Solution:

The correct answer to this twisted problem is four times.

You can try solving the problem with the help of two coins and if you are unable to understand, you may even disassemble some clockwork to find out.

Now to explain it, it is evident that the small one will turn 3 times against the big one. The reason is because it has 8 teeth which is 1/3 of the big one (24). But now we want the big wheel to stop and the small one to turn around the big one. In this process, the small one will make an additional turn on its way around the big one. This makes a total of four turns.

Solution:

The answer is simple. The trains will be at same distance from Point P when they meet speaking on approximation. However, the train A will be closer to the point P by its own length if we are not taking meeting of train as perfectly overlapping.

Solution:

He will hang clock number 315 at 7:30pm. The person has been hanging the clock number which corresponds with the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand of the clock at that time.

Solution:

Form an equilateral triangle. Now place three cones on the vertices. Now place one cone on each of the three edges, at their middle point. The last cone must be kept at the centroid of the triangle.

In this manner, you will get 3 rows corner to corner and 3 rows via the centroid and each will have 3 cones only.

Solution:

The dead man used an ice knife to commit suicide. The ice held the knife pointing upwards as he dropped on the chair with his back facing the knife. Later, the ice melted leaving moisture around the body.

Solution:

The person should say, "I will be burned alive".

Solution:

First James will point toward any rest room and ask that person, 'Is this rest room meant for males?' The person will reply with yes or no. He must remember the word. Now he will point towards himself and ask 'Am I a male?' If the person replies with the same word, then he pointed in the right direction. But if he replies with another word, then he pointed in the wrong direction.

Solution:

You can put one precious stone in any one of the bag and all the rest in the other bag. If you do it, you will get just a shade under ¾ probability of picking up a precious stone.

Solution:

Suppose if there is just one unfaithful husband, then his wife will kill her husband as she must be knowing that all other men are faithful but the queen declared that one of them all is unfaithful.

If there are two unfaithful husbands, then both their wives will believe there is just one unfaithful husband, that too the other one whom she knows. Thus both of them will expect the above case to happen at midnight. But when no one is shot, they will realize that there are two unfaithful husbands and since they know about everyone, they will know that the other unfaithful man is their own husband on the next day.

If there are three unfaithful husbands, each of their wives will be knowing about two other unfaithful men so they will be expecting the above case and will be waiting for the gunshots on the second day. When that does not happens, they will realize that there are more than two and since they all will know about the rest, they will realize that their own husband is unfaithful and they will kill him on the third day.

Thus if we talk about general terms and suppose that there are n unfaithful husbands, their wives will believe that there is n-1 unfaithful husbands and will expect the gunshot on n-1 day. When they don’t hear that, they will realize their own husband is the nth.

Solution:

As per the question, in the beginning
A = 0
B = 0
C = 5
D = 5

Pouring C into B
A = 0
B = 4
C = 1
D = 5

Pouring half of B into C
A = 0
B = 2
C = 3
D = 5

Pouring D into A
A = 3
B = 2
C = 3
D = 2

Pouring A into B
A = 1
B = 4
C = 3
D = 2

Pouring half of B into D
A = 1
B = 2
C = 3
D = 4

Hence we have achieved what was asked.
