Solution:

40

Explanation:
There are a total of 40 squares.
We have 8 smallest squares. Move up a size and we have 16 more + 2 in the middle. Move up a size and we have 9 more. Move up a size and we have 4 more. Then, we have the largest square.

8 + 16 + 2 + 9 + 4 + 1 = 40.

Solution:

Ms. Britney did it.

We will take up every person and analyze the statements over all of them one by one.

Case 1: Ms. Britney did it, then
Statement 1 => true
Statement 2 => false (as Rihanna did not do it)
Statement 3 => false (as Ms. Britney is lying)
Statement 4 => false (as Ms. Gwyneth is lying)
Our first guess itself was right but let us confirm our analysis by analyzing the statements over others.

Case 2: Ms. Rihanna did it, then
Statement 1 => false (as Ms. Britney did not do it)
Statement 2 => true
Statement 3 => true (as Ms. Britney is not lying)
As per the conditions, three statements had to be wrong but here, we have two statements right which clearly contradict the condition.

Case 3: Ms. Gwyneth did it, then
Statement 1 => false (as Ms. Britney did not do it)
Statement 2 => false (as Ms. Rihanna did not do it)
Statement 3 => false (as Ms. Britney is lying)
Statement 4 => false (as Ms. Gwyneth is lying)
She did not do it as all the statements are false.

Case 4: Ms. Yoon did it, then
Statement 1 => false (as Ms. Britney did not do it)
Statement 2 => false (as Ms. Rihanna did not do it)
Statement 3 => false (as Ms. Britney is lying)
Statement 4 => false (as Ms. Gwyneth is lying)
All four statements are false in her case as well thus she did not do it.

Therefore we have proved that Ms. Britney did it.

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:

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:

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:

Yes, you should switch the envelope. In the beginning when you picked up the envelope, you had a 1/3 probability of finding an offer letter in the envelope. There was 2/3 chance that the letter was there in the two envelopes on the table.

If you keep your selected envelope, you still have a 1/3 chance of finding an offer letter in that. However, since the interviewer has removed one empty envelope from the table, if you switch, you have a probability of 2/3 that the offer letter is inside that.

Solution:

10

Explanation:
Equation 1 + 9 + 11 = 1 can be derived from
One (o) + nine (n) + eleven (e) = one => 1

Similarly for equation,
12 + 11 + 9
Twelve (t) + eleven (e) + nine (n) => ten (10)

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

Solution:
