00:00Kira and her friends went to the forest to check on an old mansion which was rumored

00:07to belong to a magician.

00:10The girls took a couple of photos inside and left.

00:14That evening, Kira was looking through the photos and noticed something very odd about

00:19them.

00:20Take a look at them too.

00:21What seems off?

00:32The height of one of Kira's friends, this girl, Alyssa, constantly changes.

00:37Is it magic?

00:38Or is her friend not who she says she is?

00:43Of course, Kira decided to look for some more photos.

00:46Here's a photo of her friends at school.

00:48Do you notice anything suspicious about Alyssa?

01:01Yes of course, Alyssa doesn't cast a shadow!

01:06Mrs. Jones owns a company that creates online content and they have dozens of projects.

01:12Take a look at the photo of their office and try to find an imposter, someone who doesn't

01:16really work there but has sneaked in.

01:28This one must be the imposter, he's the only one not wearing a badge!

01:35The office is located in a 70-story skyscraper.

01:39You work on the 42nd floor and you need to go down to the 23rd floor.

01:44You are lucky, two elevators have arrived to pick you up.

01:47Which one should you choose?

01:58You should definitely pick this one.

02:00There are fewer people inside, which means that the elevator will make fewer stops on

02:05the way down.

02:08Take a look at these two elevators.

02:10In one of them, there's Mrs. Jones, the boss.

02:13In the other one, there's an employee.

02:15Can you figure out who the boss is?

02:27Look at the floor buttons, the woman is going to the top floor, so she must be the boss.

02:35Look at the photo from a security camera.

02:37Can you figure out who the best employee is?

02:49The first one seems to be taking a break, but she is the best employee.

02:53Look, there's her photo on the wall stating that she's the employee of the month.

03:01In the afternoon, invaders occupied your office and you need to escape.

03:06There are three corridors.

03:08In the first corridor, you see several invaders coming.

03:12In the second corridor, a fire is raging.

03:15As for the third corridor, a janitor mopped the floor there in the morning.

03:28You might be reluctant to take the third corridor in case you slip, but the cleaning man mopped

03:32the floor in the morning, but it's already afternoon.

03:35The floor isn't slippery anymore.

03:40Amelia is a lucky mother of two twins, three triplets, and four quadruplets.

03:45And all of them are girls.

03:47How many daughters does Amelia have?

03:58She has nine daughters.

04:00Two twins are two daughters, three triplets are three daughters, and the quadruplets are

04:04four more daughters.

04:08Mrs. Smith wanted you to pick up a package from the post office, but she was running

04:12late because of heavy rain and couldn't pick it up on time.

04:16So, she asked her husband to do it, and he agreed.

04:19When Mrs. Smith came back home, her husband said he hadn't made it on time.

04:23The post office was already closed when he arrived.

04:27Mrs. Smith realized that he had lied and hadn't gone anywhere.

04:31How did he figure it out?

04:41It's been raining all day, but the spot under Mr. Smith's car is dry, which means that the

04:47car hadn't been used.

04:53Esme was having a walk in the forest and got lost.

04:56She found a witch's house, walked in, petted a black cat, and asked the witch to take her

05:02home.

05:03The witch agreed to help, but only if Esme solved her new riddle first.

05:08Take nine from six, ten from nine, and fifty from forty, so that together they make six.

05:15How can Esme do it?

05:26Esme should use Roman numbers.

05:28Six should be spelled out, and the Roman nine is written like this, so the letter S is left.

05:33Then, from the Roman nine, we take the Roman ten and get an I.

05:38Finally, this is forty, and this is fifty, so now we've got the letter X.

05:44Together they spell six.

05:50Allison found her best friend, Megan, unconscious in her bedroom.

05:54She immediately called the police.

05:56The police found the two girls on the second floor in Megan's bedroom.

06:00She was out of the city for a week.

06:02We agreed to meet tomorrow, but I was walking past her house and saw that the lights were

06:06on, so she was home.

06:08I peeked through her bedroom window and saw her lying there.

06:11I have a spare key, so I rushed inside.

06:14Allison was taken to the police station as a suspect.

06:17Why?

06:19Megan's bedroom is on the second floor.

06:29The girl couldn't just peek through the window.

06:32Something is wrong with her story, and the police need to find out what it is.

06:38In a parallel universe, it's only allowed to have fun and eat sweets.

06:43No one ever works or studies.

06:45Mrs. Relham came back home after a long and fun day at a club.

06:49Her three daughters were supposed to have fun too.

06:52She asked them what they'd been doing.

06:54Hannah said, I was watching Netflix all weekend.

06:57Elle said, I went to a party.

07:00And Ava said, I had a sleepover with a bunch of girls.

07:04Still, Mrs. Relham could tell that one of her daughters had lied and had actually spent

07:09all day studying.

07:10Who was it?

07:16It was Hannah.

07:21Look, her books are on the table.

07:24They look as if they've been opened and used.

07:27Hannah was definitely reading them.

07:30So Ava had a sleepover with her friends.

07:33No wonder her room is a complete mess right now.

07:35She's going to play paintball with her friends.

07:37She needs her backpack, her hairbrush, and a hoodie.

07:41Can you help her find them in the room?

07:52Yes, here they all are.

07:54Great job!

07:56The day after playing paintball, Elle heads for a birthday party.

08:01She needs her heels, her nail polish, and a present.

08:04Can you help her find them?

08:12The heels, the nail polish, and the present.

08:17All here.

08:18Have you found them?

08:21Hannah was getting ready to go on a date but couldn't find some of her stuff.

08:24She remembered that she had lent her lipstick, her cardigan, and her hair curler to Elle.

08:29Elle's room was in a mess too.

08:31Can you help Hannah find her stuff there?

08:42Here all the items are.

08:44Have you spotted them all?

08:47Elle is getting ready for her soccer practice.

08:50She needs her sneakers, her water bottle, and her umbrella.

08:53Where are they?

09:03They're all right here.

09:07On Thursday, a high school student, Remy, went missing.

09:10There are three suspects.

09:12Mrs. Jones, the principal, Mr. Nelson, the school's cook, and Mr. Ronan, the janitor.

09:19Mrs. Jones said that she had a lot of work and hadn't seen any students that day.

09:24Mr. Nelson said that he had seen Remy at lunch with his friends.

09:28Mr. Ronan said he didn't know Remy was just doing his job.

09:32Who should be arrested for further investigation?

09:40Mrs. Jones, look!

09:45There's a scarf in her office.

09:47Remy was wearing it that day.

09:49Seems like he was in her office after all.

09:52Okay, let's have a bit of fun.

10:11Yes, of course, it's Wednesday.

10:28Yes, that's Squid Game, another popular show.

10:32Do you want me to make it a bit harder for you?
