Seems like we've solved the last one so Ill post a new one.

This one took me about 20 minutes to solve by writing everything out...

 

There are 5 houses in 5 different colors
In each house lives a person with a different nationality
These 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet
No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same drink.
Here's the question: Who owns the fish?
The Brit lives in a red house
The Swede keeps dogs as pets
The Dane drinks tea
The green house is on the left of the white house
The green house owner drinks coffee
The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds
The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill
The man living in the house right in the middle drinks milk
The Norwegian lives in the first house
The man who smokes Blend lives next door to the one who keeps cats.
The man who keeps horses lives next door to the man who smokes Dunhill
The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer
The German smokes Prince
The Norwegian lives next to the blue house
The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water
With these 15 clues the problem is solvable.

Took my about 20 minutes but I think I solved it.

 

The German man, living in the green 4th house, who smokes Prince and drinks coffee is the one who owns fish. Am I right?

You have the missing dollar (or extra dollar really). 49 + 1 & 49 + 1 & 1 = 101.

 

50+50 borrowed =97 $ shirt + mom dollar + dad dollar + kept dollar

 

You could also say 97$+1$ you keep = 98$ loan (49+49)

Three kids
Jack: Hey, how are you man?
Bill: Not bad, got married and I have three kids now.
Jack: That"s awesome. How old are they?
Bill: The product of their ages is 72 and the sum of their ages is the same as your birth date.
Jack: Cool..But I still don"t know.
Bill: My eldest kid just started taking piano lessons.
Jack: Oh now I get it.

How old are Bill"s kids?

3,3, and 8. I have seen this before and if I remember correctly the 3,3, and 8 was the most likely to be correct but there is not enough information to clearly identify the correct ages.

It could be:

 

2/4/9

1/8/9

1/6/12

2/3/12

3/3/8

2/6/6

3/4/6

2/2/18

1/4/18

1/3/24

 

I don't know what's the minimum or max for taking piano lessons but all of them apply

as for the birth date...If your talking 19xx then all of them apply if 20xx then not all apply.

Correct there is not enough info but usuing common sence you can eliminate some. 3,3, and 8 makes the most since but it could also be 2,4,9 1,8 and 9 or 3,4,and 6

3,3,8


Lets break it down. The product of their ages is 72. So what are the possible choices?


2, 2, 18 sum(2, 2, 18) = 22

2, 4, 9 sum(2, 4, 9) = 15

2, 6, 6 sum(2, 6, 6) = 14

2, 3, 12 sum(2, 3, 12) = 17

3, 4, 6 sum(3, 4, 6) = 13

3, 3, 8 sum(3, 3, 8 ) = 14

1, 8, 9 sum(1,8,9) = 18

1, 3, 24 sum(1, 3, 24) = 28

1, 4, 18 sum(1, 4, 18) = 23

1, 2, 36 sum(1, 2, 36) = 39

1, 6, 12 sum(1, 6, 12) = 19


The sum of their ages is the same as your birth date. That could be anything from 1 to 31 but the fact that Jack was unable to find out the ages, it means there are two or more combinations with the same sum. From the choices above, only two of them are possible now.


2, 6, 6 sum(2, 6, 6) = 14

3, 3, 8 sum(3, 3, 8 ) = 14


Since the eldest kid is taking piano lessons, we can eliminate combination 1 since there are two eldest ones. The answer is 3, 3 and 8.
