Brain Teasers
Mr. Tim Visits MIT
Timmie is wearing a T-shirt that says 'MIT' on the front and 'TIM' on the back. He takes it off, turning it inside-out in the process, and puts it on backward. The letters still show. What will he read on the front when he faces a mirror? On the back?
Hint
The letters can be seen through the shirt, even if it's inside out.No, Tim didn't go to MIT, he's just visiting (otherwise, he would've answered this for us easily).
Answer
Front in mirror: TIMBack in mirror: MIT
Timmie takes his shirt and turns it inside out, the front of the shirt (not in mirror) has TIM and the back has MIT.
Then, he turns it around so the front has MIT and the back has TIM.
When you view this in a mirror, it's reversed, again, so we see TIM in the front and MIT in the back (in the mirror).
