  • How many will survive?

    Prison guards are bored so during dinner they announce the prisoners that they will play a game:

    In the morning they will stand in a line so that every prisoner will see all standing in front of him but no one behind him. Guards will randomly paint red or white stripe on their back.

    They will ask prisoners one by one from the last to the first. They will be allowed to say just one word “red” or “white”. If the prisoner says the color he has on his back he may go home in opposite case he will be executed without delay.

    The prisoners are in one cell during the night and they can discuss the tactics.

    Which is the best? How many will survive?

  • The Vacation Puzzle

    One summer, five couples went on a cruise together for their vacations. The trip lasted for a week and the couples spent most of their time together. Each morning they would meet for breakfast and decide what to do for the day. On the fourth morning however, the ship stopped at a tropical island resort and the couples discovered that everyone wanted to do something different.

Being tourists, each couple gave into their urge to bring back a souvenir and by luck, they all brought back something different. Using the clues and the grid below, determine the first and last names of each couple, what they did for the day, and what souvenir they brought back.
