Brainteaser #27

Use a brainteaser to start or revive or end a meeting. A great way to shift the brain, spark new energy, maybe even cause a giggle or a smile. All of which can help you boost morale and productivity.

In celebration of Mother’s day, we have three brainteasers.

We’ll start with the hardest one.

#1: My daughter has many sisters. She has as many sisters as she has brothers. Each of her brothers has twice as many sisters as brothers. How many sons and daughters do I have?

#2: Tom’s mother has three children. One is named April, one is named May. What is the third one named?

#3:  What does this spell backwards?  MOM

Okay – we know you know the answer to #3.  Whether you spell it forward or backward – be sure to  remember your MOM on  Mother’s Day, this Sunday, May 9.

Do you have answers for #1 and #2?

Share your answer in Comments section below.

We’ll share the “official” answer later today.

#1 and #2 came from the Entertainment section of Dan Hersam’s website.

#3 – well – we made that one up.  Aren’t we clever?
