Jill and Jim live in the U.S. One day, Jim goes on a business trip to Europe. Jill misses him very much, so she calls him up. She asks Jim to take a selfie and send it to her. He agrees. Jill gets Furious as soon as she sees the picture. Jill, you're a liar. How did Jill figure it out? Europe and the US are in different time zones, but in Jim's photo, it's noon; that's American time. He never left the country. Can you find a zombie in this picture over here? What about this ski resort? Can you spot any zombies? Hello, and now let's see if you can find a zombie in this amusement park. It's hiding over here. The biggest bank in town was robbed last night. The local police investigated this case and found two suspects. They went to search their houses. The officer sees a clue and figures out who the criminal is. How did he guess? Let's take a look at the walls. There's the same picture in both houses, but this one is hanging upside down, and there's probably a stash behind it. The busted teacher has 21 colored pencils, seven of them red. Seven yellows and seven blues She needs to divide them into two piles so that one pile has three times fewer red pencils than the second one, and the second pile should have two times fewer yellow pencils compared to the first pile. How many blue pens would be in each pile? Zero. The teacher had 21 pencils, not pens. Can you rearrange these crayons and make four triangles to solve this mystery? You've got to think outside the box. Here's the correct answer. Let's make the task a little harder. Can you remove just two crayons to make two squares? Ready to see the result? Donna goes to a supermarket and spots something weird. Two of these women are pregnant, but one of them just stole a watermelon. Can you guess who it is? It's the third lady. She's wearing high heels, not what pregnant women would wear to the grocery store. Kitty wakes up in a creepy basement. She needs to open this door to escape. Can you guess the right order to press the buttons? Kitty needs to make the word unlock from the first letters of each emoji; therefore, she should press the buttons in the following order: unicorn nose Lobster onion Cactus kiss, and voila, today is Cassie's birthday. She brings a cake to work to celebrate with her colleagues. Stan Gemma and Rosie Cassie unpacks the cake in the office kitchen when suddenly Granny calls, and Cassie goes outside to talk to her. After a while, Cassie returns and finds her precious birthday cake on the floor. She questions everyone. Stan says I was sending an important email, so I didn't look at the kitchen, but I think it was Gemma. She's just pretending to be your friend. Gemma says I went to the toilet to wash my hands, and when I returned, the cake was already on the floor, and Rosie says I don't know what happened; I went to the opposite side of the room to turn on the coffee machine. I made cappuccino for everyone who's lying; the coffee machine is off and all the coffee mugs are empty; therefore, Rosie lied; she was busy doing something else while Cassie was away. Detective Bold is having lunch at his favorite cafe. He looks through the window and sees his neighbor Zelda rushing home. They both live next to the cafe. Suddenly, Zelda runs back and approaches the detective. Zelda, please help me. My apartment was robbed while I was out. I didn't touch anything. I just ran here right away to find you. Detective Bold goes to see the crime scene. He looks around and says, Stop fooling around, Zelda. There was no robbery. How did he know? Take a look at this umbrella. Zelda carried it with her when she was rushing home, but she told the detective that she didn't touch anything at the crime scene; she just threw her stuff around the room to make it look like a robbery. Take a look at this fancy group of people. One of them is a real vampire. Can you guess who it is? The second guy struggles with drinking this reddish beverage. The lady is just wearing a cosplay costume. And the guy on the right is taking a selfie, which means he shows up on camera, therefore he's a human being. Jeff calls the police early in the morning. My neighbor cut down a tree near my car. A policeman arrives soon. Policeman, what happened? My neighbor and I had a quarrel last night when I was ready to go to bed. I saw him standing in front of my car in the morning. I went out to drive to work and saw this. My car is pretty old, but he still has to pay compensation for the damage.

The police interrogate Jeff's neighbor, who says that Jeff is a bit strange; he always tries to start fights for no reason. I didn't touch the car; I slept all night. The police inspect the car and immediately understand which of the neighbors lied. Who cut the tree? Can you guess that Jeff cut down a tree with this axe and then tried to blame his neighbor for money? Mike is an astronaut; his crew consists of two other people, their twins Rob and Bob. I'm going to Mars for a month to study the local life forms. Time flies, and today they have to return to Earth. Mike goes to greet his little crew, but he finds six identical people on the spaceship. Mike realizes that the Martians can take any shape he needs to return to Earth. On this astronaut, there are three fingers; this guy's hair color is different; this cheater forgot to put human ears; and this guy has a different eye color, so the real Bob and Rob are here. What's wrong with the goalie holding the tennis racket? Also, why do they need two pucks? Shelley downloads a dating app, hoping to find new love. She likes several guys, and they start chatting and sharing selfies. All three guys claim to be single and live alone, but only one of them tells the truth. Guess who the first foreign guy sent Shelley a selfie from his bathroom? He's wearing a bathrobe, but in the background, there's another silk bathrobe hanging that's pink and small. Why does he need it?

If he lives alone and the other man is clearly wearing jewellery, he has a ring on every finger, including the ring, so he is probably married. Only the third man is telling the truth, and Shelley should give him a chance to escape from prison. As a dangerous criminal, the police are after him, and the trail leads them to a small village. They question the locals and investigate the fields, and soon they see a farmer in a corn field. The detective asks him if he saw any suspicious strangers around the farmer. Sorry, I didn't focus on what was going on around me; I was too busy with the corn. It's getting dark soon, and I have to harvest as soon as possible. The detective immediately realizes that this man is The Wanted Runway Criminal. How can the corn be left unharvested, so he can't be a real farmer? Strange details here: the phone is disconnected and the laptop has no keyboard. Do you see anything strange? Look at this man; his fishing style is pretty weird. What are they doing wrong thanks to this woman skating on the sidewalk?
