Brain Teaser: What to do?

On the gift table lie several attractive presents, including a makeup kit, some shoes, balloons, a pair of earrings, and even flight tickets. All looks fine at first. But if you trace where her eyes are going, you will notice she is not impressed by one of them. The trick is to connect her reaction with the gift’s usefulness. Look closely at what she is looking at; this might help you spot what she does not like.

The brain teaser presents a woman upset over one of the gifts on the table. Identify which one it is.

The Answer

The odd one is the earrings. A closer look shows she does not even have pierced ears. So earrings are of no use to her. That explains the faint frown, while the other gifts can easily make sense for her.

It might sound small, but puzzles like this sharpen the brain. They make you connect visual details with logic and emotion in very little time. That is why such teasers are popular; they test more than just plain logic, they show how well you notice.
