The clock need not be behind the stabbed man. Further, as per the question, he “stares at the clock“. ‘Staring’ at something would be a tough task when the object is behind you.

So, he stared at the clock, kept staring, and, with every minute and every second passing by, he got more and more anxious and tense, and just as the 5-min deadline was reaching, he could no more suppress his anxiety and turned back to see whether someone is sneaking up behind him to stab him. At that very moment, the other man (who made the ‘prediction’) stabbed him.

Could be an egg… but the “fountain”…?

The lawyer could be a LADY. Hence can’t be  a ‘priest’. (But then, she can neither “wish” to be a priest!)

Travelling need not be in same direction. Assume a repeated to-and-fro walk between two points over a short distance. In this condition, in every trip, the hind legs will travel slightly less (say, a couple of  feet, being the distance between the pairs of legs). When this movement is repeated many times, the shortage will add up.

Another (theoretical) possibility is a walk along a circular path. In this case, the legs on the inside of the path will travel less (because they move in a slightly smaller circle compared to the outer ones). But since the distance between the pairs of legs (right & left) is very small (a few inches only),  it will be practically impossible to get a difference of 1 km.

The result of Step 4 in the answer given by Srivani can be reached easier, in 3 simple steps, as follows:

Initially, the entire milk is in 12 Ltr jar. 

Step 1: Fill the 8 Ltr jar. => 12 Ltr Jar has 4 ltr. left, and 8 Ltr Jar has 8 Ltrs.
Step 2: Fill the 5 Ltr. jar from the 8 Ltr. jar.  => 12 Ltr Jar has 4 ltr. as before, 8 Ltr jar has 3 Ltr. left, and 5 Ltr jar has 5 ltrs.
Step 3: Empty the 5 Ltr jar into the 12 Ltr jar to get the same postion as Step 4.

Rest of the moves as given in the answer.

Multiple answers possible.

1. 10th May, Saturday

As per the statement of the puzzle, one of them got ALL wrong, one got TWO things wrong and other, ONE thing  wrong.

Dates given:

Thursday, 8th May — TWO things (day & date) wrong.
Thursday, 10th May: ONE thing (day) wrong.
Friday, 8th June:  ALL wrong.

2. 8th June, Sunday

Thursday, 8th May — TWO things (day & month) wrong.
Thursday, 10th May: ALL wrong.
Friday, 8th June:  ONE thing (day) wrong.

If the surgical gloves are such that:

1. You can wear at least two pairs one over the other comfortably
AND
2. they can be worn inside – out without fear of infection or any other complications,

the doctor can proceed:

Step 1: Wear both pairs of gloves one over the other. Operate first patient.
Step 2: Remove the outer pair. Operate the second patient.
Step 3: Turn the first pair inside out and wear them over the second one.  Proceed to operate patient No. 3.

Answer – The Silver Pot contains the treasure

The statements:
(S) The silver pot: “This pot is empty.”
(G) The golden pot: “Exactly one of these texts is true.”

Premise: Let S be TRUE:

Assumption 1: ‘G’ is also true

This will contradict itself, because , as per the statement, only one of S / G can be true AND S is already true, which implies that G must be false, contradicting the assumption.

Assumption 2: G is False

Then either BOTH S and G should be TRUE OR both should be false. But since our premise is that S is true, this means G also must be true, again contradicting the assumption.

Thus, both the scenarios end up self-contradictory, which, in turn, implies that our premise must be wrong. So, ‘S’ must be false.

Then, G can be true, because only one statement (G) is true.

Hence the result: The label on silver pot is wrong => It is NOT  empty => contains the treasure.
