During lunch hour a group of boys from Mr. Bryant’s homeroom visited a nearby grocery store. One of the five took an apple.
Jim said, “It was Hank or Tom”. Hank said, “Neither Eddie nor I did it.” Tom said, “Both of you are lying.” Don said, “No, one of them is lying, the other is speaking the truth.” Eddie said, “No, Don, that is not true.” When Mr. Bryant was consulted, he said, “Three of these boys are always truthful but two will lie every time.”
Tom took the apple Jim was telling the truth Hank was telling the truth Tom was lying Don was lying Eddie was telling the truth (three telling the truth and two lying)
Last winter I found myself locked out of my house because I couldn’t remember the 5-digit code to open the garage door. I used the following facts to get inside.
1. The second and third digits add up to 9. 2. The first digit is equal to the second digit cubed. 3. The sum of the third and fifth digits is the smallest number with exactly five divisors. 4. The fourth digit is equal to 6 times the second-to-last digit. 5. None of the digits repeat.
If we label each digit a, b, c, d and e, we get the following equations. 1. b + c = 9 2. a = b3 3. c + e = 16 (since 16 is the smallest number with five divisors – 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16). 4. d = 6 * d (The fourth and second-to-last digits are the same number, meaning d must be zero to satisfy the equation) 5. b must be zero, one or two (b can’t be three because that makes a=27, which isn’t a single digit). Zero and one result in duplicate digits (00907 and 11808 respectively) so the only remaining value for b is 2, giving us 82709 and warmth.
