A Snail On Top of The Wall !


Read the question first! 

Let's find out progress of snail day by day.

Day 1 : UP to 10, DOWN to 4

Day 2 : UP to 14, DOWN to 8

Day 3 : UP to 18, DOWN to 12

Day 4 : UP to 22 which is greater than 20.

So snail requires 4 days to reach the top of the wall.




Number of days taken by snail to climb up the wall.

The 500 Miles Race

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.

Who drove what color car and what place did each driver finish?
