Solution:

First fill the 8 liters jug complete - 4, 8, 0
Fill the 5 liters jug with 8 liters jug - 4, 3, 5
Pour back the beer from 5 liters jug to 12 liters jug - 9, 3, 0
Pour the 3 liters from 8 liters jug to 5 liters jug - 9, 0, 3
Fill the 8 liters jug completely from 12 liters jug - 1, 8, 3
Fill the 5 liters jug from the 8 liters jug - 1, 6, 5
Pour the entire 5 liters jug back in 12 liters jug - 6, 6, 0

You have successfully split the beer into two equal parts.

Solution:

4 6 5 3 (from magician perspective)
3 5 6 4 (viewer perspective)

Detail:

From user perspective:

Solution:

It will take the man 58 minutes to reach the top.

Since he is climbing 3 feet and falling 2 feet back every passing minute, he is actually climbing 1 feet every minute.
Therefore, he would have climbed 57 feet in 57 minutes. The remaining distance is 3 feet. He will take one more minute to climb it and reach the surface. Since he has reached the top surface, he won't slip back.

Solution:

It has been clearly stated that none of the two students gave same number of correct answers which leads us to two different possibilities of correct answers:
Either (1 + 2 +3 + 4 + 5 = 15) or (0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10) stands true.

After analyzing the question, the maximum number of correct answers possible with the answers Gerry, Billy, Clark, Peeta and Jonathan gave:
Question 1 = 2 (b or c)
Question 2 = 2 (b or c)
Question 3= 4 (True)
Question 4 = 4 (True)
Question 5 = 3 (True)

Let us first assume with the maximum number of correct answers possible according to our data which are 15 (2+2+4+4+3). According to it, Billy must have given all correct answers as he was the only one who answered True for questions 3, 4 and 5. But in that case, Gerry and Clark must have given exactly three correct answers. Furthermore, Peeta and Jonathan must have given two correct answers. Therefore none of them got all the five correct answers which is wrong according to what we have analyzed.

Thus we move on to our next assumption according to which, the total number of correct answers are 10 (0+1+2+3+4). Now we must acknowledge that Questions 3 as well as Question 4 cannot be False as it will mean that the number of correct answers would not be 10. So the students giving wrong answers cannot be Gerry, Billy and Peeta.

Assume that Jonathan got all wrong, it will suggest that Gerry, Clark and Peeta each would have at least two correct answers. Then, Billy would have to be the person with only one correct answer and in that situation, the correct answers for questions 1 and 2 would be a and a respectively. Since that is not possible as then the total number of correct answers would be 1 (a) + 1 (a) + 1 (False) + 4 (True) + 2 (Flase) = 9.

Thus it must be Clark who has given all wrong answers. The correct answers are then b, a, True, False and False. Also, the scores are Clark (0), Billy (1), Gerry (2), Jonathan (3) and Peeta (4).
