Solution:

In the first wave, let us make an assumption that there is only 1 red hat and other 8 hats are blue. The student who can see all the other 8 blue hats on others' head will certainly be clear that there are 8 blue hats and 1 red hat since the professor told them that there is at least 1 red hat among the nine. But no one was able to answer after the first half an hour. Thus this can't be possible and our assumption is wrong.

Now let us assume that there are 2 red hats and 7 blue hats. The student who is having a red hat on his head can definitely see 7 blue hats and one red hat. He can deduce that he is wearing a red hat. But nobody was able to answer in the second interval as well. Thus our assumption is again wrong.

In the last wave of final five minutes, let us assume that there are 3 hats and 6 blue hats. The student with a red hat can see 2 other red hats and 6 blue hats and he may deduce that he is wearing a red hat. In this interval, everyone was able to answer which states that our assumption is correct.

Thus there are 3 red hats and 6 blue hats.

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 answer is 2. First, divide the coins into 3 equal piles. Place a pile on each side of the scale, leaving the remaining pile of 3 coins off the scale. If the scale does not tip, you know that the 6 coins on the scale are legitimate, and the counterfeit is in the pile in front of you. If the scale does tip, you know the counterfeit is in the pile on the side of the scale that raised up. Either way, put the 6 legitimate coins aside. Having only 3 coins left, put a coin on each side of the scale, leaving the third in front of you. The same process of elimination will find the counterfeit coin.

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:

One of the cop will move clockwise while the other will move anti-clockwise every day. In such a manner, they will catch the thief in minimum seven days.

Solution:

45 minutes

Explanation :
All you have to do is burn the first rope from both the ends and the second rope from one end only simultaneously. The first rope will burn in 30 minutes (half of an hour since we burned from both sides) while the other rope would have burnt half. At this moment, light the second rope from the other end as well. Where, the second rope would have taken half an hour more to burn completely, it will take just 15 minutes as we have lit it from the other end too.

Thus you have successfully calculated 30+15 = 45 minutes with the help of the two given ropes.

Solution:

There can be two possibilities for the given situation.

One is if I run on the perimeter. Then, the lion will eventually catch me as the lion can follow my radius and then his trajectory will be half of the circle and not a spiral. Therefore, the lion will subsequently catch me in a finite amount of time.

Secondly if I don’t run on the perimeter, then clearly, I have an infinite amount of time before the lion catches me.

Solution:
