I went out to Amsterdam this summer. I spent the entire day there asking the same question to everyone I came across. Though I met around 7700 people from 23 different countries, everybody had a different answer to the same question.
We are given 100 pieces of a puzzle.
If fixing two components together is counted as 1 move ( a component can be one piece or an already fixed set of pieces),
How many moves do we need to fix the entire puzzle?
Two girls ate dinner together. They both ordered iced tea.
One girl drank them very fast and had finished five while the other had drunk just one.
The girl who drank one died while the other survived. All of the drinks were poisoned.
A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in one hand and a gun in the other. When Detective Sherlock Holmes came in, He immediately pressed the play button on the cassette. He said, “I have nothing else to live for. I can’t go on.” Then the sound of a gunshot.
After listening to the cassette tape, Sherlock Holmes concluded that it was not a suicide, but a homicide.
A man murders his wife with a knife in their car. Nobody is around to see this. He throws her out of the car being careful not to leave any fingerprints on her body. Next he throws the knife off of a cliff into a gorge where it will never be found and he goes home. An hour later the police call him and tell him that his wife has been murdered and he needs to come to the scene of the crime immediately. As soon as he arrives, he is arrested.
A dead body is found at the bottom of a multi-storey building. Seeing the position of the body, it is evident that the person jumped from one of the floors, committing suicide.
A detective, Sherlock Holmes is called to look after the case.
He goes to the first floor and walks in the room facing the direction in which the body was found. He opens the window in that direction and flips a coin towards the floor. Then he goes to the second floor and repeats the process. He keeps on doing this until he reaches the last floor.
Then, when he climbs down he tells the team that it is a murder not suicide.
A crime has been committed at Freemont Street. The main suspect is a man named Sean Baker. It was said that a man had been walking along the pathway when he was suddenly shot in the stomach.
The suspect had brown hair, blue eyes and wore a baggy Armani suit just like Sean Baker’s. Sean was asked to tell the story right from the beginning. “Well,” said Sean, “I was just hanging around the park when I saw this man walking along the pathway. Suddenly, a guy came up from behind him and shot him! I ran home as fast as I could.” The policemen asked him to give a description of the murderer. “He had a red moustache, red hair and a baggy Armani suit on.” “I think this man is telling a lie,” said one of the policemen.
