We always hear how important it is to exercise our bodies. However, few people pay attention to exercising their minds every once in a while. Just like physical exercise straining, our brain can feel a bit unpleasant. One way folks excise their brains is through puzzles, quizzes, and riddles.
These are usually questions or visual problems that challenge our brains to use every resource to find the solution. Sometimes if we stare at a problem long enough, things start making sense. Other times we can stare so long that our brains sort-of freeze up. That’s when it’s a good idea to go out and take a walk or do something else that’s relaxing.
Often times, when folks are stumped by a problem, they take a break to allow their minds to relax.
However, in truth, our minds are always working, and sometimes the solution can come to us when we least expect it. I’m sure you’ve experienced this, maybe while out for a walk, or drive, or even in the shower. That’s the magic of our brains; even when a problem is not at the forefront of our mind, our subconscious is working furiously like a detective standing in front of a board, connecting all the lines.
For this riddle, there are a lot of folks who’ve driven themselves nuts trying to solve it. But sometimes it’s best to just close your eyes and let your subconscious do the work.
The answer is A PENNY!
