Solution:

119

Explanation:
Let the minimum number of chocolates = C
When divided by 2, remainder = 1
When divided by 3, remainder = 2
When divided by 4, remainder = 3
When divided by 5, remainder = 4
When divided by 6, remainder = 5
When divided by 7, remainder = 0

Therefore, C is divisible by 7.

Whenever C is divided by any number less than 7, the remainder is 1 less than the divisor.
This implies that, C + 1 is the LCM of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Now LCM of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 = 60
But 60 - 1 = 59 is not divisible by 7

60 * 2 = 120
120 - 1 = 119 which is divisible by 7

Therefore, C + 1 = 120 or C = 119

Number of minimum number of chocolates in the box = 119

Solution:

I spoke with Joe.

Explanation:
There can be only two cases. Either Zoe is a liar or Joe is a liar.

First Case
Let us assume that Zoe is a liar and Joe is a truthful person.
If I asked the question from Joe, the answer will be yes. If I asked the question from Zoe, the answer will be no. Thus in this case, I must have asked from Joe.

Second Case
Let us assume that Zoe is a truthful and Joe is a liar.
If I asked the question from Joe, the answer will be yes. If I asked the question from Zoe, the answer will be no. Thus in this case as well, I must have asked from Joe only.

Solution:

The best thing for you will be to shoot your first shot in air.

If you try to shoot at Jack and hits him by chance, Leo always hits on the target and you are dead.

If you choose to shoot at Leo and hits him by chance, then there is a fifty percent chance that Jack will hit you.

If you shoot in air, the next turn is of Jack and he knows that Leo is a better shooter which means that he will shoot at him. If he misses, he is definitely dead as Leo will shoot on him coz he shot at him. The next turn will be yours and you stand a 1/3rd chance of hitting him. Also if, he is able to hit Leo. The next chance is yours again and you can try the 1/3rd probability of hitting over Jack.

This is the best situation that you can face. At every other possible way, you will face a worse situation for sure.

* 7+4+6+5+8 = 30

Solution:

At each draw, the number of strawberry candies are either decreasing by 2 or not decreasing at all. In the case of orange candies, at each draw, they are either increasing by 1 or decreasing by 1.

Thus on an assumed outset with at least one candy in the jar to begin with, if the number of strawberry candies are 0 or are even in numbers, they will finish off leaving an orange candy at the end. If otherwise, the remaining candy will be a strawberry one.
