Interesting Logical Puzzle

admin — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 13:18:27 +0000

This one's an interesting puzzle and DOES NOT involve any MECHANICS!

There's a Bridge 2.4 km long with a load handling capacity of exactly 1 tonne and is bound to collapse if load increases by even a single gram than a tonne.

A bus, loaded fully with passengers, of weight exactly a tonne is crossing over the bridge. At exactly 3/4th of the length of the bridge a Crow comes (out of the Blue) and sits on top of the Bus.
But to everyone's surprise, the Bridge doesn't collapse and the bus crosses it safely.

Why?

Time to solve a very interesting and logical puzzle

I have picked up this puzzle from IBM monthly challenge. I will give the exact link of the site later (for those who are interested)

Background: It's Thanksgiving, and time to stuff the turkey. But we've got a problem. The stuffing came in a cube measuring 12cm on a side. The hole in the turkey, however, will accommodate a rectangular block measuring 8cm by 8cm by 27cm. Due to time constraints (we can't miss the parade on TV) we only want to cut the stuffing into four pieces.

The question:
How can we cut the 12cm cube into four pieces which will reassemble into an 8cm by 8cm by 27cm block?

Teasing Brain Teaser!!

I met Sweety first time in a marriage party in Kolkata. We exchanged our phone numbers and decided to meet each other soon. When she rang up and invited me to her house, she decided to tease me.

This is how she gave me the number of her house on a particular street:

“I live in a long street. Numbered one the one side of my house are the houses one, two, three and so on. All the numbers on one side of my house add up to exactly the same as all the numbers on the other side of my house. I know there are more than 50 houses on that side of the street, but not so many as 500”

Can you help me find Sweety’s House number?
