This Week's Puzzler

The New Old Puzzler


Okay, it is time for the new (old) puzzler. The one for kids 12 and under. Remember this?

This one is from last week. We gave the kiddos an extra week to figure it out. The kids went back to school this month, so they need a little more time.

And we need a little more time to come up with the next one!

Okay, here it is again. For the young and the young at heart. Here's the question. It's very simple.

What is it that you can see that you can put in a barrel that will make it lighter? To make it weigh less?

This is something you can put in the barrel and it will weigh less. Something you can see. So it's not like helium gas or white paint. That would make it whiter. That isn't what we mean. The answer is something that would make it weigh less.

What is it? We have been scratching the old noodle for about a week now over here. And remember, to answer this puzzler, you must be either 12 years old or younger, or you must have been accused by your spouse of acting like a 12 year old at least twice in the last week... 

Good luck.

Remember last week's puzzler?

Age 12 and Under


Time for the new puzzler. Something for the kids this time, I think. The puzzlers are always for adults. So here is one for the kids. 

Age 12 and under. This is for kids, ages 12 and under, and anyone who is mentally a kid, ages 12 and under. So, go ahead and get the kids. Call them inside from disassembling the Chevy in the driveway... They are probably playing video games or making Tiktoks... But call them in! This is for them. 

Okay, here it is. This is what we call a, 'What is its puzzler. Here you go.

What can you put in a barrel that will make the barrel weigh less? What can you put in the barrel to make the barrel lighter?

It is something you can see. And something that will make the barrel weigh less. 

And you can only guess the answer if you're 12 years old or less. If you think like a 12 year old. Or if you wish you were 12 years old, you can guess too. 

Good luck!
