Tim tim (Is there an echo in here?). Hi, hello and welcome. It is good to see a new name taking part in the forum.

"question how long will you live

Prolly the best answer yet. I look forward to reading more of your posts.


Mark:
RABBITS
5 jumps (5 5 5 5 -7)

DIVISORTON
389

Here we are looking for a common multiple. One third can be shown as 3, one-fourth as 4, one-fifth as 5 and one-seventh as 7. Multiple them together and you get 420. Then, one-third of 420 is 140; one-fourth is 105, one-fifth is 84 and one-seventh is 60. Add them together, 140 + 105 + 84 + 60 and you get 389, the population of Divisorton.

Mark:
SMALLEST NUMBER
59

This involves finding the least common multiplier (LCM) and then subtract one to leave each original number with the right remainder. In this case, the LCM of 6, 5 and 4 is 60. Then, to get the remainder, you take one off, or 59.



Tom and Jane compete in a car rally, going several times around a closed circuit. Tom can drive the circuit in 25 minutes, but Jane takes 30 minutes.

If the two drivers start at the same time, how long will it take Tom to lap Jane


Alzar has many dragons. A few years ago, one of these dragons, Alzaran, though not fully grown, weighed one thousand pounds plus two-thirds of his own weight.

How much did Alzaran weigh



Jane has 13 chains with three links in each chain. She would like to connect all 13 chains together to form one continuous circular chain. If a jeweler charges $4 to cut a link open and $10 to weld it back together again.

What is the cheapest cost by which Jane can have this done

I am not so happy with the dividing of the estate of 1920000. Mothers do all the work. What if the father had stated in his will that mother gets three times as much as a daughter, and that a daughter gets two times as much as a son.

What would each get?

CAR RALLY
150 minutes

ALZAR
3000 pounds

CHAIN
$140

WHIM'S ESTATE
mother: 2/3 of the estate
daughter: 2/9 of the estate
son: 1/9 of the estate

Chains:
$168

Mark I see you do it in ten cuts. So my 12 is high.

Cutting three chains (nine links) completely allows you to join the remaining ten chains, but not in a loop. Cutting one more link allows you to join the ends.

Mark:
CAR RALLY
150 minutes

ALZAR
3000 pounds

Explanation: This is an algebra problem. Alzaran's weight is W, therefore the formula is: W = 1,000 + 2/3 W. When you subtract 2/3 W from both sides of the equation, you have.
1/3W = 1,000. To find out the value of W, you multiply both sides by 3 so that W = 3,000 pounds.



CHAIN
$140

A common way to find this answer would be to cut a link in each of the 13 three-link segments and re-weld all. That answer would be $182.

However, to find the cheapest way, you keep 10 of the segments intact and cut each link (9 in total) of the other three segments. Using the nine links, you can cut and weld together nine of the segments ($14 each or $126).

Then to make the final link, you need to cut and re-weld only one link of the other 10 segments to put the whole thing together; that's another $14. The total is then $140.



WILL
Is the puzzle is solvable without knowing how many sons/daughters/there are?




A car is travelling at uniform speed. The driver sees a milestone showing a two-digit number, after travelling for an hour the driver sees another milestone with the same digits in reverse order.

After another hour, the driver sees another milestone with a three-digit number, which included the same two digits what is the average speed of the driver




There was a race between Myself, Mark and Whim. When I take 21 steps, the distance covered is equal to Mark's 24 steps and Whim's 28 steps. I take six steps to every seven steps of Mark and eight steps of Whim.

Who won the race



An opera singer starts from home at 3pm for evening walk. He walks speed of 4km/ph on level ground and then at a speed of 3km/ph uphill. and then down the hill at a speed of 6 km/ph to the level ground and then at a speed of 4km/ph to the home.

If he reaches home at 9pm, what is the distance one way

CAR
45 mph

RACE
Mark, of course.

WALK
12km

RIDDLE POLICE
Is it something that a man can't do sitting down, a woman can't do standing up, and a dog can only do on three legs?

If not, it could be lots of things. How about breathe, or see?

RIDDLE POLICE

a) Is it something that a man can't do sitting down? - He can, but unusual.

b) A woman can't do standing up? - No, as easy standing as sitting.

c) A dog can only do on three legs? - It can be done on 2 and 3 legs. But, never on 1 or 4.


You could not do it whilst asleep, but you could with your eyes shut. The dog however would keep it's eyes open. Except for the dog, it's an everyday thing.

Go on give up…
