Q:

A cowboy arrives in town on Friday. He stays for 3 days and then leaves on Friday. How is that possible?

You will get the answer in the riddle itself, if you read the riddle carefully.


The riddle says "A cowboy arrives in town on Friday." So Friday is the name of the horse on which he comes. Hence, the only possibility is he arrives on the horse friday on Tuesday, stays for 3 days and leaves on the same horse on Friday.

Q:

The gas provider Centrica has seen its half-year profits fall by 20% to £992 million. Despite this it has decided to increase its dividend to shareholders to 3.9p per share. The rise in energy prices released before the announcement of Centrica's profits was designed, said the company, to restore "reasonable profitability". The chief executive, Sam Laidlaw, said, "We produced a good set of results in tough market conditions... we will continue to concentrate on improving customer service in British Gas..." This is an interesting statement given the record rise in prices to households. The announcement of profits which are not far off one billion pounds, a day after the announcement of the rise in price and the increase in dividend to shareholders, is likely to provoke angry reaction. Many will question the extent of the market power that Centrica possesses. There will also be those that will question what the phrase 'reasonable profitability' means in the context of profits of nearly one billion pounds.

Question: 1) Announcing large profits, soon after announcing price rises, is likely to provoke angry reaction.

Question: 2) Companies increase shareholder dividends when profits fall.

Question: 3) One way companies can restore profitability is to increase prices.

Answer

Answer 1) True


Answer 2) Cannot tell


Answer 3) True
