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:

3 1 2 2 1 1
1 3 1 1 2 2 2 1

Read Line as one 1 => 1
Read Line 2 as two one => 2 1
Read Line 3 as one two and one one => 1 2 1 1
and so on.

Solution:

98

2+3=2*[3+(2-1)]=8
3+7=3*[7+(3-1)]=27
4+5=4*[5+(4-1)]=32
5+8=5*[8+(5-1)]=60
6+7=6*[7+(6-1)]=72
therefore
7+8=7*[8+(7-1)]=98
x+y=x[y+(x-1)]=x^2+xy-x

Solution:

3,3,8

Lets break it down. The product of their ages is 72. So what are the possible choices?

2, 2, 18 sum(2, 2, 18) = 22
2, 4, 9 sum(2, 4, 9) = 15
2, 6, 6 sum(2, 6, 6) = 14
2, 3, 12 sum(2, 3, 12) = 17
3, 4, 6 sum(3, 4, 6) = 13
3, 3, 8 sum(3, 3, 8 ) = 14
1, 8, 9 sum(1,8,9) = 18
1, 3, 24 sum(1, 3, 24) = 28
1, 4, 18 sum(1, 4, 18) = 23
1, 2, 36 sum(1, 2, 36) = 39
1, 6, 12 sum(1, 6, 12) = 19

The sum of their ages is the same as your birth date. That could be anything from 1 to 31 but the fact that Torres was unable to find out the ages, it means there are two or more combinations with the same sum. From the choices above, only two of them are possible now.

2, 6, 6 sum(2, 6, 6) = 14
3, 3, 8 sum(3, 3, 8 ) = 14

Since the eldest kid is taking piano lessons, we can eliminate combination 1 since there are two eldest ones. The answer is 3, 3 and 8.

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:

The minimum number of moves required to finish a chess game is two. As illustrated in the video below.

Solution:

Letter "D"

The sequence "JFMAMJJASON" represents the first letter of each month in a calendar year. Following the pattern, the next letter in the sequence should be "D" for December. So, the complete sequence for a calendar year would be:

J - January
F - February
M - March
A - April
M - May
J - June
J - July
A - August
S - September
O - October
N - November
D - December

Therefore, "D" is the next letter in the sequence.

Solution:

The lady on the far right has the same mark on her upper arm as the two boys, and she also has two ice cream cones.

Solution:

Look at the marked lady and look at her feet. She has two left feet.

Solution:

A) The caretaker

There is no blood, but the woman is dead. Her mouth and eyes are also open. She was put to death using a non-bleeding technique.

The chef with the knives and the waitress with the gun couldn't have murdered the woman.

Therefore, the murderer who used a rope to strangle the victim is the caretaker.
