Данная загадка используется в некоторых частных школах для определения уровня развития 6-7 летнего ребенка (если не ответит значит - недоразвит:)

У собачки - 3, у кошки - 3, у петушка - 8, сколько у ослика?

Я несколько часов всерьез ломал голову но правильный ответ дать и объяснить почему так и не смог. А вот мой 5-летний крестник ответил сходу:)))

The language of men, can be mastered,
but what English word is always pronounced wrong?

A barrel of rainwater weighs twenty pounds,
What must you add to make it weigh fifteen?

You must keep this thing.
Its loss will afect your brothers,
For once your is lost,
It will be lost by others.

Another one (if nobody minds):

They feel no pain,
No sorrow, nor greed.
They have no anger,
No hatred, nor need

ummm... no. Any other guesses?

They are DEAD, that's for sure.

Funny, but you are correct. The answer is THE DEAD:)

The dead.

You must keep this thing.
Its loss will afect your brothers,
For once your is lost,
It will be lost by others.

Temper ...

Correct answer is TEMPER

must be a visualisation of the American nation :)

I guessed the first one, as it was more logical to me. Then found the source just out of curiosity. "Brothers" seem to be the point of confusion in the second one.

Is this from your source as well?

No visible flesh,
Nor blood, nor bone,
But given time,
They will walk alone.

I promise: no more answers to these riddles!

yup. Nice riddles, aren't they?:)
