A Brain teaser !!
Hey guys you have one hour to solve this, the first to solve will be entitled to a dinner in a restaurant worth a hundred on the 4th of August, so here it goes:
A bird passed a tree and saw a group of birds so he told them hey guys all of and the same number you are plus half of that number and a quarter of it adding me will have the sum of a 100 bird!!!
So how many birds are in the first place on that tree.
Lets see I hope Rishi is online he will get it, and the prize is for real....
Sorry WK,
i am in very fast reading mode only.....office office office...tierd and need the weekend desprtly!
ny ways dont forget my parcel :-)
blood said we guys have one hour to answer... it means people who answered correctly within one hour should have prize.. :D
drmana, try it and if you get it right...all i can give you is...another one to crack ..:)
I was 2nd one to answer and I get nothing :-((
it does not have reward so i will not answer rishimba's sample..lol
ok, let me give a simple one..
in a room ( just an ordinary room with no doors or windows ) a lizard rests on the wall at the end of one solid-diagonal and watches an insect resting on the opposite end of the diagonal.
what will be the route of the lizard to get to the insect at the shortest time.
lol ok I will not answer anymore, post some new one :)
lol WoF, dinner it is and it is for 4th :)
Coffee was offered to gloomy
WK, yes it is a nice puzzle...but you should not have answered it...lol
WK if i have my glasses on , he wrote for a dinner treat-not coffeeee treat!
catch hold of him now...and send me parcel as well...

rishi take 1 ball from first box, 2 from second, 3 from third and so on till all 10 from the 10th box. You have 10(10+1)/2= 55 balls.
Measure the weight of the balls, it should be 55 X 10 =550 if all had balls weighing 10 grams but since one box has 9 gram balls, it will fall short of 550 by the number of balls you took from that box, if it's 549 it's the first box and so on :)
To be fair, I had done this earlier :)
ok blood... i'll just drink my 3-in-1 at home.
ok, now that the puzzle has been solved, i am writing another one..
- there are 10 identical boxes and each box contains 10 identical balls. each ball weighs 10 grams. BUT, in any one of the boxes, all the balls weigh 9 grams.
if you have not done this before, try locating the box with 9 gram balls just by ONE weighing. you can take out the balls from the boxes to weigh.
you still got it right, better late than never, but sorry you will not be eligible for the coffee treat I promised you. Maybe next time ;)
and i was late to respond again (damn this work!) the letter "G" is the answer. :p
G
for you anything, just give me the answer of that last one.
but at least you can still invite us all for the effort blood. a cup of coffee with blueberry cheesecake on the side will do. :p
what ends everything always?
Congratulations.........need more of these brain teaser!
The winner is the first one who answered, you could have waited for sometimes WK LOL
you are eligible for the dinner 100 QR on the 4th just PM me your tel No. (not the one you want to sell LOL)
36 is right..
its too easy to be 36, its a brain teaser. so the answer must be 99
by the way, you never state if the original birds were on the tree or not!!! he saw the birds, but were they on the tree???
if the answer is not 36, then it will bear decimals.
cherukkan, number of birds= x
same number as the birds are= x
half of that number= x/2
quarter of it(Since we are only talking about the number so far, it will refer to the number) = x/4
adding me, me=1 bird.
x+x+x/2+x/4+1=100
Solve it to get x=36 :)
36 is the answer.
x+x+(X/2)+(x/4)+1=100
=> x=36
Is it quarter of the original number, if so it is 36...if quarter of half of original number then the answer changes.
my answer is also 36.
As per the question 36 is a wrong answer
but if the question is posted correctly the answer is 36.
Could you clarify the quarter of which number. Your question is vague.
whyteknight is right, its 36. eventhough there is a missing word or words between '' all of'' and ''and'' that might change the result
10 min late but yes 36:-)
