      Vocals

    Correct Answer
    B. Echo
    Explanation
    An echo is a reflection of sound that occurs when sound waves bounce off surfaces, allowing us to hear a repetition of a sound without the need for a speaker or listener in the traditional sense. The mention of "coming alive with wind" could refer to how echoes are often more pronounced in windy or open spaces where sound can travel freely.

    How many sides does a circle have?

    • A.

      0

    • B.

      1

    • C.

      3

    • D.

      4

    Correct Answer
    A. 0
    Explanation
    A circle doesn't have sides in the traditional sense. It is a curve with no straight edges or angles, and the concept of "sides" doesn't apply to it. A circle is often described as having one continuous boundary or one continuous curve. A circle is a two-dimensional shape that is defined by its radius and center point, making it distinct from polygons which have multiple straight sides. The absence of sides in a circle allows it to have an infinite number of points along its circumference.

    If you have two cups with half a cup of water in them, how many cups do you have?

    • A.

      2

    • B.

      1

    • C.

      4

    • D.

      5

    Correct Answer
    A. 2
    Explanation
    2 Cups. Not the measurement because it is asking for the number of cups, not the amount of water in them. The question is testing your understanding of the number of cups, not the volume of water in them. Remember to read questions carefully to determine what is being asked and ensure you provide the correct answer based on the information given. In this case, the question is about the number of cups, not the volume of water they contain.

    Pi is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It is an irrational number, meaning it cannot be expressed as a simple fraction, and its decimal representation goes on infinitely without repeating. The value of Pi is approximately 3.14, which is the correct answer given in the options.

    If you rearrange the letters "CIFAIPC," what do you get?

    • A.

      An Ocean

    • B.

      A Fish

    • C.

      A Country

    • D.

      A continent

    Correct Answer
    A. An Ocean
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "A Pacific," which refers to an ocean.
    When you rearrange the letters "CIFAIPC," you can spell "PACIFIC." The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest ocean on Earth, covering more than 63 million square miles. It separates Asia and Australia from the Americas and is famous for its vast beauty and biodiversity.
    The other options, like "A Fish," "A Country," and "A Continent," don’t match when you rearrange the letters. For example, you can’t make a country or continent name with these letters. "PACIFIC" is the only meaningful word that fits.
    Rearranging letters to form a word is called an anagram. It’s a fun way to challenge your brain and improve problem-solving skills. So next time you see scrambled letters, give it a try—you might discover something as amazing as the Pacific Ocean!
