Puzzle

Totally! That ball question was way over my head :bash:

Three boxes which are all labelled differently.
So you know that each label is wrong.
So take one item from box labelled "nails and screws" whatever it is label the box accordingly. So label either "nails" or "screws"
Then the box labelled "nails" / "screws" remove label and place on box with no current label.
The final box label "nails and screws"
..... hope that's explained ok, considering its a monday morning :morning:

Yes Stephen,



Imagine there are 3 coins on the table: gold, silver, and copper. If you make a truthful statement, you will get one coin. If you make a false statement, you will get nothing.
What sentence can guarantee you getting the gold coin?

 

"you will give me neither the silver nor copper coin"

If it is true, I must recieve a coin, and it must the the gold coin for the statement to remain true. And if the statement is not true, I would get nothing, which makes the statement true, so again I must recieve the gold coin.

 

definitely Mr Tucker, i couldn't work that one out

a fellow pod has 'complained' that this thread has no relevance to podiatry, whoooa
so i have endeavoured to do so

puzzle
* craig wishes to test the 'boys'
* mark r., simon and kevin sit in a triangle each facing the other two; each cannot see, naturally, his own forehead
* craig announces that he is to place a white or black marker on each of the 'boys' foreheads
* the 'boys' mission is to determine the colour of the marker on their own forehead
* the 'boys' are asked to raise an arm if they can see at least one white marker, on the foreheads of the other two 'boys'
* craig then places all white markers on the 'boys' foreheads
* after a little while one of the 'boys' claims he has a white marker on his forehead
* which boy and how did he know?

 

Sooooo many requests for more!

As a follow up to the last (very popularly received) puzzle how 'bout,

next puzzle

After losing the “marker on the Forehead” contest, the two defeated Podiatry Masters requested a rematch with ?????, who was temporarily indisposed and replaced by Mandy, who was loitering nearby. And so the "Craig", having oodles of time on his hands, vowed to set up a truly fair test to reveal the best logician amongst them. He showed them 5 hats – two white and three black. Then he turned off the lights in the room and put a hat on each podiatry Master’s head. After that the old sage, the "Craig" that is, hid the remaining two hats; but before he could turn the lights on, Mandy announced the colour of her hat. Knowall!
What color was her hat? What could have been her reasoning?

 

the white hats were fur-lined (faux of course) and she knew from the distinctly smooth feel of her hat that it was black

 

You're "off like a bride's nightie"!








but unfortunately not the required solution dear Tracy

think 'fair'

 

I apologise.
An overdose of coffee and phenol fumes have dulled my 'fair' brain today ..... always a danger friday morning clinics :boohoo:

 

..most of us use sugar or sugar substitite, but hey if that's how they do it in Mildura......

 

That's what gives the rushes ...... and its less fattening too

 

Am enjoying this immensely boys and girls.
.
The solution to the white or black marker on the forehead ...... wouldn't know, don't care which boy it was, let's say Kevin!!!!!!!
Kevin thinks, "ok if i had a black marker on my forehead, then let's say Mark R. would think, ""ok Simon can see Kevin with a black marker on his forehead and me and he has his hand up so i must have a white marker"" .... but Mark R. hasn't got his hand up so i must not have a black marker but a white, voila!" (Kevin thinks in a real heavy french accent!)
....so simple
.
.
.
.
as for Mandy guessing before the lights came on, I forgot to include the hint that the "Craig" had advised the three that it was to be a FAIR contest........

Re: Puzzle time!

On an island there are 10 prisoners with blue eyes, and 10 prisoners with brown eyes, who all want to leave the island and are keen to live. No one knows the color of their eyes as there are no reflective surfaces on the island and they are unable to communicate with each other. Everyone can see everyone else at all times
One day the gaoler tells the 20 prisoners that if they can tell him the colour of their own eyes they can leave the island, but if they are wrong they will be killed.
He adds,
"I can see someone who has brown eyes."

Who leaves the island, and on what night?

And lastly, the answer is not "no one leaves."

 

The gaoler... for his wife's yummy roast with yorkie puddings

 

Tkemp, we'll be passing through Mildura later this year (i hope)....if so may I shout you a beverage of your choice, Mark

 

It's been a month.

the answer is 20 leave on the 20th night.

any takers as to why; any of you plankers up to it?,

love and respect to my fellow podiatrists (not the 'flat earth' group though)

 

I disagree,
The 10 brown eyed leave on night 10, and the 10 blue eyed would need to stay, as they could have blue, green or grey eyes.
If only one brown eyed person was on the island, they would see only blue eyes, so would know they were the brown eyed and leave. If 2 brown eyed, they would see one other, who wouldn't leave on night one as they could also see one other, and as noone left would know there were 2, so would then know they were the other one. this would continue until night 10, when the 10 browned eyed would leave. the 10 blue eyed, would need to stay.

 

Stephen is correct, i had forgotten the answer! Back into my hole ................................
