Best Riddles of January 2015

This problem can be best solved using the pigeonhole principle.

The argument will go like this:
Assume that all the non-bald people in NYC have different number of hairs on their head. The population is about 9 million and let us assume that there are 8 million among them who are not bald.

Now, those 8 million people need to have different number of hairs. On an average, people have just 100, 000 hairs on their head. If we keep on assuming that there is someone with just one hair, someone with two, someone with three and so on, there will be 7, 900, 00 other people left who will have more than 100, 000 hairs on their head and need different number of hairs.

Now, as per this assumption, if we keep increasing one hair for each person, to make everybody hair different in numbers, we will come across someone with 8, 000, 000 hairs. But that is practically impossible (even 1, 000, 000 is impossible). Thus there must be two people who are having same number of hairs.

The movie name that this picture refers to is - 21 and Over.

There are 24 triangles in this picture.

"The" is defined by the word "Pi".

In the statements (a), (b) and (c), common coded word is "Miso" and common normal word is "are". So, "Miso" means "are".

In the statements (a) and (d), common coded word (except "are") is "Ro" and common normal word is "Goblins". So, "Ro" means "Goblins".

Similarly, in the statements (b), (c) and (d), common coded word is "KoPi" and common normal word is "Evil". So, "KoPi" means "Evil".

Therefore, "Ro", "Miso", "KoPi" means "Goblins", "are", "Evil" respectively. Thus, in statement (d), the remaining word i.e., "Pi" means "the".

The name of the movie is Edge of Tomorrow. The word tomorrow written on the edge makes it pretty easy to decipher.

He will be your father most probably or can be your uncle. (Husband of mother"s sister).

The first digit except bottom segment can encode MM (6^2=64>=60).
Some order is needed to be agreed upon so that they represent the MM in binary.
Each element of display is a binary digit:
"On"=1
"Off"=0

In the same manner you can encode seconds by using the second digit.

The rest four elements of display (two bottom segments and two dots) can be used to encode HH (4^2=16>=12)

18

Assume that the total number of can before distribution were 3*C

After distribution, each one of them had C cans then.

Each one of them drank four cans and thus (C-4) cans remained.

Now according to the questions we can frame the following equation:

3 * (C-4) = C
(3 * C) - 12 = C
2* C = 12
C = 6

Thus, the total cans before distribution were 3 * C = 3 * 6 = 18.

It was a women world cup. The country had strict rules against female nudity and thus, the players were arrested.

Grey

If you know a bit about hexacodes, you must have already googled it. The designers wont have to do even that as this hexacode refers to the color Grey. Thus the movie name is The Grey.
