A man in a restaurant asked a waiter for a juice glass, a dinner plate, water, a match, and a lemon wedge. The man poured enough water onto the plate to cover it. "If you can get the water on the plate into this glass without touching or moving this plate, I will give you $100," the man said. "You can use the match and lemon to do this." A few minutes later, the waiter walked away with $100 in his pocket. How did the waiter get the water into the glass?

First, the waiter stuck the match into the lemon wedge, so that it would stand straight. Then he lit the match, and put it in the middle of the plate with the lemon. Then, he placed the glass upside-down over the match. As the flame used up the oxygen in the glass, it created a small vacuum, which sucked in the water through the space between the glass and the plate. Thus, the waiter got the water into the glass without touching or moving the plate. You can try this experiment at home with appropriate supervision.

Riddle 1 You are on your way to visit your Grandma, who lives at the end of the valley. It's her birthday, and you want to give her the cakes you've made. Between your house and her house, you have to cross 7 bridges, and as it goes in the land of make believe, there is a troll under every bridge! Each troll, quite rightly, insists that you pay a troll toll. Before you can cross their bridge, you have to give them half of the cakes you are carrying, but as they are kind trolls, they each give you back a single cake. How many cakes do you have to leave home with to make sure that you arrive at Grandma's with exactly 2 cakes?

Answer 1 At each bridge you are required to give half of your cakes, and you receive one back. Which leaves you with 2 cakes after every bridge.

Riddle 2 We are brave sailors always riding the sea We are less than one hundred but as tough as can be We sleep in three bunkers on top of each other Our numbers double from one bunker to another We dance in joy all through the night In groups of fives under the moonlight Last night twelve of us were swallowed by waves Leaving alive more than two third of the braves Still we continue the journey refusing to fail So tell me how many of us are left to sail?

Answer 2 58 sailors are left. 1. From line 2: Total number of sailors is 36 (3 * 12). Summing up all the above given information, the total number of sailors is 36, it divides by 7 and 5, which adds up to the total number of 70 sailors. Since 12 of the 70 sailors died in the sea, there are 58 sailors left to continue the journey.

Riddle 3 Suppose you're in a hallway lined with 100 closed lockers. You begin by opening every locker. Then you close every second locker. Then you go to every third locker and open it (if it's closed) or close it (if it's open). Let's call this action toggling a locker. Continue toggling every nth locker on pass number n. After 100 passes, where you toggle only locker #100, how many lockers are open?

Answer 3 Answer: 10 lockers are left open: Lockers #1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, and 100. Each of these numbers are perfect squares. This problem is based on the factors of the locker number. Each locker is toggled by each factor; for example, locker #40 is toggled on pass number 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 40. That's eight toggles: open-closed-open-closed-open-closed-open-closed. The only way a locker could be left open is if it is toggled an odd number of times. The only numbers with an odd number of factors are the perfect squares. Thus, the perfect squares are left open. For example, locker #25 is toggled on pass number 1, 5, and 25 (three toggles): open-closed-open.

Riddle 4 A man wanted to get into his work building, but he had forgotten his code. However, he did remember five clues. These are what those clues were: The fifth number plus the third number equals fourteen. The fourth number is one more than the second number. The first number is one less than twice the second number. The second number plus the third number equals ten. The sum of all five numbers is 30. What were the five numbers and in what order?

Answer 4 7, 4, 6, 5, 8

Riddle The first is needed to make quotes you see, And it often sticks up when it's time for noon tea. The second's biggest distinction is found Bearing the symbol of love that is bound. The third should be biggest but that can depend, Never standing alone or it may offend. The fourth is oft used when making a selection Or if you should need a gun for protection. The fifth is the fattest and oddest by far, And can sometimes be found in a wrestling war. What are they?

Riddle Riddle Answer The digits of the hand! (The order on the poem is pinky, ring finger, middle finger, index or pointer finger, and thumb) The pinky hits the quotation mark key on the keyboard when typing, and people often raise their pinky off the cup when drinking tea. The ring finger bears a wedding band when married. The middle finger is an obscene gesture when standing alone. You point with the index finger to make a selection, or use it to pull the trigger on a gun. The thumb can be used for thumb wrestling.

Riddle 6 The mother is 21 years older than the child. 6 years from now, the mother will be 5 times as old as the child. Question : Where is the father?

Answer The mum is 21 years older than the child, so... M = C + 21 In 6 years from now the mum will be 5 times as old as the child. M + 6 = (C + 6) * 5 (C + 21)+ 6 = (C + 6) * 5 C + 27 = 5C = 4C C = -3/4 The child is -3/4 years old, i.e. it'll be born in 9 month's time. So, the father is probably nearby.

Riddle 7 There are 6 places set at each table for the big outdoor party. All the tables and chairs have 4 legs each, and altogether the tables and chairs have a total of 196 legs. If there is one place set for each person who will attend, how many people are expected to come to the big party?

Answer 42 people are expected to come to the big party. Each table has 6 chairs, so there are a total of 7*4=28 legs at each table. So, 196/28=7 tables. Therefore, 7*6=42 guests who are expected to come to the party.
