##### Riddle 1

How can you add eight 8’s to get the number 1,000? (only use addition)

The key to this math riddle is realizing that the one place must be zero. 888 + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1,000

##### Riddle 2

Two fathers and two sons sat down to eat eggs for breakfast. They ate exactly three eggs, each person had an egg. The riddle is for you to explain how

How to Explain the Riddle

One of the ‘fathers’ is also a grandfather. Therefore the other father is both a son and a father to the grandson.

In other words, the one father is both a son and a father.

##### Riddle 3

Part I. What digit is the most frequent between the numbers 1 and 1,000 (inclusive)? To solve this riddle you don’t want to manually do all of the math but rather try to figure out a pattern.

The most common digit is ‘1.’ Can you figure out why? No hints until you try the next riddle because the next riddle is closely tied to this one.

Part II. What digit is the least frequent between the numbers 1 and 1,000?

0 is the least common digit even though 1,000 has three zero’s !

Explanations for both riddles

The digits 0 through 9 all follow the same pattern there is exactly 1 occurrence of each digit for every ten numbers.

• For instance the digit 2 appears once between 10 and 19, at 12. And 2 appears once between, 30 and 39 at 32.
• However, each of the digits 1 through 9 also appear in other numbers in the tens and hundreds place

Again, let’s look at 2 which appears in 20,21,22, 23, etc.. as well as 200,201, 202,203..

So to figure out how to answer the first riddle you had to see what distinguishes the number 1? Only that we are including 1,000 which would be the first ‘1’ in a new series of ten! In other words, the digit 1 only has a single extra occurrence (301 occurrences) compared to 2 or 3 or 9 which each have exactly 300 occurrences.

The reason that zero has the least (BY FAR at only 192 occurrences) is because zero does not have any equivalents to 22, 33, 44, 222, 3333 etc..

##### Riddle 4

Three guys rent a hotel room for the night. When they get to the hotel they pay the $$\30$$ fee, then go up to their room. Soon the bellhop brings up their bags and gives the lawyers back $5 because the hotel was having a special discount that weekend. So the three lawyers decide to each keep one of the$5 dollars and to give the bellhop a $2 tip. However, when they sat down to tally up their expenses for the weekend the could not explain the following details: Each one of them had originally paid$10 (towards the initial $30), then each got back$1 which meant that they each paid $9. Then they gave the bellhop a$2 tip. HOWEVER, 3 • $9 +$2 = $29 The guys couldn’t figure out what happened to the other dollar. After all, the three paid out$30 but could only account for $29. Can you determine what happened? Answer to Riddle There are many ways of explaining/thinking about this truly brain bending riddle! It all boils down to the fact that the lawyers’s math is incorrect. They did NOT spend$9 3 + $2. They spent exactly$27 dollars. $25 for the room and$2 for the tip. Remember they got exactly $3, in total back. Another way to think about the answer to this riddle is to just pretend that the bellhop refunded$3 to the lawyers (rather than giving them $5 and receiving$2 back).

If the lawyers get $3 back and each takes$1. They they spent exactly $27 dollars. ##### Riddle 5 In a certain country of 5 = 3. If the same proportion holds, what is the value of 1/3 of 10 ? Answer to Riddle The answer is 4 ##### Riddle 6 A merchant can place 8 large boxes or 10 small boxes into a carton for shipping. In one shipment, he sent a total of 96 boxes. If there are more large boxes than small boxes, how many cartons did he ship? 11 cartons total 7 large boxes (7 * 8 = 56 boxes) 4 small boxes (4 10 = 40 boxes 11 total cartons and 96 boxes ##### Riddle 7 A farmer is trying to cross a river. He is taking with him a rabbit, carrots and a fox, and he has a small raft. He can only bring 1 item a time across the river because his raft can only fit either the rabbit, the carrots or the fox. How does he cross the river. (You can assume that the fox does not eat the rabbit if the man is present, you can also assume that the fox and the rabbit are not trying to escape and run away) The key to solving this riddle is realizing that you have to take the rabbit over first and the switch the fox with the rabbit. See step 2. Take the rabbit to the other side Go back and get the Fox and switch it with the Rabbit **The key here is that the carrots and the rabbit are not being left alone. Take the carrots across Go back and get the rabbit ##### Riddle 8 Three brothers live in a farm. They agreed to buy new seeds: Adam and Ben would go and Charlie stayed to protect fields. Ben bought 75 sacks of wheat in the market whereas Adam bought 45 sacks. At home, they split the sacks equally. Charlie had paid 1400 dollars for the wheat. How much dollars did Ben and Adam get of the sum, considering equal split of the sacks? Every farmer’s part is 1/3(45+75) = 40 sacks. Charlie paid$1400 for 40 sacks, then 1 sack costs $1400/40 =$35/sack.

Adam got $35*(45-40)=35*5 =$175.

Ben got $35*(75-40)=35*35 =$1225.

##### Riddle 9

An insurance salesman walk up to house and knocks on the door. A woman answers, and he asks her how many children she has and how old they are. She says I will give you a hint. If you multiply the 3 children’s ages, you get 36. He says this is not enough information. So she gives a him 2 nd hint. If you add up the children’s ages, the sum is the number on the house next door. He goes next door and looks at the house number and says this is still not enough information. So she says she’ll give him one last hint which is that her oldest of the 3 plays piano.

Why would he need to go back to get the last hint after seeing the number on the house next door?

Because the sum of their ages ( the number on the house) is ambiguous and could refer to more than 1 trio of factors.

If you list out the trio of factors that multiply to 36 and their sums, you get :

• 1 1 36 = 38
• 1 2 18 = 21
• 1 3 12 = 16
• 1 4 9 = 14
• 6 6 1 = 13
• 2 2 9 = 13
• 2 3 6 = 11
• 3 3 4 = 10

Since the number on the house next door is not enough information there must be more than 1 factor trio that sums up to it, leaving two possibilities: < 6, 6, 1>, <2, 2, 9>. When she says her ‘oldest’ you know it can not be <6,6,1>since she would have two ‘older’ sons not an ‘oldest’.

##### Riddle 10

This is a famous one. The classic Monty hall riddle!

You are confronted by 3 doors. Behind one of them is a car, behind the two others, you will only see a goat. Now, if you correctly pick the car, you win the car ! Otherwise, if you get one of the 2 goats, you don’t get the car.

So, pick any door. It doesn’t matter which one, but we will suppose that you picked door #2, as an example.

Should You switch?

Now, after you have picked a door and before finding out what is actually behind it, you are shown a goat behind one of the other doors.(Remember there has to be a goat in 1 of the doors that you have not picked. )

Let’s say you choose door #2, as shown above. For example’s sake, let’s say there’s a goat in door 1. The question and the riddle is : should you switch the door that you picked? In other words, in this example, should you now choose door 3? Or, should you stick with your first choice (door #2)?

There actually is a mathematically correct answer to this riddle: You should indeed change your choice. If you don’t believe me, just try out our free online Monty hall simulation.

There are a few trees in a garden. On one of them, a pear tree, there are pears (quite logical). But after a strong wind blew, there were neither pears on the tree nor on the ground.

A poor farmer went to the market to sell some peas and lentils. However, as he had only one sack and didn’t want to mix peas and lentils, he poured in the peas first, tied the sack in the middle, and then filled the top portion of the sack with the lentils. At the market a rich innkeeper happened by with his own sack. He wanted to buy the peas, but he did not want the lentils.

On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that$5 would be difficult to split among three people so he pockets $2 and gives$1 to each person. Now each person paid $10 and got back$1. So they paid $9 each, totaling$27. The bellboy has another $2, adding up to$29.

Where is the remaining dollar?

## Small Hotel

13 people came into a hotel with 12 rooms and each guest wanted his own room. The bellboy solved this problem.

He asked the thirteenth guest to wait a little with the first guest in room number 1. So in the first room there were two people. The bellboy took the third guest to room number 2, the fourth to number 3, . and the twelfth guest to room number 11. Then he returned to room number 1 and took the thirteenth guest to room number 12, still vacant.

• Math Horror Stories from Real world
##### Riddle 1

How can you add eight 8’s to get the number 1,000? (only use addition)

The key to this math riddle is realizing that the one place must be zero. 888 + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1,000

##### Riddle 2

Two fathers and two sons sat down to eat eggs for breakfast. They ate exactly three eggs, each person had an egg. The riddle is for you to explain how

How to Explain the Riddle

One of the ‘fathers’ is also a grandfather. Therefore the other father is both a son and a father to the grandson.

In other words, the one father is both a son and a father.

##### Riddle 3

Part I. What digit is the most frequent between the numbers 1 and 1,000 (inclusive)? To solve this riddle you don’t want to manually do all of the math but rather try to figure out a pattern.

The most common digit is ‘1.’ Can you figure out why? No hints until you try the next riddle because the next riddle is closely tied to this one.

Part II. What digit is the least frequent between the numbers 1 and 1,000?

0 is the least common digit even though 1,000 has three zero’s !

Explanations for both riddles

The digits 0 through 9 all follow the same pattern there is exactly 1 occurrence of each digit for every ten numbers.

• For instance the digit 2 appears once between 10 and 19, at 12. And 2 appears once between, 30 and 39 at 32.
• However, each of the digits 1 through 9 also appear in other numbers in the tens and hundreds place

Again, let’s look at 2 which appears in 20,21,22, 23, etc.. as well as 200,201, 202,203..

So to figure out how to answer the first riddle you had to see what distinguishes the number 1? Only that we are including 1,000 which would be the first ‘1’ in a new series of ten! In other words, the digit 1 only has a single extra occurrence (301 occurrences) compared to 2 or 3 or 9 which each have exactly 300 occurrences.

The reason that zero has the least (BY FAR at only 192 occurrences) is because zero does not have any equivalents to 22, 33, 44, 222, 3333 etc..

##### Riddle 4

Three guys rent a hotel room for the night. When they get to the hotel they pay the $$\30$$ fee, then go up to their room. Soon the bellhop brings up their bags and gives the lawyers back $5 because the hotel was having a special discount that weekend. So the three lawyers decide to each keep one of the$5 dollars and to give the bellhop a $2 tip. However, when they sat down to tally up their expenses for the weekend the could not explain the following details: Each one of them had originally paid$10 (towards the initial $30), then each got back$1 which meant that they each paid $9. Then they gave the bellhop a$2 tip. HOWEVER, 3 • $9 +$2 = $29 The guys couldn’t figure out what happened to the other dollar. After all, the three paid out$30 but could only account for $29. Can you determine what happened? Answer to Riddle There are many ways of explaining/thinking about this truly brain bending riddle! It all boils down to the fact that the lawyers’s math is incorrect. They did NOT spend$9 3 + $2. They spent exactly$27 dollars. $25 for the room and$2 for the tip. Remember they got exactly $3, in total back. Another way to think about the answer to this riddle is to just pretend that the bellhop refunded$3 to the lawyers (rather than giving them $5 and receiving$2 back).

If the lawyers get $3 back and each takes$1. They they spent exactly $27 dollars. ##### Riddle 5 In a certain country of 5 = 3. If the same proportion holds, what is the value of 1/3 of 10 ? Answer to Riddle The answer is 4 ##### Riddle 6 A merchant can place 8 large boxes or 10 small boxes into a carton for shipping. In one shipment, he sent a total of 96 boxes. If there are more large boxes than small boxes, how many cartons did he ship? 11 cartons total 7 large boxes (7 * 8 = 56 boxes) 4 small boxes (4 10 = 40 boxes 11 total cartons and 96 boxes ##### Riddle 7 A farmer is trying to cross a river. He is taking with him a rabbit, carrots and a fox, and he has a small raft. He can only bring 1 item a time across the river because his raft can only fit either the rabbit, the carrots or the fox. How does he cross the river. (You can assume that the fox does not eat the rabbit if the man is present, you can also assume that the fox and the rabbit are not trying to escape and run away) The key to solving this riddle is realizing that you have to take the rabbit over first and the switch the fox with the rabbit. See step 2. Take the rabbit to the other side Go back and get the Fox and switch it with the Rabbit **The key here is that the carrots and the rabbit are not being left alone. Take the carrots across Go back and get the rabbit ##### Riddle 8 Three brothers live in a farm. They agreed to buy new seeds: Adam and Ben would go and Charlie stayed to protect fields. Ben bought 75 sacks of wheat in the market whereas Adam bought 45 sacks. At home, they split the sacks equally. Charlie had paid 1400 dollars for the wheat. How much dollars did Ben and Adam get of the sum, considering equal split of the sacks? Every farmer’s part is 1/3(45+75) = 40 sacks. Charlie paid$1400 for 40 sacks, then 1 sack costs $1400/40 =$35/sack.

Adam got $35*(45-40)=35*5 =$175.

Ben got $35*(75-40)=35*35 =$1225.

##### Riddle 9

An insurance salesman walk up to house and knocks on the door. A woman answers, and he asks her how many children she has and how old they are. She says I will give you a hint. If you multiply the 3 children’s ages, you get 36. He says this is not enough information. So she gives a him 2 nd hint. If you add up the children’s ages, the sum is the number on the house next door. He goes next door and looks at the house number and says this is still not enough information. So she says she’ll give him one last hint which is that her oldest of the 3 plays piano.

Why would he need to go back to get the last hint after seeing the number on the house next door?

Because the sum of their ages ( the number on the house) is ambiguous and could refer to more than 1 trio of factors.

If you list out the trio of factors that multiply to 36 and their sums, you get :

• 1 1 36 = 38
• 1 2 18 = 21
• 1 3 12 = 16
• 1 4 9 = 14
• 6 6 1 = 13
• 2 2 9 = 13
• 2 3 6 = 11
• 3 3 4 = 10

Since the number on the house next door is not enough information there must be more than 1 factor trio that sums up to it, leaving two possibilities: < 6, 6, 1>, <2, 2, 9>. When she says her ‘oldest’ you know it can not be <6,6,1>since she would have two ‘older’ sons not an ‘oldest’.

##### Riddle 10

This is a famous one. The classic Monty hall riddle!

You are confronted by 3 doors. Behind one of them is a car, behind the two others, you will only see a goat. Now, if you correctly pick the car, you win the car ! Otherwise, if you get one of the 2 goats, you don’t get the car.

So, pick any door. It doesn’t matter which one, but we will suppose that you picked door #2, as an example.

Should You switch?

Now, after you have picked a door and before finding out what is actually behind it, you are shown a goat behind one of the other doors.(Remember there has to be a goat in 1 of the doors that you have not picked. )

Let’s say you choose door #2, as shown above. For example’s sake, let’s say there’s a goat in door 1. The question and the riddle is : should you switch the door that you picked? In other words, in this example, should you now choose door 3? Or, should you stick with your first choice (door #2)?

There actually is a mathematically correct answer to this riddle: You should indeed change your choice. If you don’t believe me, just try out our free online Monty hall simulation.

## Apples

A basket contains 5 apples. Do you know how to divide them among 5 kids so that each one has an apple and one apple stays in the basket?

## Pears

There are a few trees in a garden. On one of them, a pear tree, there are pears (quite logical). But after a strong wind blew, there were neither pears on the tree nor on the ground.

A poor farmer went to the market to sell some peas and lentils. However, as he had only one sack and didn’t want to mix peas and lentils, he poured in the peas first, tied the sack in the middle, and then filled the top portion of the sack with the lentils. At the market a rich innkeeper happened by with his own sack. He wanted to buy the peas, but he did not want the lentils.

Pouring the seed anywhere else but the sacks is considered soiling. Trading sacks is not allowed. The farmer can’t cut a hole in his sack.

How would you transfer the peas to the innkeeper’s sack, which he wants to keep, without soiling the produce?

## Sea Tales

The captain of a ship was telling this interesting story: “We traveled the sea far and wide. At one time, two of my sailors were standing on opposite sides of the ship. One was looking west and the other one east. And at the same time, they could see each other clearly.”

How can that be possible?

A ladder hangs over the side of a ship anchored in a port. The bottom rung touches the water. The distance between rungs is 20 cm and the length of the ladder is 180 cm. The tide is rising at the rate of 15 cm each hour.

When will the water reach the seventh rung from the top?

## Hotel Bill

Three people check into a hotel. They pay $30 to the manager and go to their room. The manager finds out that the room rate is$25 and gives the bellboy $5 to return to the guests. On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that$5 would be difficult to split among three people so he pockets $2 and gives$1 to each person. Now each person paid $10 and got back$1. So they paid $9 each, totaling$27. The bellboy has another $2, adding up to$29.

Where is the remaining dollar?

## Small Hotel

13 people came into a hotel with 12 rooms and each guest wanted his own room. The bellboy solved this problem.

He asked the thirteenth guest to wait a little with the first guest in room number 1. So in the first room there were two people. The bellboy took the third guest to room number 2, the fourth to number 3, . and the twelfth guest to room number 11. Then he returned to room number 1 and took the thirteenth guest to room number 12, still vacant.

How can everybody have his own room?

##### Riddle 8

Three Brothers on a Farm

Three brothers live in a farm. They agreed to buy new seeds: Adam and Ben would go and Charlie stayed to protect fields. Ben bought 75 sacks of wheat in the market whereas Adam bought 45 sacks. At home, they split the sacks equally. Charlie had paid 1400 dollars for the wheat. How much dollars did Ben and Adam get of the sum, considering equal split of the sacks?

Every farmer’s part is 1/3(45+75) = 40 sacks.
Charlie paid $1400 for 40 sacks, then 1 sack costs$1400/40 = $35/sack. Adam got$35*(45-40)=35*5 = $175. Ben got$35*(75-40)=35*35 = $1225. Answer: Ben$1225, Adam $175 ##### Riddle 9 The Insurance Salesman An insurance salesman walk up to house and knocks on the door. A woman answers, and he asks her how many children she has and how old they are. She says I will give you a hint. If you multiply the 3 children’s ages, you get 36. He says this is not enough information. So she gives a him 2 nd hint. If you add up the children’s ages, the sum is the number on the house next door. He goes next door and looks at the house number and says this is still not enough information. So she says she’ll give him one last hint which is that her oldest of the 3 plays piano. Why would he need to go back to get the last hint after seeing the number on the house next door? Because the sum of their ages ( the number on the house) is ambiguous and could refer to more than 1 trio of factors. Answer to Riddle If you list out the trio of factors that multiply to 36 and their sums, you get. • 1 1 36 = 38 • 1 2 18 = 21 • 1 3 12 = 16 • 1 4 9 = 14 • 6 6 1 = 13 • 2 2 9 = 13 • 2 3 6 = 11 • 3 3 4 = 10 Since the number on the house next door is not enough information there must be more than 1 factor trio that sums up to it, leaving two possibilities: < 6, 6, 1>. <2, 2, 9>. When she says her ‘oldest’ you know it can not be <6,6,1> since she would have two ‘older’ sons not an ‘oldest’. ##### Riddle 10 This is a famous one. The classic Monty hall riddle! You are confronted by 3 doors. Behind one of them is a car, behind the two others, you will only see a goat. Now, if you correctly pick the car, you win the car. Otherwise, if you get one of the 2 goats, you don’t get the car. So, pick any door. It doesn’t matter which one, but we will suppose that you picked door #2, as an example. Now, after you have picked a door and before finding out what is actually behind it, you are shown a goat behind one of the other doors.(Remember there has to be a goat in 1 of the doors that you have not picked. ) Let’s say you choose door #2, as shown above. For example’s sake, let’s say there’s a goat in door 1. The question and the riddle is. should you switch the door that you picked? In other words, in this example, should you now choose door 3? Or, should you stick with your first choice (door #2)? There actually is a mathematically correct answer to this riddle: You should indeed change your choice.

His riddle involving Achilles, the character from Homer’s Iliad and a tortoise went something like: The tortoise challenged Achilles to a race and Achilles, full of typical hubris, accepted and even gave the Tortoise a 10 foot head start. Before the race started, the tortoise told Achilles that the reason Achilles would lose is that even though Achilles would be catching up, the tortoise would always be moving ahead. Therefore, Achilles would always be covering a fraction of the distance between the two. Let’s say he covered half of the distance in 1 second (5 feet) and then in the next he covered half of the new distance, the remaining 5 feet plus the Tortoise’s new distance. In the end, the tortoise convinced Achilles that he could not win the race because although he would be getting closer and closer, he would still always be covering smaller and smaller fractions of the total distance between the two. Therefore, Achilles forfeited the race.

The two children were so befogged over the calendar that they had started on their way to school on Sunday morning! ## Apples A basket contains 5 apples. Do you know how to divide them among 5 kids so that each one has an apple and one apple stays in the basket? Answer to this riddle goes as follows: 4 kids get an apple (one apple for each one of them) and the fifth kid gets an apple with the basket still containing the apple. ## Pears There are a few trees in a garden. On one of them, a pear tree, there are pears (quite logical). But after a strong wind blew, there were neither pears on the tree nor on the ground. How come? At first, there were 2 pears on the tree. After the wind blew, one pear fell on the ground. So there where no pears on the tree and there were no pears on the ground. ## Sack A poor farmer went to the market to sell some peas and lentils. However, as he had only one sack and didn’t want to mix peas and lentils, he poured in the peas first, tied the sack in the middle, and then filled the top portion of the sack with the lentils. At the market a rich innkeeper happened by with his own sack. He wanted to buy the peas, but he did not want the lentils. Pouring the seed anywhere else but the sacks is considered soiling. Trading sacks is not allowed. The farmer can’t cut a hole in his sack. How would you transfer the peas to the innkeeper’s sack, which he wants to keep, without soiling the produce? Pour the lentils into the innkeeper’s sack, bind it and turn inside out. Pour in the peas. Then unbind the sack a pour the lentils back to your sack. ## Sea Tales The captain of a ship was telling this interesting story: “We traveled the sea far and wide. At one time, two of my sailors were standing on opposite sides of the ship. One was looking west and the other one east. And at the same time, they could see each other clearly.” How can that be possible? The marines were standing back against the sides of the ship so they were looking at each other. It does not matter where the ship is (of course it does not apply to the North and South Pole). ## Ship Ladder A ladder hangs over the side of a ship anchored in a port. The bottom rung touches the water. The distance between rungs is 20 cm and the length of the ladder is 180 cm. The tide is rising at the rate of 15 cm each hour. When will the water reach the seventh rung from the top? If the tide is raising water, then it is raising the ship on water, too. So water will reach still the first rung. ## Hotel Bill Three people check into a hotel. They pay$30 to the manager and go to their room. The manager finds out that the room rate is $25 and gives the bellboy$5 to return to the guests. On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that $5 would be difficult to split among three people so he pockets$2 and gives $1 to each person. Now each person paid$10 and got back $1. So they paid$9 each, totaling $27. The bellboy has another$2, adding up to $29. Where is the remaining dollar? This is a nice nonsense. Each guest paid$9 because they gave $30 and they were given back$3. The manager got $25 and the difference ($2) has the bellboy. So it is nonsense to add the $2 to the$27, since the bellboy kept the $2. ## Small Hotel 13 people came into a hotel with 12 rooms and each guest wanted his own room. The bellboy solved this problem. He asked the thirteenth guest to wait a little with the first guest in room number 1. So in the first room there were two people. The bellboy took the third guest to room number 2, the fourth to number 3. and the twelfth guest to room number 11. Then he returned to room number 1 and took the thirteenth guest to room number 12, still vacant. How can everybody have his own room? Of course, it is impossible. Into the second room should have gone the 2nd guest, because the 13th guest was waiting in room number 1. ## Twins Two girls were born to the same mother, on the same day, at the same time, in the same month and year and yet they’re not twins. How can this be? When he’s trapped in quicksand. ## Short Riddles with Answers 1. Why can’t a man living in the USA be buried in Canada? 2. Is it legal for a man in California to marry his widow’s sister? Why? 3. A man builds a house rectangular in shape. All the sides have southern exposure. A big bear walks by. What color is the bear? Why? (similar to the Bear riddle in the section Einstein’s Riddles ) 4. If there are 3 apples and you take away 2, how many do you have? 5. How far can a dog run into the woods? 6.

You can t determine the answer.

I debated adding this riddle because it is less of a riddle and more of an illustration of how kids are (or are not) being taught to think for themselves. But after reading how kids feel the need to make up an answer without understanding why, I thought this could be a good reminder for all of us to exercise our critical thinking skills.

You eat me.
I can mean you re crazy.
I hold things together.
I help climbers stay safe.
I can replace a swear.

People with nut allergies can die from eating nuts. Being hit in the nuts hurts (I speak from experience. Painful, painful experience). You eat nuts (unless you re allergic, in which case you should run away). If someone says you re nuts, it doesn t mean you re a peanut or an almond. Nuts and bolts hold things together. A climber s nut or chock wedges into a rock. Instead of swearing, you can say, Aww nuts! . And finally, the nut on a violin is a small piece of hard material that supports the strings.

Zero is nothing, yet when you add zeroes to a number like 1, it becomes 10, 100 or 1,000.

The ancient Greeks did not have a name for zero and did not use a placeholder. They seemed unsure about the status of zero as a number, philosophizing about how nothing could be something. Once zero was added, it allowed for more mathematical understanding.

Alphonso replies, It s Bernie. I don t believe it. Let s go introduce ourselves. Neither of them had ever met Bernie before. They d never seen a picture or painting of him, nor was he a famous celebrity. How was this possible? Alphonso was born as a twin, but he was separated from his twin brother at birth. Bernie is Alphonso s identical twin, which is how Sadie was able to recognize him in the crowd. This is kind of a cheat, because there are probably other possible explanations.

As a result of temporary magical powers, you have made it to the Wimbledon finals and are playing Roger Federer for all the marbles. However, your powers cannot last the whole match. What score do you want it to be when they disappear, to maximize your chances of hanging on for a win? It sounds obvious that you should ask to be ahead two sets to love (it takes 3 out of 5 sets to win the men’s), and in the third set, ahead 5-0 in games and 40-love in the sixth game. (Probably you want to be serving, but if your serve is like mine, you might prefer Roger to be serving the sixth game down 0-40 so that you can pray for a double fault.) Not so fast! These solutions give you essentially 3 chances to get lucky and win, but you can get six chances—with three services by you and three by Roger. You still want to be up two sets to none, but let the game score be 6-6 in the third set and 6-0—in your favor, of course—in the tiebreaker. Credit goes to Peter Winkler for creating this.

Louis Wain, Cats with Cat Dolls . Hink pink is a word game in which synonyms, circumlocution, and micronarratives provide clues for rhyming phrases. In the standard explanatory example, an “overweight feline” is a “fat cat.” Hink pinks on that babyish level aspire to lend vocabulary building an air of fun, but more sophisticated puzzles are sometimes mulled over on road trips, in trenches, and in other settings where boredom and tension might be mellowed, to paraphrase Dryden, by the dull sweets of rhyme. Players aren’t restricted to monosyllables. A puzzle of disyllabic components is a hinky pinky, followed with decreasing dignity by hinkily pinkilies, hinklediddle pinklediddles, and hinklediddledoo pinklediddledoos. Even with longer puzzles, however, the goal, almost a mandate, is for each syllable to rhyme perfectly, though this perfection might depend on idiosyncratic stress. Many of the puzzles below are possessive constructions along the lines of “Bob’s jobs,” but where pluralization seemed cumbersome, nearly perfect rhymes were tolerated (“Bob’s job”). If you’re spurred to dream up hink pinks of your own, keep in mind that answers shouldn’t merely rhyme but also hold meaning as a unit, however whimsically. “Tree soda” might lead to “oak Coke,” but joylessly. “Naturalist’s soft drink” for “Zola’s cola” is more in the spirit. 1.

They agreed to buy new seeds: Adam and Ben would go and Charlie stayed to protect fields. Ben bought 75 sacks of wheat in the market whereas Adam bought 45 sacks. At home, they split the sacks equally. Charlie had paid 1400 dollars for the wheat. How much dollars did Ben and Adam get of the sum, considering equal split of the sacks? Every farmer’s part is 1/3(45+75) = 40 sacks. Charlie paid$1400 for 40 sacks, then 1 sack costs $1400/40 =$35/sack.

Adam got $35*(45-40)=35*5 =$175.
Ben got $35*(75-40)=35*35 =$1225.
Answer: Ben $1225, Adam$175

##### Riddle 9

The Insurance Salesman

An insurance salesman walk up to house and knocks on the door. A woman answers, and he asks her how many children she has and how old they are. She says I will give you a hint. If you multiply the 3 children’s ages, you get 36. He says this is not enough information. So she gives a him 2 nd hint. If you add up the children’s ages, the sum is the number on the house next door. He goes next door and looks at the house number and says this is still not enough information. So she says she’ll give him one last hint which is that her oldest of the 3 plays piano.

Why would he need to go back to get the last hint after seeing the number on the house next door?

Because the sum of their ages ( the number on the house) is ambiguous and could refer to more than 1 trio of factors.

If you list out the trio of factors that multiply to 36 and their sums, you get.

• 1 1 36 = 38
• 1 2 18 = 21
• 1 3 12 = 16
• 1 4 9 = 14
• 6 6 1 = 13
• 2 2 9 = 13
• 2 3 6 = 11
• 3 3 4 = 10

Since the number on the house next door is not enough information there must be more than 1 factor trio that sums up to it, leaving two possibilities: < 6, 6, 1>. <2, 2, 9>. When she says her ‘oldest’ you know it can not be <6,6,1> since she would have two ‘older’ sons not an ‘oldest’.

##### Riddle 10

This is a famous one. The classic Monty hall riddle!

You are confronted by 3 doors. Behind one of them is a car, behind the two others, you will only see a goat. Now, if you correctly pick the car, you win the car. Otherwise, if you get one of the 2 goats, you don’t get the car.

So, pick any door. It doesn’t matter which one, but we will suppose that you picked door #2, as an example.

Now, after you have picked a door and before finding out what is actually behind it, you are shown a goat behind one of the other doors.(Remember there has to be a goat in 1 of the doors that you have not picked. )

Let’s say you choose door #2, as shown above. For example’s sake, let’s say there’s a goat in door 1. The question and the riddle is. should you switch the door that you picked? In other words, in this example, should you now choose door 3? Or, should you stick with your first choice (door #2)?

There actually is a mathematically correct answer to this riddle: You should indeed change your choice. If you don’t believe me, just try out our free online Monty hall simulation .

##### Riddle 11

If 9999 = 4, 8888 = 8, 1816 = 6, 1212 = 0, then 1919 =

Look at how many closed areas there are.

• 9999 has 4 closed areas (the top of the ‘9’)
• 8888 has 8 closed areas, the top and bottom parts of the 8 and there are no other digits
• 1816 has 3 closed areas, (top and bottom of 8 and bottom of 6, and it has 2 other digits ( 3*2=6)
• 1212 has 0 closed areas,(0*4=0)
##### Riddle 12

An athlete is able to jump FOREVER. However, everytime that she jumps she gets a bit more tired, and every jump goes $$\frac 1 2$$ as far as her prior jump. Now, for her very first jump, she goes $$\frac 1 2$$ of a foot.

On her second jump, she goes $$\frac 1 4$$ of a foot, and so on and so forth. The beginning of her journey is shown in the gif below.

How many jumps does it take for her to travel 1 foot?

She will never get to the 1 foot mark because you keep adding smaller and smaller amounts!

### Other Good Riddles

Quick summary of riddle: Zeno of Elea (490-425 BC) is known for creating many paradoxes which were debated by mathematicians for centuries. His riddle involving Achilles, the character from Homer’s Iliad and a tortoise went something like:

The tortoise challenged Achilles to a race and Achilles, full of typical hubris, accepted and even gave the Tortoise a 10 foot head start. Before the race started, the tortoise told Achilles that the reason Achilles would lose is that even though Achilles would be catching up, the tortoise would always be moving ahead. Therefore, Achilles would always be covering a fraction of the distance between the two. Let’s say he covered half of the distance in 1 second (5 feet) and then in the next he covered half of the new distance, the remaining 5 feet plus the Tortoise’s new distance. In the end, the tortoise convinced Achilles that he could not win the race because although he would be getting closer and closer, he would still always be covering smaller and smaller fractions of the total distance between the two. Therefore, Achilles forfeited the race. To read this riddle in a modern narrative form click here .
