Three numbers, 16, 14 and 38, need to be assigned to one of the rows of numbers below. Where do the numbers belong?
A 0 6 8 9 3 B 15 27 21 10 19 C 7 1 47 11 17
Hint: This is not a mathematical problem. The numerical values are irrelevant.
The rows indicate the shape of the number. Row A is rounded, B is mixed and C is linear. Thus, 16 belongs in row B, 14 in row C and 38 in row A.

My family sings Christmas carols at the hospital where my wife works. We do this every year and since we started, have not missed a single year. The next time we do this will be the 18th consecutive Christmas. My 15 year old daughter has been every time.
How is this possible?
She was born in March 1999 so the first year she came was December 1999 (before her 1st birthday). Her first time was when she was 0, second time when she was 1, third time when she was 2, etc…
Now that she is 15, she has been 16 times. Oh and of course she was also present in December 1998 in her mum’s belly, due to be born the next March.
So, a total of 17 times and next time will be the 18th.
Thanks to Michael for submitting this real-life brain teaser about his family.

At my start I last a mere eleven days, But change one letter and I’m over 31 years.
What am I?
One million seconds (about 11 1/2 days).
Change the “m” to a “b” to get one billion seconds (about 31.7 years).
It’s rather surprising that a million seconds and a billion seconds differ by such a large duration.

Kaitlyn’s age plus three has an integer square root. Three years ago, Kaitlyn’s age was the square root.
How old is Kaitlyn?
Kaitlyn is 6 years old.
6 + 3 = 9, and 9 has an integer square root.
6 – 3 = 3, and 3 is the square root of 9.

Why can’t a man living in Okeechobee, Florida be buried west of the Mississippi River?
Because the man would surely object to being buried since he’s living in Okeechobee.
