Solution:

Step one: First you will have to make 3 trips of 1,000 apples 333 miles. Then you will be left with 2,001 apples and 667 miles to go.

Step two: Next you will have to take 2 trips of 1,000 apples 500 miles. In this manner you will be left with 1,000 apples and 167 miles to go (you have to leave an apple behind).

Step three: At last, you will have to travel the last 167 miles with one load of 1,000 apples and you will be left with 833 apples when you reach the town

Solution:

2, 3, 10 and 10
To maintain the difference of eight and keeping in mind the third and fourth hint, the first and third cards can be 2 and 10 or 10 and 2. But keeping in mind the first hint, we know that the first card is 2 and the third is 10. Similarly, if we see the fifth hint, the difference between the second and fourth card should be 7. Thus we know that the second card is 3 and the fourth card is 10.

Solution:

If you are thinking to hold one chocolate from each box in hand and then balancing weight in bare hands, you are thinking all wrong.

Let us begin by labelling boxes as 1, 2, 3 and so on till 10.

Now pick one chocolate from box 1, two chocolates from box 2, three from box 3 and so on. In total, you will have 55 chocolates now. (1 + 2 + 3 + ..... + 10)

The ideal weight of the chocolates should be 55 * 20 = 1100. However, somewhere in there are the defected chocolate/s.

You can judge that clearly by noting down the result of 1100 - total weight of chocolates. If the weight is less than 1 gram, the defected box is box 1, if the weight is less than 2 grams, the defected box is box 2 and so on.

Solution:

Fred Odea won.

Just look at the announcement lines. The first sentence in 'Ok now everybody!' If you take out just the first letter of every word, it will form 'ONE'. In the same manner the second sentence 'The winner of…..' will give form 'TWO' and the third sentence 'The Hardest Riddle Ever Event.' Will form THREE.

Thus the final sentence must form FOUR. There is only one candidate who can suffice with the first two letter and he is Fred Odea. The final sentence of the mastermind must be, 'Fred Odea: Ultimate Riddler!'

Solution:

9 - 8 + 76 - 5 + 4 + 3 + 21 = 100


Other ways of making number 100 (withiout using number 32)
98 + 7 + 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 + 2 - 1 = 100
98 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 + 3 + 21 = 100
9 - 8 + 76 - 5 + 4 + 3 + 21 = 100
98 - 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 = 100
98 + 7 - 6 + 5 - 4 + 3 - 2 - 1 = 100
98 + 7 - 6 + 5 - 4 - 3 + 2 + 1 = 100
98 - 7 + 6 + 5 - 4 + 3 - 2 + 1 = 100
98 - 7 + 6 - 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 - 1 = 100
98 + 7 - 6 - 5 + 4 + 3 - 2 + 1 = 100
98 - 7 - 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 100
9 + 8 + 76 + 5 + 4 - 3 + 2 - 1 = 100
9 + 8 + 76 + 5 - 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 100
