#101 - Puzzle Boat

At the local model boat club, four friends were talking about their boats.

There were a total of eight boats, two in each colour, red, green, blue and yellow. Each friend owned two boats. No friend had two boats of the same colour.

Alan didn't have a yellow boat. Brian didn't have a red boat, but did have a green one. One of the friends had a yellow boat and a blue boat and another friend had a green boat and a blue boat. Charles had a yellow boat. Darren had a blue boat, but didn't have a green one.

Can you work out which friend had which coloured boats?

Alan had a red boat and a green boat.
Brian had a green boat and a blue boat.
Charles had a yellow boat and a red boat.
Darren had a blue boat and a yellow boat.

#103 - Unsolvable Riddle

In a contest, four fruits (an apple, a banana, an orange, and a pear) have been placed in four closed boxes (one fruit per box). People may guess which fruit is in which box. 123 people participate in the contest. When the boxes are opened, it turns out that 43 people have guessed none of the fruits correctly, 39 people have guessed one fruit correctly, and 31 people have guessed two fruits correctly.
How many people have guessed three fruits correctly, and how many people have guessed four fruits correctly

Unsolvable Riddle

It is not possible to guess only three fruits correctly: the fourth fruit is then correct too! So nobody has guessed three fruits correctly and 123-43-39-31 = 10 people have guessed four fruits correctly.

#105 - Mismatch Sum Puzzle

A bank customer had £100 in his account. He then made 6 withdrawals, totaling £. He kept a record of these withdrawals, and the balance remaining in the account, as follows:

Withdrawals Balance left
£50 £50
£25 £25
£10 £15
£8 £7
£5 £2
£2 £0
£100 £99


Why are the Totals not exactly right ?

Mismatch Sum Puzzle

There is no reason whatever why the customer's original deposit of £100 should equal the total of the balances left after each withdrawal.
The total of withdrawals in the left-hand colum may equal £100, but is is purely coincidence that the total of the right-hand column is close to £100.
Let us show another example, but starting with £200 in the bank:
Withdrawals Balance left
£50 £150
£25 £125
£10 £115
£8 £107
£5 £102
£2 £100
£100 £699
Moral of this story? Don't Total Balances.

#107 - Money puzzle

I saw a Jeans for Rs97. I dont have enough money , so i borrowed Rs50 from my mom and 50 from my dad = Rs100.
I bought the jeans, and had Rs3 change. I gave dad Rs1 and my mom Rs1 and kept the other Rs1 for myself. Now I owe my mum Rs49 and my dad Rs49. 49+49 = 98 + my Rs1 = 99. Where is the missing Rs1?

Money puzzle

It was only a trick:
I borrowed my parents (Rs50 + Rs50 = Rs100).
I bought the jeans for Rs97 and i had Rs3 change.
So, the money that i borrowed and bought the jeans are Rs100 (borrowing money)
and the change Rs3 also the borrowing money the jeans is Rs97
Total: Rs97 + Rs3(the change) = Rs100
The money that i used to buy the jeans all i borrowed.
Rs97 is the borrowing money, change: Rs3 also the borrowing money. Rs97 + Rs3 = Rs100
