Solution:

The five cards must contain at least one card of the same suit.
Let's assume Rhodes placed one of the two cards of the same suit at the end and the second card was given to Daniel.
In that case, Daniel will know the suit of the card.

Now the real question is how Rhodes made sure that Daniel also knows the number of the card.

Daniel got four cards and one of them will determine the suit, so we are left with 3 cards.
3 cards can be arranged in 3! ways i.e. 6 ways but our card numbers can vary from 1 to 13.
Since we have two cards of the same suit we will make sure that we don't pick the King (13). This leaves us with 12 numbers.

We can also distinguish card from upside down position, therefore, we now have 6 * 2 ways to arrange these card.
"TADA.... We cracked the magic trick".

Let us assume that the smallest card is C1U (upwards position) and C1D (downwards position). Similarly, we have C2U, C2D, C3U and C3D

According to that, the 12 possible arrangements are:
C1U C2U C3U => NUMBER 1
C1U C3U C2U => NUMBER 2
C2U C1U C3U => NUMBER 3
C2U C3U C1U => NUMBER 4
C3U C1U C2U => NUMBER 5
C3U C2U C1U => NUMBER 6
C1D C2D C3D => NDMBER 7
C1D C3D C2D => NDMBER 8
C2D C1D C3D => NDMBER 9
C2D C3D C1D => NDMBER 10
C3D C1D C2D => NDMBER 11
C3D C2D C1D => NDMBER 12

Please note that king (number 13) is not possible as discussed already.

Solution:

f the last elf is taking some time to answer the question then it shall mean that the elf's before him are all wearing distinct coloured hats. However sufficient time shall be given to the last elf to give the answer.
If he views the similar coloured hats in front of him , he shall quickly tell the answer

Solution:

Sam : 2
Dean : 5
Castiel : 7

Age diff
7 - 2 = '5' is prime
7 - 5 = '2' is prime
5 - 2 = '3' is prime

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:

Solution:

I + IX = X

The equation read from the other side becomes X = XI + I which is false.

Solution:

We now have a square of 3x3 size, 2 squares of 2x2 size and 5 squares of 1x1 size.

Solution:

73

Explanation:
It's a very famous puzzle known as "Josephus Problem Puzzle". It can be solved in various ways but the trick to solve this problem is illustrated below.

Binay number of 100 is: 1100100
complement pf 100 is 0011011, whose decimal equivalent is 27.
The desired answer will be 100 - 27 = 73

Solution:

In the corners of the square, tighten two ropes. Tighten another rope between them by putting rings on each rope. That rope should be tightened on the sheep's neck on the other end.

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:

The ball will take infinite bounces before it is stopped. As per the question it will keep on bouncing half way up every time it hits the ground. But gravity will play its part at certain point of time which will make it stop.
