One snowy night, Sherlock Holmes was in his house sitting by a fire. All of a sudden a snowball came crashing through his window, breaking it. Holmes got up and looked out the window just in time to see three neighborhood kids who were brothers run around a corner. Their names were John Crimson, Mark Crimson and Paul Crimson.
The next day Holmes got a note on his door that read ‘? Crimson. He broke your window.’
Which of the three Crimson brothers should Sherlock Holmes question about the incident?
Max leaves a $100,000 dollar bill on his desk and leaves work. When Max returns the money is gone.
He has three suspects: the cook, the cleaning lady, and the mail guy. The cooksays he put the money under a book on his desk to keep it safe. They check and it is no longer there. The maid says she moved it when she was cleaning to the inside of the book between page 1 and 2. They open the book and look between page number 1 and 2 but it isn’t there. The mail guy says he saw it sticking out of the book and to keep it safe he moved it to between page number 2 and 3.
Once they are done the culprit is promptly arrested.
Two men are in a desert. They both have packs on. One of the guys is dead. The guy who is alive has his pack open; the guy who is dead has his pack closed.
Your last good ping-pong ball fell down into a narrow metal pipe embedded in concrete one foot deep.
How can you get it out undamaged, if all the tools you have are your tennis paddle, your shoe-laces, and your plastic water bottle, which does not fit into the pipe?
You’re in a mansion and the power’s out.
You see a green door and a red door. Pick one (it doesn’t matter which.)
Now,
You see a purple door and a orange door. Pick one (again, it doesn’t matter which you pick).
Now,
You see a door with a golden handle and a door with a silver handle. Pick one.
You finally come to some signs on three doors.
One says “Death from drowning,” another says “Death from machine guns,” and the last one says “Death from electric chair.” Then you see a big sign off to the side that says “Orstay in the mansion and starve to death.”
You’re driving off-road in the middle of the desert when you get a flat tire. You take out the spare tire, and then remove the flat one. Unfortunately, you accidentally drop all four lug nuts (the nuts that hold the tire on) down a hole that is ten feet deep and only a few inches wide.
You’ll die of thirst if you can’t find a way to put that spare tire on securely enough to drive out of the desert. Just using what is normally available in any car.
Can you come up with at least one way to solve this problem?
A person has uncovered a secret that was a mystery for ages. He transfers the data into his hard drive and encrypts the drive with a password. Then, he writes a line on a paper to remember the password.
The line says ‘You force heaven to be empty‘.
Can you decrypt the line to reveal the password if you know that the password is seven characters long that comprise of just letters and numbers?
