Breakfast and Lunch…!

60

10 Apples.

Out of 10, half (5) plus 1 = 6 was given to Jacob, leaving 4 remaining.
Out of the 4, half (2) plus 1 = 3 was given to James, leaving just one with John.

The answer depends om what is meant by “meet”. If it means touching a specific point / line (crossing), both will be at the SAME distance – say, X km from A and Y km from B, so that X + Y 100. ((To be more precise,43.33 km from A and 56.67 km from B.)

On the other hand,  if ‘meet‘ is taken in its ‘casual meaning’ of ‘seeing each other‘,  then, when they meet, John will be closer to A (some distance less than 43.33km) whereas Jacob will be at some distance more than that, whereas he will be closer to B, his starting point.

If we pick any number of balls up to 12, it is possible that the set may be composed of max. 3 balls of one colour. (i.e., 3 balls each of each color)  However, if we pick 13 balls, there must be at least four balls of same colour.

58

58 = 3 x 19 + 1;
58 = 4 x 14  + 2;
58 = 5 x 11 + 3;
58 = 6 x 9 + 4.

It IS illegal to bury any person LIVING anywhere, anywhere because it would amount to murder.

The parrot owner / shopkeeper had said that his parrot … repeats everything he hears‘. The parrot was deaf, so he couldn’t hear anything. So there was no way he could say anything. (The owner / shopkeeper hadn’t said anything about the parrot being able to hear! So he didn’t lie – or, at least, it’s impossible to prove that he lied about the parrot’s ability to speak.
