The stranger said that he thought the room was his. If so, he must have had the keys to the room and thus he must not have knocked.

Solution:

The answer is 'R'

It represents the gear stick. The number 1-5 represents gears and the last one thus should be reverse i.e. R.

Solution:

13 numbers

Explanation:
Since we are looking to find odd reminder which implies that the remainder will be either 1 or 3
Therefore number must follow below two conditions:
A) We can list number 5n + 1 or 5n + 3. (where n = 0,1,2,3.....)
B) The number must end in 1 or 3.

List of such numbers less than 100 are:
1, 3, 11, 13, 21, 23, 31, 33, 41, 43, 51, 53, 61, 63, 71, 73, 81, 83, 91, 93

Let's remove the nonprime ones which are 1, 21, 33, 51, 63, 81 and 91

So, I will be left with 13 numbers which fit the bill.
3, 11, 13, 23, 31, 41, 43, 53, 61, 71, 73, 83 and 93

Solution:

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:

1/3

Explanation
Assuming T1 is the Toy for brother1, T2 is the toy for brother2 and T3 is the toy for brother3.

Following are the possible cases for toys distribution:

Boy1 Boy2 Boy3
T1 T2 T3
T1 T3 T2
T2 T1 T3
T2 T3 T1 .... (A)
T3 T1 T2 .... (B)
T3 T2 T1

In both steps (A) & (B), no one gets the correct toy.
Therefore probability that none brother can get the own toy is 2/6 = 1/3

Solution:

Put one black rock in one sack and put all the rest in the other one. In such manner you will get about 3/4 probability of surviving.

Solution:

Isaac Newton picks up a piece of wood and lights it from the fire on the west end of the island.

He then quickly carries it near the east end of he island and starts a new fire. The wind will cause that fire to burn out the eastern end and he can then shelter in the burnt area.

(Funny Part : Isaac Newton survives the fire, but dies of starvation, with all the food in the forest burnt )

Solution:

199 - 99
