Solution:

Perhaps surprisingly, the apples now weigh 50 kilograms. The sack of apples originally weighed 100 kilograms, and 1 percent of its weight, or 1 pound, was non-water. If that 1 pound now makes up 2 percent of the total weight, then the total weight must be 50 kilograms.

Solution:

From left to right
#1 Mr. Reed Richard – Blue Marbles
#2 Ms. Sue Storm – Red Marbles
#3 Mr. Johnny Storm – White Marbles
#4 Mr. Ben Grimm – Green Marbles.

Let us label the houses from left to right as #1, #2, #3, #4. Now let us split the hints in different category.
a) Mr. Reed Richard’s house is to the left of the green marbles one
b) The third one is made of white marbles
c) Ms. Sue Storm owns a red marbles house
d) Mr. Johnny Storm does not live on either ends
e) Mr. Johnny Storm lives right of the blue marbles house
f) Mr. Ben Grimm lives in the fourth house
g) The first house is not made up of red marbles

By seeking all the (g) and (b), we are sure that the #1 is not made up of red marbles and nor is the #3. Now with (f) we know that Mr. Ben Grimm lives in #4 made up of green marbles and keeping in mind (c) #2 must be made of Red Marbles and Ms. Sue Storm lives there. Now moving to the hint (d) Mr. Johnny Storm must be living in #3 and adding up with hint (b), it must be made from white marbles. Now by hint (a) #4 must be made up of green marbles (or Mr. Reed Richard’s house can’t be on its left). Also by (f) Mr. Ben Grimm lives there. All of it leaves Mr. Reed Richards living in #1 with blue marbles construction.

Solution:

987,654

Let us assume with a smaller number and then increase the number by extrapolating. If there are two citizens, the number of hairs on their heads will be zero and one. Therefore for ‘n’ number of citizens, the hair distribution will range from 0 to (n-1).

If you take up a case of a number greater than 987,654 let’s say 987,655; and consider the fact that none of the citizens have 987,654 hairs and they must be having different number of hairs, one must be having more than 987,654 hairs which is bluntly violating the fact of the town that there are more citizens than the hairs on any individual.

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:

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:

Let us solve this problem with variables to find the general nature. Let us assume that there are x black chocolates and y white chocolates. Three things can happen when you take out two chocolates.
1) You take out two black chocolates.
Then, you will be replacing one black chocolate and so the jar will have x+1 black chocolates and y-2 white chocolates.
2) You take out two white chocolates.
Then, you will be replacing 1 black chocolate and so the jar will have x-1 black chocolates and y white chocolates.
3) You take out 1 black chocolate and 1 white chocolate. Then, you will be replacing a white chocolate and so the jar will have x-1 black chocolates and y white chocolates.
Thus at every step, you are wither removing a black chocolate or replacing two white chocolates by one black chocolate irreversibly till there is just one chocolate left. Therefore each white chocolate is equivalent to two black chocolates.

This, if the number of white chocolates are odd in number, the last one remaining will be white chocolate and if the number of white chocolates are even in number, the last one remaining will be black chocolate.

Solution:

The Pink servant is the truthful one.

In order to prove the same, let us take all of them one by one assuming that the selected one is telling the truth. This is because all of them are disagreeing with each other which means that three servants are lying while one is telling the truth.

Assume that the Orange servant is the truthful one. Under this condition, the orange one is having either 6 or 8 legs. And each of the other octopus is lying will then have 7 legs. Under this condition, the total number of legs will be 6 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 27 legs or 8 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 29 legs. But the Orange servant said that they have 28 legs all together. Thus he is lying.

Now if we simply follow the same logic with all other servants as well, we will come up to the conclusion that only the Pink servant is truthful.

Solution:

If you look into the picture, you can see the cut lines. If the four people cut along with the lines, each one of them will have 1/5th of the cake.

Solution:

12 minutes

Explanation:
Yes, surely they can all make it out of the cave.

First, father and mother will go. Time taken = 2 minutes.
Father comes back. Time taken = 2 + 1 = 3 minutes.
Both children go. Time taken = 3 + 5 = 8 minutes.
Mother comes back. Time taken = 8 + 2 = 10 minutes.
Mother and Father go. Time taken = 10 + 2 = 12 minutes.

Thus in 12 minutes, all of them will be out of the cave through the tunnel.

Solution:

It is a lateral thinking puzzle and thus it's not about anything logical.

The man who walked in the movie theater was once a father of twin brothers. Despite of the fact that they were twins, their nature was starkly opposite. While David was quite peaceful and generous, Robin was very rude and violent.

On a certain day, David came running to the man and told him that Robin had killed a man. The man rushed to the crime scene with his son and saw that the man was dead with Robin near the body. He started fighting with Robin and accidentally killed him. The police arrested the man and he was sent to prison for ten years. While in his first month at the prison, he received a letter from his son which said that he was not interested in meeting him ever and that he can't forgive his father for what he did to his brother.

After ten years, he was released and came out of the prison only to know that his son was now a small time movie star and his latest movie was running in a nearby theater. While watching the movie, he smiled when he saw his son David on screen. But the next moment, the camera shifted on his arm where he saw a birthmark that belonged to Robin. He realized that on that day the one who came to him was not David but Robin and he actually killed David.

Filled with a grief and shock he decided to take his own life. He would have never forgiven himself for what he did to his son David.
