Ok, I thought of starting my favourie topic...i.e. Puzzles.

Here is the first puzzle.

Four coworkers are all going on different vacations during the month of February. Each proclaimed that they wanted to go somewhere warm for awhile – they’d seen enough snow for one winter. The rest of their departments watched them come and go with envy. Each coworker had a wonderful time and returned to work with a tan and lots of pictures of their trip. Determine the full name of each vacationer, the city each is traveling to, the means of transportation being used (one was an airplane), and how long each vacationer plans to stay (3 to 6 days).

1. Mr. Cook didn’t go to Las Vegas but he was gone longer than the person who used the bus. The person whose last name was Wakefield was gone longer than the person who went to Atlanta.

2. The person who traveled by train spent five days on vacation.

3. Fred rented a car for his vacation. Melinda’s last name wasn’t Wakefield.

4. Larry went to Orlando. The person whose last name was Surrey didn’t travel to Atlanta but was gone for three days.

5. Harriet West didn’t travel by bus. The person who visited Atlanta for four days wasn’t Fred.

6. Larry’s last name wasn’t Wakefield. The person who went to Houston was gone for six days.


First Names: Fred, Harriet, Larry, Melinda
Last Names: Surrey, Cook, West, Wakefield
City Names: Houston Atlanta, Las Vegas, Orlando
# of days: 3,4,5,6

Ok here is the next one......


Last weekend was the Super Bowl game, the annual championship game for the US National Football League (NFL), and a game that was particularly anticipated this year by nationwide football fans. Greg and five of his friends were no exceptions, and they all met at Greg’s home on Sunday afternoon – snacks in hand and decked out in their favorite team fan gear – ready to enjoy the game on Greg’s large, widescreen TV. Determine the full name of Greg’s friends, and what type of snack and drink each brought with them.

1. George didn’t bring the popcorn. The friend who brought the sparkling water also brought the vegetable platter. Elliot’s last name wasn’t Shark.

2. Mr. Smith, whose first name wasn’t Harry, brought the buffalo wings but not the soda.

3. Frank’s last name wasn’t Strait. The person who brought the meatballs wasn’t Harry.

4. The espresso was brought by the person whose last name was South. Elliot didn’t bring the margaritas.

5. George Sanford didn’t bring the beer. Harry didn’t bring the espresso. Daryl didn’t bring the buffalo wings.

6. The five friends are Harry, the one who brought the cheese balls, the one whose last name is Shark, the one who brought the margaritas, and the one who brought the popcorn.

First Names: Daryl, George, Elliot, Harry, Frank
Last Names: Smith, Strait, Sanford, Shark, South
Snacks: Popcorn, Meatballs, Cheese balls, Buffalo wings, Vegetable platter
Drinks: Sparkling water, Soda, Margaritas, Espresso, Beer

How milkman will give exactly half litre of milk to each lady?

lets put it in table form

10-----10-----1-----1.25 cans
10-----10-----0-----0 in start
8.75---10-----0-----1.25
8.75---10-----1-----0.25
9.75---10-----0-----0.25
9.75---10-----0.25--0
9.75---8.75---0.25--1.25
9.75---8.75---1-----0.5
10-----8.75---0.75--0.5
10-----9.5----0-----0.5
9------9.5----1-----0.5
9------10-----0.5---0.5

so in the end both ladies have got the required milk with them.

te baaki aaha google aali gall mere dimaag ch kyon ni aayi :kin
