Today’s Daily Brain Teaser (Apr 08, 2015)

Denner’s Baby

Whilst my body is usually made from wood,



I have keys that don’t unlock doors,



and a bell that does not ring.



Moreover, I cannot speak without the help of a single piece of cane.

What am I?

Brushes In A Cup Optical Illusion

Happy Easter! Time to break out the baskets, and fill them with all kinds of cool candy and plenty of Easter eggs! So, how many of you are still going to have fun today even if you aren’t going to be hunting for Easter eggs. Well, today’s optical illusion just goes to show that you can take anything and create something else out of it. Today’s optical illusion is a cup full of bushes, but do you notice that there’s something unusual about them. You’re right! This cup of brushes is not really a cup and those are not brushes either. This is another great body paint, and its really amazing all the detail that each finger has and the hand itself.

Ready for another optical illusion that involves that wonderful hot beverage we all enjoy every single morning? Yes, that’s right, coffee! Check out this wise owl, and you may notice that it’s made of two cups of coffee and a pile of coffee beans. We have to admit, this is a pretty cool picture of the owl, and we love it. Hope you all enjoy Easter, and don’t forget to have a lot of fun with your friends and relatives. Happy Easter everyone and have a great day!
