Solution:

Let us denote the cats with A, B, C and D in a fashion that A is chasing B, B is chasing C, C is chasing D and D is chasing A. The cats are moving in symmetry and thus the only logical answer is that they will meet at the center of the square.

At any point of time, the Cat A is perpendicular to cat B and Cat B is perpendicular to Cat C and so on. Cat A runs for Cat B but Cat B does not run towards or away from Cat A for it is moving in a perpendicular direction to Cat A. Thus the distance that need to be covered by Cat A to grab Cat B will be exactly same as the original distance between them which in this case is one unit (as it is a unit square).

Thus the speed of each cat towards the cat it is chasing will be [1 + cos (x)] where x denotes the angle on each corner.

Thus speed of the cat = 1 + cos (90) = 1 + 0 = 1

The time needed = Distance / Speed = 1/1 = 1 unit

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 100th statement for sure is incorrect because it says that at least 100 of the statements are incorrect.

Suppose if that is correct, then 100 statements cannot be true.
This suggests that the 100th statement is incorrect and that the first statement is true.

Similarly 99 statements cannot be true because if they were true, then two statements would become correct i.e. the 1st and the 99th.
But the 99th statement says that at least 99 are incorrect.
This suggests that the 99th statement is incorrect and that 2ndone is true.

If we keep analyzing is the same way till the end, we will find out that only the first fifty statements are true and all the remaining ones are incorrect.

Solution:

Think deeply about the door number 56, people will visit it for every divisor it has. So 56 has 1 & 56, 2 & 28, 4 & 14, 7 & 8. So on pass 1, the 1st person will open the door; pass 2, 2nd one will close it; pass 4, open; pass 7, close; pass 8, open; pass 14, close; pass 28, open; pass 56, close.
Thus we can say that the door will just end up back in its original state for each pair of divisor. But what about the cases in which the pair of divisor has analogous number for example door number 16? 16 has the divisors 1 & 16, 2 & 8, 4&4. But 4 is recurrent because 16 is a perfect square, so you will only visit door number 16, on pass 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16… leaving it open at the end. So only perfect square doors will remain open at the end.

The score obtained on the fifth throw is 12.

Solution:

Steps:
1) Light fire on first bar from both the ends and second bar from one end.

2) After 30 seconds(when first bar gets completely burned out) , burn the second bar from second end as well.

3) When second run completely gets burned , you know its 45 seconds.

Solution:

It can be down as shown below.

Solution:

There are 3 fruits (1 grapes, 1 apples, and 1 oranges).

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:

It can be solve as shown below.
