Becoming an FBI agent is tough, with a test designed to measure logic, intuition, and detective-like thinking—so difficult that over 95% fail.
One famous riddle is the Killer’s Two Pills: a serial killer offers victims two pills, one supposedly deadly.
They choose first and always die, yet the killer survives. The twist? Both pills are harmless—the poison is in the victim’s glass of water.
Another puzzle, “Who is the Child’s Mother?”, asks you to identify the mother among two women watching a boy.
The mother instinctively faces her child, showing subtle protective cues. In the “Scary Drinks” scenario, a woman drinks four iced waters fast and lives, while a man slowly sips one and dies. Why? The poison was in the ice—the woman drank before it melted. In the “Cassette Player Mystery,” a man is found dead with a suicide message on tape. But the detective suspects murder: the tape was rewound, something the dead man couldn’t have done. Each riddle shows how thinking beyond the obvious can solve seemingly impossible cases.
