Spirit Of Genius

Mike, Jimmy, Nader, Kevin and Larry were the top five finishers in the regional 500-mile race. They drove yellow, orange, green, red and blue cars but not necessarily in that order.

1. Neither Kevin nor Larry drove the green car.

2. Kevin finished faster than Mike and Larry.

3. The blue car finished earlier than Larry’s and Nader’s car.

4. The yellow car finished faster than the green car and the orange car.

5. Mike’s and Larry’s car finished ahead of the orange car.

6. Jimmy’s car finished before the blue and the yellow car.

Stats of The 500 Miles Race

Here is the scenario!

Let's make a bit simple by putting clues into table. Rows representing owner while columns representing their cars. Now we need to use logical deduction by using all the clues & fill the table one by one. Finally, we get this.

Stats of The 500 Miles Race

Filled circle represents rank of the particular car or participant. e.g. 1 circle means it's first, 2 means second & so on.

Losing Ten Minutes An Hour

A clock loses exactly ten minutes every hour. If the clock is set correctly at noon, what is the correct time when the clock reads 3:00pm?

Real Time Of a Faulty Clock

How much faulty it was?

A clock loses 10 minutes in every hour that means for 60 real minutes it shows 50 minutes. In another words, real time is 60/50 = 1.2 times the minutes shown by the slower clock. It was set correctly at noon & at 3:00 PM ; 180 minutes of slower clock elapsed. That means the real time is 180 x 1.2 = 216. So it's 3:36 PM in real time clock!

Being Alive After Lift Crash Landing? - Puzzle

A lift is on the ground floor. There are four people in the lift including me.When the lift reaches first floor, one person gets in and three people get out.The lift goes up to the second floor, 2 people get out 6 people get in.It then goes up to the next floor up, no-one gets out but 12 people get in. Halfway up to the next floor up the lift cable snaps, it crashes to the floor.

Everyone else dies in the lift. How did I survive?

This is how did I!

Escape from Crash Landed Lift

This was the incident.

Read carefully once again, in journey from 1st to 2nd floor there are only 2

people in the lift. At 2nd floor, 2 people get out that means it includes me

as well. This is how I survived.

Selecting The Barbershop

A man is driving South to Florida for a vacation. On the way, he realizes that he needs a haircut, so he stops in a small town along the way. He asks one of the residents where he can find a barbershop, and the resident tells him that there are only two barbers in town, one in the north part of town and one in the south. The man visits the north barber, and finds that the barbershop is messy and the barber himself has a bad haircut. He then visits the south barber, who has a clean barbershop and a good haircut.

However, the man decides to return to the north barber for his haircut. Why does he do this?

This is why he does so!

Reason To Choose The North Barbershop

Here is the question!

Since there are only 2 barbershops in town each barber has to go to each other for their haircut. So barber with good haircut must had it from the other barber at the north. Obviously, the man choose him to get a nice look.

Hence he must chosse the north barbershop.

Bird's Journey From Train To Train

Suppose distance between SECUNDERABAD & CST is 1000 KM. Railway tracks are in straight lines with no curves in between.

A train with uniform speed of 100 kmph departs from CST at 9:00 AM. Same day on same track other train from SECUNDERABAD departs at 10:00 AM with uniform speed of 80 kmph.

A bird sitting on engine of train that departed from CST starts traveling toward the SECUNDERABAD & after touching the engine of that train travels back to CST train. A bird repeats this until trains collide.

How much distance the bird traveled & how many times did it travel to & fro?

Distance covered by bird in the journey?

Click for the answer!

Distance Traveled By The Bird

Here is the question!

Let's divide answer in 2 parts.

1.Finding distance traveled by the bird.

The SECUNDERABAD train is one hour late till then CST train covers 100 km.

Hence effective distance is 900 km

Total speed of approach = 100 + 80 kmph

Total distance covered = 900 km

Time passed before trains collide = 900/180 = 5 Hours

Speed of bird = 120 kmph

Distance covered in 5 hours by bird = 120 * 5 = 600 km

Distance covered in first hour by bird = 120 km

Total distance = 600 + 120 = 720 km

2. Finding how many times bird traveled back & forth.

1st travel -

Total speed of approach = 120 + 80 = 200 kmph

Total distance to be covered = 900 km

Time required to meet each other = 900/200 = 4.5 Hours.

2nd travel -

Distance traveled by CST train in 4.5 hours = 100 x 4.5 = 450km

Distance traveled by SECUNDERABAD train in 4.5 hours = 80 x 4.5 = 360 km

Distance between 2 trains = 900 - (450+360) = 90 km

Time left for collision is 5 - 4.5 = 0.5 hrs.

So bird ends up with 1 complete round.
