different speed. John walks at a speed of 1 min, his brother jack walks at 3 min, his mother Julie walks at 6 min, his father Jeff
walks at 8 min and his grandpa George walks at 12 min. A pair must walk together at the rate of the slower person. How can John's
family cross the bridge?
Puzzle 6: Milkcans

to find the overweight ball?
Puzzle 8: Identical Balls 2
There are 27 identical balls. In that one of the balls is overweight. There are only three chances to weigh in the weighing machine.
How to find the overweight ball?
Puzzle 9: Clock
Divide the clock's face into three equal parts exactly with two lines. Therefore the sum of the numbers in the three equal parts
should be same.
Puzzle 10: Blueberries and Cups
Maria have some blueberries and some cups. If she put 9 blueberries into each cup she will have two cups left. If she put 6
blueberries into each cup she will have three blueberries left over.
Puzzle 11: Socks and Shoes

bare feet?
Puzzle 12: Latin and Greek
In a group of 15, 7 have studied Latin, 8 have studied Greek, and 3 have not studied either, how many of these studied both Latin
and Greek.

It is a strange sequence. Each number describes the resemblance of the previous one, except the first one.
11 describes the previous '1' which contains one '1'
21 describes the previous '11' which contains two '1'
1211 describes the previous '21' which contains one '2' and one '1'
111221 describes the previous '1211' which contains one '1', one '2' and two '1'.
So the next sequence will be 312211, that is the previous '111221' contains three '1', two '2' and one '1'.
The number of parrots is equal to number of cages multiplied by 4 minus one left.
That is :
P = 4(C - 1) -> (1)
Then the number of parrots will be equal to the number of cages times three plus one left.
That is :
P = 3C + 1 -> (2)
Now substitute the 1st and 2nd equations:
P = 4(C - 1)
P = 3C + 1
C = 5, P = 16.
Therefore Parrots = 16 and cages = 5.
First day it jumps 5 meters and falls 4 meters. Now it will be at a height of 1 meter.
Second day it jumps to 6 meters and falls back to 2 meter.
Third day it jumps to 7 meters and falls back to 3 meter.
..........
..........
Fifteenth day it jumps to 19 meters and falls back to 15 meters.
Finally, sixteenth day it jumps to 20 meters, but now the frog have reached the top of the well.
So the Frog reaches the top of the well at the sixteenth day.
First Jim and Jeanne walks across the bridge, it takes 2 minutes.
Jim walks back with the torch light, which takes 1 minute.
Then Louis and Anne walk on the bridge, which takes 10 minutes.
Jeanne comes back with the torch light, it takes 2 minutes.
Finally Jim and Jeanne walks across the bridge, which takes 2 minutes.
Total = 2 + 1 + 10 + 2 + 2 = 17 minutes.
First John and his brother Jack cross the bridge, which takes 3 minutes.
After this, John walks back with lamp, it takes 1 minute. Then Johns gives the lamp to his father Jeff and grandpa George.
Jeff and George cross the bridge with 12 minutes.
Jack returns back with the lamp, which takes 3 minutes and handover the lamp to john.
John and his mother Julie crosses the bridge, it takes 6 minutes.
Now again john takes the lamp and cross the bridge with 1 minute.
Finally John and Jack cross the bridge with 3 minutes.
Total = 3 + 1 + 12 + 3 + 6 + 1 + 3 = 29 minutes
There is 1 minute left!

First weigh 3 against 3 balls. If the ball contains among these six balls, then take the three balls which weighed over, and
weigh the ball 1 against 1. If the balls are not equal and any one of the ball weighs more, that is the overweight ball, else the
one among the three which is not weighed is the ball. If the 3 against 3 balls were equal, then weigh the 2 balls, then the
overweight ball will be found.

The number of blueberries is equal to number of cups multiplied by 4 minus one left.
That is :
B = 9(C - 2) -> (1)
Then the number of blueberries will be equal to the number of cups times three plus one left.
That is :
B = 6C + 3 -> (2)
Now substitute the 1st and 2nd equations:
B = 9(C - 2)
B = 6C + 3

C = 7, B = 45.
Therefore Blueberries = 45 and cups = 7.
As we know 3 kids are wearing both, So only 3 kids are wearing only socks(6 - 3 = 3) and 1 is wearing only shoes(4 - 3 =
1). So, in total 3 + 3 + 1 = 7. Now 12 are there, so 12 - 7 = 5. 5 kids are in bare feet.
3 have not studied either. So 15 - 3 = 12. The people who studied Latin and Greek are 7 + 8 = 15. So 15 - 12 = 3.
Therefore 4 have studied Latin, 5 have studied Greek and 3 have studied both.
