Q 22: Three men have $10 each. Together
they decide to purchase a radio for $30. They leave the store and the
clerk realizes the radio was on sale for $25. The clerk decides to refund
the $5 and chases after the three guys. The clerk then realizes he can't
give $5 to three guys evenly, so he pockets $2 and gives each of them a $1
refund.
If
the three guys each got a dollar back, that means they paid a total of $9
each, which equals $27 total for the radio. If they paid $27 dollars
and the clerk only has $2 in his pocket, then they only paid $29 for the radio.
What happened to the extra dollar?
A: You
can argue both sides logically. There is no answer because each argument is
correct. I've decided the only logical answer is that the clerk should be
fired! |

Q 23: You have two buckets. One
is a three gallon bucket and the other is a five gallon bucket. You
must measure out four gallons using only the two buckets...and you cannot
use fractions (i.e. half a gallon, etc.). How do you measure out exactly
four gallons using only the two buckets? (It can be done).
A: First,
fill the three gallon bucket with water and empty into the five gallon bucket.
Second, fill the three gallon bucket with water again and top off the five
gallon bucket--leaving one gallon left in the three gallon bucket. Third,
empty the FIVE gallon bucket and pour the remaining one gallon of water from
the three gallon bucket into the five gallon bucket. Finally, fill the
three gallon bucket and pour the water into the five gallon bucket.
Voila!
As a result, you should have four gallons of water in the five gallon bucket. |

Q 24: You have a small boat, a wolf,
a chicken and several large bags of chicken feed. You must get the animals

a time (i.e. only the wolf, only the chicken...). In what sequence will
you accomplish your task without exposing the chicken to the wolf and the
feed to the chicken? (You need to prevent the chicken and the feed from
being eaten--it can be done). You can't kill any of the animals.
A: First
you take the chicken from side A to side B of the river. Second, you
take the wolf from side A to side B and pick up the chicken from side B and
take it back to side A. Then you drop off the chicken on side A, pick up the
feed and transport it to Side B. You drop off the feed on side B and
go back to side A for the chicken--and successfully transport all three without
the feed or the chicken being eaten. |
