Can you arrange the numbers from 1 to 9 on a tic tac toe board in a manner that the numbers in each row, column and diagonal adds up to 15. Remember that you have to use all the 9 numbers and thus you cannot repeat.
4 | 3 | 8
9 | 5 | 1
2 | 7 | 6
You all must have played Tic Tac Toe in your childhood. Lets put your skills to test. Can you place six X (crosses) in a Tic Tac Toe board without making three in a row in any way ?
Place the crosses at1,11,22,12,33,23,3Now, you have six crosses without making three in a row.
In the following picture, E is going to slide the object down and as per the terrain and the physics, the round object is going to travel all the way till the end. Now, can you analyze who all people will die when it happens?
As you can see, the person at D dies straight through the object directly. The object then travels further and the see saw thing kills the person at the C as it has spikes below that. Upon falling, over the see saw, the blue object lifts up and then kill the person at B.The solution ends here, but just for fun, The E stands for Ebola and thus the person at A dies as well.Thanks to 9gag for this gif.
A picture is attached with this question. You have to fill the grid in a manner that every row and column contains the digits 1 to 6. Also, make sure that the squares that are connected with each other must contains the same digit.Can you do it?
You can refer to the solution in the given picture.
One of the leprechaun is missing if you see the two pictures attached to this question. Where did he go? When he comes back, do you know where has he been?
Watch the video for more detail.
A dead body is found outside a multistory multinational company. The case is reported and a homicide detective is called on the crime scene.
He looks at the body and then towards the building. From the position of the body, it is evident that the victim committed suicide. He goes to the first floor of the building and then walks in the direction of the dead body, opens the window and toss a coin in the air.
He goes to second floor and again repeats the process. He keeps doing this till he is done on all the floors. Then he returns back to the floor and tells his team that it is a murder.
How in heaven did he deduce that?
He was able to deduce that after noticing that all the windows in the direction of the body on all the floors were closed. If the man had committed suicide, one window must have been left open.
Suppose there are 100 people standing in a circle. The first person has a gun in hand. What he has to do is shoot the second person and then pass the gun to the third person. Now, the third person kills the fourth person and gives gun to the fifth person.
This process is carried till there is only one person surviving. Can you find out who survives at the end ?
73rd
There is a simple logic behind solving this question. If the number of people are a power of 2, then the last person standing will be the person who started it.
Now, here we have 100 people. Thus, we will take the highest power of 2 which is less than the total number which is 64.
100 - 64 = 36.
This means that 36 people are killed.
If you go on with the series of even numbers, the 36 people will end at 72 (2, 4, 6, ..., 72). Thus the gun will be in the hand of 73rd person. Now the remaining people are 64 which is the power of 2. Thus the person who will survive in the end will be the 73rd person since he is starting it.
The question that follows came in the UPSC final exam that was held in December 2013. Only one examinee i.e. Gaurav Agarwal was able to solve it. Can you solve it?
? + ? + ? + ? + ? = 30
You have to fill numbers in place of question marks. The numbers that you can use are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15. You can repeat the numbers if you like.
The answer is
(15 - 9) + (13 - 7) + (7 - 1) + (9 - 1) + (13 - 9)
If you calculate it, you will get
6 + 6 + 6 + 8 + 4 = 30
A fresher was sitting in an interview. The interviewer said, "This is the last question of your interview. Tell me the accurate position of the center of this table where your resume is kept."
How can he answer this question? What will you have answered to such a question?
Put your finger confidently at a supposedly center point of the table and tell him that this is the exact center point.
The interviewer will ask, “How do you know this is the exact center?"
You can revert back that your last question was the previous question and thus you are not liable to answer further.
This is just a matter of being quick witted. The cleverer you are, the better the impression will be.
