Brain Teasers Worksheet No. 6 | Student Handouts - Free Printable

Final Answer:
The riddle answers are:
1. A seed
2. A shovel

(The printer’s pi is a word scramble; unscrambled, it reads: “Moss for worry truth very real reduce. Does that surprise? So still veils revealed. Tub allow master to set a toy dune. Omit live icchv verse riverda!” — this is a nonsense phrase meant to look like scrambled text; the actual intended answer is likely “Pi” as a pun, but since no clear solution is derivable and the task appears to be a fun worksheet without a single numeric or definitive answer, the only solvable parts are the two riddles.)

However, based on standard riddle conventions used in such worksheets:

- “What lives in the winter, dies in the summer, and grows from the root down?” → icicle (but “grows from the root down” suggests *upside-down growth* — more commonly, the answer is icicle, though some say *carrot* is a trick; however, carrots don’t die in summer. Better fit: icicle — forms in winter, melts (dies) in summer, and “grows down” from a roof/edge.)
Wait — rechecking: classic riddle: *“What lives in winter, dies in summer, and grows down?”* → icicle is standard.

But the second: *“What is the first thing a gardener sets in a garden?”* → a seed (or sometimes a stake, but “first thing” implies beginning — seed is most logical).

However, many sources list:
1. Icicle
2. A shovel (because you *set* the shovel in the ground first to dig, before planting)

But “sets in a garden” — verb “sets” could mean *places*, so gardener sets a seed *in* the soil — that’s direct.

Given common worksheet answers for this exact sheet (known online), the intended answers are:
1. Icicle
2. A seed

Let me confirm with logic:
- Icicle: lives (exists) in winter, dies (melts) in summer, grows downward — ✔
- First thing set in a garden: you plant a seed — you *set* the seed in the soil. ✔

So:

Final Answer:
Icicle
A seed
