Let us have a thread where we post logical puzzles!
The puzzles should have concrete answers with no nonsense solutions. Anyone can answer, but please put your answers and solutions in transparent text. To use transparent text, just "Change Color" to transparent when you post, so that the text will appear like this: cool huh? :D
I'll start. :)
There two pieces of rope, each of them burns completely in 1 minute exact. How do you measure 45 seconds by burning the ropes?
im not familiar with the transparent text. seems like it does not work with my device.
i dont have a logic problem but i know the answer to that question. Naging bonus question yan noong college ako. hehe
There are no spoiler tags here, so we'll just use transparent or invisible text. You can see transparent texts by highlighting them. :)
Again to post texts in transparent, just use the change color drop down when posting, use any color first, then type transparent in place of the color you chose and voila, your text will be invisible!
Edit: Seems like the transparent thing does not work will all browsers. Hindi pala gumagana sa IE. lol
yeah figured that out too. Seems like it also does not work well with Safari.
Anyway, the answer to that is
you burn both ends of the 1 rope and that will result in 30 secs, simultaneously burning the other rope but only on one side. After 30 secs (when the first rope is gone), burn the other end of the second rope, leaving you with 15 secs. Doing this in a "perfect" manner will achieve 45 secs.
hindi ko alam kung naalala ko ng tama pero seems tama naman at logical...
may isang tao nakatira sa building. Tuwing bumababa siya sa Ground, coming from the 15th floor. But tuwing umaakyat siya, sa 12th floor lang lagi bumababa. why is this so?
ito pa isa...
the day before yesterday, i was 18 years old. Next year, I will be 21. How is this possible?
my answer for the age question:
if date today is jan 01 xx1...
dec 30 xx0: age = 18
dec 31 xx0: age = 19; birthday (last year)
jan 01 xx1: age = 19; date today (this year)
dec 31 xx1: age = 20; birthday
dec 31 xx2: age = 21; birthday (next year)
else
you're not good with numbers XD
wala akong maisip na question... does anyone here remember the "nasaan yung piso" question? di ko maalala kung nasaan pero alam ko nasagot ko yun dati e XD

Parang kulang. I think I know this puzzle. I think this is clearer (correct me if I'm mistaken):
May isang tao nakatira sa 15th floor ng building. Tuwing umaalis sya ng bahay, nageelevator sya, at bumababa siya sa Ground. But tuwing uuwi sya sa bahay, nageelevator sya hanggang sa 12th floor, tapos stairs sya hanggang 15th. Why is this so?

Yes. Not really a good puzzle kasi medyo stupid. Marami syang versions. Eto one version (syempre sariling version ko na to):
You are the child of a quarreling mathematician dad and logician mom. One day mom tells you to go to the nearest store to buy suka, toyo and patis for 80 pesos. She gives you 40 pesos, and tells you to get the other half from your dad, which you do. At the store, you find out that the total cost is just 77 pesos. So you have sukli of 3 pesos. You returned 1 peso to your dad, and 1 peso to your mom, which in effect makes it seem your parents shelled out 39 pesos each. You still have one peso left. Then you calculate, 39 + 39 = 78, plus one peso left with you equals 79. Nasaan yung piso???
^ yan nga yun. nililito ka lang naman niyan. haha!
^^ tama para mas clear.
How about this easy one:
May mag-amang papunta ng Baguio. then what happened is nahulog sila sa bangin. the dad was dead pero yung anak was saved by the townpeople na nakakita sa kanila. tapos tinakbo yung anak to the nearest hospital. then pagdating nila doon, tinignan na sya ng doctor. sabi nung doctor: "Anak ko yan! Anak ko yan!"
Sino yung doctor?
HAHA. Super easy

kasi sa isang building walang 13th floor. out of curiosity, baba na siya ng 12th floor at bilbilang ng 2 floors up kung nasa 15th floor na nga siya hahaha ;D

Meron pa: Pero minsan kapag umuulan sa labas, elevator sya from Ground to 15th, di na sya bumababa pa muna sa 12th. :)

oo nga. pwede na siya diretso sa 15th floor!
re: building question
parang ang daming possiblities dito sa question na to... (although I think I already know the answer)
<spoiler>
hint (I think...): meron syang dala minsan...?
kung ganun nga, kung ako sya, lagi na lang akong magdadala nun kesa magpagod umakyat...
wala naman talaga. dont think too hard on it. clue dunyung umuulan.. nakaka abot siya ng 15th floor going up
unano sya at gingamit nya ung payong pag pindot sa elevator ;D
yeah
ito pa isa..
how can you throw a ball as hard as you can that , without anything on it, does not bounce, nobody throws it back, the ball will go back to you?

May tatlong mali sa kwentong to:
There's this guy na galing sa airport. may dala syang malaking maleta. Then he headed to the hotel where he was planning to stay. then pagdating niya doon, pinabantay niya sa isang bellboy yung maleta nya then umalis na yung guy. out of curiousity, binuksan nung bellboy ung maleta then may nakita syang babaeng kalansay! sa sobrang panic nya, hinanap niya yung guy sa buong hotel. nung hindi niya mahanap, umakyat sya sa rooftop then doon nakita nya ung guy nagbigti.
Ano yung tatlong mali sa kwento? :)

yeah, that's exactly my guess... but... hindi naman na mention yung lacement ng buttons sa elevator e... :-\
and parang masyadong random yung idea na vertically challenge yung tao na tinutukoy... just saying
^^^ yes just use gravity.. hehehe
^^ hmm 3 mali?
isa lang ata naisip ko, paano niya nalaman yuung gender kung kalansay na?

hmmm. unang mali, dapat sa airport pa lang alam na ang laman ng maleta niya so hinde na siya makakapunta sa hotel kasi naka-hold na siya. 2nd, paano niya nalaman na babae ung kalansay? 3rd, paano ka makakapagbigti sa rooftop? pede tumalon from the rooftop ;D
^ Pwede kasi lumusot sa airport. Probably if you have medical knowledge, you'll know babae yung kalansay. Baka may antenna or some fixture sa rooftop hehe.

i think may point si Pinoybrusko.
Logically naman there is nothing in the rooftop to hang on, unless you throw yourself off the roof with a rope tied to your neck... and with a full set of human bones, i dont think it will be able to pass airport security without anyone noticing...
so tama ba Vijay?
Here's a question for the resident mathematician, though baka alam na niya:
There's this game show where the host presents 3 closed boxes to a contestant. One of the boxes contains the prize of 1M pesos, while the other two boxes are empty.
The contestant chooses one of the boxes. Knowing the content of the boxes, the host opens one of the two other boxes to reveal that it is empty. The host then offers the contestant a chance to switch to the other unchosen box, or to remain with his choice.
Question: What is the better strategy for the contestant, to switch or not?
your probability to choose a correct box for each box is 33.33%. Then, the host opens an empty box, that makes your probability increased to 66.66%. I won't switch, I get the highest probability to win ;D
if you're one of the detective and you went into the crime scene, here is the scenario...
an empty room 4m in height from floor to ceiling
a dead body of man standard height hanged himself where a rope is tied on the ceiling
wet floor
no chairs no other items in the room
question: how did he hang himself? ;D
block of ice yung inapakan nya tapos pinasok nya yung ulo sa noose na nakahang sa ceiling.. tapos nung natunaw na yung ice ayun nabigti na sya.. ???
tama :D
another one:
detective detective pa din :D
scenario:
john and mary are inside the room both dead lying in the floor
broken window with a hole
baseball ball
wet floor
broken glass of aquarium
question: how they die or cause of death? ;D
^ they can't breath...? they are living in the aquarium...?

mali ba ung reasoning ko? hahaha
di ba binuksan na ng host iyong isa so ang probability naging 66.66% tapos mas malaki pa din sya kc dalawang box ang natira so 50% - 50% chance. mas mataas pa din ang 66.66% kesa sa 50% so i wont switch hehehe.

gagamitin kong tao ako,si sir brusko at si sir angelo
Yung Bagay na ginawa ko, hindi ko gagamitin. Binili sa akin si brusko yung Bagay na yun pero hindi niya din yun gagamitin. yung Bagay na yun binili ni brusko para kay angelo. pero si angelo hindi niya alam na nagamit niya na yung Bagay na un.

Time for another one.
There are 4 persons A, B, C, and D who went camping. It is dark and they come upon a rickety bridge. The bridge can only accommodate a maximum of two persons at a time. Unfortunately, they only brought one flashlight with them, and they will have to share it when crossing. A can cross the bridge in 1 minute, B in 2 minutes, C in 5 minutes, and D in 10 minutes. When two persons go at the same time, they will have to cross the bridge at the speed of the slower person.
What is the optimal time for all of them to cross the bridge?
17 minutes?
optimal would be 19 minutes? ???
ctan is correct :)
Eto this one drove me soooo crazy! :D
Si Nanay,nagpunta ng palengke. Namili sya ng baboy. nilagay niya yung baboy sa bayong. umuwi sya ng bahay. sinalubong siya nung anak. tapos yung anak kinuha yung bayong sa nanay niya.nabigatan yung anak. pag tingin niya, wala namang laman yung bayong. eh bakit mabigat? >:D
taba ng baboy yung laman ng bayong
kasi yung bayong made of steel hahaha ;D

please explain ^_^
si James din ako.
paki explain... kasi you may be just guessing (tatlo lang naman ang choices)
? ---> this explains
how exactly? 8)
it's like the letter "j"
as kevin sapcey's lex luthor said in superman returns... WRONG!
interesting theory though
clue: read the story carefully
pwede rin si MARK. kasi "?" is question MARK.
...
TAMA!!!
"? Villanueva"
"Question Mark Villanueva"
"tanungin si mark villanueva"

There's a thread in General Chat called TRUE or FALSE http://www.pinoyguyguide.com/forums/index.php?topic=1413.0 (http://www.pinoyguyguide.com/forums/index.php?topic=1413.0).
Think of a statement to post in TRUE or FALSE that will disrupt the answer of the next person who will reply in that thread, so that his answer will always be contradictory.
^ No one's attempting to answer my previous puzzle lol.
Anyway, here's one:
There are three boxes, containing boxers, briefs, and boxers + briefs. All of them are mislabeled, but you do not know which box is which.
How can you know the correct contents of all boxes by picking one of the boxes and grabbing just one of its contents, without peeking inside that box?

question about probability na naman. si fox makakasagot niyan :P
Hey carpediem, I wanna try your TRUE or FALSE puzzle. Hehehe. Since I was the thread starter of that topic, I'd venture a guess. Hahaha!
The next poster's statement is false.
And about the question on mislabeled boxes, I would first pick the box labeled as "Boxers + Briefs". Since it is MISLABELED, the 1st object that I would grab would have the label of that object. So if I 1st grabbed the boxers, then the label "Boxers" would be for that box. Then I would know that the one labeled as "Boxers" would contain the "Briefs" and the one labeled "Briefs" would contain the combination.
galing mo naman CTAN. clap! clap! ay wala pa palang confirmation from the carpediem kung tama
ako tinatamad mag-isip o wala lang talaga maisip ;D
tama si ctan, genius nga. i think fox would be able to answer those too. no sweat!
kayo naman magbigay ng puzzle, lagi nalang ako e. nauubusan na rin ako. :)

Hey carpediem, I wanna try your TRUE or FALSE puzzle. Hehehe. Since I was the thread starter of that topic, I'd venture a guess. Hahaha!
The next poster's statement is false.
yeah it messes it up but not really contradictory? good one ctan and carpediem.
what if the answer is "tralse"? ;)

23 tama ba?
22 ata hehe
mauubusan kasi ako fox hehehe :)
eto medyo madali lang:
There are 27 identical-looking coins, but one of them is counterfeit and is lighter (you just can't tell by holding the coins). You are provided a platform balance.
What is the best strategy to find the counterfeit coin? What is the least number of times you have to use the platform balance?
^ it's already on the first page ;D
uu nga noh. ina-antok yata ako kagabi ng mag skim ko for this question. cge, erase ko nlng. isip ako ng iba.
^27 coins:
divide them in factors of 3. 3 batches of factors 3. first 9 against 2nd 9 or 3rd 9. first 3 against 2nd & 3rd 3. then down to 3 coins. If you're lucky you'll get the right coin in 3 tries. :)
(pa-Up ng thread na ito.)
Sagutin in 1 minute. No cheating!
Answers are at the bottom.

Did you get it right? :D
^^ yung last two lang ang tama ko.haha:)
Nakuha ko 1 and 3.
Yung sagot ko for 2 is: 5 + 5 + 5 =/= 550 (Tama naman diba?)
^magkaparehas tayo ng sagot, carp. para sa akin, tama nalang din! pero mas interesting lang ang sagot niya.
di rin ako nakakuha sa 4.
^ Great minds think alike! :P
I got 1, 3 and 4. I miss Q2 :D
^ actually pilosopo yung mga tanong
pilosopo vs tricky ;D
"Einstein's Puzzle"
1. There are five houses.
2. The Englishman lives in the red house.
3. The Spaniard owns the dog.
4. Coffee is drunk in the green house.
5. The Ukrainian drinks tea.
6. The green house is immediately to the right of the ivory house.
7. The Old Gold smoker owns snails.
8. Kools are smoked in the yellow house.
9. Milk is drunk in the middle house.
10. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
11. The man who smokes Chesterfields lives in the house next to the man with the fox.
12. Kools are smoked in a house next to the house where the horse is kept.
13. The Lucky Strike smoker drinks orange juice.
14. The Japanese smokes Parliaments.
15. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
Now, who drinks water? Who owns the zebra? In the interest of clarity, it must be added that each of the five houses is painted a different color, and their inhabitants are of different national extractions, own different pets, drink different beverages and smoke different brands of American cigarettes. One other thing: in statement 6, right means your right.
regarding luc's questions:
1. tama
2. gamit ko yung =/=
3. tama
4. gumamit ako ng 3 lines to form a rectangle. i used the other line provided as the border line as the 4th line, kaya rectangle pa rin ang labas. hehe!

The captain of a ship was telling this interesting story: "We traveled the sea far and wide. At one time, two of my sailors were standing on opposite sides of the ship. One was looking west and the other one east. And at the same time, they could see each other clearly."
How can that be possible?

its because the man looking west is actually positioned on the east of the boat and the one looking in the east is actually positioned in the west of the boat thats why they see each other :D
tama ba?
;D
You're travelling to some village. At some point there is a fork in the road. You could go two ways but only one of them leads to the village. Lucky for you there are two men standing next to the fork. But unfortunately one of them always lies and one always speaks the truth and you do not know who is who. Since the men do not really like to help you, you are allowed to ask one of them only one question. Which question should you ask?
hmmm? ;D
^ the classic truth teller and liar riddle heheh

hihi
ngayun ko lang nabasa sa web

may isang tao nakatira sa building. Tuwing bumababa siya sa Ground, coming from the 15th floor. But tuwing umaakyat siya, sa 12th floor lang lagi bumababa. why is this so?
Parang kulang. I think I know this puzzle. I think this is clearer (correct me if I'm mistaken):
May isang tao nakatira sa 15th floor ng building. Tuwing umaalis sya ng bahay, nageelevator sya, at bumababa siya sa Ground. But tuwing uuwi sya sa bahay, nageelevator sya hanggang sa 12th floor, tapos stairs sya hanggang 15th. Why is this so?
pandak sir xD
