Virtual Team Brain Storm: Brain Teasers!

It has been a few weeks since our last brain teaser, so I have 2 to make up for lost time! The first one is a “Trick Brain Teaser”. It might seem difficult at first and may fool you. Good Luck…


1) A man is sitting in a pub feeling rather poor. He sees the man next to him pull a wad of $50.00 bills out of his wallet.

He turns to the rich man and says to him,

"I have an amazing talent; I know almost every song that has ever existed."

The rich man laughs.

The poor man says, "I am willing to bet you all the money you have in your wallet that I can sing a genuine song with a lady's name of your choice in it."

The rich man laughs again and says, "OK, how about my daughter's name, Joanna Armstrong-Miller?"

The rich man goes home poor. The poor man goes home rich.

What song did he sing? Answer below.

The next brain teaser is a “Math Visualization” problem. Here you go…


2) Visualize a cube. You know it has 6 faces, 8 corners, and 12 edges. Now, imagine a knife slicing away each corner with a straight plane cut. How many total edges are there now?


Let us know how you did!

Kelly Lance
Team Captain














1.) "Happy Birthday". This song can be sung with anyone's name in it.

2) There are now 36 edges. The original 12 edges, plus 3 more for each of the 8 corners, making 36.

Have a great day!
