Puzzles


Jes have a go at the following Qs to see how well u do. this is a self test ofcourse to see how active and allert your brain is or watver. your supposed to take about 7 mins to answer the 10 Qs. So read the Qs and get the answers before you see the answers that are in the comments :p

1) After a visit to the doctor, you are given 3 tablets and told to take one every half hour. how long does it take to complete the medication?

2)If you had only one match and entered a dark and cold room where there is:
a)an oil lamp
b)a kerosene lamp
c)some kindling wood
which object would you light first?

3)some months have 30days, some have 31. How many have 28 days?

4)A farmer had 17 sheep. All but nine died. How many did he have left?

5)How many of each species did Moses take aboard the Ark?

6)if you were in a running race and you overan the one who was at 2nd place which place will you be in now?

7)Mary's mother, Mrs Jones, had exactly four children. The eldest, a boy, she named North. The next eldest, a girl, she named South. The third child, a boy, she named East. The youngest child was another girl. What was her name?

8)If you take two apples from three apples what do you have?

9)A cowboy rode into Dodge City on friday. He stayed two days, then rode out of town on Friday. How come?

10)What number does 96 become when it is turned upside down?

And this is also a test to see which one of you can actually resist the temptation of seeing the answers other have commented on jes so that u'll be able to look better by correcting the ones which you had done wrong.

@naththu: i thought of that too. but then i thought even the first one was gonna get atleast 6 correct and the ppl who look at his comment will know for sure if the correct ones are correct which kinda gives that away. and these Qs are pretty easy if one is given time to think abt it. thats where the 8mins comes into play.

And the one hr thing, the Q says "told to take one EVERY half hour" and "how long does it take to COMPLETE the medication". that means u take one tablet and wait for half an hr, take the next tablet, wait for half an hr and take the final tablet which completes the medication. so its one hour. Medication always starts from the first tablet and ends with the last dho.
