Among intellectual games in the post-Soviet space, "What? Where? When?" continues to be extremely popular.
Every week, a team of experts faces off against TV viewers who are asked to answer unusual questions.
The point is not that you have to know the answer, but that you can reach this answer logically.
That is why only such questions are offered – ones that stimulate active logical searches, and in a limited time.
Here, erudition, depth of knowledge and the ability to think outside the box are fully demonstrated.
It happens that experts can crack the most difficult problems like nuts, while easy questions leave them stumped.
This is exactly what happened to the team of the famous Belarusian expert Ales Mukhin in 2012.
Intellectuals literally got burned by a children's riddle, reports sport24.ru.
The question was: "The resident runs along with the house, the house makes noise, and the resident is silent." What or who are we talking about?
Experts decided that it was about a mollusk in a shell. Incorrect answer.
Actually, it meant fish in the river.
She is a resident. The river is a house. The river is noisy. The fish swims with the current – runs with the house.
She, the fish, as we know, is always silent.
