Solution:

It is best if the person sits on the back of the train. After the stop, the train will be accelerating as it goes into the tunnel. Thus the train will be much master when the back of the train enters the tunnel. In this way, he will have to spend much less time in the tunnel.

Solution:

101/125

Explanation:
This is an extremely tricky question. You have to find the probability where all of them have same number in mind. But if you try to do that, you will have to do a lot of calculations and utilize your brain plenty much. However, the trick to do this question is something opposite. We are not implying that you won’t get answer by directly calculating the probabilities, but it will take much time.

However, if you just go on calculating the negative probabilities, then you can simply subtract it from 1 to find the positive probability. Let us begin the operations and not confuse you further more.

Let us take two friends in the beginning. The probability that Adam and Bella don’t have the same number in their respective mind will be 4/5.

Now let us include Christopher in the scene. The probability that Christopher don’t have a digit same as either Adam or Bella will be 3/5.

Let us now include Drew as well. The probability that she does not have any number in mind which is same as either Adam or Bella or Christopher will be 2/5.

Now the combined probability that none of them has the same number in mind will be:
4/5 * 3/5 * 2/5 = 24/125

Now the probability that they have same number in mind will be:
1 – 24/125 = 101/125

Solution:

The pills can run for an hour.

Explanation:
If you had ninety minutes in mind, then you are wrong. You took the first pill at the zero minute. Then you took the second pill after 30 minutes and the third pill after 30 + 30 i.e. 60 minutes or an hour.

Solution:

8 liters jar: 8; 5 liters jar: 0; 3 liters jar: 0
Fill 5 liters jar entirely.
8 liters jar: 3; 5 liters jar: 5; 3 liters jar: 0
Fill 3 liters jar with 5 liters jar.
8 liters jar: 3; 5 liters jar: 2; 3 liters jar: 3
Pour entirely from 3 liters jar to 8 liters jar.
8 liters jar: 6; 5 liters jar: 2; 3 liters jar: 0
Pour entirely from 5 liters jar to 3 liters jar.
8 liters jar: 6; 5 liters jar: 0; 3 liters jar: 2
Fill 5 liters jar with water from 8 liters jar.
8 liters jar: 1; 5 liters jar: 5; 3 liters jar: 2
Fill the 3 liters jar with water from the 5 liters jar.
8 liters jar: 1; 5 liters jar: 4; 3 liters jar: 3
Empty 3 liters jar in 8 liters jar.
8 liters jar: 4; 5 liters jar: 4; 3 liters jar: 0

Now you have 4 liters of water in 8 liters jar as well as 5 liters jar.

Solution:

The 100th statement for sure is incorrect because it says that at least 100 of the statements are incorrect.

Suppose if that is correct, then 100 statements cannot be true.
This suggests that the 100th statement is incorrect and that the first statement is true.

Similarly 99 statements cannot be true because if they were true, then two statements would become correct i.e. the 1st and the 99th.
But the 99th statement says that at least 99 are incorrect.
This suggests that the 99th statement is incorrect and that 2ndone is true.

If we keep analyzing is the same way till the end, we will find out that only the first fifty statements are true and all the remaining ones are incorrect.

Solution:

This is more of a philosophical question than being a riddle or a puzzle. The action of Brian directly led to the result which is the death of Chris. Thus he murdered Chris. In a sense, Chris died due to the lack of water. It is the circumstances that ultimately led to his death.

Solution:

* First, the fireman and the athlete will go spending two minutes.
* The fireman will come back taking one minute.
* The drunk guy and the old lady will go spending five minutes.
* The athlete will come back taking two minutes.
* The athlete and fireman will go spending two minutes.

Two + One + Five + Two + Two = Twelve.

Thus all of them will be out of the house before it collapses.

Solution:

Fifteen Minutes.

After frying for five minutes, you can take out one steak and put the third one inside while turning the other one inside. After five more minutes, one steak is fried from both sides and you can take it out. Now put in the steak that we removed and turn the other one inside. After five more minutes, they both will also be fried from both sides.

Solution:

Put one black rock in one sack and put all the rest in the other one. In such manner you will get about 3/4 probability of surviving.

Solution:

Fifteen minutes can easily be measure using these two hour glasses.

Step 1: He will start both the hourglass.

Step 2: The moment the eleven minute hourglass is empty, he will invert it.

Step 3: When the thirteen minutes hourglass is empty, he will invert the eleven minute hourglass.
In step 3, we will have counted thirteen minutes. Since we inverted the eleven minute hourglass in step 2, it started from fresh and was inverted just for two minutes (13-11=2). In this manner when it is reversed when the thirteen minute hourglass is finished, it will have two minutes of sand left. This time when the sand finishes, he will have measured fifteen minutes. (13+2=15)
