5 hooligans had 100 gold coins to split among themselves. They divide it as follows:

The senior one proposes a division and everyone votes on it. Provided at least half them vote for the proposal, they split the coins that way. Otherwise, they kill the senior one and start over. The most senior (surviving) hooligan proposes his own division plan, and they vote by the same rules and either divide the loot or kill the senior one, as the case may be. The process continues until one plan is accepted.

What division would you propose, if you were the senior one? (The hooligans are all extremely logical and greedy, and all of them want to live)

Sari one solution is, First person keeps 90 coins for himself and gives 5 coins to third, and fourth.

If the first two persons are killed, and the third person gives his plan, the fifth person has to necessarily vote for him. The third person needs 2 votes. If the fifth person does not vote for him, the third will be killed. And the 4th person who is the next senior, will need only one vote which can be his own vote. So the fourth person will take all the coins, and just give bun (bun koduththal) to the fifth. So the fifth person will vote for the third. But the third person knows that the fifth person who is the youngest has no choice, so the third will simply ask for all the coins. The fifth person may get angry and say 'mavanE, enakku coinE kidaikkaa vttaalum paravaalle, unnai naan kollaama vida maattEn'. But I dont think he will do that. His point is not to kill the others, but only to get the coins. So 4, and 5 will not allow 3 to be chosen. That means they will vote for 1, or 2.

Everyone understands this point. So they will never allow the third person to win. That means they will not kill the second person. But the second person needs only 2 votes (after killing the first). So he can choose anyone from 3, 4, or 5 and give them at least some coins to get his vote. Whoever he chooses will vote for him, because he knows that the third person should not be allowed to win (excpet the third person). But, 3, 4, and 5 are not sure which one the second person will choose. But 2 may choose 5 because 5 is the youngest, and he knows that in any plan he can not get any money.
The first hooligan understands all of this. He knows that if he is killed, the second person has to choose only one more person, but the remaining people 3, 4, 5 are not sure which one will be chosen. Any one of them may be rejected (although the fifth person has more chances of being selected).
So the first person gives 3, and 4 some coins (if they choose the second guy they know that they may not get any coins at all), and gives a lot of coins for himself

Five coins is chumma. He can even give just one coin to 3, and 4. But they may get angry and vote against him.

The fifth hooligan may get more coins if the first one is killed and the second one's plan is accepted.

Two questions:
1. Why FIVE ??
2. Why not to FIFTH hooligan ??

Five coins is chumma. He can even give just one coin to 3, and 4. But they may get angry and vote against him.
The fifth hooligan may get more coins if the first one is killed and the second one's plan is accepted.

Everyone knows that if the third person gives his plan, he will take all the coins. The fifth person has no choice other than voting for third, unless he wants to kill him.
Everyone understands this. So everyone other than 3, will try to prevent 3. That means they have to vote for the plan of 1, or 2.

If 1 is killed and 2 gives his plan, he needs just one more vote. 3 will not vote for 2, because if he can kill 2, he can give his plan

. Will 4 vote for 2? Logically only if 2, and 3 are killed, 4 can present his plan. So he may vote against 2 so that he gets killed. But 4 also knows that if 3 is allowed to give his plan, he will take all the coins. So we can not say whether 4 will vote for 2 or not. But 5 will always vote for 2 because neither 3, or 4 will give him any coins. So 2 will choose 5.
The first person understands that 2 will choose 5 is he gives the plan, and 5 may think that 2 may give him more coins. So he knows that 5 may vote against him. So the first person chooses 3, and 4 and gives them a few coins

3 does not have to give anything to 4, or 5.
5 will be compelled to vote for 3 unless he necessarily wants to kill 3 (even if he does not get any coins). Because if 3 is killed, 4 needs only one vote, which is his own vote. So 4 will plan to take all the coins. 3 knows that 5 can not vote against him. And so he will not give any coins to 4, or 5. So 5 knows that only 2 can give him more coins.

Fifth is not getting any coins, whether 3 or 4 give their plans. So he votes for 3, otherwise 3 will be killed. Killing people unnecessarily is not the solution.

Nerd wrote:

So, 3 may give just a few coins to 5, who may think that it is better than not getting any coins at all. That is why 5 will think that if he votes for 2, he has the chances of getting more coins than in other cases. That is why, 1 chooses 3 and 4 and gives them some coins and keeps most of them himself
From: Nerd on Wed Dec 20 14:28:29 2006.

This is the next stage:

Now its 2. He needs one other vote. He knows what will happen if he gets executed. He knows that 4 is in trouble if he gets executed. So he keeps 99 with him and gives 1 to 4.

Now you can extend this!

It does not matter how much 1 gives to 3, and 4. I simply said five coins so that 3, and 4 dont get angry. He can keep 98 and give one coin to 3, and one coin to 4, or he can keep 90 and give 5 coins each. 3, and 4 will vote because of the nanRi uNarvu

Hi all!!! sorry I was away due to some emergency..
Lemme go thru the answers
From: Nerd on Wed Dec 20 14:32:56 2006.

1 need not give coins to 4

If 1 gets executed these are the persons who are in trouble: 3 and 5. (Since 2 as the lead will keep 99 with him and will give 1 to the 4th).

1 sees this, keeps 98 with him, gives 1 to 3rd, 1 to 5th

2 can give the coin to anyone. Why does he choose 4? Please read all of my posts

Nerd wrote:

It does not matter which 2 people 1 chooses. The people he chooses should be willing to vote for him. And 3, and 4 are the ones with high chances to vote. Because 5 will think, 2 may give him more coins. Also whether it is one or five coins is not important. I chose five coins so that 3, and 4 will not get angry
From: Nerd on Wed Dec 20 14:40:06 2006.

I am telling you the answer, TSO

Two chooses 4 because:

4 gets none if 3 is the lead and 4 does not want 2 to be executed obviously. 1 is better than a zero. You havent got the logic yet

Great logic, TSO.

There can be more answers also if thoughts are measured deeply.

Let me try to give an example:

Let me assume that I am H4 (hooligan#4). If I am voting for H1, he will reward me with some coins(ofcourse better than nothing). But H1 will give some to H3 also, which means the pichchai is gonna be shared..

But if H1 is dead, next chance will be for H2, who needs just one more vote. So, in that case, if H2 is selecting me, I may get more coins than offered by H1. That is, the entire pichchai.

I will give one clue for the answer which I read & found a bit more logical. It is 'recursion'.

Did you get the question right, Cook ?? Do you think a hooligan who is greedy will REWARD ?? It works like this:

1. The senior hooligan PROPOSES something
2. The others vote

Voting happens after the proposal

MYSTERIOUS DEATH

Bathalzar was exploring the remote parts of the Sahara desert. As he was told that no one had been to that particular district for the past 3 months, he was curious about the place. But while wandering near some rocky area, he came upon a dead body. It was of a man who was wearing a backpack. His ribs were crushed. The post mortem shows that he died suddenly, about one month ago. How did the man die ? ( It was not suicide ; the backpack still had some weeks' food left. )

The best puzzle is, the teacher marks the students red or blue on their shirt, and to find out how many students will come out after each hour!

yeh... thats a gr8 one. I posted that puzzle in like 20th or 30th page and the answer came somewhere out of the blue in 90th page.

I will post an interesting version of that puzzle shortly

From: thamizhvaanan on Wed Dec 20 22:11:19 2006.

In a small town there are a certain number of married couples. In some of the couples, one of the pair
has committed adultery. Each adulterer has succeeded in keeping their
dalliance a secret from their spouse. Since it is a small town,
everyone knows about everyone else's infidelity. In other words, suppose if there are N adulterers actually, each
spouse of an adulterer thinks there are N - 1 adulterers, but everyone
else thinks there are N adulterers.

People of this town have a tradition of denouncing their spouse in
church if they are guilty of adultery. So far, of course, no one has
been denounced. In addition, people of this town are all amateur
logicians of sorts, and can be expected to figure out the implications
of anything they know.

A priest has heard the confession of all the people in the town, and is
troubled by the state of moral turpitude. He cannot break the
confessional, but knowing of his flock's logical turn of mind, he hits
upon a plan to do God's work. He announces in Mass one Sunday that
there is adultery in the town.

Is the priest correct? Will this result in every adulterer being denounced?

SouthieCook I'll try to come up with some sound logical puzlzle. Meantime you can try reading some of Hercule Poirot mysteries. I had one in my 9th class. But how Poirot unravels the mystery, that part was missing. Our English teacher divided us into groups to work out the answer. While my friends were busy scratching their heads one particular question held my attention. Poirot asks one likely suspect if he could smoke. Now this guy by his own admission was suffering from bronchitis. This guy says 'Ok'. As far as I can remember this was the first logical puzzle I solved ahead of others.

If there are no animals, and if the desert is not extremely hot or cold, and he has given all the information to his friend, then the answer is he can not wait for 3 hours because he has some serious sori on his skin and he has not brought the medicines with him. He can not tolerate the sori. So he killed himself.

You can not call the guNdaas whenever you want, because the police may be watching them. It is a secret. They agree what to do, and if you dont do it, they kill your wife.

I think this person has acted in uNarchchi vasam. If he makes a bandage from his shirt and ties it on his hand, and raise the hand above the head so that the blood does not flow easily into the hand, he can survive. When you hit the car in anger it is not an extremely unlimited force. With the force that you can hit a car, it will only be a minor cut. Car is not made of karungkal.
If he applies enough pressure that the blood does not leak then he can live

Hi all !!

Here is one to start/end the day..
If anybody has any lighter ones, please post them in between.

A man living in a desert sends his servant to plant a flag four miles away from his home base. To survive, the servant must consume a quart of water every mile, but he can only carry five quarts with him at any time. Because they live in the desert, it is necessary to conserve water. How can the servant travel four miles, plant the flag, and return home, consuming as little water as possible?

From: temporary sori-Observer on Fri Dec 22 10:27:30 2006.

Vaanga Cook

Does he drink any water when he comes back?
From: ts on Fri Dec 22 10:36:42 2006.

He does 2 trips in total . First trip he carries 5 quarts and goes 2 miles and leaves 1 quart there 1 quart at 1 mile and comes back. 2nd time he carries 5 quarts. walks up 4 miles, plants the flag has his 5th quart at 3 miles, and the ones from previous trip at 2 and 1 milestones and back home.
From: temporary sori-Observer on Fri Dec 22 10:47:53 2006.

If he drinks water when he comes back this is the answer.

Carry 5, and walk one mile and drink 1 bottle. Now you have 4 at one mile from the house.
Come back home. You have traveled one mile back now. Drink 1 bottle from the house
Carry 3 and walk one mile and drink 1 bottle after reaching there. Now you have 6 at one mile from the house.
Carry 5, and leave 1 bottle, and drink 1 bottle every mile, and after reaching 4 miles from the home plant the flag, and come back drinking 1 bottle for every mile.
When you are 2 miles from home, and drank you will be empty. But when you reach 1 mile from home there will be a bottle. After drinking that you can go back home, and drink 1 bottle from home

There was a bus conductor, who was very rude to his passengers.

One day a beautiful young girl, of around 18 years, tried to board the bus, but he didn't stop the bus. Unfortunately the beautiful young girl came under the bus and died on the spot. Angry passengers took the conductor to the police station, who in turn took him to the court.

The judge was not at all impressed with him and gave him capital punishment. He was taken to the electrocution chamber. There was a single chair in the center of the room and a single banana peel at one corner of the room. The conductor was strapped to the chair and high voltage current
was given to him. But to everyone's amazement, he survived. The judge decided to set him free, and he returned to his profession.

A couple of months later, an elderly gentleman tried to board the bus. This time the conductor, remembering his earlier experiences, stopped the bus. Unfortunately the elderly gen! tleman slipped and died due to is injuries. The conductor was taken to the police station and then to the court, to the same judge. Though he hadn't done anything wrong, but considering his past record the judge decided to set an example and gave him capital punishment.

The conductor was again taken to the same electrocution chamber where there was a single chair in the center of the room and a single banana peel at one corner of the room. He was strapped to the chair and high voltage current was given to him. This time he died instantly !!!!!!!!!!!

The question is why didn't he die on the first occasion, but died instantly the next time??
From: southiecook on Mon Dec 25 19:04:45 2006.

Did he become a good conductor after the first incident ?

Mysterious Death

A serene river flows beneath a tall bridge. There's silence all around. But this stillness is not of the living, but of death. For there are two corpses on the stone laden ground near the bridge. There's just a pile of rope near the corpses. We know that these two persons did not commit suicide. There's no jungle nearby, so a wild animal couldnt have killed them. There are no bullet or knife injuries on the bodies. No poison bottles, pills, etc. Assume that no one else came that way for atleast a fortnight. They were both healthy persons in the prime of their life. So they didnt die of heart attack or similar reasons.

Clue : both of them were sportsmen for which they had the equipment with them at the time of their death.

What was the cause of their death ?

Parakrama Buddhiveer is color blind from birth. He is not blind He can not drive where there are traffic lights as he can not identify red, or green properly. But he drives within 2 miles of his house where there are no traffic lights, to go to the shops nearby. Once he fell ill for 2 weeks, and later went to the Jalebi shop which was a mile away from his house, in his car. But within these 2 weeks a new traffic light had come in that area on that road. Even though Parakrama Buddhiveer got tensed and angry that this will become a big problem for him, he reached the Jalebi shop safely. There were a lot of other vehicles on the road, and it was not possible for him to guess whether the signal was red, or green. Please explain.

Parakrama Buddhiveer drove a monster truck. Drivers, cyclists and pedestrians fled in terror at his vehicle's approach - and their terror only multiplied when they saw the fierce expression on his face (he was a descendant of the fabled warrior Parakramabahu). Cars which did not flee were simply crushed under his truck's wheels.

This is a faaast growing thread. Everyday someone will be posting some puzzle and we keep answering. The puzzles can be purely logical / lateral / mathematical / rebus / cryptograms or even a kadi Sometimes when we are short of puzzles, we create our own questions and wait for innumerous creative answers which are hilarious.

Zaheer khan is a very pious person and goes to a mosque regularly for his prayers. One day, a villager was surprised to see him in a temple, praying and reciting some shlokas. The news spread in the village instantly and the panchayat was called. Zaheer khan swore on his cricket ball that he did not go to the temple. The villager swore on his paatti that he has seen Zaheer khan inside the temple.

Hi all !

Here is a puzzle.

Three Gods A, B, and C are called, in some order, True, False, and Random. True always speaks truly, False always speaks falsely, but whether Random speaks truly or falsely is a completely random matter.

Our task is to determine the identities of A, B, and C by asking three yes-no questions; each question must be put to exactly one God.

The Gods understand English, but will answer all questions in their own language, in which the words for "yes" and "no" are "da" and "ja", in some order. We do not know which word means which.

WBBL Smile

The questions should be framed such as that irrespective of the way we interpret da and ja there should be no ambiguity in determinig who is who ? That is when we associate a particular trait with say A there should be no confusion in determining B or C .
Taking this into consideration I think the following will do

:
1. A : Are you true?
2. B : Is A speaking the truth?
3. C : Is B speaking the truth

From: thimuru on Tue Jan 9 7:08:00 2007.

rocketboy...i thought abt it!
but consider first GOD told truth as "yes" and second god saying false as "no"

it may be the other way round too...the first god may be "false"(B) and the secong GOD may be "true"

i think u get it!

u are suppsing to know one GOD ALREADY!
From: southiecook on Tue Jan 9 8:57:27 2007.

Vanakkam ellorukkum

Here are some bonus details:

*** It could be that some God gets asked more than one question (and hence that some God is not asked any question at all).

*** What the second question is, and to which God it is put, may depend on the answer to the first question. (And of course similarly for the third question.)

*** Whether Random speaks truly or not should be thought of as depending on the flip of a coin hidden in his brain: if the coin comes down heads, he speaks truly; if fails, falsely.

*** Random will answer 'da' or 'ja' when asked any yes-no question.

Zaheer khan, as we all know, is a brilliant cricket player. But he is suffering with multiple personality disorder and enters and prays in his village temple, when he is having the personality of Kumble. Knowing this, the temple management asked all the Pujaris to inform if Zaheer enters the temple because they didn't want a major clash and fighting in the village. One day, the Pujari saw Zaheer enter the temple, and chanting mantras and reciting shlokas as usual. He was not a new Pujari. Still, he did not inform anyone about it. Why?

'vaandu' means ?
From: Erica on Fri Jan 12 13:19:21 2007.

ok.......... two more possibilities

1. Zaheer introduced himself to the Pujari as Kumble
2. the Pujari was Off-Duty so didn't care to inform

Vaandu means ur kutty paiyan
From: southiecook on Fri Jan 12 13:23:51 2007.

Nope to both, Erica. But your 2nd answer ==>

oh ok He is doing great
From: temporary sori-Observer on Fri Jan 12 14:33:18 2007.

VaNakkam MakkaLE.

The Pujuari prevents Zaheer from entering the temple. But Zaheer says that even though he has entered the temple many times in the past because of his disease and created fights in the village, a few weeks ago Lord GaNEsh came in his dream and cured him. So Zaheer immediately converted and became a Hindu. His new name is Sambashivan. He also shows a certificate to the Pujari which shows that he has converted. So the Pujari allows him to pray in the temple.

Atiroopa Sundari and Ranadheera Raghuvaran were kidnapped by Muniveera Muththappan. He locked them in separate rooms that are next to each other. They could not see each other. And the walls were made of some material that will not allow any sound to pass through. Both of them were shouting for help, and also shouting to find out whether Muniveeral Muththappan has killed the other person. But they could not hear each other. But after shouting for a long time, they were able to hear each other. Please explain.

Good answers Wibhs and TSO , but the answer in my mind was the following

The kidnappers got the 5 crores from Zaheer's parents and Zaheer was released. But immediately, those kidnappers were kidnapped by another gang of kidnappers and the first gang had to pay the entire ransom to the second gang to save their lives.
I don't know if any of them kidnapped Zaheer again or not

Like this, found that for 5 steps it is 8 and for 6 it is 13

Then, thought about combinations etc, first thought about nc2-(n-2) and few other relations, but was not working. Then in between noticed that f(n) is f(n-2) plus f(n-1). i.e., for e.g., the no. of ways for 5 steps is actually that for 4 steps plus that for 3 steps, which is the Fibonacci series

k... here goes my lil explanation

When you are in nth step, to reach there you could have come from (n-1)th step or (n-2)th step. So the number of ways in which you can reach nth step is the sum of the no of ways to reach (n-1)th step and (n-2)th step. When you extend this concept to the beginning, we can see that it is nothing but fibonacci series.

now the 2nd method is the raw method i used to solve abt a yr ago ... it uses pure combinations.

8 steps can be covered in (8,7,6,5,4) movements. the total no. of ways is calculated as shown below:

8 movements -- 8 single steps -- 1 way
7 movmts -- 6 single steps, 1 double step -- 7C1 = 7 ways
6 movmts -- 4 singles, 2 doubles -- 6C2 = 15 ways
5 movmts -- 2 singles, 3 doubles -- 5C2 = 10 ways
4 movmts -- 4 doubles -- 1 way.

8C0 + 7C1 + 6C2 + 5C2 + 4C0 = 34

When we climb steps the time taken and the energy spent make one way different from the other.
In my answer the results of 7C1 is taken as one combination, 6C2 is taken as just one combination, and 5C2 is taken as just one combination because each one takes a specific time.

That is why my answer was 1 + n/2. You can verify that for 8 steps by substituting '1' for 7C1, 6C2, 5C2

. Finally he lands in antarctica. Unfortunately he catches cold, as a result gets a fever and goes into bedrest for the rest of the days. So, the mission meets an abrupt end and namma TSO comes back Cry2

There is a bug in this story. Can anyone please identify it? Very Happy

Here is an easy one:

Rocketboy invited me to play a game. He explained the rules as follows:
1. First I will say a number between 1 and 10
2. Then you should say a number that is atleast 1 higher than the number I said and at most 10 higher.
3. I will also follow the same rule and will say the next number.
4. We shall continue doing this until someone says 50. The one who says 50 will be the winner.

I said, i will start and I won. What was the number I started with?
From: southiecook on Thu Jan 25 18:14:32 2007.

Try this :

Once all the scientists decided to play hide-n-seek. Einstein is the one who has the den. He is supposed to count upto 100 and then start searching for the others - whoever is sighted will be the next den. Everyone starts hiding except Newton, who just draws a square of 1 meter and stands in it right in front of Einstein. Einstein starts counting upto 100. He opens his eyes and finds Newton standing in front, and declares that Newton is out. But Newton denies it by claiming that he is not Newton. The scientists demand a proof from Newton which he does to everyone's satisfaction. How does Newton prove that he's not Newton ?

Hee hee..RaNadheera I has 2 children - Ranadheera II and Roopavathi II. RaNadheera II has 2 children - Ranadheera III and Roopalakshmi II

RaNadheera-I met with an accident when he was driving his car. His wife, and both his children were in the car. The children did not face any injuries. RaNadheera-I lost his consciousness, and his wife Roopavathi-I was in serious condition. They were taken to the hospital. RaNadheera-I's consciousness came back after a few hours. He wanted to see whether his wife was safe. The doctors took RaNadheera-I to his wife's room and showed that in big bandages and told that it will take one more month for her to get better. RaNadheera-II, felt sad and left the hospital. He went to his friend's house where his children(RaNadheera-III and Roopalakshmi-II) were playing. He went back home with his children. But his wife (Roopalakshmi-I) was home, without any bandages, or injuries!

1. He starts and ends 2 common English words. One painfull in love, One painfull in everyday matter. Do you know what 2 words I must be?

2. There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

3. The word CANDY can be spelled using just 2 letters. Can you figure out how?

4. What is the next 3 letters in this riddle?

5. A woman shoots her husband.
Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes.
Finally, she hangs him.
But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How can this be?

6. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?

7. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!

Pardon me if dis puzzle is already askd.

Two perfect logicians, S and P, are told that integers x and y have been chosen such that 1 < x < y and x+y < 100. S is given the value x+y and P is given the value xy. They then have the following conversation.

P: I cannot determine the two numbers.
S: I knew that.
P: Now I can determine them.
S: So can I.

Given that the above statements are true, what are the two numbers?

P: I cannot determine the two numbers.

It means that the number xy is not a product of prime numbers. So it cant be factorised into two just two unique numbers x & y.

Quote:

S: I knew that.

For him to know this, the value in his hand (x+y) should be a number such that it cant be split into two prime numbers.
Any even number greater than 2 can be expressed as sum of two primes, so it cant be an even number.
The answer is an odd number that cannot be expressed as sum of two primes.

Quote:

P: Now I can determine them.
S: So can I.

Given that the above statements are true, what are the two numbers?

There may be more than one answer but my initial guess is, x=2, y=9.

When P sees xy= 18, he knows that x+y can be either 2+9=11 or 6+3=9.
When S says that he knew that P will struggle, P realizes that the sum must be 11. (if the sum was 9, S cant be sure that P doesnt know the answer coz, P may have got xy=14, which gives a straight shot at x=2 & y=7)

There must be other answers too Confused

TSO, P only knows the product. So he will be knowing only the number 14. for which there can be only two possibilites, 2*7 or 1*14. Since 1 is out of question, he will be sure that the numbers x & y are 2 & 7 respectively

if P got 28, he knew the nos r 4 & 7.

As TSO said, he cant be sure until the moment S says that he is unsure. When he says so, P will be able to to guess the number. But as you pointed out, S cant determine the answer. May be I didnt use the 4th statement while arriving at the answer

for sum =11, the pairs are
(2,9) - product 18
(3,8) - product 24
(4,7) - product 28
(5,6) - product 30
And its not possible for S to choose among these.

The next odd number that cant be split into primes is 17. For sum=17, the pairs are,
(2,15) - product 30
(3,14) - product 42
(4,13) - product 52
(5,12) - product 60
(6,11) - product 66
(7,10) - product 70
(8,9) - product 72

Suppose if P got 30, in step 3 (after S admitted that he knew that P didnt know), P cudnt have guessed the answer coz both (2,15) & (5,6) add up to an add number that cant be divided into primes. So he cant choose between the two factors.

If P got 42, P still cudnt have guessed the number coz (2,21) adds up to 23 and (3,14) adds up to 17. Same as above

If P got 52, the possible factors are (23,2) (13,4). Among this he can easily chose (13,4) coz 23+2 = 25 can be split into prime numbers.

60 = no such factors exists that wud sum up to such an odd number

For the rest of the numbers more than one product exists such that their sum leads to an odd number that cant be divided into primes.

66 = (6,11) (2,33)
70 = (7,10) (2,35)
72 = (3,24) (8,9)

So, both P and S can guess correctly only when product is 52 and sum is 17. x = 4, y = 13.

PS: My previous answer was correct if S hadnt guessed correctly

Another one. If u cud solve dis, u cn do d famous card magic in stage shows.

Two information theoreticians, A and B, perform a trick with a shuffled deck of cards, jokers removed. A asks a member of the audience to select five cards at random from the deck. The audience member passes the five cards to A, who examines them, and hands one back. A then arranges the remaining four cards in some way and places them face down, in a neat pile.
B, who has not witnessed these proceedings, then enters the room, looks at the four cards, and determines the missing fifth card, held by the audience member. How is this trick done?
Note: The only communication between A and B is via the arrangement of the four cards. There is no encoded speech or hand signals or ESP, no bent or marked cards.

Dis is mre easier than the previous one. Esp wit the help of the note given, u cn easily crack dis.
From: temporary sori-Observer on Sat Jul 14 9:44:39 2007.

GP,

When 5 cards are drawn at least one of the cards has to be of the same 'sign' as one of the other cards. A always gives that card to the audience which has the same sign as at least one of the remaining 4 cards. He keeps that sign on the top, so that B knows it.
If the outside of the card has the picture of an actress , A will keep it straight, or invert it, to represent zero, or one. With 4 cards any number between 0 - 15 can be represented.

When 5 cards are drawn at least one of the cards has to be of the same 'sign' as one of the other cards. A always gives that card to the audience which has the same sign as at least one of the remaining 4 cards. He keeps that sign on the top, so that B knows it.

3 cards vechu 6 possibilities (3!) thaan generate panna mudiyum. So naalavadhu card'um irundha dhaan identify panna mudiyum

But the 4th card position is fixed. But still, since there are atleast two cards from the same same, we can double the set of possibilities generated by either putting the smaller card first or bigger card first.

Since the exact number of the cards are unknown, we can use relative ranks instead. Lowest value card will be numbered 5 and the highest value will be numbered 3. Numbers 1 & 2 are reserved for the first card. If the smallest number of the suite that is in abundance is placed first, the first digit will be 1. If not, the first digit will be 2. The rest of the cards are ranked seperately from 3 to 5.

So, the total number of combinations that are possible in each position is:

2 3 2 1

So total number of combinations is 2 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 12. So each card can be assigned an unique 4 digit number and the 4 cards can be arranged in such a way so as to reflect the 4 digit number.
From: sgokulprathap on Tue Jul 17 5:32:27 2007.

TV. U ALMOST got it.
The solution is simpler than dis.
Imagine the 13 face values (Ace to King) arranged in a circle. The shorter path between two cards, counting forward from one card to the other, is never more than six places. Therefore, A chooses to retain a card that begins the shorter path, and hands the other card to the audience member.
So it is easy to form 6 possibilties from 3 cards.
From: sgokulprathap on Tue Jul 17 5:43:20 2007.

SOLUTION TO THE CARD PUZZLE

The solution presented below is possibly the simplest. It is not the only solution, but it perhaps demands the least mental effort from the magicians.

In any group of five cards, there must be at least two of the same suit. A selects one of the cards from a duplicate suit and hands it back to the audience member. The other card (or one of the others, if there is more than one) is placed first in the set of four, and will indicate the suit.

Next, think of the remaining three cards as Low, Medium, and High values (their actual values don't matter.) Any pre-agreed order will suffice; for example, ascending face value (Ace to King), with the suit used as a tie-breaker, if necessary. We could use an alphabetical suit order: Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades. So, for example, 3S would come before 7C; and, using the tie-breaker, 7C would come before 7H. Hence the Low-Medium-High ordering in this case would be: 3S, 7C, 7H.

Given Low, Medium, and High, we can encode a number between one and six as follows:
LMH = 1, LHM = 2, MLH = 3, MHL = 4, HLM = 5, HML = 6.

This still leaves us short, as the hidden card could be one of 12. However, there is one opportunity to impart information we have not yet used: A gets to decide which of the cards from the duplicate suit to retain, and which to hand back to the audience member. How can the retained card be used to indicate more than just the suit?

Imagine the 13 face values (Ace to King) arranged in a circle. The shorter path between two cards, counting forward from one card to the other, is never more than six places. Therefore, A chooses to retain a card that begins the shorter path, and hands the other card to the audience member. B uses the encoded number to count forward from the first card in the hand of four. i.e. B first check whther the 3 cards r arranged in LMH or LHM or MLH or MHL or HLM or HML format and adds the corresponding decoded number to the first card (in circular manner) and announce the number of the card audince has.

Example:
the audience member selects the following cards - 2C, 5D, JC, 5H, KS - and passes them to A. The only duplicate suit is clubs. Counting forward from JC to 2C is four places, so A retains JC and hands back 2C to the audience member. (If u count from 2C to JC, it wil be 10 places, so A SHOULD NOT give JC to audience member). The first card in A's hand will therefore be JC. Of the other three cards, 5D is Low, 5H is Medium (using the suit tie-breaker), and KS is High. To represent four, A uses the ordering MHL. So the four cards are: JC, 5H, KS, 5D.

To decode, B notes that he must count forward from JC. He notes that the natural ordering of the other three cards is: 5D, 5H, KS, and so the cards 5H, KS, 5D represent ordering MHL, which encodes the number four. He therefore counts forward four places from JC and announces the two of clubs!

GP.. othukka mudiyadhu .... I GOT IT ennoda method thaan easy. Let the magician have a lookup table in a bit paper or let him memorise. Then it is a simple matter of looking against the corresponding row.

If the card that he hands back is the smaller among the two cards of the same suit, first number will be 1. Or else it will be 2.

Depending upon wether the other three cards are placed in ascending, descending or mixed order, we can have the other three numbers anywhere from 345 to 543. so 2 x 6 = 12 4 digit numbers irukkum. adhukku corresponding card'a guess panna podhum

This is an easier question.

There are 40 match sticks laid out on a table. You are competing against a smart fellow. The objective of the game is to pick maximum of 6 sticks at one go. Then the next person does the same and it goes on till all the sticks are taken. The one who picks the last match stick wins. One cannot skip his turn and he can take any number of sticks from 1 to 6.

So given a choice, will u start the game to ensure that u win. Wat will be the strategy to follow?

From: rajraj on Wed Feb 6 23:00:12 2008.

Some more help:

9x16 = (3x3)(4x4) = (3x4)(3x4) = 12(3x4) = 2x6(3x4)
= 6(3x4) + 6(3x4)

= (1+2+3)(3x4) + (3+2+1)(3x4)

= (3x4)............................+(3x4)+(3x4)+(3x4)
+(3x4)+(3x4)....................+(3x4)+(3x4)
+(3x4)+(3x4)+(3x4)...........+(3x4)

(piece 1)...................... (piece 2)

If you take two cards measuring 9x16 and 12x12 you will get four identical pieces. I came very close to the solution!

Don't feel embarrassed. I was given this puzzle by a classmate in 1957 when I was a second year engineering student. Since then I have been posing this puzzle (for 50 years). Only two solved the puzzle after being asked ' How do you get twelve 3x4 rectangles'. Nobody solved it without that clue!

Surprised to see it so familiar I searched for the paper I had tried it on as soon the puzzle was posted- and there it is: the same divisions & rearrangement! I remeber being too preoccupied with so many things at that time (lately) to arrive at the final step of comprehension, a hasty decion of failure, sheer laziness, a flighty minded old lady I am turning into!

:O Sorry raj sir, I somehow missed ur reminder post the last time i posted in this thread

Ya, I did try solving this puzzle for a long time, without much success

But by then the thread had advanced far too many pages and I thot wether anyone will remember it if i raise a doubt in it.

Now, your clue certainly helped

Earlier I tried something very similar but with a matrix of 1" x 1" cells and no wonder i failed

Now I will try to phrase the solution the way I understood it.

Solution:

The target matrix is very similar to source matrix except that it is having one column extra and one row less. So cut the rectangular matrix diagonally, but in a step cut (pardon my weird jargons

).i.e, after the cut one half will have 4 cells in last row, 3 cells in 2nd last and so on. Vice versa for the other half. Now move the top half a step to the right and one step down to again fit with the parent half. Now there should be one row less and column extra.

Raj, I found this exercise fairly simple after seeing ur clue

And only later i realized that I have come across something similar but with a slightly different proportion.

For those who have followed my explanation so far with diligence and duly rewarded with utter confusion

, the following link may help. Its the same puzzle with a different aspect ratio and the author has used it as a illusion. I hope you get the step-cut-joint process after seeing this

So people are still interested after all
A man wanders around a building trying to find his lost keys. In a moment or two people hear the sound of a firecracker go off and smell smoke. The fire department is called. What did the man do?
1. Yes, he was the ONLY person responsible for the fire
2. He did not have lighters/matchsticks

Another weird idea: Are there 'muLLu murungai' trees in Australia? As kids we use to rub its nutlike seeds on the ground & suttufy others! (Am still in surprise about this characteristic of those seeds.) Perhaps he picked these seeds & gathered dried leaves & managed to create fire! But the firecracker sound? Am stretching my imagination too far!!!!!!

From: rocketboy on Tue Jun 24 5:10:44 2008.

One possible explanation. That man realizes he has lost his keys and there is no way he can get into the house without those keys. Out of sheer frustration , he takes a stone and aims it at one of the sodium vapor lamps near the building. The lamp breaks and the amalgam of sodium falls into a puddle of water which has formed just below the lamp . We all know how sodium reacts violently with water . Even a tiny pellet of sodium when put into water will give out a crackling sound and the reaction produces a lot of heat . Those in the building assumed that they were indeed listening to exploding firecrackers. But not sure if the sodium used in these vapor lamps are in their raw native form. In all probability they can be inert too

try this easy puzzle

A man lives on the tenth floor of a building. Every morning he takes the elevator down to the lobby and leaves the building. In the evening, he gets into the elevator, and, if there is someone else in the elevator - or if it was raining that day - he goes back to his floor directly. Otherwise, he goes to the seventh floor and walks up three flights of stairs to his apartment. Can you explain why?
From: littlemaster1982 on Sat Jul 12 4:29:51 2008.

He is very short that he cannot reach the button for 10th floor. If there are others, he would ask them for help. Otherwise he can reach the button for 7th floor only.

I haven't read this rain part before. Guess he would use umbrella for pressing 10th floor button.

I know everyone has done this before, but how about throwing in a little bit of math?

The question is very simple... If there are X green frogs and Y brown frogs waiting on the opposite shores, how many moves (clicks) are required for the frogs to swap their positions?

should I answer this? no one is interested in equations? Crying or Very sad

The answer goes like this, for X green frogs to reach the right extreme.. it has to make (Y+1) hops ... (Y number of positions occupied by brown frogs plus one vacant position. Vice versa is true for brown frogs.

So total number of hops = X * ( Y + 1) + Y * ( X + 1) = X + Y + 2*XY

But to completely swap the frog's positions we neednt do so many moves, bcoz when a frog jumps over another frog, the equivalent of 2 hops is being executed with a single move.. so from the above equation we need to subtract the number of "frog jumps" made.. which turns out to be X*Y (X frogs over Y frogs)

So the resultant no. of hops = X + Y + XY

Hope this makes sense

It costs 1 pound to purchase ONE
it costs 2 pounds to purchase TWO
It costs 5 pounds to purchase ELEVEN

How much would it cost to purchase TWELVE

Let me see if i can rephrase this to make it sound better.

What would be the maximum cost to purchase a TWELVE?
From: pavalamani pragasam on Wed Oct 29 0:27:40 2008.

The answer is 6!
1 pound for ONE, 5 pound for 11, adding both we get 6 for TWELVE: arrived by my youngsters.(Last night I was too sleepy to register their explanation ).
From: sgokulprathap on Fri Oct 31 3:26:18 2008.

A very very simple one.

Ann purchased a house for Rs. 206798.
She wants to sell it for a profit of exactly 14%.
However, she does not want to sell it herself. She wants a Real Estate Agent to sell it for her.
The Agent must make a commission of exactly 5.7% (in addition to Ann's 14% profit).
How much must the Agent sell the house for?

answer u gv is 249187.50.
5.7% of dis is 14203.68 (for agent).
profit to Ann after giving commission is 249187.50-206798-14203.68=28185.77, which is only 13.6% profit for Ann.

but she has to make 14% profit.
