Solution:

First Case:
The possible combinations of the adjacent bullets placed in the chambers are:
1, 2
2, 3
3, 4
4, 5
5, 6
6, 1

Now if you don't spin the barrel:
The first shot was empty and thus the combinations of (6, 1) and (1, 2) surely don't have bullets. This means that the bullets are present in some other possible 4 slots.

Therefore P (Death) = 1/4 = 0.25
P (Survival) = 3/4 = 0.75

If you chose to spin the barrel:
P (Death) = 2/6 = 1/3 = 0.33
P (Survival) = 4/6 = 2/3 = 0.77

Therefore you must not ask to spin the barrel and you will have a better chance at surviving.

Second Case:
If you don't spin it:
You were not hit in the first shot. Thus,
P (Death) in second hit = 2/5 = 0.4
P (Survival) in second hit = 3/5 = 0.6

If you spin the barrel
P (death) in the second hit = 2/6 = 1/3 = 0.33
P (Survival) in second hit = 4/6 = 2/3 = 0.77

Thus in this case, you have better survival rate if you chose to spin the barrel.

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.

Solution:

The girl was born on 29 February. Thus her birthday came once in four years only while her sister was born on a normal day and celebrated her birthday every year. Thus the girl had a chance of depositing money only 10 times in 4 years through which she collected $2500 while her sister took $50 from the piggy bank every year making the total amount to be $2000. Thus when the piggy bank was opened, it had just $500.

Solution:

It can be solved as below.

Solution:

The person on 73rd number will survive.

Explanation:
Till the number is the power of 2, the last person to survive will be the one who started it. But since the number here is not the power of 2, we will take the greatest power of 2 that is less than the number which is 64.
100 - 64 = 36
36 people are killed as 2, 4, 6, ..., 72. Thus the sword will now be given to the 73rd person. Now he is the first person to start in the remaining 64 people. Thus he will be the one to survive.

Solution:

Tilt the barrel until the fruit juice barely touches the lip of the barrel. If the bottom of the barrel is visible then it is less than half full.If the barrel bottom is still completely covered by the fruit juice, then it is more than half full.

Solution:

The young lady was presented with a bill which belonged to the elderly woman. She had asked the waiter to collect the bill from her daughter.

Solution:

At first, there were 2 apples on the tree. After the wind blew, one apple fell on the ground. So there where no apples on the tree and there were no apples on the ground.
*apples => more than one apple

Another solution(non tricky one)
The wind blew so hard that the apples fell of the tree and blew along the ground.

Solution:

This can be done if you draw a five pointed star and place the balls on the corners and intersection points. See the figure to understand better.

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
