Each Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together.

Leave your answer in the comment section. I’ll approve responses later in the day to give people a chance to respond without seeing any spoilers.

This week’s brain teaser:  When you need me you throw me away. When you’re done with me you take me back. What am I? BTW, the answer is not ex-boyfriends.

This week’s riddle came from the 17th annual Brazilian Olympiad which featured this very tricky logic puzzle. I totally booted this but thought, I’d share it with you. 

This week’s brain teaser: 

Assume both of these sentences are true:
Pinocchio always lies.
Pinocchio says, “All my hats are green.”

We can conclude from these two sentences that:
A) Pinocchio has at least one hat.
B) Pinocchio has only one great hat.
C) Pinocchio has no hats.
D) Pinocchio has at least one green hat.
E) Pinocchio has no green hats.
