A brain teaser about English

Q: What question can you never answer "Yes"?

A: "Are you asleep?"

There may be other answers to this sentence, but it is definitely one of the classics. Because absolutely no one can answer "Are you asleep?" This question.

2. Q: When was the Middle Ages?

A: It's between before and after.

The Middle Ages originally referred to the Middle Ages in European history (about 500 AD-AD 1500). But the answer skillfully uses the middle meaning: middle age is the age between the previous age and the latter age.

Q: Why is the Middle Ages called the Dark Ages?

A: At that time, there were more knights.

The dark age originally refers to the "dark age" in the early Middle Ages in Europe, and the Middle Ages were called the age of knights. The answer is based on the same pronunciation of knight and night, and night and darkness also echo each other, which is very clever.

Brainstorming originated in ancient India. Brainstorming is a series of complete comic jokes published by the culture of the times on 1989 12.06, which changed from the comic question on the previous page to the unexpected answer after flipping through it. At that time, there was a social craze in Taiwan Province Province, and all the streets and alleys were asking each other brain teasers, which evolved into a pattern of cold jokes and was later introduced to Chinese mainland.
