Count the number of triangles in the given picture.
24
Just to make it easy for you to understand, we have numbered the triangles. So let us start calculating.
Ten distinct triangles numbered from 1 to 10.
Now, (1+2), (1+2), (1+2+3), (1+2+3+4), (2+3), (2+3+4), (3+4), (5+6), (5+6+7+8), (7+8), (1+2+5+6), (3+4+7+8), (2+6+9), (3+7+10), (6+9), (7+10) and (6+7+9+10).
Thus the total number of triangles are 24.
If you look at the figure given, you will find a square formed with match sticks. This figure comprises of five squares. Can you move the matchsticks such that the resulting figure consists of ten squares?Please note that, you can just drag the matchsticks and can’t rotate them and also you have just four moves. How will you do it?
If you look at the answer figure, you will understand which matchsticks to move and in what manner.
The picture shows the dice results in each couple of throws. If they are actually following a pattern, can you find out the missing one?
The last missing throw will have 3 as the result. This is because, with each pair of the throws you can find that the total sum is increasing by three and then decreasing by one. Therefore the missing throw be 3.
You are confined in a room and given two metal rods. Out of these two rods, one is magnet and the other is the iron rod. They look starkly similar. You dont have any other metal object in the room.
How will you decide which one of those is magnet?
This is pretty simple as the magnet has its magnetic field at poles in general. Then you can just keep one rod on the surface and bring the tip of the other rod towards the center. If the rod which is lying down gets attracted towards your rod, then the one you are holding is the magnet and if it does not then the one lying down is the magnet.
I have a sore throat and a severe headache. I have four tablets with me that are identical to each other and they dont have any cover on them. There is no way I can identify which tablet serves what purpose. The only thing that I know is that two of these four tablets are for throat and the remaining two are for the headache. To treat my condition, I must take 1 of each. What will I do now ?
I cannot identify the tablets by any means. Thus the only solution available is to cut each tablet in half and have them. In this way, it does not matter which tablet is for what purpose. I will be ultimately be having 1 of each.
A man is lying dead in a field where no one is around. His head is split open and his legs are disfigured. Near to him, there is an unopened package. No living organism can be found anywhere at the crime scene.

A guy in his thirties is found dead in a forest. The shocking thing about the body is that he is wearing his swimming trunks snorkel and a facemask.
For your information, the nearest lake is some 10 miles away and the sea is hundreds of miles away.
How did he die then?
The forest in which he is found dead had caught fire. In order to turn off the fire, a fire fighting plane scooped up water from the nearby lake and dropped on the fire. Unfortunately, while scooping up the water, they had accidentally picked up the guy who was snorkeling in the lake. While dropping the water, they dropped that guy as well and he died.
There is a tiny splatter of blood on my ceiling when I wake up. I am alive and there has been no murder in the room. Also, no one has tricked me.
What can be a logical explanation of the splatter?
Its my own blood. A mosquito bit me last night. It then flew away and sat on the ceiling. I got up and killed it by swatting it. Thus, the tiny splatter is from my own blood mixed with mosquitoes blood.
If two fifty foot ropes are suspended from a forty foot ceiling that is twenty feet apart, how much of rope will you be able to steal if you have a knife ?
You can steal almost whole of the rope. First you tie the ropes at the ends and then climb on one of them. Now you tie a loop in the rope closest possible to the ceiling. Then you hang from the loop and cut the rope just below it. Please make sure that you don’t drop that rope or you will be stuck. Now you run the rope through that loop and tie it to your waist. Now you swing towards the other rope and pull the rope going through the loop tightly. Now you cut the other rope as closely possible to the ceiling while you hold the other end tightly. The moment the rope is lose, you swing down below the loop. Now you drop down to the ground by letting the rope out. Then you untie yourself and pull the rope completely through the loop. Now you have the entire rope with you except the portion that was spent tying the loop.
