* The other coin is a perfect coin (heads on side and tail on other).
I blind fold myself and pick a coin and put the coin on table. The face of coin towards the sky is tail.
What is the probability that other side is also tail ?

case number side shown other side
1 A1 (H) A2 (H)
2 A2 (H) A1 (H)
3 B1 (H) B2 (T)
4 B2 (T) B1 (H)
case 4 is not possible so ans is 2/3

In the kingdom of skull, King Norse did not allow any citizen to visit the world outside. Also only a person with a proper paperwork was allowed to enter or he was sent back. A wooden bridge was what connected the kingdom to the world. The king had appointed a sharpshooter who would check every five minutes on the bridge to check. After checking, he would go back to his hut and return exactly after five minutes again. The bridge took 9 minutes to cross.
A merchant was able to escape the kingdom without harming the shooter.
How ?
The merchant walked across the bridge for almost five minutes when the shooter was inside the bridge. Then he turned and started walking back to the kingdom of skull. On approaching the kingdom, he was asked of papers which he never had. Thus he was sent back.
A man was gazing through the window of the 33rd floor of the building. He suddenly opened the window and jumped on the other side of the window. On landing the floor, there was not a sheer mark of injury on him.
How can that be possible if he did not use any kind of parachute and did not land on a soft surface ?
The man is a window cleaner who jumped inside of the window after finishing off on the 33rd floor.

You are given 16 witch hats. The hats are divided in four different colors – red, blue, green and yellow. Every color has been assigned to four hats. Now each of the hat will be glued with a label of an arithmetic sign – ‘+’, ‘-‘, ‘x’ or ‘/’. But you can label one sign only once on one color. In such an arrangement, the hats can be uniquely defined by its color and symbol.
Can you arrange all the 16 hats in a 4x4 grid in a fashion that no two rows and columns have a repetition of color or sign?
We have arranged four hats in the below picture to assist you.

100^2 - 99^2 + 98^2 - 97^2 + 96^2 - 95^2 + ... + 2^2 - 1^2 = ?
Since you can notice that there are fifty pairs of n^2 - (n-1) ^2,
n^2 - (n-1)^2 = n + (n - 1)
Thus 100^2 - 99^2 + 98^2 - 97^2 + 96^2 - 95^2 + ... + 2^2 - 1^2 can also be written as
100 + 99 + 98+ ... + 2 + 1 = (100 x 101)/2 = 5050
I possess two wires. Both of them have an inconstant thickness but both of them burns completely in sixty minutes. The problem is that I want to measure forty-five minutes while using these two wires.
How can I measure if cutting the wire in half is not possible due to non-homogeneous construction ?
45minutes
It is not as hard as it seems. I will burn one wire on both ends and the other wire at one end only. The first wire will burn completely in thirty minutes and at that very moment, I will burn the other end of the second wire and it will burn in fifteen minutes. Thus both of the wires will be burnt in 30 + 15 = 45 minutes.
