Can you solve the locker riddle? - Lisa Winer

He wanted to leave all of his money to you, but he knew that if he did, your relatives would pester you forever. Can you solve the riddle he left for you and get the inheritance? Lisa Winer shows how.

"And then exactly one month later, you are assassinated in your sleep."

[-undecided-]

Surely the relatives will still pester them for money anyway

[gabesmith]

I thought the whole point in the uncle Developing the riddle is to prevent family members from badgering you. Now not only will they badger you, they’ll hate you for being smarter than them

[mckaylamarille]

Easy, tell them: "Atleast one of you has green eyes." and wait 100 days.

plot twist: one of your relatives has heard this riddle before and beats you to the punch

1: confirm you have green eyes.
2: Sneak all the money into your pockets
3: Ask your relatives for permission to leave forever
4: Profit

"Pause the video now if you want to figure it out for yourself"

Me: figure out what exactly?

Homework: what's 2+2?
Exam: this video

If this was me, my uncle would have face palm in the heaven.

[henryrabideau]

My question is, if they’re my family, WHY AM I THE ONLY ORANGE ONE, my momma got some explain for to do

[suryakiranr]

After completion of the video, I took a deep breath and started to realize how poor my math skills are.

[whimsy]

Both the uncle and the lawyer have the best mustaches in the universe

[calvin]

At the end, you’d still take all the inheritance, and they’ll still pester you

[sophiesmith]

Wait- he _voice acts the lawyer??_


This narrator just gets better and better

[henkwaterlander]

Got 99 relatives, but an uncle ain't one.

[JaydentheMathGuy]

Title: Can you solve....

Me: Probably not. But I'll watch the 3 minute video anyway.

The lawyer: has a mustache
Me: that's one big smile

[rawrrslol]

What makes you think they won't pester her after she wins?
