Common Sense and Problem Solving

The video features comedian Ben Bailey asking people logic questions to test their common sense. The first question involves a race scenario, where passing the second-place runner means you are now in second place. The second question is a trick question about a bus driver, where the answer is the age of the person solving the riddle. The video explains how our brains use mental shortcuts, which can lead to incorrect answers when relying on common sense.
