Each Friday morning I post a riddle or brain teaser. The idea is to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. Share this weeks riddle with friends or coworkers if you cannot figure out the answer and together perhaps you’ll figure it out.
Post your answers in the comments section and I’ll confirm the correct responses after lunch to give everyone a fair chance.
This week’s riddle: While playing ping-pong, your only ball falls down into a narrow one foot metal pipe embedded in concrete. How can you get it out undamaged, if all the tools you have are your tennis paddle, your shoe-laces, and your plastic water bottle.
(oops sorry someone beat me to it)
Hey you didn’t say there was water in the bottle
You didn’t say there was water in the bottle… hehehe.
You could use the water in you
Pour your water into the pipe till the ball floats to the surface. Not enough water, pee.
Correct Ethan!
Fill lthe pipe with water from the water bottle. The ball will rise to the top.
You are right Bob.
