Brain Teasers
One Day Shopping...
Trick
Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.Trick
Sunday afternoon, Lara had some free time and some money and decided she wanted to go shopping. After about an hour, she called her mother.
"Mom, it's getting dark and I have no more money. Please come and pick me up!"
But Lara didn't buy anything. Why did she say she had no more money?

Hint
Time and money...Answer
Time is money!Instead of saying "I have no more time", she replaced "time" with "money" and said, "I have no more money."

It may have been a bit easy, but I still enjoyed it. Sounds just like a teenager! Money and time to spend it! Good job smarty!
Thank you but apparently no one likes my teaser, they all vote "no fun" on it
Hello:
This is the first time I voted boring, Maybe I did not get the teaser as I should.

This was different. I liked it.
I seriously thought all the money was spent in parking
lol
that was tricky i had to read it triple to figure it out
thank you trot wow, finaly a smile around here
Huhh? I don't get it... Who goes shopping for only one hour?
aparently Lara does
i thuoght she got mugged i didnt get it
i dont really get it, i liked you other teasers better blondie.
Hmmm... much honesty around here... well, i'm glad you speack your mind instead of going "oh super-duper teaser" and vote "boring" on it. I like this teaser, but I admit i have better ones indeed
ok...
Just one question- Why?- Why would anyone say that.
Sorry but, I've read it a few times but still don't get it. Can someone please explain?
I'm happy to explain Time=money, like in the proverb, just like 2=2 let's say. So you "can" replace the words "time" and "money" in a sentence, without changing it's meaning (metaphoricaly speaking)
i didnt get it...it was still quite good tho! made me smile...!
I'm glad i managed to bring a smile on your face, and i'm very glad you liked it
very sweet!! .........
btw can sum 1 tell me how to get the gender sign thing?

At first I thought someone stole her money, but then I read again and realized what really happened. Good teaser.
It makes sense, but I didn't really like it.
Thank you everyone, and um... is it really so hard? what didn't you understand?
wow it got me. i voted in the middle for both of them.
I am sorry you didn't like it, but thank you for likeing my others.
that was kinda dumb
that was kinda dumb
I'm am really sorry you didn't like it. I'll try to provide better ones in the future.
i liked it and i actually got it right! the hint helped.
Thank you, i'm happy you like it.
i dont reall yget y ud switch them...it confuses me but its good!
Thank you for your comment and for checking out my teaser.
I thought she forgot her money at home.
As a teenager, that would be a very low posibility. Thank's for checking out my teaser!
I like mostly all of your other teasers. This one could definately be considered a "blue period" teaser. Anyway, keep the teasers coming and try a little better next time.
FYI: I think the reason most people have voted low for this teaser is that it is very unlikely that someone would say something like that.

Thank you for your comment and for the time you put in reading my other teasers as well. Thank you for your opinion as well, i apreciate it.
I think maybe this would do better as a language teaser... because although I get it, I don't see where the trick is. *shrugs*
I like it.
I like it.
Hmm... i'm not really sure about language, but i'm glad you like it.
I was thinking taxi
i thought she spent all her money ona taxi. then she had to call her mom to pick her up because she couldnt get a taxi.... o well since when have i had a brain for teasers??? good one.
Don't worry, it happened to me cmany times, too. Glad you like it.
I was thinking that she spent all her money at the arcade!!! Not one of your best, smarty! I love your other ones, though!
Thank you, i'm glad you like my others. Well, not one of my best indeed.
Went with the Taxi
Don't worry, many did. Thanks for the comment!
That was so lame, I can't even bring myself to vote on it's difficulty.
Thank you for your comment -- maybe I can interest you in some of my other teasers?
i thought the answer was that she hadn't made any money while she was out therefore she had no MORE money ... than she did to begin with
Although it states Lara had "some free time and some money", that's an interesting solution. Thanks for the comment!
I thought she used all her money to ride the bus there, but had no more left to ride home.
I thought she got mugged by some gang.
But overall, it wasn't too bad.
Oh I get it, you forgot to mention that Lara was a flippin' idiot... Lame teaser, walk away...
Other possible answers:
-She donated the money to the Salvation Army bell ringer bucket
-She gave it to her friend to spend
-She put it in a birthday card and mailed it to her niece
How could anyone come to the conclusion listed as the correct answer? Sorry, not trying to be negative... just wasn't possible to answer. You might ask a friend or family member to proof read before submitting. Then you could keep your rating higher! I appreciate the effort though.

By the way... love most of your teasers. I remember you had a couple great logic-grid teasers (my favorities!).
SHE WENT SHOPPING WITH VERY LITTLE MONEY JUST ENOUGH TO PAY FOR THE TELEPHONE CALL, SO SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY MORE MONEY.
I thought her 'some money' was a quarter, and she used it to call her mom.
I thought she went in with no money!
Go smarty blonde!!!!
Or she could've gotten robbed or she lost it or she lent it to friend or.......
I thought that she spent money on the phone booth, until I saw the hint.
sorry, I didn't liike it.
Okay. this teaser wasn't too bad, but it had 2 flaws:
1.Too many possible answers
2.Too obscure
The teaser should have been rephrased and put as something like 'She entered with £100 pounds and still had £100'.
Overall:5/10. Not too good, but not too bad either.

Agree's with ^^^
I didn't get it.
NICE! I thought the awnser was that she got robbed! I dodn't use the hint though.
Clever
