A woman calls up the police to say that her grandmother’s ring had been stolen.
When they visit her house, they see broken glass on the lawn and dirty footprints. They arrest the woman. Why?
If someone had broken into the house, they would have left broken glass inside the house - the window was broken from the inside.
Plus vs. Times
Riddle:
Given two 2s, "plus" can be changed to "times" without changing the results: 2 + 2= 2 x 2.
The solution with three numbers is easy too: 1 + 2 + 3= 1 x 2 x 3.
Now find the answer for 4 numbers and for 5 numbers.
For 4 numbers:
1 + 1 + 2 + 4= 1 x 1 x 2 x 4.
For 5 numbers:
1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 5= 1 x 1 x 1 x 2 x 4
1 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 3= 1 x 1 x 1 x 2 x 4
1 + 1 +2 + 2 + 2= 1 x 1 x 2 x 2 x 2
