Touch or Don’t Touch

Section: Brain Teasers Category: Practical
Difficulty:

For this puzzle/game, you need to keep presenting various words to your friends and telling them whether they are “TOUCH” or they are “DON’T TOUCH”. Below, we have listed several words from each category.

TOUCH: banana, proof, mouse, keyboard, promo, woman

DON’T TOUCH: cherry, solution, cat, screen, discount, girl

Can you guess what determines whether a word is “TOUCH” or “DON’T TOUCH”?

Words that make your lips touch when pronounced belong to the “TOUCH” category, while the others belong to the “DON’T TOUCH” category. The sounds “P”, “B”, “M”, and “W” that cause this are called “bilabial”.

Five Points, Ten Distances

Section: Brain Teasers Category: Deduction
Difficulty:

Five points, A, B, C, D, and E, lie on a line. The distances between them in ascending order are: 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, X, 15, 17, 20, and 22. What is X?

We assume that the points are ordered A to E from left to right. We have AE = 22 and either AD = 20, BE = 17, or AD = 17, BE = 20. Without loss of generality AD = 20, BE = 17, and therefore AB = 5, BD = 15, DE = 2. The distance of 6 is associated with either BC or CD, and therefore the points are arranged in one of these two ways:

  1. AB = 5, BC = 6, CD = 9, DE = 2
  2. AB = 5, BC = 9, CD = 6, DE = 2

If it is the latter, we get the sequence of distances: 2, 5, 6, 9, 11, 14, 15, 17, 20, 22, which does not fit the provided sequence.

If it is the former, we get the sequence of distances: 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 14, 15, 17, 20, 22, and therefore X = 14.
