Solution:

3.75 hours

Explanation:
While you can solve it as you like, a simple mathematical equation can be used to find out.
Let M be the amount of petrol initially.
Let N be the time for which they drove.
According to the question, the amount of petrol used by first car in N hours = MN / 4
The amount of petrol used by second car in N hours = MN / 5
Hence, the amount of petrol left in the first car = (M - MN / 4)
The amount of petrol left in the second car = (M - MN / 5)
AS per the details given in the question, we can form the below equation:
M - MN / 5 = 4(M - MN / 4)
N = 15 / 4 or 3.75 hours.
Hence, both the drivers have driven the car for 3.75 hours at that particular time.

Solution:

Put one black rock in one sack and put all the rest in the other one. In such manner you will get about 3/4 probability of surviving.

Solution:

LOTTO

Explanation:
Just flip the two rows 1 and 2 vertically, you will find the word "Lotto".

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:

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:

Isaac Newton picks up a piece of wood and lights it from the fire on the west end of the island.

He then quickly carries it near the east end of he island and starts a new fire. The wind will cause that fire to burn out the eastern end and he can then shelter in the burnt area.

(Funny Part : Isaac Newton survives the fire, but dies of starvation, with all the food in the forest burnt )

Solution:

Never

Explanation:
In the question, the distance of x miles is given at a particular moment. The middle car is running at that time at 50 MPH. The distance will keep increasing with time as three are running at different speeds. It will increase by x miles every hour till a certain point of time and then it will start decreasing till the fastest car meets the slowest again.

As per question, all the cars stop then. Thus, the distance will never be x miles again.

Solution:

If you ask the guard who always tells the truth, he would tell you the other guard would point you to the door of death. If you ask the guard who always lies, he would tell you the opposite door of the truth-telling guard and point you to the door of death. In either case, both guards will point to the door of death so you should choose the other one.
