Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.Trick
I have all the winning lottery numbers on a piece of paper, but I still have a very small chance of winning. Why?
Answer
I have all the possible numbers (1-50) on the paper. The winning numbers will obviously be out of those numbers, but all the non-winning numbers are there as well.In other words, there are all the 50 possible numbers on the paper, so they must contain the winning numbers, as well as all the non-winning numbers.
