3 Tricky Questions for Geniuses?

Question 1: A man walks into an museum and starts staring on a particular painting. The security person gets notices it and asks the man why he is staring that picture. The man replies, “Sisters & brothers have I none, but that man’s father is my father’s son.”  Who is in the painting?

Question 2: A magician claims that he can throw a tennis ball such that it would go a short distance, come to a complete stop, and then reverse itself. He also added that he would not bounce the ball off any object, or tie anything to it. How could he perform this trick?

Question 3: Sameer lives in a city which has only one barber shop and there are only two barbers. One of the barbers has a nice, neatly trimmed head of hair. The other’s hair is a complete mess. Sameer still goes to the one with messy hair. Why?

    1. He is looking at himself in the painting frame’s glass as he is the only issue of his father.
    2. Magician throws the ball in the air upward.
    3. There is a saying that cobbler always wears torn shoes, tailors wear torn cloth, so the barber with messy hair style always provides good service by cutting the hair professionally perfect.

    1- His own picture
    2- throw it in water
    3- he goes to the messy barber coz the other barber’s hair was trimmed by the messy barb

    1. He is looking at himself because your father’s son is your brother – however, he had no brother or sister hence it is himself.

    2. Not in the air. A tennis ball thrown up will travel a bit longer that a short distance. He will get in water and throw it vertically down.

    3. No one can barb himself, so the other barber who had a neatly trimmed hair was barbed this other barber whose hair is a complete mess.

        it is not him it is son. because father of the picture person is the son of the father of the looking person. so the father of the picture person is looking at the picture.

        it is thrown into the air not in water because it is not bounced. from water water it will bounce due to buoyancy. when thrown in to the air it comes back
        due to gravity which pulls it not bounce it. short distance can be achieved with lesser force

        because the barber with messy hair is more accomplished than the other.
