Have guts to answer it ???

[vijay]

Hi all
I have an interesting and logical question for you. Can you answer it ?

You are at a place where there are two gates (darwaza). One gate opens to heaven and other for hell.
you don't know exactly which gate opens for heaven or hell. There is a gaurd for each gate.
The gaurds are special characters. One of the gaurds always speak the truth and the other always speak lie. ( Ek sacha ek jhutha ) .
You are supposed to ask one question to anyone of them ( Only one question ). Depending on his answer you have to decide which gate you are going to enter and it must be gate to heaven.
The solution depends on the question you are going to put up to anyone of the gaurds. You should smart enough to think about the question ?

What should be the question ? Which gate you would like to enter after his answer ?

Hey not easy but not a rocket science ? You should be logical and witty.
Anybody ??????????????????

HI VIJAY,
Nice question yaar, but make sure the gaurd not should be a wife of the person who is asking question. Aur javab milai hell kai darwaza ka hahahahahahaha.................................... LOL

[vijay]

Thanx

But the each gaurd is answerable to one question only. No second question ?

[arunshamli]

you have to ask this question to anyone of the gaurds:
"If I ask the other gaurd which door goes to heaven what would he say?"
and where he points that door will go to hell, so choose another door.

case 1. you are talking to the one who always speaks the truth.

you are going to ask him
"If I ask the other guy which door goes to heaven what would he say?"
yahan par sachche aadmi se question pucha gaya ek jhuthe ke bare me....ab jhutha hamesha galat answer dega...so when asked which door goes to heaven , he will always tell the door which goes to hell. so the first guy ( sach bolne wala) will point to the door which goes to hell...q ki jhuth bolne wala yahi answer dega.
So in this case you get the wrong answer.

case 2.
you are talking to the one who never speaks the truth.
you are going to ask him
"If I ask the other guy which door goes to heaven what would he say?"

yahan par jhuth bolne wale se pucha gaya hai ke sach bolne wala kya kahega. ab sach bolne wala sahi wale door kee taraf point karega. lekin ye jhuth bolne wala yahan bhee ulta answer dega. jo door sache wale ne bataya hoga , ye uska ulta batayega..sach bolne wala swarg batayega...lekin ye uska ulta karke batayega...aurr narak wale door kee taraf point karega....

in both the cases, you get the wrong answer. so you choose the other door if you want to go to heaven.

Hi Arun,

Great. Good answer and good explanation too.

Kamal bhai umeed hai apko samajh aa gaya hoga.

Thank you all guys for the response.

I wll appreciate if anybody want to ask more questions like this.

Cheers !

A person was captured by a tribe whose chief decided that the man should die. The chief was a logical person and he gave the man a chance. The person has to make a single statement. and if the statement was true he will be thrown over a high cliff. If it was false he would be eaten by lion.

The man made a statement and the chief had to let him go. What did he say?

You Don't have a watch.
You are provided with a 7 minutes hourglass and a 11 minutes hourglass.
How do you get exact 15 minutes from them ???

[anilsangwan]

Let me try to ans this:

Start both 7 Minute and 11 Minute hour glasses together. Once 7 min hourglass is fully run, 11 Min hourglass will have sand equivalent to 4 Mins...Start counting now..Once 4 Mins are over, turn 11 Mins hourglass....so total 4 + 11 = 15 Mins...

:)

Vijay bhai, baat banni ki nahi?

Anil bhai baat nahi bani abhi tak.

Explanation is uncpomplete. You said 11 min hourglass have sand equivalent to 4 mins...start counting. What we do with 7 min hourglass and why we turn 11 min hourglass again. Is 11 min hourglass can wait without pouring sand ? That doesn't make sense.

Well, approach is good but we didn't get desired result still.

WELL TRY ANIL !

[anilsangwan]

Bhai tenne to poonjh marod dee mere answer ki...

You said 11 min hourglass have sand equivalent to 4 mins...start counting. What we do with 7 min hourglass?

ANS: 7 min waale ko pada rehan do ebb. Iska kaam sirf 4 min tak pahoonchaana tha.

and why we turn 11 min hourglass again.

ANS: Once we measure 4 mins above...we need only 11 mins...which we can get just by turning the 11 mins hourglass so that its full again and can run for 11 mins...


Is 11 min hourglass can wait without pouring sand ?

Bera na bhai tu k keh gya is line mein...mere bhai Q ne pher tein padh ek be...aur menne bataye huye steps follow karo...

HOPE EBB KE TO SAMAJH MEIN AA GEE HOGI MERE BHAI....

Anil bhai,

I appreciate your good efforts but why should we waste first seven precious minutes ? :) :)

[arunshamli]

Anil bhai,

I appreciate your good efforts but why should we waste first seven precious minutes ? :) :)


1. start both 7 and 11 min hourglass, after 7 min the big hourglass will have send equivalent of 4 min. we have measured 7 min.

2. Start the smalller hourglass again. after 4 more min, the bigger one will be completly done and the smaller hourglass will have send equivallent of 3 min. we have measured 7+4=11 min at this point.

3. Now reverse the smaller hourglass( it had 3 min on one side and 4 on the other side). it will be completly done in 4 min. and the total time will be 7+4+4=15

Yes, Arun you are right. What Anil was doing was near to it but he was wasting first 7 minutes.

Anil bhai got it now.

Well done Arun.

Bhai Vijay,

This was the simplest of all the puzzle you have asked. and I thought let someone else try it. but, lagta hai ke JAT log is thread ki taraf kam hee aate hain...sher-o-shayri and history me busy hain;)

1. 3 litter wale ko bhar ke 5 wale me daal do.
2. 3 litter wale fo fir se bhar ke 5 wale me tab tak dalo jab tak ke 5 wala bhar na jaye. ab 3 litter wale me 1 litter hai aur 5 wala full hai
3. ab 5 litter wale ko khali karke usme 3 litter ka sara pani dal do. ab 5 wale me 1 litter hai and 3 wala khali.
4. 3 wale ko fir se bahr ke 5 wale me dal do ...ab 5 wale me 4 litter hai.

Hi Arun,

The way you answered here seems a puzzle as you know everybody here is not a software engineer or programmer. But i am a programmer and very good in C/C++ indeed. Your answer is wrong. It is showing some garbage value after compiling and executing.

Be honest man, i respect your intellect.

If you can write the whole code here than why don't you just write the exact number here.

It seems more logical. :) :)

Vijay, I was just teasing...and only a few people come to this thread.
In some other thread you had mentiond you are a c/c++ guy and thats why I had posted the c++ code. just to have some fun. But.....anyway...:)

Ok, now what is wrong in the code? email me at arun_shamli@yahoo.com
it should print the number 10 and nothing else. Is 10 the wrong answer?

Hi Arun,

I am glad to hear such a honest answer and believe me i really expected that from you. GREAT.

Well i am sorry that i didn't have much time to analyse the code literally but there is some error in your core. It shows -12 in my computer after compling and executing. Please check it again.


But, hey you are right
Answer is 10.

You are good Arun.

OK next one

Farmer A and Farmer B had adjoining lands. farmer A had a peacock, which used to wonder on both farmer A's and farmer B's fields.

One day farmer B found an egg on his fields and farmer A claimed that the egg was his because the bird was his. Farmer B, on the other hand, claimed that the egg was his simply because it was laid on his land.



So, who is right and why ?

Well, Amit nice to see you here.

The answer is that farmer B's claim seems logical becoz the egg was found on his fields.

Farmer A's claim is irrelevent becoz Peacocks doesn't lay off eggs !

Hi Arun, starting positon doesn't matter. But u have to decide from where u can start and go through all the squares in minimum moves and return back to ur starting position.

Hey Arun bhai, i didn't expected such a poor guess from you ( 64 moves ? How many squares are there on a chess board ?)

You have to do that in minimum possible moves. Got it ?

Every square have a specific name
Staring from left bottom square A1 going upwards A2, A3... upto A8.

What is the age of the missing person ?


The answer is 19.

Let me ask a question this time.

5 people have 100 gold coin to split among themsleves. They came up with a solution to divide the coins. the most senior memeber will propose a divison and everyone votes on it. if 50% or more member votes in favor of the proposal they will divide the coin that way, if not they kill the senior member and start all over agian and the most senior surviving member will have to propose the solution and they vote by the same rules, eithe divide the coins or kill the senior memeber,as the case may be. this process continues util one plan is accepted.

If You are the senior member ,What plan do you propose? your own vote will also count. everybody in the gang is extremly logical, greedy and they all want to live.)

first solution to Vijay's question:

Let the age of boy be X years.
Now as given in the question, his age is 91/2 years plus half of his age,i.e. X/2 years.
So, X= 19/2 + X/2
solving this, v get X=19 years.

Follwing is my solution scheme for ur problem.Please check it and tell me if i m right or wrong:

Lets number the persons from N1 to N5----N1 being the juniormost and N5 being the seniormost....
In the riddle,its given that these people are very very greedy and logical too......
So what the N5 can do.....Here is my answer.........
Lets apply induction.

Case1: only one person.
If there is only one person,then he will have all the share.

Case2: two persons
let it be N1 and N2.In this case N2 would want to take all the coins,and he has 50% votes (his own vote) for
doing this. This way N1 won't be getting anything.

Case3: three persons
let it be N1,N2, and N3.So in this case N3 needs support of one more member.N2 wont support him,as he knows that if he is able to get rid of N3,then only two persons will be left and he will be at gain(see case2).So N3 would lure N1 for 1 gold coin.since each of them is extremely greedy and logical,so N1 would think that 1 coin is better than nothing,so he would accept his offer.In this way,N3 will have 99 coins,N2 will have none and N1 will have 1.

Case4: four persons
Let it be N4,N3,N2,and N1. then N4 needs support of at least one member. But he wont get it from N3 (from case3) and recursively from N1. So the only person left is N2. Again, N4 will have 99coins,and N2 will have 1.

Case5: five persons
N5 needs at least 2 more people on his side,to get his plan proposed......If we think logically,like them, we know that N4 would want to kill N5,since he is the next seniormost.......So he will lure N3 with one coin.N3 knows that if N4 comes,he won't get anything,so he accepts that deal...Next comes N2...Now he also would want to kill N5,since he would get advantage then...So the one that will be left is N1.The N5 person can share 1 more coin with N1.

So the solution scheme can be:
Person# No. of coins
N5 98
N4 0
N3 1
N2 0
N1 1

Similarly, there can be more solutions,(if N5 is less greedy),then
Person# No. of coins OR
N5 97 97
N4 0 0
N3 2 1
N2 0 0
N1 1 2

1] There will be no person to assist you in help sail the boat...u have to do it yourself.
2] Only two people can travel at a time in this boat.
3] No two or more women be left with one man any where ie neither on the either bank nor on sail.
4] No lady should be allowed to travel with a man....other than her husband.


How will they cross the river safely and happily?

Ok. here is my solution.

On left there are three couples AM and AF, BM and BF, CM and CF.

First AM and AF goes across the river.
(BM, BF,CM,CF on left and AM,AF on right )
Now AM comes back.
(AM,BM,BF,CM,CF on left and AF on right)
Now BF and CF goes across the river
(All Males on right and all Females on right)
Now AF comes back
(AM,BM,CM AF on left and BF,CF on right)
Now BM and CM goes across the river
(AM,AF on left and BM,BF,CM,CF on right)
Now BM and BF comes back
(AM,AF,BM,BF on left and CM,CF on right
Now AM and BM goes across the river
(AF,BF on left and AM,BM,CM,CF on right)
Now CF comes back
(All Females on left and all Males on right)
Now BF and CF goes across the river
(AF on left and AM,BM,BF,CM,CF on right)
Now AM comes back
(AM,AF on left and BM,BF,CM,CF on right)
Now AM,AF goes across the river
(All on right bank and happy)

Can u figure out the next number in the following sequence ......


5, 20, 24, 6, 2, 8, ?

[puneetsheoran]

12.

The next number is found by firstly multiplying by 4, then adding 4, then dividing by 4 four and finally subtracting by 4.

so you get 5*4 = 20, 20+4=24, 24/4=6 and then 6-4=2. The process is simply repeated from here to get 8 and then 12, 3 and -1.

Hi Puneet good job !

Correct answer !

[vijay]

Hi ! one more.

There are 12 boxes of different colors arranged in the folowing order :
( Consider it left to right and top to bottom)

1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12

You have to find out where is the Yellow box ?

Some hints for you :

1. White box is to the right of Black directly above the Maroon
2. Orange box is directly above the Grey box.
3. Brown box is above the Grey box.( Not directly)
4. Green box is below the brown box.
5. Red box is between Purple and Orange.
6. Maroon box is on bottom row directly to the right of Pink.
7. Blue Box is in the bottom right hand corner in the same column as Orange.

So, where is the yellow box ?

[puneetsheoran]

From the clue number 7 we can determine that Blue is at 12. Clue no. 2 then provides the positions for 4 and 8 as Orange and Grey. Clue 5 provides position 2 and 3 as Purple and Red. Clue 3 provides the last remaining position in row 1 that is 1 = Brown. Clue 4 provides position 5 as Green.
Clue 1 and 6 put together provide the colors for position 6,7, 10 and 11. leaving 9 as the missing one which has to be yellow.

Vijay Bhai Sahab is question me maja nahi aaya?
Previous all questions were very nice.

Now one for you.....
if you have not got it already ever.

Name a ten digit number in which every digit tells the number of times that place's number is been repeated.

There are ten positions numbered denoted by a number 0 to 9 (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) & there is a numeric digit (from 1 to 9) assigned for each position wher each digit tells about how much time that position number been repeted. Answer will be a ten digit number? Can you tell it? Some persons knew it I m sure.


In other words digit at first place tells how much time number Zero(0) is repeted in this number, digit at second place tells how much times the number One(1) is repeted in that number, digit at third place tells how much times the number Two(2) is repeted in that number


for example the false answer is.....

Position: 0__1__2__3__4__5__6__7__8__9
Answer: 3__2__9__4__6__0__2__9__1__1

i.e. 3294602911

here digit 2 at second place (position represented by digit 1) tell that number ONE (1) is repeted two times in this number so this digit is correct.
But here digit 9 at third place (position represented by digit 2) tell that number TWO (2) is repeted nine times in this number so this digit is incorrect.

I suppose the correct answer is

explaination:
position: 0_1_2_3_4_5_6_7_8_9
number : 6_2_1_0_0_0_1_0_0_0

here 6--> 0 is present six times in the number
2--> 1 is present twice
1--> 2 is present once
0--> 3 is not present
similarly, 1 at 6th position shows that six is present once!!:)

Hi,
New puzzle again

There are three tables, and 21 bottles. Seven bottles are full, seven bottles are half full and seven are empty.

Place these bottles on these three tables in such a manner that all the three tables must have equal amount of liquid upon them.

[puneetsheoran]

Let's see.

assuming the 7 full bottles have 1 ltr each and 7 half full bottles have 0.5 ltr each the total amount of liquid in the 21 bottles comes to 10.5 litres. This needs to be then divided by 3 to get the amount that needs to be on each table. In this case, each table must have 3.5 lts. The empty bottles can be put in any order as the question is about distributing the liquid.
These can then be arranged in a number of ways.


Table 1 Table 2 Table 3
3* 0.5 3* 0.5 1* 0.5
2* 1 2*1 3*1

[vdeswal]

Run both 7 and 11 together. once 7 is complete turn it reverse again untill 11 is complete once 11 is complete then revserse tht 7 again frm tht moment on.

[vijay]

Run both 7 and 11 together. once 7 is complete turn it reverse again untill 11 is complete once 11 is complete then revserse tht 7 again frm tht moment on.

Yes you are right !

Thanks for the reply Deswal bhai, but you are too late to answer as the solution is already there on this this thread long time back.
