\n\tRiddles or brain teasers are a great way to practice your reading comprehension.  Here is one from Einstein (try to figure it out):\n<\/p>\n

\n\tGARDENS<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFive friends have their gardens next to one another, where they grow three kinds of crops: fruits (apple, pear, nut, cherry), vegetables (carrot, parsley, gourd, onion) and flowers (aster, rose, tulip, lily).\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThey grow 12 different varieties.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tEverybody grows exactly 4 different varieties. \n<\/p>\n

\n\tEach variety is at least in one garden.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly one variety is in 4 gardens.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly in one garden are all 3 kinds of crops.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly in one garden are all 4 varieties of one kind of crops.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tPears are only in the two border gardens.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tPaul's garden is in the middle with no lily.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAster grower doesn't grow vegetables. Rose grower doesn't grow parsley.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tNuts grower has also gourd and parsley.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the first garden are apples and cherries.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly in two gardens are cherries.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSam has onions and cherries.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tLuke grows exactly two kinds of fruit.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTulips are only in two gardens.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tApples are in a single garden.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly in one garden next to the Zick's is parsley.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSam's garden is not on the border.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHank grows neither vegetables nor asters.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tPaul has exactly three kinds of vegetable.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tWho has which garden and what is grown where?\n<\/p>\n

Riddles or brain teasers are a great way to practice your reading comprehension.
\nYou can practice not just your reading comprehension but read these aloud to another person to practice your pronunciation as well. Being comprehensible is vital to solving any riddle!<\/p>\n
