Tricky tasks for elementary school
Golovina Tatyana Sergeevna, primary school teacherDear colleagues, I bring to your attention a selection of tasks for ingenuity for use in lessons with students of the younger school age.
I believe that from the very younger age it is necessary to offer children such tasks. Such tasks are usually very short in wording. To guess them, the child must have a developed outlook, knowledge about the world around him. You need to start teaching with riddles. It is they who teach imaginative non-standard thinking, which contribute to the development of logic and ingenuity. It is necessary to offer children different puzzles and not rush to explain the answer to them. At school, a collective form of work is suitable for solving such problems - in pairs, in groups. And the problem will be solved "one head is good, but two is better", and learn to work in a team. Rebus and charades develop ingenuity well.

261. In the dense Murom forest, ten springs are gushing out from under the ground dead water, they are numbered from # 1 to # 10.
From the first nine springs, everyone can take dead water, but spring number 10 is located in Koshchei's cave, into which no one, except Koshchei himself, can get.
The taste and color of dead water is no different from ordinary water, however, if a person drinks from any source, he will die. Only one thing can save him: if he drinks with poison from a source whose number is greater. For example, if he drinks from the seventh spring, then he must definitely drink poison No. 8, No. 9 or No. 10. If he drinks not the seventh poison, but the ninth, only poison No. 10 can help him. And if he immediately drinks the tenth poison, then nothing will help him.
Ivanushka the Fool challenged Koshchei to a duel. The conditions of the duel were as follows: each brings a mug of liquid with him and gives it to his opponent to drink. Koschey was delighted: “I will give poison number 10, and Ivan the fool will not be able to save himself! And I myself will drink the poison that Ivanushka the fool will bring me, I will drink it down with my tenth and I will be saved! "
On the appointed day, both opponents met at the agreed place. They honestly exchanged mugs and drank what was in them. It turned out that Koschey had died, but Ivan the Fool remained alive! How did it come about?
Ivanushka gave Kashchei plain water, and it turned out that Kashchei drank poison from the 10th source. Before the duel, Ivanushka himself drank poison from any one source and it turned out that he drank the poison with Kashcheev 10, and as a result, this poison was neutralized ..

273. There is a simple and cheap way to travel, which, surprisingly, no one uses. As you know, the Earth rotates around its axis, and quite quickly (in just 24 hours, each point on the Earth's equator travels approximately 40,000 km - a path equal to the length of the equator). So, instead of going somewhere by train or flying by plane, or sailing by ship, it is enough for us to rise high above the ground by hot-air balloon or an airship and stay motionless there for a while. During this time, the Earth will turn towards us with another part of its surface and it will only be necessary to descend to the right place. Is this reasoning correct? If not, what mistake was made in it?
This way of traveling is, of course, unsuitable. The atmosphere, gravitated by the Earth, rotates with it. And even if the atmosphere were motionless, then, having risen into it from the rotating Earth, we would have continued the Earth's motion by inertia for some time. In addition, if the atmosphere were stationary, and the Earth continued to rotate in it (and fast enough: see the condition of the problem), then in this case the most grandiose hurricane would not stop raging on the Earth, which would make impossible not only any travel but also human life itself.
Correct answer
274. Is it possible to boil water on an open flame in a paper box?
The question of the problem, at first glance, seems very strange, because if you hold the paper over the fire, it will surely catch fire. But the point is that the boiling point of water is much lower than the ignition temperature of paper. Since the heat of the flame is absorbed by the boiling water, the paper cannot reach the desired temperature and therefore does not ignite. It is only necessary that the paper is thick enough, otherwise the water will simply tear it and pour out onto the flame. A cardboard box is fine for boiling water. The same explanation underlies the phenomenon of a fireproof piece of paper tightly wound around a metal rod (or steel nail) and embedded in a candle flame. The heat of the fire will be taken up by the rod, preventing the piece of paper from heating up to the desired temperature and catching fire.

At first glance, it may seem that a bottle costs 1 r., And a cork 10 k., But then a bottle is more expensive than a cork by 90 k., And not 1 r., As by condition. In fact, a bottle costs 1 r. 05 k., And the cork costs 5 k.
Correct answer
279. Katya lives on the fourth floor, and Olya lives on the second. Rising to the fourth floor, Katya overcomes 60 steps. How many steps does Olya have to go through to get to the second floor?
At first glance, it may seem that Olya goes through 30 steps - two times less than Katya, since she lives two times below her. In fact, this is not the case. When Katya ascends to the fourth floor, she overcomes 3 flights of stairs between floors. This means that there are 20 steps between the two floors: 60: 3 = 20. Olya rises from the first floor to the second, therefore, she overcomes 20 steps.
Correct answer
280. How from a mug, ladle, saucepan and any other utensils correct cylindrical filled to the brim with water, pour exactly half of it, without using any measuring instruments?
Any dish of regular cylindrical shape, when viewed from the side, is a rectangle. As you know, the diagonal of a rectangle divides it into two equal parts. Likewise, a cylinder is bisected by an ellipse. From a cylindrical dish filled with water, water must be poured until the surface of the water on one side reaches the corner of the dish, where its bottom meets the wall, and on the other side, the edge of the dish through which it is poured. In this case, exactly half of the water will remain in the dishes:
Correct answer
281. Three hens lay three eggs in three days. How many eggs will 12 chickens lay in 12 days?
You can immediately answer that 12 chickens will lay 12 eggs in 12 days. However, it is not. If three hens lay three eggs in three days, then one hen in the same three days lays one egg. Therefore, in 12 days it will lay: 12: 3 = 4 eggs. If there are 12 chickens, then in 12 days they will lay: 12 4 = 48 eggs.
Correct answer

283. "I guarantee, - said the seller in the pet store, - that this parrot will repeat any word he heard." The delighted buyer bought the miracle bird, but when he came home, he found that the parrot was as mute as a fish. However, the seller did not lie. How is this possible? (A joke task.)
The parrot can indeed repeat every word he hears, but he is deaf and does not hear a single word.
Correct answer
284. There is a candle and a kerosene lamp in the room. What will you light first when you enter this room in the evening?
Of course, a match, since without it you cannot light a candle or a kerosene lamp. The question of the problem is ambiguous, because it can be understood either as a choice between a candle and a kerosene lamp, or as a sequence in lighting something (first a match, then everything else from it).

Correct answer
286. Over time, a person will definitely visit Mars. Sasha Ivanov is a person. Consequently, Sasha Ivanov will eventually visit Mars. Is this reasoning correct? If not, what mistake was made in it?
The reasoning is wrong. It is not necessary that Sasha Ivanov will eventually visit Mars. The external correctness of this reasoning is created due to the use of one word in it ("person") in two different senses: in the broad (abstract representative of humanity) and in the narrow (specific, given, this particular person).
Correct answer
287. It is often said that a composer, or an artist, or a writer, or a scientist must be born. Is this true? Is it really necessary to be born a composer (artist, writer, scientist)? (A joke task.)
Of course, a composer, as well as an artist, writer or scientist, must be born, because if a person is not born, then he will not be able to compose music, draw pictures, write novels or do scientific discoveries... This comic task is based on the ambiguity of the question: "Is it really necessary to be born?" This question can be understood literally: is it necessary to be born in order to engage in any kind of activity; and also this question can be understood in a figurative sense: is the talent of a composer (artist, writer, scientist) innate, given by nature, or is it acquired during life by hard work.
Correct answer
288. In order to see, it is not at all necessary to have eyes. Without the right eye, we see. Without the left one, too, we see. And since we have no other eyes apart from the left and right eyes, it turns out that neither eye is necessary for vision. Is this statement true? If not, what mistake was made in it?
The reasoning is, of course, wrong. Its external correctness is based on the almost imperceptible exclusion of one more option, which in this reasoning also had to be considered. This is an option when neither eye can see. It was he who was missed: "Without the right eye, we see, without the left, too, which means that eyes are not necessary for sight." Correct statement should be like this: “Without the right eye we see, without the left we also see, but without the two we cannot see together, which means that we see either with one eye, or with the other, or with two together, but we cannot see without eyes, which, thus are necessary for vision. "
Correct answer
289. The parrot has lived less than 100 years and can only answer "yes" and "no" questions. How many questions does he need to ask to find out his age?
At first glance, it may seem that a parrot can be asked up to 99 questions. In fact, you can get by with much fewer questions. Let's ask him like this: "Are you over 50 years old?" If he answers yes, then his age is from 51 to 99 years old; if he answers “no”, then he is from 1 to 50 years old. The number of options for his age after the first question is halved. The next similar question: "Are you over (you may ask - under) 25 years old?", "Are you over (under) 75 years old?" (depending on the answer to the first question) reduces the number of options by four times, etc. As a result, the parrot needs to be asked only 7 questions.
Correct answer
290. One person who fell into captivity tells the following: “My dungeon was in the upper part of the castle. After many days of effort, I managed to break one of the twigs in a narrow window. It was possible to crawl into the resulting hole, but the distance to the ground was too great to simply jump down. In the corner of the dungeon, I found a rope forgotten by someone. However, it turned out to be too short to go down. Then I remembered how one wise man lengthened a blanket that was too short for him, cutting off a part of it from the bottom and sewing it on top. So I hastened to split the rope in half and tie the two pieces together again. Then it became long enough, and I safely went down along it. " How did the narrator manage to do this?
The narrator split the rope not across, as it most likely might seem, but along, making two ropes out of it equal length... When he tied the two pieces together, the rope was twice as long as it was at first.
