Brain Teasers
A Day of Visiting #2
Trick
Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.Trick
Today, Frederick and his mother decided to go on another trip together. This time, they saw a murder, and then a mob moving past them. This mob seemed to ignore both of them, so Frederick and his mother chose to focus instead on the troop standing nearby. This troop wasn't very interested in them either or the murder or the mob; rather they preferred to wonder when they were going to have some food because they were getting hungry. Frederick suddenly got excited and said, "Look mummy, there's a charm in the tree!" His mother replied, "Yes Frederick, there is. Just leave it please." Not far from the troop, they both watched an army sitting by the lake, but heard a cry in the distance. Frederick and his mother looked in the direction of the cry but saw another murder! All in all, they had a very happy day together.

Great one! I had no idea what you were on about! It made sense once I read the answer!
That was fun, but I wasn't able to get the answer. Needless to say, American farms are very different from Australian farms (especiaaly the kangaroos).
I thought it fun and good. Thanks
I got confused if I was reading it right. When I looked at the answer I understood instantly. Nice.
Thanks guys for the mostly positive comments.
Myke...I think I've exceeded a the 'newbie' status as you so unkindly put it. Further, for someone who has been on Braingle in excess of 3 years, I would have thought you may have taken the trouble to write at least ONE teaser of your own, so we can all learn how to do it correctly!
We can, however, learn from your NEGATIVE ratings can't we.
Have a good day.

So much angst over a silly little teaser.

That was a beaut teaser jazz! I had no idea where it was going!
Shouldn't they be at a zoo not a farm? lol
clearly you haven't been to an australian farm!
very cute. i thought they were watching a movie
That was SO hard. But once I read it, and reread it, I laughed at myself for not getting it!!
I thought it was a war reinaction or something.
Hahaaa.
I like this one.

I didn't get all the answers for all thr groups, but I knew what you were driving at -

Thanks for those lovely words of encouragement Jessica. I just enjoy this site - it's virtually hassle-free in comparison to some of what one can find on the internet.
i liked that Jazz u should keep makin more!!! i didnt get it at all until i read the answer..though i knew it had 2 do with animals
Thanks for that.
Wouldnt have gotten it without the answer!!!
i said that they were in a zoo...well, i was close!! great teaser!
I've heard of a "herd" of horses, but never a "Troop". oh well. maybe i should read more?

I did a very similar teaser a while ago, where the trick was that they were collective names for different species of animals, and interestingly enough, the first one I used in the teaser was a murder of crows! So when I saw that they saw a murder, a got instantly what was going on.
lol great teaser! i figured they were playing clue or something and they had figuerd out who the murderer was or something. but... guess not!!!!
Very inventive! At first I was confused b/c they witnessed a murder but weren't questioned about it. Thinking about that, I remembered "a murder of crows" and the rest was highly enjoyable. Great job!!
I thought they where going to a movie
I knew about the murder and mob, but I didn't know the others. Good one though!
Wait a minute, a bunch of BABOONS is a troop, right?
Very good reading - I guessed it at the "mob" (of sheep!) stage, but confirmed it by the "charm". I didn't know kangaroos were in mobs, but enjoyed seeing them on my first trip to Oz earlier this year. Thanks for writing this.
i thought they goed to a shakesphere play
Lol wow!!! A kangaroo farm!
Got it really fast because I knew a lot, but the fact that there were kangaroos on a farm just made me completely LOL.
then again, this is probably a typical day in Australia.
