The great emperor Akbar once ruled India. He was well known for his intelligence. But along with that, he was known for the Nine Gems in his court. One of the nine gems was Birbal, a quick witted and extremely intelligent man. The stories of his wit were widely popular.

Once a king ruling in a distant land heard of Birbal. To check his wit, he sent an invitation and called him to visit his land. Akbar allowed Birbal to go and he took off on the journey.

Upon reaching that kings kingdom, he was welcomed with flowers. He was then escorted to the palace of the king. Upon entering the palace, Birbal found that there were six people sitting in front of him adorning the same robe. They were also lookalike and it was hard to judge who the real king was.

#1566 - Distribution Maths Problem

Three friends decide to distribute the soda cans they had among them. When all of them had drunk four cans each, the total number of cans that remained were equal to the cans each one of them had after they had divided the cans.

Can you calculate the total number of cans before distribution ?

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.

#1570 - Decode Word Language Puzzle

In a coded language:
a) "Cosey Miso Ro" means "We are Goblins";
b) "Tichu KoPi Miso Pa" means "they are Evil People";
c) "Juha Liho KoPi " means "Who is Evil";
d) "Ro Miso Pi KoPi" means "the Goblins are Evil".

Can you find out what word means "The" in this coded language ?

"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".
