wash2u: LIST - that is the clue. "and" is not a family member
is the sister a nun ??
curly28: 1.. 1 was a race horse 2.. 2 was 1..2.. 1.. 1.. 1.. 1 race and 2 ..2.. 1.. 1.. 2 Did you get it?
Yep, One was a race horse and Two was one too, (a racehorse). One won one race and won one too.
So you have an extra 2 in there>

silverblaze: Ok..since no one answered, I will say the answer for the bullet question..
Take 1 bullet from first machine, two bullets from second, three from third and so on until you take 10 bullets from tenth machine. Just weigh it once. If all were perfect you will get 550 grams.
But if the first machine was faulty making 11 g bullets, you will get 551 and if it makes 9g bullets, you will get 549
If it is the second machine, you will get 552 or 548
If it is third machine, you will get 553 or 547
and so on
You just need to weigh once and you know your faulty machine.
Clear?
By the way, I like this thread the most. Something to ignite your logical part of your brain..thank u daggyone for starting it..
So lets move on to the next question..

That's brilliant!
You are on an island and there are three crates of fruit that have washed up in front of you. One crate contains only apples. One crate contains only oranges. The other crate contains both apples and oranges.
Each crate is labeled. One reads "apples", one reads "oranges", and one reads "apples and oranges". You know that NONE of the crates have been labeled correctly - they are all wrong.
If you can only take out and look at just one of the pieces of fruit from just one of the crates, how can you label ALL of the crates correctly?

Try this
one one is a race horse
two two is one too
one one won one race
two two won one too
Off to the looney bin

Take the crate labelled "Apples and Oranges", we kinow it is labelled wrongly so it must have just one kind of fruit in it. Take one out: if it is an orange, put the "Oranges" label on it, if it is an apple, put the "Apples" label on it. You now have one box without a label and one untouched box. Take the label from the untouched box and put it on the blank box, then take the "Apples and Oranges" label from your first box and put it on the last box. All done.

Ah now it's making sense! That probably means I'm crazy.

Correct!! But wasn't it a little easy question? Common, its your turn for the question now..

Four words add up to a fifth word numerically:
mars
venus
uranus
saturn
-------- +
neptune
Each letter represents a digit 0-9.
Hint: The digits 1 and 6 appear most frequently

oops! Spent about an hour and half to solve it.
Thanks Obscuritan for the clue..else it would have took me a long time..
There may be easy ways to do it, but this is how I did it. Used the trial and error method only at few steps.
Counting the digits, it is like this
M
AAA
RRR
SSSS
V
EEE
NNNNN
UUUUU
TT
P
So either N= 1 or 6
And U=6 or 1
MARS MARS
VE16S VE61S
6RA16S or 1RA61S
SAT6R1 SAT1R6
---------- --------
1EPT61E 6EPT16E
Even if you consider the largest number for each digit 9 for all (even if that is not the case), the total won’t go beyond 2,109,996. Since we have 6 as the leftmost digit in the second option, we now know, N=1 and U=6
Also, we know Sis not equal to 0. If it was the case, adding the first four digit should have given N instead of E (0+0+0+1=1)
Now, the second column from the right has 6+R+R+6. That is 12+2R. No matter what the digit R, the total will be an even number. Also, the reminder from the first column can either be 1 or 2 only. If it is 2, we will not get 1 as the answer for addition of second column. The only option is 1. If that is the case S can have only 3 or 4 as its values (1 = N & U=6. 2 won’t give the reminder 1. 7,8 & 9 will give the reminder 2. If it is 5, then E has to be 6, but we know that is not the case as U =6)
In this scenario, E can have only two values, E=0 or 3

Getting bored..
Will tell the answer
M=5
A=5
R=9
S=3
V=2
E=0
N=1
U=6
T=8
P=7
Well that's very impressive. I have been trying to do it with simultaneous equations, but I can only get about 6 equations with 12 variables (including the carryovers) So i got pretty thoroughly bogged down with that.
Congrats

But you have two 5's and no 4??

You are on the bank of a river. You have to get a fox, a hen, and corn cob to the other side of the river. If left alone, the fox will eat the hen and the hen will also eat the corn if left alone. The boat is only big enough to take you and one of the other three to the other side at a time.
How do you get all 3 across without one being eaten in your absence?
