The wind is blowing from the west at 10 miles per hour.
The rooster lays an egg right on the peak.
Which side of the roof does the egg roll down?
💡 Hint
Think about which chickens lay eggs.
Reveal answer
Neither side. Roosters don’t lay eggs; only hens do.
A rooster is a male chicken, and male chickens never lay eggs. So there is no egg, and it cannot roll anywhere. The wind and the roof are pure misdirection: they give your brain a fun problem to solve so it skips the part where it should question the premise. Good logic starts by checking that the situation can happen at all.
