#24 - Buy Maths Chocolate Puzzle
A kid goes to a confectionery and buys three kinds of chocolates. The first one is priced at 5 rupees, second one at 3 rupees and third one at 0.5 rupees.
If he bought 100 chocolates in total, how many pieces do you think he bought of each chocolate?
Let us denote the chocolates with a, b and c.
We can frame the following two equations now
a + b + c = 100 ------ (1)
5a + 3b + 0.5c = 100
or 10a + 6b + c = 200 ---- (2)
Now, 2*[(Eq. 2) - (Eq.1)]
9a + 5b = 100
from this equation"a" should be a multiple of 5
for a = 5 ; b = 11
for a = 10 ; b = 2
for a = 15 or more b becomes -ve
Therefore, the two possible answers are
a = 5, b = 11, c = 84
a = 10, b = 2, c = 88
#25 - Calculate Time Puzzle
Amy was sitting in front of a clock. When she observed it for the first time, the hour hand was at a minute mark and the minute hand was six minutes ahead it.

Can you calculate how much time has elapsed between two observations?
When Amy first observed, the time was 1:12 and when she noticed again, the time was 3:24. Hence, 2 hours and 12 minutes have passed between two observations.

#28 - How Many Animals Maths Puzzle
A cricket has 6 legs, a squirrel has 4 legs and a spider has 8 legs.
In a local zoo, it was found that the total number of legs is 612. Also, there are equal number of each of the above animals/insects.
Can you find out how many animals are there in the zoo?
There are a total of 102 animals and 34 of each kind.
Since we know that the number of each animal is equal. Therefore, each cricket, squirrel and spider will be having 18 legs.
Now, 612/18 = 34 of each animal.
Therefore, number of animals in total = 34 * 3 = 102.
