here is how I would do it.

If Leader B has an odd number, so does Leader A

So leader A sends true if he has 3 or more red hats, False if 2 or less.

If it is true, Leader B knows its 3, 4 or 5. If he has an even number it is 4, so he can just send that message, if he has an odd sends 3. Leader A answers if 3 is his number.

If it is false, Leader B knows its 0, 1, or 2. If he has an odd number he knows it is 1, so he can just send that message. if he has even number he sens 0, again Leader A just answers if zero is the number.

with that info Leader B should know the final count.

Good job Pickett. 1/2 hour that was quick.

OK gang this is an original Einstein type riddle. I hope it's not too easy.

Five college friends all got jobs working as computer programmers following their graduation. They all went to work for different companies. As it turns out in each of their jobs they each used a different programming language. So they would get together every Friday for a drink after work and discuss which was the best programming language. They all drank a different beverage (the designated driver drank soda). Determine the programming language each person used, the company they worked for and the type of drink they had at the bar.

1. The one who worked at DataCo drank Beer, but it wasn’t Al.

2. Gerald, who didn't program in Java, didn’t work at WebCo.

3. The Perl programmer worked CompCo.

4. Sam, who didn't progam in SQL, worked at InfoCo but his favorite drink wasn’t Soda.

5. Keith drank Wine but didn't work for WebCo.

6. Al did not know how to program in Java.

7. Dave a C programmer was not the designated driver.

8. Gerald, who didn't program in SQL and didn't work for AppCo, sipped Gin while chatting with his friends.

9. The PHP programmer, whose first name wasn’t Al, liked to drink Whisky and did not work for AppCo.

I'll give it a go

A sick person often receives an IV..... IV = 4.

An isosceles triangle has 3 sides.....3=3

put them together (IV and 3)

you get 43

Hmm an answer a 5 year old can understand.....

You are trying to explain axis of symmetry to a five year old, I guess I would give them credit for being pretty smart and start out like this.

"The mirror rotates the image along a vertical axis"

I would then use a prop to demonstrate what I am talking about. It could be a picture that I stand up and place my finger on the top middle and spin it 180 degrees to show her what I mean by "rotating on a vertical axis"

If you can see through the back of the picture to at least make out some of the real picture on the other side you will see the mirror image through the back. A better choice may be to use a drawing or a picture printed on regular paper (so it is semi see through, or if you have a transparency that would be even better). Tell her that is what the mirror is doing.

If that didn't work, I would say "The mirror doesn't switch left and right, it switches front and back" This is a worse explanation in my opinion, and is harder to understand in my opinion. But if the first one didn't work, this one might, you never know how people will perceive things.

And if both of those don't work, I would just tell her she is not seeing a mirror image, but instead looking into a portal into bizzaro world, where they do everything backwards than us. And she is just seeing her double from that world through this portal.

That last one is obviously a joke, so don't be mad at me when your daughter needs years of therapy because she keeps seeing her evil twin spying on her.....

I think it is

15 steps for B.

A is walking at a rate of 2 steps for every 1 step the escalator makes. (A took 20 steps, and escalator moved 10 more for a total of 30).

So if B walks half as fast as A, B should be taking only 1 step per escalator step. So when B makes 15 steps, the escalator will make 15 steps.

For this version of the the game

second.

The game in question is called NIM, there is another popular flash version called Pearls Before Swine.

The algorithm I have always used is to convert each row to a binary number and then add the columns. Each column must add to an even number for you to win.

int the 1-3-5-7 configuration they use in this version the columns start adding to an even number. so I went second and kept taking away the appropriate amount to make the binary columns add to an even amount and won..

20 Liters

I think it is

SEND.

The first time the Ajit says you cannot determine the vowels, eliminates all the words with B in them (all "B" words have 1 vowel)

The second time eliminates all the words with O in them (all remaining "O" words have 2 vowels)

The third time eliminates all the I words (all remaining "i" words have 1 vowel)

this leaves only one word: SEND

How can you get five out of four?

f. i. v. e.

five out of 4 letters.

Could you please spell "42,100,387"??

I'm getting a slightly different result...

I agree

fortytwomilliononehundredthousandthreehundredeightyseven

12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456

42,100,387 = 56

56 = 8

8 = 5

5 = 4

and everybody knows what 4 is.

29-5-17?

a b c d e f g h i *j* k l m n o p q r s *t* u v w x y z

I think you are close but

28-4-17

29 = XXIX, not XXVIIII

but 28 is XXVIII

and 4 is IV

1. Portuguese

2. Greek

3. Dutch

4. Chinese

5. Russian?

6. This could be Spanish, Italian, or Portuguese. Since one is Portuguese, I'll guess Spanish? It always threw me off in class when the teacher seemed to call a story history.

7. French

8. Japanese

Thalia, I will have to check the key to be sure (i left it at work) but for my 6 I think you got every language correct.

That is amazing! Very nice job.

I will let you know on Monday for sure when I can check the key.

Very nice, I am glad you extended it.

7. An officer and a gentleman (French - wild guess)

8. I know what you did last summer (Dutch, another guess, but I have a strange feeling this is correct)

Nice job Shadow7, Molly Mae, and maurice!

all are correct.

but..... no language guesses.

Good job. How'd you figure it out?

daddy is easy - you said what age when he is 50.

momma = daddy - 4 based on your third clue, so that makes her 46.

grandma = momma + 20 based on your fourth clue so that makes her 66

momma was 16 when the twins were born based on the last clue so that makes the twins = momma - 16 = 30

child is twins + 2 based on the second clue, so child = 32

Ok this is not my original idea, I saw something similar on another site. But it seems fun to me, so here we go.

I took 6 movie titles and went to Babel Fish, and translated the titles into another language. Then I took the translation and re-translated it back into English. Below are the 6 new movie titles. Can you tell me the real movie title, and the language I used to translate (note I used a different language for each movie)

Note: I did not use any capitalization in the movie titles when I translated them.

Have fun

1. it shows of the questionnaire

2. the harmed cupboard

3. this way well since it gets

4. at a night of most intense time

5. millions of babies of the dollar

6. history of the toy

Lets see

Daddy = 50

Momma = 46

Grandma = 66

Child = 32

Twins = 30

Not hard

For any single elimination tournament, the total number of games needed to determine a champion is (# of entrants) - 1.

So in this case 28

D & C statements cannot conform to the rules you laid out.

C - states D did not do it,

D - states D did not do it, and C is lying.

So if C is truthful, D is 1/2 truthful (about D not doing it), and 1/2 lying about C being a liar. this cant work, becasue the person is either all truthful or all lying

So if C is lying, D is 1/2 lying (about D not doing it), and 1/2 truthful about C being a liar. again D must be completely truthful or completely lying. No half and half per the OP

Try to decode my method ,then answer this question using the same method:

Panwar I think you are very close, I would modify your procedure slightly

Step 1 (same as pan war) take numbers 1 through 9 and multiply by 11 through 19 respectively

gives: 11, 24 39, 56, 75 96, 119, 144, 171

Step 2 take the right most two digits and reverse them to form another number

gives: 11, 42, 93, 65, 57, 69, 91, 44, 17

Step 3 take any (left most) digits not used in step 2, multiply them by 10 and add to the step 2 result

gives:

11 = (0*10) + 11

42 = (0*10) + 42

93 = (0*10) + 93

65 = (0*10) + 65

57 = (0*10) + 57

69 = (0*10) + 69

101 = (1*10) + 91

54 = (1*10) + 44

27 = (1*10) + 17

so I agree with panwar #54 is indeed box 8

Yes, there is more information.

.

1. Eagles are worth an even number of whole dollars.
2. The number of Quarters equals the number of Dollars plus an even multiple of the number of Eagles.

.

With additional information comes a Bonus question:

What would be the value of an Eagle if it were an ODD number of whole dollars, the other information remaining unchanged?

it seems to me there is more than one possible answer

Eagle worth $4 (376 quarters, 2 dollars, 1 eagle) or (352 quarters, 4 dollars, 2 eagles)

Eagle worth $8 (360 quarters, 2 dollars, 1 eagle) or (320 quarters, 4 dollars, 2 eagles).

I may be confused here though, so set me straight if I am answering the incorrect question
