One winter day, there was a man standing in the middle of someoneโs front yard. The person stayed there for several weeks without moving and the owner of the yard didnโt mind. Eventually, the man left. Who was he?
My first is in wield, sever bones and marrow.
My second is in blade, forged in cold steel.
My third is in arbalest, and also in arrows.
My fourth is in power, plunged through a shield.
My fifth is in honour, and also in vows
My last will put an end to it all.
What am I?
Mike has some chickens that have been laying him plenty of eggs. He wants to give away his eggs to several of his friends, but he wants to give them all the same number of eggs. He figures out that he needs to give 7 of his friends eggs for them to get the same amount, otherwise there is 1 extra egg left.
What is the least number of eggs he needs for this to be true?
301 eggs.
The number of eggs must be one more than a number that is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 since each of these numbers leave a remainder of 1.
For this to be true one less than the number must be divisible by 5, 4, and 3 (6 is 2*3 and 2 is a factor of 4 so they will automatically be a factor). 5 * 4 * 3 = 60. Then you just must find a multiple of 60 such that 60 * n + 1 is divisible by 7. 61 / 7, 121 / 7, 181 / 7, 241 / 7 all leave remainders but 301 / 7 doesn't.
Mickey and Donald decided to take a break from shooting cartoons and played several golf matches against each other in a week.
They played for a pizza at each match, but no pizzas were purchased until the end of the week.
If at any time Mickey and Donald had the same number of wins, those pizzas were canceled. Mickey won four matches (but no pizzas), and Donald won three pizzas. How many rounds of golf were played?
You want Bob to have your phone number, but for some reason you can't ask him directly. You have to write Bob a note, and pass it to him through Lucy. Lucy can give you a note back with Bob's reply, but you don't want Lucy to know your phone number herself.
What will you write on the note to Bob?
This has several options for a creative mind. Our solution? Ask Bob to call you at a certain time, that way you'll know it's him and you can save the phone number.
You're on a ski lift, going from the bottom of the mountain to the top. How many chairs from the other side will you pass by?
A few choices:
1. Half of them
2. 2/3 of them
3. All of them (but yours)
4. 3/4 of them
(The 'Google Riddles' are interview questions those who wish to get hired were asked).
The answer is C - all of them but yours.
The chairs are in a giant loop, with several stopping places on the way to the top, and you will see all the chairs probably more than once before you get up there.
