Easy Friday Puzzles.


Puzzles are solved too easily here...too many Brainiacs on SDK blog ooooh.

Lets try another one and see who gets it first.....I do not know the answer yet so do not expect me to come back and post you hear?

Thank you Brainiac!





Puzzle 1

During a recent police investigation, Chief Inspector Stone was interviewing five local villains to try and identify who stole Mrs Archer's cake from the mid-summers fayre. Below is a summary of their statements:

Arnold:  it wasn't Edward
         it was Brian

Brian:   it wasn't Charles
         it wasn't Edward

Charles: it was Edward
         it wasn't Arnold

Derek:   it was Charles
         it was Brian

Edward:  it was Derek
         it wasn't Arnold

It was well known that each suspect told exactly one lie.  Can you determine who stole the cake?

Puzzle 2



Three people check into a hotel.

They pay £30 to the manager and go to their room.

The manager suddenly remembers that the room rate is £25 and gives £5 to the bellboy to return to the people.

On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that £5 would be difficult to share among three people so he pockets £2 and gives £1 to each person.

Now each person paid £10 and got back £1.

So they paid £9 each, totalling £27. The bellboy has £2, totalling £29.

Where is the missing £1?

    1. Puzzle 2: there's no missing 1 pound. They paid 30 pounds, out of which the manager took 25, bellboy took 2 and refunded 3.

      You should add the bell boy's 2 pounds to the manager's 25, or subtract it from the 27 pounds because it is part of what they paid.

      Puzzle 1: Charles? #JambStyleGuessWork #tubutubutinz

    2. Puzzle 1- Charles stole the cake
      Puzzle 2- Each person paid £9, totalling £27. The manager has £25 and the bellboy has £2 that's £27 plus the £1 with each of them totalling £3 that makes it £30

    3. Number two: No missing amount...They paid 30, the manager refunded 5: i.e 30-5=25...the 5 was shared into four 1 1 1 & 2 for the boy. add up all and you get back 30.

    6. Naija,I hail una oooh. Truly anything hidden within words would confuse a black man.
      Derek stole the cake,the others either accused 1 person or no one at all,while Derek was the only one 2 accuse two people of stealing it.
      Puzzle 2: is a trick question cos u substract the bellboy's £2 from the 27,not add it. So nothing's missing.
      FYI that bellboy is a bloody thief & should be flogged.

  9. Puzzle 1:
    Charles committed the terrible crime.

    Looking at Brian's statements, one of the statements was a lie and the other was the truth. Therefore it must have been either Charles or Edward.

    Looking at Derek's statements, for the same reason, it was either Charles or Brian.

    Therefore it must have been Charles who committed the crime. Double checking this against the other statements confirms this.

    1. It's Charles because in addition to ur explanation, Charles reponse states that 1. It's Edward 2. It wasn't Arnold. Out of which one must be a lie. So we know it's wasn't Arnold which is true so that means no. 1 is the lie .....so Edward is not the thief!
      It is Charles!

      2 puzzle us calculating it from the part of the customers because they think they paid 27. D 2 with d bell boy is alrdy on that calculation. So the remain 3 is the change they each have!

  13. Charles stole the cake.

    From Brian's statements, one of the statements was a lie and the other was the truth. Therefore it must have been either Charles or Edward.

    But looking at Derek's statements, for the same reason, it was either Charles or Brian.

    Therefore it must have been Charles who committed the crime. Double checking this against the other statements confirms this.

  16. Each person paid $9, totalling $27. The manager has $25 and the bellboy has $2. The bellboy's $2 should be added to the manager's $25 or subtracted from the tenants' $27, not added to the tenants' $27.

  19. Puzzle 1: Derek

  20. 1. Charles
    2. No money missing, they spent 27, 2 with the boy, 25 with the manager

    ReplyDelete
  21. P1. Charles stole the cake
    P2. There is no missing £1! Actually, the bellboy refunds £3 so they each paid £9, totaling £27 which is £2 over what the hotel charges (£25). And that is what the boy keeps.

    **ignore "totalling 29" in the preamble. It's just to mess with your head. The boy keeps £2 but it's contained in the £27**

  22. Puzzle 1: it was Derek

  24. Puzzle 1: charles stole d cake.....

    ReplyDelete
  25. Puzzle1: It was CHARLES. Charles is the little thieving son of a gun... he should be ashamed of himself!


    Puzzle2: There is NO missing £1. The three guys paid £30 = £10 each. Manager gives Bellboy £5 to return. Bellboy chooses to give back only £3 (the little thief!). Guys get back £1 each making it that they each paid £9. So, it is £9 x 3 persons payment = £27 + £3 reimbursed = £30.
    No Missing Money!

    Am I a genius or what???
