If we change the South-East direction into North and North-East into West and all others similarly.
Can you find out which direction will be in the place of South-West direction?
If South-East is changing into North, the entire direction figure is rotating 135 degrees anticlockwise. Thus, South-West will be in the place of East.

There are nine chocolates in a box. Nine people take nine chocolates with them. However, one chocolate is still left in the box.
How can that be possible ?
This is pretty simple. The last person took the box along with the chocolate inside the box. Thus, one still remains in the box.

A cricket has 6 legs, a squirrel has 4 legs and a spider has 8 legs.
In a local zoo, it was found that the total number of legs is 612. Also, there are equal number of each of the above animals/insects.
Can you find out how many animals are there in the zoo?
There are a total of 102 animals and 34 of each kind.
Since we know that the number of each animal is equal. Therefore, each cricket, squirrel and spider will be having 18 legs.
Now, 612/18 = 34 of each animal.
Therefore, number of animals in total = 34 * 3 = 102.
The following brain bat means "Slow Down".

E
V
I
G
Reading the first brain bat downwards, we can conclude the meaning "Slow Down."
Similarly, reading the second brain bat upwards, we can conclude the meaning to be "Give Up".
Can you find out the next digit in the following series ?
0, 0, 1, 3, 2, 6, 3, 9, 4, 12, 5, ?
The next number is 15.
In the given series, there is actually a pair of series. Pick the alternate digits.
One series is:
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Here the digits are progressing by one.
Second series is:
0, 3, 6, 9, 12, _
Here the digits are a multiple of 3. Therefore, the next number will be 15.
Amy was sitting in front of a clock. When she observed it for the first time, the hour hand was at a minute mark and the minute hand was six minutes ahead it.
After some time, she observed the clock again to find that the hour hand was exactly on a different minute mark and the minute hand was seven minutes ahead of its time.
Can you calculate how much time has elapsed between two observations?
When Amy first observed, the time was 1:12 and when she noticed again, the time was 3:24. Hence, 2 hours and 12 minutes have passed between two observations.
A kid goes to a confectionery and buys three kinds of chocolates. The first one is priced at 5 rupees, second one at 3 rupees and third one at 0.5 rupees.
If he bought 100 chocolates in total, how many pieces do you think he bought of each chocolate?
Let us denote the chocolates with a, b and c.
We can frame the following two equations now
a + b + c = 100 ------ (1)
5a + 3b + 0.5c = 100
or 10a + 6b + c = 200 ---- (2)
Now, 2*[(Eq. 2) - (Eq.1)]
9a + 5b = 100
from this equation"a" should be a multiple of 5
for a = 5 ; b = 11
for a = 10 ; b = 2
for a = 15 or more b becomes -ve
Therefore, the two possible answers are
a = 5, b = 11, c = 84
a = 10, b = 2, c = 88
