July Answer: An Hourglass – It has thousands of grains of sand.

June Answer: The correct answer could be: Optical, Topical, Capitol or Coalpit.

May Answer: The opposite faces will be: Yellow-Red / Blue-Purple / Green-Pink.

April Answer: The instructions want you to use the statements to determine which box holds the car.

Can it be box one? No. The statements below boxes one and three would be correct. But the instructions tell us only one statement can be true.

Can it be box three? No. The statements in boxes two and three would be true if the car was in box three, so it can’t be there.

So, through process of elimination, box two holds the car. This means the only true statement is the one below three that says the car isn’t in the first box!

March Answer: A Sponge!

February Answer: They all made right-hand turns.

January Answer: 59 days. If the water level doubles every day, the reservoir on any given day was half the size the day prior. If the reservoir is full on day 60, that means it was half full on day 59, not on day 30.
