Solution:

Let m be initial number of flowers and n be the flowers offered at each temple by the man.
Initial flowers = m
After stepping into the first temple = 2m
Flowers offered at the first temple = n
Remaining flowers = 2m – n

After stepping into the second temple = 4m – 2n
Flowers offered at the second temple = n
Remaining flowers = 2m – n

After stepping into the third temple = 8m – 6n
Flowers offered at the third temple = n
Remaining flowers = 8m – 7n

Now as per the question (8m – 7n) must be equal to 0.
i.e. 8m – 7 n = 0
or 8m = 7y

Now the least numbers required to solve this equation are 7 and 8 for m and n respectively.

Thus m = 7; n = 8
Which means, the man had 7 flowers in the beginning and he offered 8 flowers at each temple.

Solution:

17 mins

The initial solution most people will think of is to use the fastest person as an usher to guide everyone across. How long would that take? 10 + 1 + 7 + 1 + 2 = 21 mins. Is that it? No. That would make this question too simple even as a warm up question.

Let’s brainstorm a little further. To reduce the amount of time, we should find a way for 10 and 7 to go together. If they cross together, then we need one of them to come back to get the others. That would not be ideal. How do we get around that? Maybe we can have 1 waiting on the other side to bring the torch back. Ahaa, we are getting closer. The fastest way to get 1 across and be back is to use 2 to usher 1 across. So let’s put all this together.

1 and 2 go cross
2 comes back
7 and 10 go across
1 comes back
1 and 2 go across (done)

Total time = 2 + 2 + 10 + 1 + 2 = 17 mins

Solution:

The teacher will use a simple trick to form a perfect impression. He will ask all his students to raise their hands on each of the question that is asked. But the only catch will be that those who knows the answer correctly will raise their right hand and others will raise their left hand.

In this way, the principal will see all the hands being raised for each question even though all won't be knowing the correct answer. The teacher will ask only those who know the answer and they will always be correct. So the principal will be impressed to full extent.

Solution:

This puzzle has no answer if you are considering this figure in a 2d domain. However if you follow it on a three-dimensional plane, you can do it like shown in the figure given.

Solution:

Although it looks complicated, the answer is simple. The password to his computer is JIGSAW.
1st letter of Jug = J
2nd letter of Birthdays = I
3rd letter of Fights = G
4th letter of Cars =S
2nd letter of Laptops = A
1st letter of Watch = W

Solution:

Blue could only be wearing white or red and we know that there is already someone else wearing the white shirt so Mr. Blue could only be wearing the red shirt.

Mr. White could have only been wearing a blue or a red shirt, and red is already taken, so Mr. White is wearing a blue shirt.

Mr. Red now has to be wearing a white shirt.

Solution:

Since each one of them gave one answer wrong, this means that each one of them gave two answers right.

Let us assume that Student A gave a wrong answer to the first question. This will mean that Student B also gave a wrong answer for the first. This will conclude that the rest of the two answers given by them are correct. However, the answers are different and thus it is not possible.

Thus both Student A and Student B must be right with the first question and the answer to the first is two.

If you keep applying the same logic, you will come to a conclusion that following are the correct answers:
Q1. Two
Q2. Three
Q3. Two

Solution:

Solution:

There is no reason whatever why the customer's original deposit of Rs.100 should equal the total of the balances left after each withdrawal.
The total of withdrawals in the left-hand colum may equal Rs.100, but is is purely coincidence that the total of the right-hand column is close to Rs.100.
Let us show another example, but starting with Rs.200 in the bank:
Withdrawals Balance left
Rs.50 Rs.150
Rs.25 Rs.125
Rs.10 Rs.115
Rs.8 Rs.107
Rs.5 Rs.102
Rs.2 Rs.100
Rs.100 Rs.699
Moral of this story? Don't Total Balances

Solution:

1

Explanation:
4 + 9 = 1
The trick to solve is to assume the first number as the time in AM and the second number is the number of hours you have to add to it. You'll find the time in PM when you do that.

For example
7 AM + 7 hours = 14:00 or 2 PM

4 AM + 9 hours = 13:00 or 1 PM.
