How many bricks does it take to complete a building made of brick?

Only one - the "last" one.

Why this works

This riddle plays with the idea of completion. While it might seem like you're being asked to count all the bricks used in a building, the twist lies in the word "complete." The answer is just one brick—the last brick placed in the structure—because it's the final piece that finishes the building. It's a clever way to challenge our assumptions about counting and completion!

Common Wrong Answers

“A thousand”

This guess assumes that a large quantity of bricks is needed to complete a building, but the riddle focuses on the concept of the 'last' brick that finalizes the structure.

“None”

This answer suggests that no bricks are needed at all, which contradicts the premise of a building made of bricks. The riddle is about the completion of the building with the last brick.

“One hundred”

While this guess indicates a specific number of bricks, it overlooks the clever play on words in the riddle that highlights the singular importance of just 'one' final brick.
