Each Friday morning I post a riddle to try to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain.

If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and try to figure it out together.  I’ll confirm answers in the afternoon so don’t worry if you don’t see your comment posted right away. I want to give everyone a chance to guess.

This week’s brain teaser: 

Race cars were racing on an oval track
Each driver was skilled, no speed did they lack.
The red car’s driver finished next to last
Even thought his car was really quite fast.
The blue car’s driver came in second place
Not a bad finish for just his first race.
When results were in, questions did arise
How did the red car received the first prize?

This week’s brain teaser: 

The big bad wolf said, “I’ll huff and I’ll puff”
But the third pig’s house was built strong enough.
The three little pigs all now know the trick
When they build their homes, they only use brick.
A new building code will limit the weight
A house total tons can not exceed eight.
If bricks weigh four pounds plus half a brick more
What are the most bricks a pig can ask for?

This week’s brain teaser: 

Pronounced as one letter,
And written with three,
Two letters there are,
And two only in me.
I’m double, I’m single,
I’m black, blue, and gray,
I’m read from both ends,
And the same either way.
What am I?

This week’s brain teaser:  Two spies want to infiltrate an enemy military base but to enter they must give the correct countersign at the gate so they wait nearby undercover to overhear the countersign from other soldiers as they pass.

One soldier comes and is given the sign “6″; the soldier answers “3″ and is allowed to pass.  Soon a second soldier approaches and is given the sign “12″; he responds “6″ and is allowed to pass. Thinking he had cracked the code the first spy goes to the gate but when he is given the sign “10″ and says “5″ he is shot dead. The second spy, who witnessed everything is able to figure out the code so when he approaches and is given the sign “8″ he confidently answers correctly.

What was the answer that the spy gave and why?
