#85 - Famous Logical Picture Grid Puzzle
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

#88 - IAS Logic Problem
Anabelle is a clever trader of rare artifacts. Each day she carries three boxes with each filled with thirty artifacts. The boxes cant hold more than that. She travels far of northern lands to sell these artifacts but on way, she comes across thirty checkpoints where she has to shed one of the artifact for each sack to the authorities for letting her pass.
How many artifacts will be left with her when she reaches her destination crossing all the check points ?
Anabelle is no dumb trader and she knows the strategy with the help of which she will be able to save 25 artifacts even after passing 30 check points.
All she will focus on is getting rid of the boxes as soon as possible.
To shed the first sack quickest possible, she will start filling artifacts from one box to other two. Assume that she is able to do that after passing through A check points.
(Space in first box) A + (Space in second box) A = (Remaining artifacts in third box) 30 -A
A = 10
Therefore, after 10 check points, she will be left with two boxes with 30 artifacts each. Now to get rid of the second box, she will start filling artifacts from second box to first box. Let us assume that she is able to get rid of the second box after B checkpoints.
(Space in first box) B = (Remaining artifacts in second box) 30 - B
B = 15
Therefore, after fifteen check points, she will be left with one sack with thirty artifacts in it.
Since she has five more check points left, she will have to give five more artifacts and after passing them all, she will still have 25 artifacts.
#89 - Tricky Logical Puzzle
I have one of the three numbers: 1, 2 or 3 in my mind. I speak only truth. You can ask me just one question for which I will only reply in yes or no or don't know. What question will you ask from me so that you are able to know the number?
You will ask, I am thinking of a number from 2 and 3. Is the number I am thinking of smaller than or equal to the number you have in your mind?
Now, if I reply no, then the number is 1.
If I reply yes, then the number is 3.
If I reply don't know, then the number is 2.
#90 - Adobe Cool Logical Interview Puzzle
Suppose you are sitting in an interview and the interviewee asks you an aptitude question.
You have three buckets with capacity 4 liters, 8 liters and 10 liters and you have a large tank of water. Now you have to measure 3 liters of water precisely using those buckets. How will you do it?
It is impossible. The reason is that we are asked to measure 3 liters which is an odd number but the buckets we have can contain even liters of water only (4, 8 and 10). If you hoped to fill any of the bucket half, you will not be precise in measurement.
