20 puzzles for children that can confuse any adult: puzzles from which the brain boils

Many adults complain that when solving problems from a textbook for children or guessing puzzles, riddles, charades, their knowledge does not help them at all. Whether an adult is even a super-educated person with a scientific degree - all the solid baggage of knowledge and experience when confronted with children's riddles disappears without a trace, and it becomes completely unclear how to solve them.

Maybe that’s why they click like nuts the riddles over which adults often sit for an hour.
