The five questions everyone played that day, in the order they were asked, with the correct answers and why they are right.

1. Question 01 · Wordplay · Easier · Pick one

   Which word has a number hidden inside it?

   • Often✓ Correct answer
   • Castle
   • Garden
   • Market

   Often hides “ten” (of-TEN). Other examples are w-EIGHT (eight) and al-ONE (one). Reading a word letter by letter, rather than as a whole, reveals words hidden inside.

2. Question 02 · Wordplay · Easier · Pick one

   Which word can follow “rain”, “snow” and “brain”?

   • Fall
   • Drop
   • Storm✓ Correct answer
   • Coat

   Rainstorm, snowstorm and brainstorm. Rainfall and snowfall work, but “brainfall” doesn't — the third word is the real test.

3. Question 03 · Prediction · Medium · Pick a point on a scale

   You draw one card from a standard 52-card deck. What is the chance it is a heart?

   • 1 in 52
   • 1 in 13
   • 1 in 4✓ Correct answer
   • 1 in 2

   13 of the 52 cards are hearts, so the chance is 13/52 = 1/4 — one suit out of four.

4. Question 04 · Visual · Medium · This or that

   Which gives you more pizza?

   • One 12-inch pizza✓ Correct answer
   • Two 8-inch pizzas

   Area grows with the square of the width: 6² = 36 against 2 × 4² = 32 (times π). The single 12-inch pizza is bigger.

5. Question 05 · Memory · Harder · Put in order

   Shown for 3 seconds, then hidden:

   7 2 9 4 1

   Put the numbers in the order they appeared.

   Correct order

   1. 7
   2. 2
   3. 9
   4. 4
   5. 1

   The order was 7 2 9 4 1. Chunking helps: “72” and “941”.
