Puzzle : Identical Balls

There are 8 identical balls. In that one of the ball is overweight. There are only two chances to weigh in the weighing machine. How to find the overweight ball?

Answer

First weigh 3 against 3 balls. If the ball contains among these six balls, then take the three balls which weighed over, and weigh the ball 1 against 1. If the balls are not equal and any one of the ball weighs more, that is the overweight ball, else the one among the three which is not weighed is the ball. If the 3 against 3 balls were equal, then weigh the 2 balls, then the overweight ball will be found.

Puzzle : Sequence of numbers

Sequence of numbers are 1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221. What will be the next one in the above sequence?

Answer

 It is a strange sequence. Each number describes the resemblance of the previous one, except the first one.


11 describes the previous '1' which contains one '1'


21 describes the previous '11' which contains two '1'


1211 describes the previous '21' which contains one '2' and one '1'


111221 describes the previous '1211' which contains one '1', one '2' and two '1'.


So the next sequence will be 312211, that is the previous '111221' contains three '1', two '2' and one '1'.

Q:

Puzzle : Blueberries and Cups

Maria have some blueberries and some cups. If she put 9 blueberries into each cup she will have two cups left. If she put 6 blueberries into each cup she will have three blueberries left over.

Answer

The number of blueberries is equal to number of cups multiplied by 4 minus one left.


That is :


      B = 9(C - 2) -> (1)


Then the number of blueberries will be equal to the number of cups times three plus one left.


That is :


      B = 6C + 3 -> (2)


Now substitute the 1st and 2nd equations:


      B = 9(C - 2)


      B = 6C + 3


      C = 7, B = 45.


Therefore Blueberries = 45 and cups = 7.
