Latest Logic Riddles

Normally, a single or unmarried girl might feel shocked with such a question. But if you are smart, you can answer, 'I will be quite excited and will ask you for an off to celebrate with my husband.'

Since the question is hypothetical, you don't have to take it in wrong manner and you can answer in the same hypothetical manner as well.

Three times is the most common answer however that is incorrect.

The small cogwheel will turn around four times.

You might already have deciphered that while turning against each other, the small wheel will turn three times (3*8) as the big wheel turns once (24 teeth). Now what we require is the big wheel to stop and the small one to turn around the big one. In this process, the small one will make another full turn on the way around the big one. Thus in total, it will make four turns.

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.

The bus is moving left because we cannot see the door of the bus in this picture.

When the trains meet, they will be approximately be equally distant from point A. Of course if you get into precise details, the train that left from point A will be closer to A by its own length as they are coming from different directions.

The correct answers are b, a, True, False and False. Also, the scores are Justin (0), Adam (1), Cabe (2), Vince (3) and Michael (4).

Since no two students were able to answer the exact number of correct answers, there can be only two possibilities
1) 1 + 2 +3 + 4 + 5 = 15
2) 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10

Now let us determine the maximum number of correct answers possible through the answers they gave.
For Question I = 2 (b or c)
For Question II = 2 (b or c)
For Question III = 4 (True)
For Question IV = 4 (True)
For Question V = 3 (True)

Now we know that the maximum number of correct answers possible are 15 (2+2+4+4+3) according to which, Adam would have given all correct answers as only he answered True for questions III, IV and V. But then Cabe and Justin would have given exactly 3 correct answers. And also, Michael and Vince would have given 2 correct answers. Therefore none of them got all the five correct answers. Thus this assumption is wrong.

The total number of correct answers therefore are 10 (0+1+2+3+4). Both Questions III and IV cannot be False as in that case, the number of correct answers would not be 10. So the student who got all wrong answers cannot be Cabe, Adam and Michael.

Suppose if Vince got all wrong, then Cabe, Justin and Michael each would have at least 2 correct answers. Thus, Adam would have to be the student with only one correct answer and in that case, the correct answers for questions I and II would be a and a respectively. But that is not possible as then the total number of correct answers would be 1 (a) + 1 (a) + 1 (False) + 4 (True) + 2 (Flase) = 9.

Thus it is Justin who has given all wrong answers. The correct answers are b, a, True, False and False. Also, the scores are Justin (0), Adam (1), Cabe (2), Vince (3) and Michael (4).

Let us assume that there were x flowers present in the basket of the pilgrim and he offered y flowers at each temple. Now as per the details given in the question, the number of flowers when he came out of the third temple.

But the number of flowers when he comes out of the third temple must be (8x – 7y)

Thus (8x – 7y) = 0
8x = 7y

Now the minimum values that you can put by hit and trial are 7 and 8 for x and y respectively.

Thus, the pilgrim had 7 flowers in the beginning and he offered 8 flowers at each temple.

He will hang painting number 200 at that time. Every time he hangs the painting, the number of it corresponds with the angle between the minute and hour hand of the clocks.
