Brain Teaser 3/29/2014

Several contestants are in a chocolate-bunny eating contest. After 20 minutes of stuffing their faces, all of the bunnies have been eaten. One of the contestants remarks, "Isn't it interesting that there were 7 times as many bunnies as contestants, but that each of us ate a different number of bunnies?" Another contestant replies, "That certainly is interesting. I always eat the ears first and I noticed that when we had eaten a third of the bunnies that there were 4 fewer than 10 times as many bunny ears as human noses in the contest." How many bunnies and contestants were in the contest?

This Optical Illusion Will Blow You Away

How’s everyone’s weekend going at this point? It’s Saturday morning here and I’m sitting here with a nice, fresh cup of coffee while I post up this new optical illusion for all of you to (hopefully) enjoy.


I came across amazing piece of art and I’ve decided to share it with all of you. This is a bit different than you average work of art, because this piece of art also interacts with its surroundings. So, not only is this an amazing piece of work, but it also shows the creativity of the artist, as this art interacts with a street light. Check out the piece of art below to see what I’m talking about.


This Optical Illusion Will Blow You Away






As you can see, during the day, it’s just a really nice piece or art of a man holding a stick of dynamite. At night, when the street light comes on, it looks like the fuse has been lit on the stick of dynamite, which is an absolutely astonishing and beautiful effect. The person responsible for this piece of art certainly deserves a round of applause, in my opinion.


Do you want to see another cool optical illusion? Have a look at THIS optical illusion and have fun trying to decipher a message.
