How many bounces do you think the ball will make before it comes to a stop ?

A simple logical interview question was asked to Rahul by the interviewee:
There is exactly one week between Christmas and New Year. Thus a New Year that occurs right after the Christmas, happens to occur on the same day as Christmas. But in 2030, Christmas will occur on Wednesday and New Year will occur on Tuesday.
How is that possible?
Rahul was able to answer the question. Can you?
In 2030, New Year will occur on 1 Jan 2013 and Christmas will occur on 25 Dec 2030. There is not one week but 51+ week’s difference between them. Read the question carefully again.

You are frying fishes on a pan which can accommodate only 2 fishes at one time. It takes 5 minutes to fry one side of the fish.
What is the shortest time in which you can fry 3 fishes in the same pan ?
15 minutes.
Put 2 fishes in the pan. Fry for 5 minutes and then take out one and turn the other one. Also put in the third fish. Now fry for 5 minutes. The fish that you turned must be ready now so take it off while turning the other one. Also put in the fish which was fried from one side only in the pan. Fry them for 5 minutes and all the three fishes are fried now.
