Solution:

The five cards must contain at least one card of the same suit.
Let's assume Rhodes placed one of the two cards of the same suit at the end and the second card was given to Daniel.
In that case, Daniel will know the suit of the card.

Now the real question is how Rhodes made sure that Daniel also knows the number of the card.

Daniel got four cards and one of them will determine the suit, so we are left with 3 cards.
3 cards can be arranged in 3! ways i.e. 6 ways but our card numbers can vary from 1 to 13.
Since we have two cards of the same suit we will make sure that we don't pick the King (13). This leaves us with 12 numbers.

We can also distinguish card from upside down position, therefore, we now have 6 * 2 ways to arrange these card.
"TADA.... We cracked the magic trick".

Let us assume that the smallest card is C1U (upwards position) and C1D (downwards position). Similarly, we have C2U, C2D, C3U and C3D

According to that, the 12 possible arrangements are:
C1U C2U C3U => NUMBER 1
C1U C3U C2U => NUMBER 2
C2U C1U C3U => NUMBER 3
C2U C3U C1U => NUMBER 4
C3U C1U C2U => NUMBER 5
C3U C2U C1U => NUMBER 6
C1D C2D C3D => NDMBER 7
C1D C3D C2D => NDMBER 8
C2D C1D C3D => NDMBER 9
C2D C3D C1D => NDMBER 10
C3D C1D C2D => NDMBER 11
C3D C2D C1D => NDMBER 12

Please note that king (number 13) is not possible as discussed already.

Solution:

Cup2

As you can see, the flow of coffee to all cups is blocked. However, Cup 2 can be filled when the coffee overflows from the pipe, as demonstrated in the picture below.

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:

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:

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 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:

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.
