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.

Solution:

Assume that P, Q and R are the three friends. Now P is earning X amount, Q is earning Y amount and R is earning Z amount.

First, P will add his salary to a random amount A and will tell the combined sum to Q.
X + A

Now, Q will add his salary and a random amount B to the amount passed by P. He will then pass it to R.
X + A + Y + B

Now R will add his salary and a random amount C to the total amount passed by Q.
X + A + Y + B + Z + C.

Now, R will pass this amount back to P. P will deduct the random amount added by him in the beginning.
X + Y + B + Z + C

He will now pass this amount to Q who will subtract the random amount he added in his turn.
X + Y + Z + C

He will pass this amount to R who will deduct his random amount.
X + Y + Z

Now this is the total sum of their salaries. R will tell it to P and Q and then each of them can find the average of their salaries by dividing the total amount with 3.

Solution:

Britney speaks truth on only Thursday.

Solution:

12 minutes

Explanation:
Yes, surely they can all make it out of the cave.

First, father and mother will go. Time taken = 2 minutes.
Father comes back. Time taken = 2 + 1 = 3 minutes.
Both children go. Time taken = 3 + 5 = 8 minutes.
Mother comes back. Time taken = 8 + 2 = 10 minutes.
Mother and Father go. Time taken = 10 + 2 = 12 minutes.

Thus in 12 minutes, all of them will be out of the cave through the tunnel.
