-------------✯✯✯----------------- ☞ “Three gods, A, B, and C, are called, in some order, True, False, and Random. True always speaks truly, False always speaks falsely, but whether Random speaks truly or falsely is completely random. You must determine the identities of A, B, and C by asking three yes-or-no questions, and each question must be posed to exactly one god. The gods understand English, but will answer all questions in their own language. In their unknown language, the words for “yes” and “no” are “da” and “ja,” in some order. You do not know which word means which.” 👁‍🗨View Answer👁‍🗨 ☞ Here are the three questions you should ask, according to Nautilus: 1. To god A: “Does ‘da’ mean ‘yes’ if and only if you are True and if and only if B is Random?” (We supposed A said, “ja,” making B True or False). 2. To god B: “Does “da” mean ‘yes’ if and only if Pluto is a dwarf planet?” (We supposed B said, “da,” making B True.) 3. And to god B (True) again: “Does ‘da’ mean ‘yes’ if and only if A is Random?” Since B’s True, he must say “da,” which means A is Random, leaving C to be False. ------------✯✯✯----------------- @BrainyRiddles @Curiosity_Tea

-------------✯✯✯----------------- ☞ A pack of cards has 40 cards. You are blindfolded. Out of 40, 25 cards are facing down while 15 are facing up. You have been asked to divide this pack of cards into two decks - so that each deck contains an equal number of face up cards. Remember, you are blindfolded. How will you do it? 👁‍🗨View Answer👁‍🗨 ☞ Create a new deck of the exactly same number of cards as are face up cards in the original deck.Take 15 number of cards in a new deck and change their face direction. For example- You create a new deck of 15 cards and out of 15, 5 faces up in a new deck. So remaining 10 faces up are in the old deck. But hey! while creating the new deck you reversed the face direction of new cards. So actually the 5 cards which were facing up are actually face down in the new deck while 10 faces up. ------------✯✯✯----------------- @BrainyRiddles @Curiosity_Tea

-------------✯✯✯----------------- ☞ This is an unusual paragraph. I’m curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching. 👁‍🗨View Answer👁‍🗨 ☞ The letter “e” is the most common letter in the English language, yet it never appears in the entire paragraph. ------------✯✯✯----------------- @BrainyRiddles @Curiosity_Tea

-------------✯✯✯----------------- ☞ Lena Dunham , Allison Williams, and Jemima Kirke are 3 daughters of a good mathematician "Geroge". When I asked George the age of their daughters. He replied "The current age of her daughters is prime. Also, the difference between their ages is also prime." How old are the daughters? 👁‍🗨View Answer 👁‍🗨 ☞ Lena Dunham : 2 , Allison Williams : 5 and Jemima Kirke : 7 Age diff : 7-2 is 5 , 7-5 is 2 and 5-2 is 3 which all are prime numbers. ------------✯✯✯----------------- @BrainyRiddles @Curiosity_Tea

-------------✯✯✯-------------- ☞ You are given with two ropes with variable width. However if we start burning both the ropes, they will burn at exactly same time i.e. an hour. The ropes are non-homogeneous in nature. You are asked to measure 45 minutes by using these two ropes. How can you do it? Please note that you can’t break the rope in half as it is being clearly stated that the ropes are non-homogeneous in nature. 👁‍🗨View Answer 👁‍🗨 ☞ All you have to do is burn the first rope from both the ends and the second rope from one end only simultaneously. The first rope will burn in 30 minutes (half of an hour since we burned from both sides) while the other rope would have burnt half. At this moment, light the second rope from the other end as well. Where, the second rope would have taken half an hour more to burn completely, it will take just 15 minutes as we have lit it from the other end too. Thus you have successfully calculated 30+15 = 45 minutes with the help of the two given ropes. --------------✯✯✯--------------- @BrainyRiddles Powered By: Curiosity Tea Crypto Graphs & Business

---------------✯✯✯------------- ☞ Alan is an honest person who never speaks a lie. He thinks of a number among 1, 2 and 3. Now, you can ask him only one question and that too for which the answer that you will receive will be in the form of yes, no or don't know. But he will reply only truth fully. What will you ask from his so that you can know the number he is thinking of? 👁‍🗨View Answer👁‍🗨 ☞ You will ask, I have a number in my mind that i.e. either 2 or 3. Is the number that I have in my mind smaller or equal to the number that you are thinking of? If Alan replies with no, he is thinking of the number 1. If Alan replies with yes, he is thinking of the number 3. If Alan replies with don't know, he is thinking of the number 2. ---------------✯✯✯-------------- @BrainyRiddles Powered By: Curiosity Tea Crypto Graphs & Business

One of the detective picks up the recorder and plays it "I am tired of this life and hence I have decided to relieve myself from the worldly pains". A gunshot follows the message. The teams starts investigating a murder investigation. Why? 👁‍🗨View Answer👁‍🗨 ☞ If the man killed himself, he would not have been able to rewind the cassette. Thus it is clear someone else killed him. -----------✯✯✯--------------- @BrainyRiddles Powered By: Curiosity Tea Crypto Graphs & Business
