5 puzzles and their solution

The solution to this puzzle lies in the simplicity of time: man does not have to touch the clock. As time passes, the hands start moving again and correct the time on their own. Patience is the key.

The Crossroads of Two Paths

A girl is at a crossroads with two identical paths. One leads to safety, the other to a dead end. She has no one to ask for help and no signposts. At the beginning of each path is a stone with a word engraved on it: one says “truth,” the other “lie.” At first glance, these words seem unnecessary. How can she choose the right path?

The solution lies in stones. The girl must follow the path indicated by the stone labeled “Lie” because it points in the opposite direction to reality. While the stone labeled “Truth” shows the right path, the stone “Lie” contradicts this information. By going in the opposite direction to what the “Lie” says, she will find safety.

The Secret of the Flying Umbrella

In a park, a man leans his umbrella against a bench. A few minutes later, he notices that his umbrella is missing. But he was standing facing the bench the whole time and no one approached him. The bench was surrounded by open spaces and offered no place to hide. So how did the umbrella disappear?

The answer lies in observing the surroundings. While the man was distracted, a gust of wind blew the umbrella away. This seemingly mysterious disappearance is not the work of man, but of nature.

The enclosed space: an illusion

You are locked in a windowless room with only one door. The door is locked and there is a key on the floor. However, this key does not seem to fit the lock. There is no other way out and the walls are completely bare. So how do you escape?
