A ship is sailing in the water. It has a rope ladder hanging over its side. The rungs are 355 mm apart. Suppose if the water is rising one meter every 12 hours, how many rungs will be underwater after one day ?
It does not matter how much apart are the rungs as no matter at how much speed the water level rises, none of the rungs will go underwater. This is because with the water level rising, even the ship will be rising. Thus none of the rungs go underwater.

A B C D E F G H
These are the letters given to you. Now you have to find out the letter that comes two to the right of the letter which is immediately to the left of the letter that comes three to the right of the letter that comes midway between the letter two to the left of the letter C and the letter immediately to the right of the letter F.
Can you find it?
H is the answer.
In such questions, we usually start from the backwards. So start with the letter F and look at the right of it. It is the letter G. Now seek the letter two left to C i.e. A. Find the mid letter which will be D. Now go three right and stop at G. Go one left and you will have F. Finally go right twice and you will have the letter H.
You come across a man sitting on the shore of a sea. That man is holding a picture in his hands and crying. Concerned, you decide to go and talk with him.
Reaching him, you ask him, 'Whose picture are you holding?'
To this he, looks at you and then turn back towards the picture muttering, 'Brothers and sisters I have none, his father I my father’s son.'
Can you find out the person in the picture?
The person in the picture is that man's son.
On a bright sunny day, two fathers took their son fishing in the lake. Each man and son were able to catch one fish. When they returned to their camp, there were only three wishes in the basket. What happened?
PS: None of the fishes were eaten, lost or thrown back.
This happened because there were only three people actually who went to fishing: The son, his father and his grandfather
A pet show was happening in my locality. I went down along with my kids. In that show, I noticed that all except two of the entries were cats. All except two were dogs and all except two were fishes.
Can you find out how many of each animals were present in that pet show?
one dog, one cat and one fish
Just muse at the statements with more concentration. All except two were dogs and all except two were cats. Thus we can fairly assume that two animals were not dogs and two were not cats. Now one of that animal that is not dog can be a cat. Similarly one of that animal that is not a cat can be a dog. If we combine this result with the fact that all except two of the pets were fish, we can come up with the result that in that pet show that day, there was one dog, one cat and one fish.
Can you arrange the six given marbles in a manner that each one of them is touching all four marbles of different colors?
To make it happen, you must arrange the marbles as the vertices of an octahedron. See the image for reference.
Can you arrange 10 cones in 5 lines such that each of the lines have just 4 cones?
Draw a pentagonal star. Now place each of the cone at the intersection points and you will get the desired results.
A man comes across a coin that is dated 226 B.C. Can you calculate its worth ?
That coin is fake. This is because the B.C. and A.D. dating system was not invented till the year 525. Thus the worth of the coin is zero undoubtedly.
A charming young lady was approached by a kind looking old woman in a restaurant. The old woman said to her, 'You look exactly like my younger daughter. Sadly she passed away a couple of months back. Could you do me a favor and say 'Goodbye, mother' with a kind smile on your face when I leave?
