Solution:

Hussey should have Amy Hussey pull the trigger again without spinning.

We know that the first chamber Amy Hussey fired was one of the four empty chambers. Since the bullets were placed in consecutive order, one of the empty chambers is followed by a bullet, and the other three empty chambers are followed by another empty chamber. So if Hussey has Amy Hussey pull the trigger again, the probability that a bullet will be fired is 1/4.

If Amy Hussey spins the chamber again, the probability that she shoots Hussey would be 2/6, or 1/3, since there are two possible bullets that would be in firing position out of the six possible chambers that would be in position.

Solution:

Set the first switches on for abt 10min, and then switch on the second switch and then enter the room.
Three cases are possible
1.Bulb is on => second switch is the ans
2.Bulb is off and on touching bulb , you will find bulb to be warm
=>1st switch is the ans.
3.Bulb is off and on touching second bulb , you will find bulb to be normal(not warm)
=>3rd bulb is the ans.

Solution:

If we have to measure precisely, it is impossible. Because we are asked to measure odd number of liters whereas all the jars we have can contain only even liters of water.

Solution:

43

Let us break the problem into different parts.
We know that after six, all the numbers that are divisible by three can be ordered. This is because we can expand them as the sum off sixes and nines.
After twenty six, the numbers that are divisible by three if subtracted by twenty can also be ordered.
After forty six, all the numbers will fit in one of the already discussed category. Thus all the numbers can be ordered.
So forty three is the last number that does not come under any of the already discussed category.
44 = 20 + 6 * 4, 45 = 6 * 6 + 9

Solution:

One of the cop will move clockwise while the other will move anti-clockwise every day. In such a manner, they will catch the thief in minimum seven days.
