These questions intentionally manipulate the mind of another person.
Nobody really knows the answer to the questions; people try to answer them, which is exactly what I’ll be doing here.
Only the really clever ones, or the people who think they’re clever can actually answer these.
Here’s a list of questions that will make your mind slightly confused:
What color is a mirror?
Is mirror a color? It should be! That’s my attempt to answer this question anyway.
But like I said, sometimes intelligent people do answer them. And that’s tue for this case, find out the actual color of a mirror here!
If you enjoy wasting time, is that time really wasted?
Does anybody really enjoy wasting time?
They might enjoy doing nothing, but sometimes that’s not a waste of time.
But to answer my own question, no.
If anything is possible, is it possible for anything to be impossible?
It’s likely to be unlikely, but who really knows?
If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?
Wow, I’m going to say no. It’s just a weird situation.
If you try to fail and succeed, then which have you done?
You’ve failed in life, but succeeded to fail, so well done!
Why is “abbreviated” such a long word?
Well lets face it, we have a lot of short words. I would assume they only needed to make a word to explain this when there were only long words left to use?!
Why is a boxing ring square?
Because it is, don’t argue.
Why is it that rain drops but snow falls?
Because snow is heavier than rain? That actually sounds like a good answer!
Why is it that when you’re driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?
It helps you concentrate! Although I’m sure more concentration is needed when driving fast… hmmm.
Why is the third hand on a watch called second hand?
That’s easy, it’s something to do with time being different from numbers? Okay maybe that wasn’t as easy as I thought!
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
Because everyone wants to rush home for their dinner, or so they don’t miss that TV show. But in reality, it just never happens.
Why is the word dictionary in the dictionary?
You got me there! Probably for really, really stupid people.

Why isn’t there mouse-flavored cat food?
Do cats actually eat mice? Or do they just see them as a toy?
Yes, I answered a question with another question.
Why do you need a driver’s license to buy alcohol when you can’t drink and drive?
I mean, a passport also works. But it’d be a lot worse if a pilot was drink driving!
Well there you have it, my attempt at answering the unanswerable!
I’m sure there’s many more of these type of questions out there, if you know of any more we’d love to hear them!
And if you think you could answer these questions better than I did, you’re probably right, but I gave it my best shot!
