Hidden Wallet of Question Mark

After recent events, Question Mark is annoyed with his brother, Skid Mark. Skid thought it would be funny to hide Question's wallet. 

He told Question that he would get it back if he finds it. So, first off, Skid laid five colored keys in a row. One of them is a key to a room where Skid is hiding Question's wallet. 

Using the clues, can you determine the order of the keys and which is the right key? 

Red: This key is somewhere to the left of the key to the door. 

Blue: This key is not at one of the ends. 

Green: This key is three spaces away from the key to the door (2 between).

Yellow: This key is next to the key to the door. 

Orange: This key is in the middle.

Logical Steps to know the RIGHT key are here!

Key to Get Question Mark's Wallet

Why to find Question Mark's Wallet?

Let's take a look at the given clues once again - 

1.Red: This key is somewhere to the left of the key to the door. 

2.Blue: This key is not at one of the ends. 

3.Green: This key is three spaces away from the key to the door (2 between). 

4.Yellow: This key is next to the key to the door.

5.Orange: This key is in the middle. 

Now, let's draw a table of locations and color of keys as below - 

From Clue No.5, it's clear that the orange key is in the middle.

As per Clue No.3, the green key is three spaces away from the key to the door (right key) (2 between). So, the possible positions of green and right keys
are -

Since as per Clue No.4, yellow key is next to the key to the door, the key to the door can't be positioned at 2 or 5. Hence, it might be positioned at 1 or 4 with Green key at 4 or 1.

But as per Clue No.1, red key is somewhere to the left of the key to the door. For that, the right key can't be positioned at 1 as in that case, no position would be left for the red key as per clue.

Hence, Green key must be at 1 and right key at 4.

 
And now as per Clue No. 4, yellow key is next to right key.

As per Clue No.1, red key is somewhere left to the right key,hence it must be at position 2.

And as per Clue No.2, blue isn't at either end. Rather blue key is the only key left. So, the position left for it is position 4 which is of Right key. Hence, Blue key itself is RIGHT key to the door of room where Question Mark's wallet is placed.

The Spotting Contest

During a recent plane and train spotting contest, five eager entrants were lined up ready to be tested on their spotting ability. 

They had each spotted a number of planes (26, 86, 123, 174, 250) and a number of trains (5, 42, 45, 98, 105). From the clues below, can you determine what colour shirt each was wearing, their position, their age (21, 23, 31, 36, 40) and the number of trains and planes spotted?

1. Bob spotted 44 less trains than planes. 

2. Tom was 36 years old. 

3. The person on the far right was 8 years younger than Bob, and spotted 174 planes. 

4. Josh was wearing a yellow shirt and spotted 37 trains fewer than Bob. 

5. The person who was wearing a green shirt, was 19 years younger than the person to his left. 

6. Steven spotted 105 trains and 250 planes.

7. The person in the center was 31 years old, was wearing a blue shirt and spotted 42 trains.

8. Doug, who was on the far left, spotted 26 planes, and spotted 72 trains more than planes. 

9. The person who was wearing a red shirt was 4 years older than Tom and was not next to the person wearing a blue shirt. 

10.The person who was next to the 31 year old, but not next to the person who spotted 26 planes, was wearing a orange shirt, and spotted 45 trains. 

Here are final STATS of the contest!

------------------------------------------

STEPS : 

Let's make at table like below and fill the data one by one.

 
STEP 1 : 

As per (3), the person on the far right that is at position 5 had spotted 174 planes & he must be 23 years old so that Bob aged 31 years (only pair of ages having 8 years difference.

 
STEP 2 : 

As per (7), the person at position 3 who is wearing blue shirt and is 31 year old. He has spotted 42 trains.

STEP 3 : 

For (5) to be true, the ages of those participants occupying consecutive positions must be 40 and 21 respectively. Only, positions lefts for (5) to be true are 1 & 2.

STEP 4 : 

And as per (8), the person at position 1 must be Dough who spotted 26 planes and spotted 72  trains more than planes i.e. 26 + 72 = 98 trains.

STEP 5 : 

As per (10), the person at position 4 must be wearing orange shirt and must have spotted 45 trains. His age must be 36 years (only number in ages list left).

STEP 6 :

As per (9) suggests, Tom must be 36 years old positioned at 4 and Dough must be the person wearing red shirt. With that, Josh in (4) must be wearing yellow shirt and positioned at no.5. 

STEP 7 : 

The hint (4), also suggests that Josh must had spotted 5 trains out of 42-5 possible spotted trains pair shared with Bob. Hence, the person at 2nd position must had spotted 105 trains (only number left in list of number of trains spotted).
 

STEP 8 : 

As per (3), the person having age 31 must be Bob. Hence, at no.2, Steven must be there. 

STEP 9 : 

As per (6), Steven have spotted 250 planes. As per (1), Bob must have spotted 42 + 44 = 86 planes. And the only number left as number of planes spotted for Tom is 123.

STEP 10 :

The Race of Multi-Tasking Clowns

Many contestants entered the unicycle race, but only the best multi-tasking clown came out on top, considering that each had to juggle clubs while trying to win the race! Most of the pack were soon disqualified after dropping a club or falling off the unicycle. In the end, four of the best clowns crossed the finish line. 

From this information and the clues below, can you determine each clown's full (real) name, club color (one is silver), and placement?

Places: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th
First Names: Kyle, Matt, Jake, Leon
Surnames: Turner, Pettle, Vertigo, Wheeley
Colors: Green, Orange, Silver, Red

1. Mr. Turner (who isn't Matt) finished one place ahead of the red club juggler.

2. The four are Leon, Mr. Vertigo, the one who juggled with orange clubs, and the one who came in third place.

3. Kyle finished behind (but not one place behind) Mr. Wheeley.

4. Matt and Mr. Pettle finished consecutively, in some order.

5. The one who juggled with green clubs finished two places behind Jake.

In The Race of Multi-Tasking Clowns

What was the puzzle?

Let's take a look at the given data.

------------------------------------------------------------

Places: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th

First Names: Kyle, Matt, Jake, Leon

Surnames: Turner, Pettle, Vertigo, Wheeley

Colors: Green, Orange, Silver, Red


1. Mr. Turner (who isn't Matt) finished one place ahead of the red club juggler.

2. The four are Leon, Mr. Vertigo, the one who juggled with orange clubs, and the one who came in third place.

3. Kyle finished behind (but not one place behind) Mr. Wheeley.

4. Matt and Mr. Pettle finished consecutively, in some order.

5. The one who juggled with green clubs finished two places behind Jake.  

------------------------------------------------------------ 

We will make a table like below and fill it step by step.

 
 STEPS :

1] As per clue (2), Leon, Mr. Vertigo, the one who juggled with orange clubs, and the one who came in third place are supposed to be different. Hence, Leon or Vertigo didn't finish at 3. So, Pettle or Turner must be at 3.

2] But as per (1), Matt isn't a Turner, and as per (4) Matt and Pettle are two different persons. Hence, Matt didn't finish at 3 for sure.

3] As per (3), Mr. Wheely too can't be at 3 as in that case no placement would be left for Kyle. And Jake too can't be at 3 as in that case no placement would be left for the one who juggled with green clubs.

So, if Leon, Matt and Jake aren't at 3 then Kyle must be at 3 having surname Pettle or Turner.

4] With that, Mr. Wheely must have finished first as clue (3) suggests.

5] Now, as per (1), Turner didn't finish at no.4 since there would be no place for red club juggler. Also, as per (4), Pettle can't be at 4 since Matt can't be at 3 (STEP 3). Hence, at no.4, Vertigo is there.

6] As per (2), Vertigo and Leon are 2 different contestants. Also, as per clue (5) Jake can't be at no.4 as in that case there would be no place left for the one who juggled green clubs. Hence, the first name of Vertigo is Matt.

7] Now, clue (4) suggests Pettle is at no.3

8] The only place for the Turner is no.2 and by (1), Kyle Pettle is red club juggler.

9] Now, the only locations left for the contestants pointed by clue (5) i.e. for Jake and green club juggler are 2 and 4.

10] The only location left for Leon is no.1 and as per (2), Leon and orange club juggler are different. Hence, Leon must be a silver club juggler and Jake Turner is orange club juggler.

CONCLUSION : 

So, the final stats of race are - 

   

What Was the Color of Gabbar Singh's Shirt ?

In Rangeelia, a neighbour situated west of our country, the native people can be divided into three types: Lalpilas, Pilharas and Haralals. 

Lalpilas always get confused between red and yellow (i.e. they see yellow as red and vice versa) but can see any other color properly. Pilharas always get confused between yellow and green (i.e. they see yellow as green and vice versa) but can see any other color properly. Haralals always get confused between green and red (i.e. they see green as red and vice versa) but can see any other color properly.

Three people Amar, Akbar and Anthony, who belong to Rangeelia, made the following statements about Gabbar Singh, the famous dacoit of Rangeelia, when he was last seen by them :-

Amar : Gabbar Singh was wearing a green shirt.

Akbar : Gabbar Singh was not wearing a yellow shirt.

Anthony : Gabbar Singh was wearing a red shirt.

If none of Amar, Akbar or Anthony is a Haralal, then what was the color of Gabbar Singh's shirt ?

THIS is the color of Gabbar Singh's shirt! 

Angles on Christmas Tree in Puzzle!

Four angels sat on the Christmas tree amidst other ornaments. Two had blue halos and two - yellow. However, none of them could see above his head.

Angel A sat on the top branch and could see the angels B and C, who sat below him. Angel B, could see angel C who sat on the lower branch. And angel D stood at the base of the tree obscured from view by a thicket of branches, so no one could see him and he could not see anyone either.

Which one of them could be the first to guess the color of his halo and speak it out loud for all other angels to hear?

THESE angels have maximum chance of correct guess!


Similar Puzzle 

Logical Angels on Christmas Tree

How their logical skills are challenged?

Case 1 :

The angel A observes that the aureoles of B and C are of the same color. Then, A can be sure that the color of own aureoles must be other than that of B and C.

So, A will be the first to guess the correct color in case he observes 2 same colored aureoles B and C.

Case 2 :

The angle D notices that the color of aureoles of B and C are different. Now, A has to remain silent. The silence of A suggests B that the color of aureole of B must be different than the C.

So, in that case, B will be the first one to guess correct color of own aureole.

However, C has no chance to guess the color of own aureole unless, A or B reveals color of own aureole. And D has absolutely no chance of correct guessing the color of own aureole.

What is Color of His Hat?

There is a basket full of hats. 3 of them are white and 2 of them are black. There are 3 men Tom, Tim, and Jim. They each take a hat out of the basket and put it on their heads without seeing the hat they selected or the hats the other men selected.

The men arrange themselves so Tom can see Tim and Jim’s hats, Tim can see Jim’s hat, and Jim can’t see anyone’s hat.

Tom is asked what color his hat is and he says he doesn’t know.

Tim is asked the same question, and he also doesn’t know.

Finally, Jim is asked the question, and he does know.

What color is his hat?

Know color of his hat! 

'THIS' is The Color of His Hat!

What was the challenge?

Since there are only 2 black hats if Tom had saw 2 black hats (on heads of Tim & Jim) then he would have realized that he must be wearing white hat. Since, he says he doesn't know color of his hat that mean he can see either 2 white  hats or 1 black & 1 white hat on heads of other 2.

Now when Tim is saying he doesn't know color of his hat that means Jim must not be wearing black hat. If Jim had black hat then Tim would know that his color of hat is white but can't be black again as in that case Tom would have identified color of his hat in first attempt.

Hence, Jim must be wearing white hat! 

What color was the bear?

I left my campsite and hiked south for 3 miles. Then I turned east and hiked for 3 miles. I then turned north and hiked for 3 miles, at which time I came upon a bear inside my tent eating my food! What color was the bear?

Yes, it can be answered!

'THIS' Was The Color of Bear!

Wait,first read the question! 

There is only one place on earth where when you hike 3 miles south then 3 miles east followed by 3 miles north & eventually end at the same starting point. And that place is north pole. 

Only Polar bears can survive on north pole; and they are white in color.

Hence, the bear found must be of white color. 

"Your Surname Tells My Shirt's Color!"

Mr. Yellow, Mr. Black and Mr. Brown, three best friends since kindergarten meet in a function after 5 years. The three of them are wearing either a Yellow, Black or Brown shirt.
After giving each other a friendly hug, Mr. Black says, "Hey, did you notice that we are wearing a different colored shirt than our names!"
The man wearing a Brown shirt said, "Wow I certainly did not notice that but you are right Mr. Black."
Based on this conversation, can you find our who was wearing which colored shirt? 

 
Know color of each person's shirt here! 
  

Surnames And Shuffling of Shirts

Read this conversation first!

One thing is sure that Mr.Black is not wearing the BLACK shirt. He is also not wearing BROWN as well as we found the other person wearing the BROWN colored shirt is agreed with the statement made by Mr.BLACK in a conversation. So only color left is the YELLOW & Mr. Black must be wearing that.

Now, the colors left are BROWN and BLACK and persons left are Mr. Yellow and Mr.Brown. Since, each of them wearing different color than his surname, Mr. Brown must be wearing the BLACK shirt. And hence, Mr. Yellow is wearing the BROWN shirt! 

To conclude, Mr.Black is wearing YELLOW shirt, Mr. Brown is wearing BLACK shirt & Mr. Yellow must be wearing BROWN shirt.

 

Who Will Shout First?

4 criminals are caught and are to be punished. The Judge allows them to be freed if they can solve a puzzle. If they do not, they will be hung. They agreed.
The 4 criminals are lined up on some steps (shown in picture). They are all facing in the same direction. A wall separates the fourth man from the other three.
So to summarize :-

Man 1 can see men 2 and 3.

Man 2 can see man 3.

Man 3 can see none of the others.

Man 4 can see none of the others.

The criminals are wearing hats. They are told that there are two white hats and two black hats. The men initially don't know what color hat they are wearing. They are told to shout out the color of the hat that they are wearing as soon as they know for certain what color it is.

They are not allowed to turn round or move.

They are not allowed to talk to each other.

They are not allowed to take their hats off.

Who is the first person to shout out and why?

Who will shout first?

Know that person here!

Chance of Knowing Color of Hat

Here is the given situation! 

Well, there are 2 possibilities of answer depending on what combination of hats Man 2 & Man 3 are wearing. One thing is sure Man 4 has least chance for getting what he is wearing. His crime must be the most serious one!

Case 1 : If Man 2 & Man 3 wearing same color of hat.

In this case, Man 1 would immediately come to know that he is wearing opposite color of hat & would shout out. In simple words, if Man 2 & Man 3 wearing WHITE (or BLACK) hats, then Man 1 & Man 4 must be wearing BLACK (or WHITE) hats. Since there is no chance for Man 4 to see Man 2 & Man 3 but Man 1 could see Man 2 & Man 3, he must be first to know color of hat he is wearing.


Case 2 : If Man 2 & Man 3 wearing hats of different color.

Now here Man 2 has to be very intelligent (like the reader as he has chosen to read this further). In this case, there is no way for Man 1 to come at any conclusion as there might be WHITE or BLACK hat on his head. After waiting for a while Man 2 has to apply some logic & should think this in his mind.

'Since Man 1 is not shouting he must be unsure with color of his hat. He would be sure only in case if I & Man 3 wearing same color of hats. Since he is unsure; the color of my hat must be opposite of Man 3's hat.' 

Now the judge if he is honest would put criminal with least serious crime at number 1 (or  & 2) same color (or different) hats on Man 2 & Man 3.
