Solution:

Impossible

Explanation:
Let us first denote everything with variables.
d= distance to your friend's place
T = time taken to get there
t = time required to get back
R = Speed while returning back

d = 20T
T = d/20

d = Rt
t = d/R

We have made equations for T and t and now we can derive an equation for the round trip.

2d = 40(T + t)
2d = 40(d/20 + d/R)
2d = 40d(1/20 + 1/R)
1 = 20(R/20R + 20/20R)
20R = 20(R+20)
R = R + 20

Do you see the paradox here? You literally have to travel back at an infinite speed if you want to make the average speed of your trip 40 mph. The faster return speed will have lesser impact of the average speed but consider that the quicker your return trip is, the faster you will make it.

We are talking about travelling double the distance in the same time that was taken for one way trip. Thus, if you travel at infinite speed, you will be able to attain an average of 40 mph.

Solution:

David to play second

Explanation:
Let's suppose that David plays first and he picks 9. Then Albert will definitely pick 8. Now, David will have to pick 7 or Albert will pick 7 in his turn. But if David picks up 7, then he will score 16 that is beyond 15 and will lose. So one thing is for sure, no one will be willing to start with the highest digits.

Suppose David plays first and picks up 1, Albert will pick 2. Then David will pick 3 and Albert will pick 4. Now David will be forced to pick 9. The score is 6 to 13 and thus David will have no chance of winning.

If David Picks 9 after Albert has picked up 2, then Albert will pick 8 and the score will become 10 to 10. Thus David will pick 3 as picking 7 will send him past 15. Now Albert will pick 4 and David has nothing to pick for winning. Thus Albert wins.

Therefore, you should suggest David to play second.

Solution:

You must put labels on the tablets as A and B before using. In that case, if you pour tablets together, you will get 3A, 2A 1B, 1A 2B or 3B. If they are from the same bottles you can take one from another bottle and save the remaining two for another day. If you get two from same and one from other, you can draw one from another bottle and you will have two pairs of which you can eat one and save the other.

Solution:

"World War I" was named after after "World War II"

Solution:

Take 10 number of cards in a new deck and change their face direction. For example- You create a new deck of 10 cards and out of 10, 3 faces up in the new deck. So remaining 7 faces up are in the old deck. But hey! while creating the new deck you reversed the face direction of new cards. So actually the 3 cards which were facing up are actually face down in the new deck while 7 faces up.

Solution:

The two numbers are 4 and 13 whose product is 52 and sum is 17.

Solution:

Think deeply about the door number 56, people will visit it for every divisor it has. So 56 has 1 & 56, 2 & 28, 4 & 14, 7 & 8. So on pass 1, the 1st person will open the door; pass 2, 2nd one will close it; pass 4, open; pass 7, close; pass 8, open; pass 14, close; pass 28, open; pass 56, close.
Thus we can say that the door will just end up back in its original state for each pair of divisor. But what about the cases in which the pair of divisor has analogous number for example door number 16? 16 has the divisors 1 & 16, 2 & 8, 4&4. But 4 is recurrent because 16 is a perfect square, so you will only visit door number 16, on pass 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16… leaving it open at the end. So only perfect square doors will remain open at the end.

Solution:

Anybody will prefer the shop in the eastern market for sure. There are two reasons for it:
Firstly, since there are only two barbers in the town, the one running the shop in eastern market must have gotten his hair done by the one running the shop in the northern market and vice versa. Thus, if the barber in the eastern market has a shabby haircut, it must be due to the incompatibility.
Secondly, the neat and clean shop can be due to the scarcity of customers as well. While the untidy place refers to the fact that so many customers get their hair done in that shop.

Thus any one will opt for the barber shop in the eastern market.

Solution:

2 people

Say 2 helpers are Helper1 & Helper2

Helper1 food Helper2 food McDuck's Food
End of Day 1 : 1 4 4
Now 'A' will head back

End of Day 2 : N/A 2 4
Now 'B' will head back

Now Mr. McDuck have 4 day food :-)

Solution:

Are you Thorgan

Explanation:
Below will be the reply of three brothers:
Eden: No (speaks truth)
Thorgan: No (speaks lie)
Kylian: Yes (speaks lie)

Therefore if its Kylian then only you will get a reply as "Yes" and then you ask for your money.
