As you can see in the picture, 20 matchsticks have been used to form five squares. What you have to do is move two of the matchsticks in a manner that seven squares are formed.Please note that you cannot overlap the matches or break them. The squares can be on any size but they must be closed squares.
As you can see in the picture, we have just moved two of the matchsticks and now we have seven squares of 1x1, 2x2 and 3x3 sizes.
A bridge is about to collapse. There are four people P, Q, R and S on one of the side. Before the bridge collapses, they want to cross it. Now since the bridge is too weak, it can only stand the weight of two people at a time. Also, it is night time and nothing is visible. They have just one torch with them.
Now P takes one minute to cross the bridge, Q takes two minutes to cross, R takes five minutes to cross and S takes ten minutes to cross.
The bridge will collapse in seventeen minutes. How will they be able to cross the bridge before it collapses?
P and Q cross the bridge first taking two minutes.
P comes back with which makes the total time three minutes.
R and S cross this time making the total time thirteen minutes.
Q comes back with the torch making the total time fifteen minutes.
Now P and Q cross the bridge finally taking two more minutes and making the total time seventeen minutes.
Thus all were able to reach before the bridge collapsed.
You come across a man sitting on the shore of a sea. That man is holding a picture in his hands and crying. Concerned, you decide to go and talk with him.
Reaching him, you ask him, 'Whose picture are you holding?'

Can you find out the person in the picture?
The person in the picture is that man's son.
Three friends named Mr. Black, Mr. Yellow and Mr. Green enter a pub on a weekend night. They are wearing either a Black, Yellow or Green shirt.
Mr. Yellow says to them, 'Did you notice that we all are wearing different color shirts than our names?'
To this, the man who was wearing the Green shirt said. 'Wow, thats right.'
Can you identify who is wearing which color shirt ?
The answer is right in front of you. Since all are wearing different color shirts from their names, we know that Mr. Yellow is either wearing a Black or a Green shirt. But through the two statements, we already know that Green shirt is worn by somebody other than Mr. Yellow. Through this we can deduce that Mr. Yellow is wearing a Black shirt.
Now Mr. Green is definitely not wearing a Green shirt and since Black shirt is already worn by Mr. Yellow, he must be wearing a Yellow shirt.
Now we have one person left and one color left. Thus, Mr. Black must be wearing a Green shirt.
On a bright sunny day, two fathers took their son fishing in the lake. Each man and son were able to catch one fish. When they returned to their camp, there were only three wishes in the basket. What happened?
PS: None of the fishes were eaten, lost or thrown back.
This happened because there were only three people actually who went to fishing: The son, his father and his grandfather
