  • 25 Fruits

    Remember we told you that Birbal is a witty trader. So his sole motive is to get rid of the sacks as fast as he can.

    For the first sack:
    He must be able to fill fruits from one sack to other two sacks. Assume that he is able to do that after M check points. Now to find M,

    (Space in first sack) M + (Space in second sack) M = (Remaining fruits in Third Sack) 30 – M
    M = 10

    Thus after 10 checkpoints, Birbal will be left with only 2 sacks containing 30 fruits each.

    Now he must get rid of the second sack.
    For that, he must fill the fruits from second sack to the first sack. Assume that he manages to do that after N checkpoints.

    (Space in First Sack) N = (Remaining fruits in second sack) 30 – N
    N = 15

    Thus after he has crossed 25 checkpoints, he will be left be one sack with 30 fruits in it. He has to pass five more checkpoints where he will have to give five fruits and he will be left with twenty five fruits once he has crossed all thirty check points.

  • Rohan kept his finger in the center of the table (not the exact center). The interviewer asked him how he was so sure that this was the exact center. He told the interviewer that according to the interviewer, his last question had already been asked.

    The interviewer was impressed by his quick witted brain and he was offered the job.

  • After Tom realized he was going to lose he finds that the only way to live is to replace his poison with something that isn’t poison at all and drink a poison of his own before the contest. In this way he drinks his own weaker poison then neutralizes it with Bob’s stronger poison. Last he drinks the non-poison he submitted to the contest.

    Once Bob realizes that this is the only way Tom can save himself he figures out that he can save himself by either drinking a weaker poison before the contest so his neutralizes it in the contest or submit a non-poison to the contest as well. If he drinks a weaker poison before the contest both Tom and Bob will live and the King will realize that they are disobeying his orders which probably won’t turn out well. But by submitting a non-poison to the contest as well Tom will end up drinking the weaker poison before the contest and the two non-poisons in the contest and he will still die, and the King will be none the wiser (although he will not get what he wants being that both of the poisons actually aren’t poisons at all).

    The German. It’s easiest to solve this riddle by creating a grid organized by order of the houses, you can then fill in the house number of the Norwegian, the person who drinks milk, and the blue house:

    House # 1 2 3 4 5
    Color Blue
    Nationality Norwegian
    Drink Milk
    Smoke
    Pet

    These facts can all also be determined from the clues:

    Brit – Red House
    Swede – Dogs
    Dane – Tea
    Green House – Coffee
    Pall Mall – Birds
    Yellow House – Dunhill
    Blue-masters – Beer
    German – Prince
    Green House is to left of the White House
    Blends is next to Cats
    Horse is next to Dunhill
    Blends is next to Water

    With this information these facts can be determined:

    1. House 3 cannot be green because whoever lives there drinks milk and not coffee.
    2. House 4 must be green since the green house needs a white house to its right.
    3. House one cannot be red because the Brit doesn’t live there.

    This info leads to a single color order:

    House # 1 2 3 4 5
    Color Yellow Blue Red Green White
    Nationality Norwegian Brit
    Drink Milk Coffee
    Smoke Dunhill
    Pet

    The following information can now be determined:

    1. The horse has to be at house 2 because it is next to the Dunhills.
    2. House 1 and 3 can’t have birds, dogs, or Pall Malls.
    3. House 2 is where the Dane lives because of the horse.
    4. House 5 has the beer, Blue-masters, Swede, and dogs.
    House # 1 2 3 4 5
    Color Yellow Blue Red Green White
    Nationality Norwegian Dane Brit German Swede
    Drink Tea Milk Coffee Beer
    Smoke Dunhill Prince Blue-masters
    Pet Horse Dogs

    With this version of the table we can now find the information pertaining to solving the riddle completely:

    1. House 3 has to have the Pall Mall and birds.
    2. Since blends must be next to cats blends must be at house 2 and cats at house 1.
    3. The Norwegian has the water.
    4. The German is the only one without a pet so his a the fish!
    House # 1 2 3 4 5
    Color Yellow Blue Red Green White
    Nationality Norwegian Dane Brit German Swede
    Drink Water Tea Milk Coffee Beer
    Smoke Dunhill Blends Pall Mall Prince Blue-masters
    Pet Cate Horse Bird Fish Dogs
