This is basically a game of Tic-Tac-Toe which you all might have played innumerable times. Here, we are playing with the black and white markers instead. Also, there is a bit change to the rules. The changed rules allows you to play just three times. After the three markers are put by each of the players, you can only slide your marker into an empty square that shares a common wall with the square that the marker is leaving.You can refer to the figure given. If this is the position of the game, the white's next move would be from 6 to 3. Now, whatever the black does, the white one will move his marker from 5 to 2 and he will have a three in a row.What you have to decide is if both of the players are using a perfect strategy, will the white player (who plays first) always win? Or it will be the black one who will win always? Or every game will be a draw?
Let us try and make the white win when black's first move is to a non-corner square. White begins at 5 and black places its first marker at 2. White puts at 9 and black puts at 1. White plays at 3. Now if black puts at 7 to block, white will move from 5 to 6 and will win. But in this game, black can only play his last marker at 6. White can't win on the next move as his market at square 9 won't be able to get to square 7 in a single move. But white cam get to square 7 before black can block him or win. White will move from 8 to 7 to win the game. Thus, white can always force a win if he starts from the center of the square.
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.
Each of these statements (which are true) refers to seven out of the eight living members of a family. You will find that the statement either refers to them by their personal name or through their relationship with another member. The statements are:
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.
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.

In a fruit store there was a unique weighing machine which was made to weigh only cherries and strawberries as they were priced the same.
Other fruits like water melons or mango had different machines as they were expensive.
A man successfully buys water melons at the price of cherries. How ?
The logic used by the machines, It differentiated the fruits with the help of colour. So the weighing scale that would weigh only cherries and strawberries only weighed what was red. So the man peeled it and then weighed the fruit. Since it is red inside the machine weighs it and marks it at the price of cherries.
