Can you arrange the following figures in two groups of four figures each so that each group shall add to the same sum?
1 2 3 4 5 7 8 9
If you were allowed to reverse the 9 so as to change it into the missing 6 it would be very easy. For example, 1,2,7,8 and 3, 4,5,6 add up to 18 in both cases. But you are not allowed to make any such reversal.View SolutionSubmit Solution- 1,864.1K views

On one of the escalators on the London subway I find that if I walk down twenty-six steps I require thirty seconds to get to the bottom, but if I make thirty-four steps I require only eighteen seconds to reach the bottom. What is the height of the stairway in steps? The time is measured from the moment the top step begins to descend to the time I step off the last step at the bottom onto the level platform.

In a dream, I was travelling in a country where they had strange ways of doing things. One little incident was fresh in my memory when I awakened. I saw a clock and announced the time as it appeared to be indicated, but my guide corrected me.
He said, “You are apparently not aware that the minute hand always moves in the opposite direction to the hour hand. Except for this improvement, our clocks are precisely the same as. those you have been accustomed to.” Since the hands were exactly together between the hours of four and five o clock, and they started together at noon, what is the real time?View SolutionSubmit Solution- 1,865.9K views

A correspondent informs us that on Armistice Day (November 11, 1928) he had lived as long in the twentieth century as he had lived in the nineteenth. This tempted us to work out the day of his birth. Perhaps the reader may like to do the same. We will assume he was born at midday

Here is an ancient puzzle that has always perplexed some people. Two market women were selling their apples, one at three for a penny and the other at two for a penny. One day they were both called away when each had thirty apples unsold: these they handed to a friend to sell at five for 2¢. It will be seen that if they had sold their apples separately they would have fetched 25¢, but when they were sold together they fetched only 24¢.
“Now,” people ask, “what in the world has become of that missing penny?” because, it is said, three for l¢ and two for l¢ is surely exactly the same as five for 2¢.
Can you explain the little mystery?View SolutionSubmit Solution- 1,867.8K views
