Thumbs up

1.Asma had 3 big fish and 3 small fish in an aquarium. Due to negligence, 1 big fish and 2 small fish died. How many remain in the water?.

2.Arif is known for his rash driving in the neighborhood. One day, he chooses a one way lane and goes in the wrong way. And how lucky he is? Despite cops being present in the vicinity of the lane, he slithers away uncaught! How?


3. The other day Helena bought a new set of China from the nearby store. Wow were they beautiful? So while she was serving the dinner, she got clumsy and drop one China bowl onto the concrete floor, without cracking it? How did Helena did it?


4. It took 20,000 workers to build the Taj Mahal in 20 years. How many workers would be required to build it in 10 years?


5.Clark does 5 sets of pushup, 6 sets of sit-up, 7 sets of squat, and 8 sets of bench dip in a day. So what do you think which organ in his body would be the largest?


6..Name all the numbers from 1 - 100, which have the letter 'A' in their spellings?

Cool

1. A man and his son were in an car accident. The man died on the way to the hospital, but the boy was rushed into surgery. The surgeon said "I can't operate, that's my son!" How is this possible?

2. You are driving a bus. Six people get on, two people get off, then ten people get on and five people get off, then eight people get on and four more people get off. What colour were the bus driver's eyes?

3. Eskimos are very good hunters, but they never hunt penguins. Why not?

4. If an airplane crashed exactly on the border of Pakistan and India, where would the survivors be buried?

5. A man lives on the tenth floor of a building. Every day he takes the elevator to go down to the ground floor to go to work or to go shopping. When he returns he takes the elevator to the seventh floor and walks up the stairs to reach his apartment on the tenth floor. He hates walking so why does he do it?

6. How much dirt is there in a hole that is 3 ft deep, and 6 inches
in diameter?

7. Three crows were sitting on a fence when a farmer spots them. He shoots one how many were left ?

8. Which weighs the most, a pound of feathers or a pound of gold? The solution is not that they both weigh the same!

9. I have no voice yet I speak to you, I tell of all things in the world that people do. I have leaves, but I am not a tree, I have pages, but I am not a bride. I have a spine and hinges but I am not a man or a door, I have told you all I cannot tell you more.
What am I?

10. Jim and his mum and dad went out in the rain on their holiday but only two of them got their hair wet. Why?

11. A boy and a doctor was fishing.The boy is the doctor's son but the doctor is not the boy's father.who is the doctor?

12. If a man is trapped in a room. There are no doors no windows how did he get out?
13. There was a train going along the track and a car coming along the road at a right angle to the train. They were both going at exactly the same speed and would have crashed in the middle where they met. Why didn't they?



14. The day before yesterday, Sonia was 7 years old. Next year, she'll turn 10. How is this possible?

14. The day before yesterday, Sonia was 7 years old. Next year, she'll turn 10. How is this possible?
It's too long to solve quickly but let us just try to. The answers are as follows:

1. The surgeon was his mother
2. The colour of my eyes is brown
3. Eskimos live at the North Pole. Penguins live at the South Pole.
4. The survivors can't be buried.
5. The man is too short to reach the number 10 button.
6. You must be kidding. Holes don't have dirt, but air in it.
7. None got shot but flew away as the result of distraction.
8. a "pound" of feathers (or bricks, or lead) is heavier than a "pound" of gold.
9. A book or a magazine or something to read
10. because his dad is UNCLE SARGUM, that is BALD.
11. Obviously mother.
12. Through a hole lol
13. Because the car went over the bridge.
14. no idea

the main formula for time is :
time for one way trip of bee = distance between bikes / (speed of bee + speed of cycle towards which the bee is going )

distance is 10
time from a to b = 10 / 25

in 10/25 hours bicycles have covered distance of s=vt >> 10*10/25 = 4 miles

hence both covering 4 miles are now 2 miles apart (10- 8= 2)
distance is 2 now

time from b to a = 2/ 25


now distance covered by 1 bike is is s=vt>> 10*2/25 =20/25 = 0.8

the two bikes are apart by 2- 0.8*2 = 0.4 miles

distance is 0.4 miles

time from a to b again = 0.4/25

distance covered by 1 bike is is s=vt>> 10*0.4/25 =0.16

the two bikes are apart by 0.4 - 0.16*2 = 0.08 miles

hence distance is 0.08

time from b to a = 0.08/ 25



thus there are infinite calculations hence there might be a series

lets see the times

t1 >>>>>>>>>> 10/25 = 0.4
t2 >>>>>>>>>> 2/25 = 0.08
t3 >>>>>>>>>> 0.4/25 = 0.016
t4 >>>>>>>>>> 0.08/25= 0.0032
............ so on to infinity


total time of flight for bee = t1 +t2+t3+t4 +.....

T = 0.4 + 0.08 + 0.016 + 0.0032 + ...
T= 2* (0.2+0.04 +0.008+0.0016+...)

T= 2*(1/5 + 1/25+1/125 +1/625+...)

wooooooooooooooot we got a geometric series yupppieeeeeeeee
thanks to Wolfram|Alpha CLICK HERE TO SEE...

T = 2*(1/4) = 0.5 hour

hence bee flies for half an hour with speed of 15 mph

half of 15 is 7.5

@bear
lol... first and foremost.. i really appreciate your engineering approach esp. the series part .. :-)

Ok for me the answer was really simple... both the bicyclist had to meet in the middle caz they both were travelling at the same speed right? Time taken to reach the center by them is 0.5 hours owing to their 10mi/hr speed. But the fly keeps on flying for this whole time with the speed of 15 mi/hr speed and thus the distance comes out to be 7.5 miles. :-)

All the best ~

Bear: seeing your approach i expect that somebody will still come up with zeno's paradox and say that the problem is altogether not possible.

3)A man wearing black clothes, black shoes and a black hat is walking down a street. The street lamps are all off. A black car, with its headlights off, comes speeding down the road, but screeches to a halt, just before hitting the man. How did the driver see the man?

6)Choose the correct sentence: The yolk of an egg IS white. The yolk of an egg ARE white?

7)There are 6 mangoes in a basket and 6 kids eagerly waiting to get one. Each kid is given 1 mango, yet there is one mango in the basket, how?
