Solution:

4%

Explanation:
Suppose that the initial volume of the water drop was p.

p - (1/4) p = (3/4) p

(3/4) p - (1/5) [(3/4) p] = (3/4) p * [1 - (1/5)] = (3/4) p * (4/5) = (3/5) p

(3/75) p = (1/25) p

1/25 = 4%

Therefore, the required percentage is four percent.

Solution:

Step one: First you will have to make 3 trips of 1,000 apples 333 miles. Then you will be left with 2,001 apples and 667 miles to go.

Step two: Next you will have to take 2 trips of 1,000 apples 500 miles. In this manner you will be left with 1,000 apples and 167 miles to go (you have to leave an apple behind).

Step three: At last, you will have to travel the last 167 miles with one load of 1,000 apples and you will be left with 833 apples when you reach the town

Solution:

The answer is very simple. All she had to do is take the fifteen cards from the top and reverse them. This would make another pile out of that and there will be two piles - one of 15 cards and one of 37 cards. Also both of them will have the same number of inverted cards.

Just think about it and if the mathematical explanation will help you understand better, here it is.
Assume that there were p inverted cards initially in the top 15 cards. Then the remaining 37 cards will hold 15-p inverted cards.
Now when she reverses the 15 cards on the top, the number of inverted cards will become 15-p and thus the number of inverted cards in both of the piles will become same.

Solution:

The first step that they will take will be a leap of logic. What it means is that they will deduce that every color must appear twice at least. Why? Because the master logician has assured them that the puzzle will not be impossible for anyone of them. And if a color appears only once in the circle, the person wearing it will have no clue about that color which will not be fair for him.

Then the logicians will follow the same and look for all the colors of hats in the circle. If one of them sees a color just once, he can safely assume that he is also wearing the hat of the same color as by leap of logic, no color can appear just once. Thus when the bell is rung, he will leave.

In the similar fashion, if anyone sees another color just once, he can determine that he is wearing the hat of the same color and will leave when the bell rings or will be disqualified and sent home. Unvaryingly, if a color is seen twice, they will be eliminated after the first bell. Hence, there must be at least three hats of any of the remaining color.

Assume that you are sitting in the circle and you don’t see a color once but see it twice. Then if they were the only two hats of the same color, the logicians must have left at the first bell already. But they did not. Which means that there are three hats of that color and you are wearing one. Thus you will leave after the second bell.
