K now comes a difficult one :-

some people went for vaccation. unfortunately it rained for 13 days when they were there. but whenever it rained in the morning, they had clean afternoon and vice versa. In all they enjoyed 11 morning and 12 afternoons.
how many days did they stay there totally?
 
  • #295


13 days is 6 mornings and 7 afternoons (or vice versa), 11 mornings - 6 mornings is 5 more days, so the total is 18 (or do you have to add 5 more for the 12 - 7 afternoons? - enjoyed throws me off, I enjoy the rain)

Well logic could be anyone like,(11+12+13)/2=36/2=18 Days

2) A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms: The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?

The second is the safest, as the room is full of nutrition (ie. assassins). He will live here the longest...Why? because the assassin's will think of themselves as more skilled killers than him, thus he will be of no threat to him. So each will try to recruit him to kill the other assassins (they need to eat too since they are stuck in a room as well). Now of course, this would mean that if the murderer were in fact an assassin, he would have to pretend to not be an assassin, so as to not pose a threat. Now, because he is getting food, albeit in a way most would prefer not to think of, he will survive longer than in the rooms without food (rooms 1 and 3).

Am I right, or am I right?

This is correct. In fact, the assasins haven't eaten in 4 years, and are all dead, whereas the lions ate well 3 years ago.

I think if it had listed 'developer, then stop bath, then fix, then water rinse', it might have given something away. :wink:
