2.
Answer: Everest! It just wasn’t discovered yet!

3.

4.
Clue: This word is a short one, too.

4.
Answer: Short becomes shorter when you add two letters!

5.
Clue: All numbers you can see belong in one equation. These numbers can
all be written in 1 line instead of 3.
5.
Answer: The answer is 30.

There are two tricks in this question.
The first is 1 times 0. This is only a distraction. Yes, 1 times 0 is 0, but that
doesn’t affect anything else in the equation. The second trick is that the
lines ending with 1 don’t have a + sign next to them. That means they
should be combined with the following line.
Here are the numbers, all on one line:
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 11 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 11 + 1 x 0 + 1 = ?
And the answer to that equation is 30.

6.

Answer: Add a diagonal line on the top left of the first plus sign to convert
+ into a 4.
9.
Clue: Eugene was born on a very special day, which gives the answer to the
problem.
9.
Answer: Eugene was born on February 29th in a leap year. Consequently, in

other years there was no February 29th.

11.
Clue: You share it by using your mouth.

11.
Answer: A secret.
12.
Clue: The key is in the curve.

12.
Answer: Door number 1 is for words composed of capital letters written

using only straight lines, such as A, E, F, H, and I. (Therefore only the
letters AEFHIKLMNTVWXYZ are allowed through door 1). Door number
2 is for words with capital letters that have a curve (BCDGJOPQRSU).
Words that are composed of both straight and curved letters (or lowercase
letters) are not allowed in. The word ‘THAT’ would have been sent through
door number one, if the letters had been capitalized.
