The worlds first riddle!

Draw a square, then draw four lines going across, and four lines going down. Now you should have one big square with 16 little squares inside.

1+4+9+16=30

The Fruit/Survey answer: Some may agree, some may not.


Draw a Venn Diagrams for union AUBUC with overlappings:
Let A= 13, B=10, C= 5, (AB)A intesects B=4 (BC)B intesects C= 2 (ABC)A intesects B intesects C
AUBUC= A+ B +C - AB- BC+ABC

Since the intersection of A, B and C is a common portion of the intersection of A and B and the intersection of B and C , when you subtract AB and BC, you subtract ABC twice so you need to add 1.

10+13+5-4-2+1=23 people were surveyed.

You just know your life is going to change for the worse, when you read the word, ‘but’ and sure enough…

“This would create a 25x25 grid of squares.”

Congratulations DD you have successfully navigated your way through the first part of the riddle.

16 squares it was. Then…Bam, back down to earth.

“1 4x4, 4 3x3, 9 2x2, and 16 1x1 squares for a total of 29.”

Thankfully, Usamashaker came to the rescue before the whole of the internet collapsed.
“1+4+9+16=30”

DD then pleads, “May I revise my answer, please?”

I am sorry dude, 13 ½ is still incorrect.

Then, just when I thought my troubles were over!

I said, “10+13+5-4-2+1=23 people were surveyed.”

I leave you, dear reader to decide. However, I must confess to not being Swiss.

Dr_bido confesses, “I am not American”

Don’t worry Doc, I have been told there are some people in the world who are not American, but then I guess somebody has to live in Alaska. :wink:

I like your answer though.

“She would have 10 of each coin”







At midnight, Jane finally went to bed and slept until 6 am. She got up and went to school. At 10:30 she wasn’t felling well and went to the nurse’s office and took a nap until 11:15. When she got home she slept again from 3:45 until 4:30. Later that night she was watching a movie and fell asleep at 9:30 and woke up at midnight.

What fraction of the day did Jane spend asleep


You have 3 unmarked jugs and a river of clean water.
The jugs are known to hold exactly 5, 7, and 11 liters.
Tell how you can use these jugs to measure exactly 9 liters of water


I was sitting around with my friend Waldo, his nephew Spike, and Spike's friend Molly recently. I happened to have two tickets to a new movie in my pocket that I had just purchased, and I mentioned this and noted that there were two four-digit numbers on the tickets and that the sum of all 8 digits was 25.

Waldo asked if any digit appeared more than twice out of the 8, which I answered, and then Spike asked if the sum of the digits of either ticket was equal to 13, which I answered also. Much to my surprise Molly immediately told me what the two numbers were!

What were they
