ANSWERS
#1.
The mistake is not in the number series at all! Indeed, the misspelling of the word ‘mistake’ (mistaike) is the answer.
#2.
The missing number is 4. The number of horizontal and vertical lines in the grid are multiplied to find the answer. 3*3 = 9; 1*1 = 1, and 2*2 = 4; the missing number!
#3.
There is, of course, no ‘right’ answer to this riddle. An unofficial count of the number of potential words that can be created from the letters of the word ‘riddle’ is 13. Here they are (no, this writer didn’t know all of them!): bridled, griddle, diddler, middler, piddler, dreidel, riddled, drilled, riddler, riddles, fiddler, tiddler, girdled.
#4.
The answer is 256, the square of 16.
#5.
The answers are Rembrandt, Picasso, Monet, Michelangelo, and Raphael!
