13 Riddles to Help You Think Outside the Box and Keep Your Brain Active

A riddle is much more than a simple test. In addition to serving as a kind of pastime, it can also lead us to use our mind creatively and intelligently. We can all use so-called “lateral thinking”, which is a non-objective way of reasoning, different from what would be expected for a given task.

This “laterality” is usually poorly developed because, a priori, we tend to think of riddle answers more objectively.
