Friday teaser

It’s been a cold gloomy Friday, and I can feel my brain freezes over, clanking away mechanically at work. It’s been raining all day long, and at places not far away from here, people are being made homeless and trapped because of the floods. It’s a depressing thought!

So let’s get that brain of yours working a bit, and try to solve this puzzles and questions below.

  1. There are four seats in a row at a concert. Philip will sit next to Sally, but not next to Gerald. If Gerald will not sit next to John, who is sitting next to John?

  2. How many minutes is it before six o’clock if fifty minutes ago it was four times as many minutes past three o’clock?

  3. How many odd pages are there in a book 479 pages long?

  4. A soldier has been captured by the enemy. He has been so braved that they offer to let him choose how he wants to be killed. They tell him, “If you tell a lie, you will be shot, and if you tell the truth, you will be hanged.” He can make only one statement. He makes the statement and goes free. What did he say?

  5. How many months have twenty-eight days?

See how many can you answer correctly. Answers will be posted up next week.
