  • A traveller, on his way to Mexico City, reaches a road junction, where he can turn left or right. He knows that only one of the two roads leads to Mexico City, but unfortunately, he does not know which one. Fortunately, he sees two friends standing at the road junction, and he decides to ask them for directions.

    The traveller knows that one of the two friends always tells the truth and the other one always lies. Unfortunately, he does not know which one always tells the truth and which one always lies.

    How can the traveller find out the way to Mexico City by asking just one question to one of the two brothers?

  • A bath tub has two taps for cold and hot water to fill and a plugged hole to drain the water.

    The cold tap on its own fills the tub in 12 minutes, the hot one in 5 minutes.

    The plug hole can drain the tub in 30 minutes with the taps off.

    How long will the bath tub take to fill if I leave both taps on with the plug left out?
