  • Puzzles #851 - CLOWN AND THE KING PUZZLE

    While solving this puzzle its necessary to read every word with the highest precaution. It’s possible to uncover the solution either by precise analytic thinking or just using common sense.

    Once upon a time there was a kingdom. A king and a clown lived in this kingdom. Unfortunately they hated each other so they agreed that they will poison each other one day.

    There are only twelve vials of poison in whole kingdom and they are locked in one chamber in the castle.

    The poisons have numbers from 1 to 12. The higher the number the stronger the poison. Effect on human body is simple – you drink the poison, you die. Each stronger poison neutralizes all weaker poisons which means that poison 12 neutralizes all poisons, number 11 all poisons but 12 etc. (If you drink 11 and than 12 nothing happens. If you drink 12 and than 11 you die.)

    The king enters the chamber with poisons first and takes all the even poisons (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12). Than the clown enters and takes the rest. They meet in the throne hall where each fills one cup and hands it over to the other who immediately drinks it. Now each fills the cup once again, now for himself, and drinks it (hoping to save his own life).

    What did the clown do that he woke up the second morning and the king was dead?

    Premises: Each of them (the king and the clown) PRIMARILY wants to survive. If he survives he wants to poison the other as surely as possible. There is one dose of each poison – it’s not possible to divide it. The poisons are fluids without color or smell and they have the same consistency as water.

  • Puzzles #852 - What happened with the remaining one pound?

    It’s possible that you will figure out the solution of this puzzle before you even finish reading it but on the other hand you might stop believing in basic mathematic principles.

    Three lords enter a hotel. The receptionist at the front desk tells them that one room is 10 pounds so each of the gentlemen pay – 30 pounds altogether.

    When the porter wants to bring the luggage to lord’s rooms, hotel director rushes in to tell him that it was supposed to be only 25 pounds for the three rooms and he gives him the extra 5 pounds to return them to lords.

    The porter had no idea know how to divide 5 pounds between 3 gentlemen so he gave one pound to each of them and kept the remaining 2.

    Each lord paid 9 pounds (10 originally and got one back). 3×9=27. The porter kept two pounds. 27+2=29. What happened with the remaining one pound?

  • Puzzles #854 - How will dwarfs solve this problem?

    Most people solve this riddle immediately or it gives them really hard time. Although it might seem that solution doesn’t exist don’t give up. When you figure it out you’ll be surprised how easy it is. How will YOU do in this puzzle?

    Evil warlock doesn’t like dwarfs so he chooses four of them and buries them into the ground so that only their heads are above surface. Dwarfs can’t move at all and they can look only forward.

    They’re buried in a line and one of them is separated by a wall. They are all facing the same direction: last dwarf sees two heads of his friends and a wall. Second last sees only one had and a wall. Second dwarf sees only the wall and first is looking to the distance where he can see nothing interesting though.

    Warlock explains the situation to dwarfs and tells them that he has placed hats on their heads – two blue hats and two red ones. One of the dwarfs is supposed to say what color is the hat he is wearing. If he says the right color warlock will dig them out immediately. If he says something else all of them will stay there till the end…

    How will dwarfs solve this problem?

  • Puzzles #855 - What strategy could they use to ensure they will go free?

    There is a prison with 100 prisoners, each in separate cells with no form of contact. There is an area in the prison with a single light bulb in it. Each day, the warden picks one of the prisoners at random, even if they have been picked before, and takes them out to the lobby. The prisoner will have the choice to flip the switch if they want. The light bulb starts off.

    When a prisoner is taken into the area with the light bulb, he can also say “Every prisoner has been brought to the light bulb.” If this is true all prisoners will go free. However, if a prisoner chooses to say this and it’s wrong, all the prisoners will be executed. So a prisoner should only say this if he knows it is true for sure.

    Before the first day of this process begins, all the prisoners are allowed to get together to discuss a strategy to eventually save themselves.

    What strategy could they use to ensure they will go free?

    You are a prisoner. The only way to escape the prison is to walk down a very long hallway that takes 2 hours to get through.
