00:00For friends, these guys, Jack, Michael, Andrew, and Tom, went to a restaurant and ordered a meal for a total of 80 bucks.

00:08They agreed to split the bill equally.

00:11But it turned out that Tom had forgotten his wallet and couldn't pay anything.

00:15And Andrew only had $10 in cash.

00:17So, how much must Jack and Michael pony up to cover the entire check?

00:30Initially, each person was supposed to pay $80 divided by 4, or $20.

00:37But Tom pays nothing, and Andrew can only contribute $10.

00:42It means Jack and Michael have to cover $80 minus $10 equals $70.

00:47So, they have to split this $70 and pay $35 each.

00:52Then they show up at Tom's house to collect what's owed them, or he ends up in a trunk.

00:57Hey, just kidding.

00:58Now, you need to figure out a 5-digit whole number that reads the same forward, backward, and upside down.

01:06Its second digit is half of the third one.

01:09The fifth digit is the product of the first and the last ones.

01:12And the sum of all the digits is 10.

01:15You can pause the video to crack this puzzle.

01:17This number is 10801.

01:31On a freezing cold January day, a man called the police and reported a car accident.

01:37A police officer who arrived to investigate had a coughing fit.

01:41So, the driver opened his car and gave the officer a bottle of water.

01:45Then he told the police that he had parked the car near his house the day before.

01:50But when he came back the next day, the hood was damaged.

01:53The man claimed his neighbor had dropped some ice on his car while cleaning his roof.

01:57The neighbor denied these accusations.

02:00So, who is lying?

02:10The car owner.

02:12If his car had been outside for the whole night, the water in the bottle would have frozen.

02:16A bank has been robbed.

02:19The criminal, wearing a mask, ran outside, right into the middle of a festival, where many

02:24people were dressed exactly the same.

02:27How can the police figure out who to chase?

02:38The woman on the left is a happy bride, wearing a ridiculously large ring, proudly showing everyone

02:45that she's about to marry a wealthy man.

02:48The man on the right is an astronaut.

02:50He got a tattoo of his mission because he loves his job and misses space.

02:55But the woman in the center is suspicious.

02:58What's inside that stroller?

02:59Well, that baby has a very odd shape.

03:03She hid the stolen money under a blanket, hoping no one would question a mother with a stroller.

03:09Eric got lost in a museum.

03:11While he was trying to find a way out, it got late.

03:14All the doors were closed.

03:16Finally, he saw three staircases.

03:19The first one was all covered in bizarre nettles with razor-sharp leaves and long spikes.

03:24The second had giant, stinking flowers with a stench almost impossible to bear.

03:29And the third staircase was an impassable jungle of cacti.

03:34Which staircase should Eric choose?

03:35He should go down the second staircase.

03:47Even though the flowers are gross, hey, they're harmless.

03:51David loved mountain climbing.

03:53But his mother considered his hobby too dangerous.

03:57Once David's friend invited him on a rock climbing trip.

04:00David knew his mother would be against it.

04:02So he told her he would go fishing at the nearest lake.

04:06The woman agreed, but asked him to send a photo of him fishing.

04:09Hey, not much trust there, huh?

04:11Once David arrived at the foot of the mountain, he photoshopped a fishing photo and sent it to his mother.

04:17As soon as she saw it, she immediately realized it was a fake.

04:21The woman knew it was snowing outside.

04:34It meant there had to be snow at the nearest lake too.

04:38Mr. Brown's sons found their dad unconscious on the floor of his office.

04:43The detective questioned each of the brothers separately.

04:45The eldest, David, said that when he had come in to feed the fish, his father had been fine.

04:52Marcus said that he had come in to discuss his business plans, and his father had given him great advice.

04:58And Lucas, the youngest, said that he had come to ask his father for his car to impress the girl he liked.

05:05The detective immediately realized who was lying.

05:08Have you figured it out?

05:09David said he had come to feed the fish.

05:20And indeed, there's an aquarium in the office.

05:23But there are no fish in it.

05:26Someone got into Matthew's house during a severe rainstorm and took a lot of expensive stuff.

05:32The man called the police.

05:33They came over and started to interview the neighbors.

05:36Nicole said she lived alone and worked from home.

05:39She was inside the entire day.

05:42Jerry explained he was a chef in an Italian restaurant.

05:45He came back from work only a half an hour ago.

05:49Sophia told the police officers she hadn't left home because she was ill.

05:53Who's the thief?

06:03It's Nicole.

06:04She claimed she had been inside the entire day.

06:07But look at that wet umbrella in the corner.

06:11A man had a book that was worth $50,000.

06:15There were only two such books in existence.

06:17He threw the book into the fire, turning it into a pile of soot.

06:22Why did he do this?

06:23He destroyed the book because he had both copies.

06:35After destroying one of them, there was only one left, so its value immediately went up.

06:42Detective Adams arrived at the Museum of Modern Music because someone had stolen the legendary shoes that belonged to Elvis Presley.

06:49A museum guard told the detective that they had reviewed the footage from security cameras and found out that all the visitors had come in and left empty-handed.

06:59Detective Adams examined the footage and said he knew who had stolen the shoes.

07:03Have you figured it out?

07:04It's the red-headed guy.

07:15When he entered the exhibition, he was shorter than the other visitors.

07:19But when he was leaving, he was as tall as the others.

07:23He must be wearing Elvis' high-heeled shoes.

07:27Jacob and his brother Jack were walking along the street.

07:29When they passed a grocery store, Jacob pointed at a young woman and said,

07:34Look, my niece is over there.

07:36His brother answered,

07:37Oh, right, but it's not my niece.

07:40How come?

07:50The young woman is Jack's daughter.

07:53The faster you run, the harder it is to catch this thing.

07:56What is it?

07:59It's your breath.

08:09Jane lived in Bangkok with her husband Daniel.

08:12Once, she told her husband she wanted to visit her aunt living in Poland.

08:17Daniel didn't mind, but he asked his wife to send him a photo as soon as she got to Europe.

08:22When Helen landed in Warsaw, she sent Daniel a selfie.

08:25After looking at the photo, Daniel realized his wife had lied to him.

08:30How did he know?

08:40In the picture, the clock on the wall shows the same time as the clock in the kitchen, which is in Bangkok.

08:46If Jane were in Poland, the clock would show a different time because of the time difference.

08:52The best player of a local volleyball team disappeared right before the game.

08:57The coach suspected three players from the rival team.

09:01Jackson said he had just returned from the gym, where he had been warming up before the competition.

09:06Leo had to pick up his wife and their newborn daughter from the hospital.

09:10And Ryan claimed he'd fractured his leg, and the team doctor gave him a massage.

09:15Who's behind the player's disappearance?

09:26It's Ryan.

09:27Getting a massage when your leg's broken doesn't seem like the wisest move to me.

09:32Dorothy worked as a maid in a rich family.

09:36The woman called the police and accused Dorothy of taking the jewelry.

09:40Can you help the girl prove she has nothing to do with the theft?

09:53Dorothy was not very attentive while cleaning the house.

09:56One of the rings is under the sofa, and the other is in the fruit bowl.

10:00You know, actually, it's the wife who's not attentive.

10:03But I digress.

10:05When do you look at number 2, let's say 10?

10:17It happens when you look at your wristwatch.

10:20That's it for today.
