Brainteaser Thread

[Count of Cutesy]

Simply put, this is a thread where we post Brainteasers. And then other people have to guess it. Sound simple? Okay, here are the rules.

1: One person posts a Brain Teaser, and then people have to solve the Brain Teaser.
2: The person who correctly guesses the Brain Teaser gets to post their own.
3: Brain Teaser's HAVE to make sense. If I see any bizarro logic like "Man is stuck in a room with no way to get out and the only things in the room are a mirror and a table." Situations like these HAVE to be possible. No "Man looks into mirror and saw what he saw, grabs the saw out of the mirror and cuts the table in half. Two halves make a whole, man jumps through hole and escapes." If I see ANYTHING like that, that person will be banned from the topic for a week.

Anyway, I kind of wanted to make a Brain Teaser based off an idea for an episode of Benny N' Friends that I thought up recently where Conan reveals to Benny that he is actually rather inteligent and is forced to act dumb due to a law passed by a jealous Oni who wants to be the smartest Oni in the world. (Near the end of the episode, Conan may have a reason for acting dumb again, but I haven't thought of a good reason yet.) Sometime in the episode, Conan shows Benny his older and younger brother. Well...

Conan's older brother is named Arther, and Conan's Mother loved to read. What is Conan's younger brother probably named?

[.: ♥ Kiniia ♥ :.]

Merlin? I dunno

[Count of Cutesy]

Incorrect.

Think about it: Arthur is the older brother, Conan is the brother in between, and their mother loved to read. What is probably the name of the youngest son?

Hint: Try thinking of some one who was made famous for their books.

[.: ♥ Kiniia ♥ :.]

Probably something beginning with B but I dunno what.

[Philly Tanuki]

Oh oh!  Is it Doyle!?

[Count of Cutesy]

Oh oh!  Is it Doyle!?

Correctamundo! Conan and his brothers are named after famous detective novelist Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Your turn.

Alright I couldn't think of anything else at the moment so here is this one

There is a house and all 4 sides of the house are facing south.  Where is the house located?

[Count of Cutesy]

Hmmm, that's a melon scratcher. I actually don't know.

[.: ♥ Kiniia ♥ :.]

Either magnetic south (does that exist)

or it's a flat house/house with one side

[Philly Tanuki]

Lol no there is no magnetic south
And it's not a flat house

[.: ♥ Kiniia ♥ :.]

The centre of the earth?

[Philly Tanuki]

Nope! Not there either!

[Philly Tanuki]

yay for Rob!  You got it!

[.: ♥ Kiniia ♥ :.]

North pole? the walls are facing outwards? or all across the equator, you didn't say how big it was

EDIT: Damn, too slow

[Philly Tanuki]

If you're standing at the direct center of the north pole there is nowhere to go but south.
