4 - Another tricky one. It would seem the paperclip is displacing the least water -- but the water hasn't distorted the scissors which suggests that they are behind the glass and not in it, making that glass the most full.



If the scissors were behind the glass of water, they would be behind a lens that most definitely would distort them.

Number 4: All of the glasses are the same size regardless of the contents.

I assume you are correct. The question states "Which glass holds more water" Assuming that they are all the same size you have to think outside the box and not think of the objects that are in (or behind) the glasses.

Thinking outside the box, Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

There is a definite answer to this question.

There were eggs for millions of years before the first chicken.

Took me a while on number 4. If the line wasn’t there I might have gotten it sooner.
Fun stuff.
As for number 8: couldn’t the “2” holes be paint spots? That’s very likely if it were my shirt😳
