Not everyone is lucky enough to be working from home during the countrywide lockdown. And at such a point when negativity is all around, it is very difficult to distract oneself and be sane. That’s when I indulge in brainteasers to beat boredom and keep my brain busy. And looks like I am not alone in this.
People online have been sharing funny riddles, optical illusions, reasoning and math questions on the microblogging site to kill time, reports NDTV. Soon, #LockdownPuzzles began to trend online as people started solving them.
Here are some of them for you to try:

Try this.
