☞ This is an unusual paragraph. I’m curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching.

☞ The letter “e” is the most common letter in the English language, yet it never appears in the entire paragraph.

☞ A man in a restaurant asked a waiter for a juice glass, a dinner plate, water, a match, and a lemon wedge. The man poured enough water onto the plate to cover it.
"If you can get the water on the plate into this glass without touching or moving this plate, I will give you $100," the man said. "You can use the match and lemon to do this."
A few minutes later, the waiter walked away with $100 in his pocket. How did the waiter get the water into the glass?

👁‍🗨 View Answer 👁‍🗨

☞ First, the waiter stuck the match into the lemon wedge, so that it would stand straight. Then he lit the match, and put it in the middle of the plate with the lemon. Then, he placed the glass upside-down over the match. As the flame used up the oxygen in the glass, it created a small vacuum, which sucked in the water through the space between the glass and the plate. Thus, the waiter got the water into the glass without touching or moving the plate.
You can try this experiment at home with appropriate supervision.

☞ You are in a dark room. There are 50 coins placed on table, out of which 10 coins are showing tails and 40 coins heads. Divide this set into 2 groups (not necessarily same size) such that both groups have same number of coin showing tails?

👁‍🗨 View Answer 👁‍🗨

☞ Just pick 10 coins and 40 coins from the original 50 coins randomly and make 2 groups of 10 (group 1) and 40 (group 2) coins.
Now we just flip (upside down) the coins in the group of 10 and you get what you desire i.e same no of coins showing tails in both group.
How ?
You have groups of 40 and 10 coins. So the possibilities are
• Group 1- 10 Tails, Group 2 - 40 Heads. So when you flip the coins of Group 1, there will be 10 Heads and no Tail in Group 1 and 40 H and 0 T in Group 2. So 0 tails in both group..
• Group 1-9T,1H, ; Group2- 1T ,39H..Flipping Group 1-1T, 9H and Group 2- 1T and 39 H..So 1 tail in both groups.

together for a horse race. He said "Whoever's horse crosses the
finish line last gets my kingdom. So, they both started out very
slow until they came to a man on the side of the road. He
asked why they were riding so slow. They told him their story
and the man gave them two words of advice. After hearing
these words, they took off as fast as they could. What were the
two words of advice?

☞ A windowless room contains three identical light fixtures, each containing an identical light bulb or light globe. Each light is connected to one of three switches outside of the room. Each bulb is switched off at present. You are outside the room, and the door is closed. Before opening the door you may play around with the light switches as many times as you like. But once you've opened the door, you may no longer touch a switch. After this, you go into the room and examine the lights. How can you tell which switch goes to which light?

👁‍🗨 View Answer 👁‍🗨

☞ • Switch on switches 1 & 2, wait a moment and switch off number 2.
• Enter the room. Whichever bulb is on is wired to switch 1, whichever is off and hot is wired to switch number 2, and the third is wired to switch 3.
Obviously any combination would work. It doesn't have to be switches 1 & 2 you flick, any two will be fine, so long as you can remember which. There is another possible answer, this involves switching on 1, then waiting a while and switching on 2. When you get in to the room two of the bulbs will be on but one will be much hotter. It's valid, but there are several reasons why this is not as good.

☞ Last week, the local Primary school was visited by the Government School Inspector who was there to check that
teachers were performing well in their respective classes.
He was very impressed with one particular teacher. The Inspector noticed that each time the class teacher asked a question, every child in the class put up their hands enthusiastically to answer it.
More surprisingly, whilst the teacher chose a different child to answer the questions each time, the answers were always correct.
Why would this be?
Hint: 1. The class teacher asked many questions.
2. All the children were normal kids and all of them
3. The children were not prompted beforehand
4. Not all the children knew the answers, but they
raised their hands.
With the questions or answers.
still put up their hands.

👁‍🗨 View Answer 👁‍🗨

☞ The children were instructed to ALL raise their hands whenever a question was asked. It did not matter whether they knew the answer or not.
If they did not know the answer, however, they would raise their LEFT hand.
If they knew the answer, they would raise their RIGHT hand.
The class teacher would choose a different child each time, but always the ones who had their RIGHT hand
raised.

☞ Ray Whitcombe is found dead in his office at his desk. The police have narrowed the suspects down to three people: Mrs. Barbara Whitcombe, Ray’s wife; Mr. Jason McCubbins, Ray’s business partner; and Mr. Harold Nichols, Ray’s best friend. All three visited Mr. Whitcombe the day of his murder, but all three provide the police with stories of explanation as to the reason for their visit. Police found Mr. Whitcombe with his wrist watch still on his right arm, a torn up picture of his wife laying on the floor beside the trash can, and an ink pen in his right hand.

On the desk, the police found a name plate, a telephone that was off the hook, and a personal calendar turned to the July 5th page with 7B91011 written on it. After examining this evidence, the police knew their suspect.

Who was it?

👁‍🗨View Answer👁‍🗨

☞ Jason McCubbins, Ray’s business partner.
The calendar was the clue to solving this murder.

The police realized that since Mr. Whitcombe was wearing his watch on his right arm, he must have been left-handed. Realizing that the number on the calendar was written in a hurry and with his opposite hand, police matched the written number with the months of the year. So the B was an 8, thereby giving us 7-8-9-10-11: July, August, September, October, November. Use the first letter of each month and it spells J-A-S-O-N.

If only one of above statement is right, what day of week was it?

👁‍🗨 View Answer 👁‍🗨

☞ Wednesday.

It is Wednesday. If it was any other day of the week, more than one statement would
be true. To solve the riddle, evaluate each person's statement and write down what
day it could be according to the statement.

David's statement indicates it could be any day of the week except for Wednesday.
When you list the days that it could be according to everyone's statement, it turns
out Wednesday is the day mentioned only one time.

Tracy: Monday

mellissa : Saturday

Ben: Thursday

Adrienne: Saturday
