Magical Number of Mangoes

Once a man collected few mangoes from a tree. Another man came & all mangoes are distributed among themselves but still 1 left. Third man came & mangoes redistributed but still 1 left. Fourth man came but still 1 left after redistribution. Fifth & sixth man came but still 1 left after re sharing. Finally, when 7th man came all mangoes distributed with no left.

How many mangoes they had?

Finding The Magical Number


What was the teaser? 

We need to first find LCM of 2,3,4,5 & 6. It's 60. Had there been only 6 men then 61 would have been right answer. But on arrival of 7th man all mangoes distributed. So we need to find such number which is divisible by 7 & that number - 1 is divisible by 60.

Smallest such a number is 301. So they had 301 mangoes!

1. Go to the SETTING.

2. Select PHONE.

3. Enter into NETWORK.

4. Change Operator selection to MANUAL.

5. Wait till phone scans all available networks.

6. Restore Operator Selection to AUTOMATIC otherwise it would keep asking to choose network if you go out of range for a moment.

A Tiger, A Goat & A Bundle Of Grass

A man is walking down the village road with a tiger, a goat and a bundle of grass. Soon he arrives at the river bank where there is one tiny boat that can carry him and another animal or grass at a time. 

Here is the problem: Left alone, the tiger will eat the goat. And similarly, the goat will eat the grass bundle. How is he going to take all three across the river safely?
