There is bomb on top of a computer; around the computer are a hairbrush, keys, phone and a cup. When the explosion comes, what item destroyed first?

The bomb

Why this works

This riddle plays with the concept of timing and the placement of the bomb relative to the other items. The clever twist is in the wording; since the bomb is already on top of the computer, it is the most immediate threat and will explode first, before any of the other items can be affected. It challenges the reader to think about the sequence of events rather than focusing on the surrounding objects, making the bomb the clear answer!

Common Wrong Answers

“The computer”

While the computer is directly underneath the bomb, it is not the first item to be destroyed. The bomb itself detonates first.

“The cup”

The cup is not in direct contact with the bomb and would likely be destroyed by the explosion, but it is not the first item affected.

“The phone”

Similar to the cup, while the phone may be damaged in the explosion, it is not the first item to be destroyed since the bomb detonates first.
