a) Jacob"s wife"s sister"s husband"s mother"s son is Patrick"s cousin"s father.
b) Sia"s grand-daughter"s cousin"s father"s sister-in-law is Gerry"s son-in-law"s wife.

Now if Annabelle has no children, what relationship does she share with Michael?

PS: There can be two solutions to this problem.

View Answer Discuss

Solution 1:
Annabelle is Michael"s daughter. This is because Michael is Sia"s son. Also he is married to one of the Gerry"s daughters. Gerry"s other daughter is married to Jacob and Patrick is their son.

Solution 2:
Michael and Jacob are brothers. Sia is their mother. In this case, "Jacob"s wife"s sister"s husband"s mother"s son" refers to Jacob himself. Thus, Patrick is Michale"s son and Annabelle is Jacob"s daughter which means that Annabelle is Michael"s niece.

#2352 - Science Weigh Puzzle

You balance a broom horizontally on your finger such that your finger is present on the center of the gravity of the broom (precisely). You mark the spot and cut the broom into two halves. You are left with two pieces - one long piece with the handle and one short piece with bristles and a portion of handle.

If you weigh both the pieces now, what will happen?
a) The longer piece weighs more.
b) The shorter piece weighs more.
c) Both pieces weighs equal.

View Answer Discuss

The shorter piece will weigh more.

This will happen because to hold the long piece, more torque is needed. You can see a live example if you make a fat kid sit on the opposite corner of the see-saw to a thin kid. The fat kid will have to sit closer in.

#2359 - Biased Coin Puzzle

A 52% bias toss for head using the 51% tail bias coin was done to obtain a fair result.

Can you find how bias is the floor in this case?

View Answer Discuss

First let us assume that all other condition are fair here.
Now the toss will generate a 52:48 distribution in the favour of heads. Therefore, the toss bias factor for heads is 52/48.

In the same manner, the coin will be generating 49:51 distribution in favour of tails which makes the coin bias factor for heads in this case to be 49/51.

So, we have a combined bias factor of (52 * 49) / (51 * 48) = 2548 / 2448 which will be cancelled by a 2448 / 2548 floor factor.
The floor will be generating a distribution of 2448 / (2548 + 2448) : 2548 / (2548 + 2448) in the favour of tails which amounts to 51.00080064% tails approximately.

#2360 - Odd Number Puzzle

Can you find the odd number in the following?

2716, 4135, 5321 and 7145

View Answer Discuss

2716 is the odd one out.

This is because the rest of the numbers add up to be a prime number.
4 + 1 + 3 + 5 = 13
5 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 11
7 + 1 + 4 + 5 = 17

However, in the case of 2716,
2 + 7 + 1 + 6 = 16 which is not a prime number.
