Each temple has a lever that you can pull. When you pull a lever, the number displayed on the temple&#39;s door changes according to the following rules:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Temple of Addition&lt;/b&gt;: The number increases by the number shown on the door of the next temple in clockwise order.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Temple of Subtraction&lt;/b&gt;: The number decreases by the number shown on the door of the next temple in clockwise order.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Temple of Multiplication&lt;/b&gt;: The number is multiplied by the number shown on the door of the next temple in clockwise order.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Temple of Division&lt;/b&gt;: The number is divided by the number shown on the door of the next temple in clockwise order (rounded down to the nearest whole number).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The doors of the temples currently show the following numbers:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Temple of Addition: 3&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Temple of Subtraction: 7&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Temple of Multiplication: 5&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Temple of Division: 4&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your goal is to get all four temples to show the same number. You can pull any lever as many times as you want in any order.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can you find a way to solve the puzzle?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fcff01;&quot;&gt;Solution:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here&#39;s one way to solve the puzzle:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pull the lever in the Temple of Division twice. This will change the number on its door to 4 / 2 = 2.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pull the lever in the Temple of Subtraction. This will change the number on its door to 7 - 2 = 5.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pull the lever in the Temple of Multiplication. This will change the number on its door to 5 * 5 = 25.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pull the lever in the Temple of Addition three times. This will change the number on its door to 3 + 25 + 25 + 25 = 78.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pull the lever in the Temple of Subtraction twice. This will change the number on its door to 78 - 5 = 73.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pull the lever in the Temple of Multiplication. This will change the number on its door to 73 * 4 = 292.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pull the lever in the Temple of Addition twice. This will change the number on its door to 292 + 292 = 584.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pull the lever in the Temple of Division. This will change the number on its door to 584 / 2 = 292.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, all four temples show the same number: 292!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There may be other solutions to this puzzle. Can you find any?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is just one example of a math puzzle that can be solved using logic and reasoning. There are many other types of math puzzles out there, so have fun exploring and see what you can come up with!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope you enjoyed this puzzle!&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://mindontest.blogspot.com/feeds/8590297855814356928/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://mindontest.blogspot.com/2021/07/four-temples-puzzle.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5487625299186085600/posts/default/8590297855814356928'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5487625299186085600/posts/default/8590297855814356928'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://mindontest.blogspot.com/2021/07/four-temples-puzzle.html' title='Four Temples Puzzle'/><author><name>Schmidt</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03868455323984499383</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis1pc-CNeKyZmZ9cYrb0N2R0HNjRybLZs1Lh73EkPRttqMtz-FwGrkyceJILhcK2TJELE9ahClV5IMrdn-vMhvCxwV4nXTCgIi1Gl2UVG0PYs0w474VwsMkhvjUECou-FLAPoRopVKRjWSQ54YQNND0U42g05P2yj-nCwGUHgPFJxGZO-h6iDMGWWM3ES3/s72-c/Your%20paragraph%20text.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5487625299186085600.post-2162272226639043985</id><published>2020-06-17T17:16:00.001+05:30</published><updated>2020-06-17T17:16:56.285+05:30</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="puzzle"/><title type='text'>Only 1% can solve this Pool Ball Puzzle</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
So let&#39;s see who is going to win English or maths&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Don&#39;t waste your time thinking about the title . The question is given below:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span id=&quot;goog_1837985303&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;goog_1837985304&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One rabbit saw six elephants while going to the river.&lt;br /&gt;
Every elephant saw two monkeys going towards the river.&lt;br /&gt;
Every monkey holds one parrot in their hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;How many “animals” are going towards the river ?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#39;s time for the jungle safari don&#39;t forget pack your bags but before that...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Are you able to solve the above riddle?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#073763&quot;&gt;Solution of Battle of English and Mathematics 👇&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #073763;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&quot;more&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #073763;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffd966;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Line&amp;nbsp; 1:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffd966;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&quot;One rabbit saw six elephants while going to the river.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Decoding ...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;



It clearly says rabbit is going towards the river &amp;amp; he saw 6 elephants&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;1&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffd966;&quot;&gt;Line 2:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&quot;Every elephant saw two monkeys going towards the river.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Decoding ...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Here &#39;s the tricky part it says every elephant&lt;i&gt;(total 6 elephants) &lt;/i&gt;saw two monkeys going towards the river i.e 6×2= 12 monkeys but here you&#39;re wrong here, as the question


&lt;script async=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ins class=&quot;adsbygoogle&quot; data-ad-client=&quot;ca-pub-2426071621978577&quot; data-ad-format=&quot;fluid&quot; data-ad-layout=&quot;in-article&quot; data-ad-slot=&quot;8908859600&quot; style=&quot;display: block; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;script&gt;
     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
&lt;/script&gt;



 didn&#39;t mentioned that they saw different monkeys , this means every elephant saw same 2 monkeys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; 1 + 2 =3&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #ffd966;&quot;&gt;Line 3:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&quot;Every monkey holds one parrot in their hands.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Decoding...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We know that monkey is going towards the river but&amp;nbsp; with parrot in his hands ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;


If u&#39;re thinking that parrot is a bird not an&amp;nbsp; animal then you must Google it because birds,reptiles,insects etc.are all animals&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;script async=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ins class=&quot;adsbygoogle&quot; data-ad-client=&quot;ca-pub-2426071621978577&quot; data-ad-format=&quot;fluid&quot; data-ad-layout=&quot;in-article&quot; data-ad-slot=&quot;8908859600&quot; style=&quot;display: block; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;script&gt;
     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
&lt;/script&gt;
So,&amp;nbsp; 2 monkeys with 2 parrots going towards the river.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; 1+2+2 = 5&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #134f5c;&quot;&gt;Ans : 5 ( 1 rabbit , 2 monkeys ,2 parrots)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #134f5c;&quot;&gt;The battle of English and Mathematics Answer is above👆&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #134f5c;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #134f5c;&quot;&gt;I hope you loved the riddle,stay tuned more interesting puzzles and riddles&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well I&#39;m damn sure what you&#39;re curious and perplexed&amp;nbsp; about the title,&quot;How many holes does a straw have?&quot;. I was also when I saw this problem..!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&#39;s&amp;nbsp;one of the&amp;nbsp; most debated question based on &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topology&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;topology&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; and posted on various platforms like &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/kevinknudson/2018/01/29/drinking-straws-how-many-holes/amp/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Forbes&lt;/a&gt; , &lt;a href=&quot;https://mindyourdecisions.com/blog/2018/02/19/how-many-holes-does-a-straw-have-the-correct-answer-explained-mathematically/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;mindyour decisions&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So tell me how many holes does a straw have....?&lt;br /&gt;
1. 0&lt;br /&gt;
2. 1&lt;br /&gt;
3. 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

If someone thought of this option then he might be thinking it&#39;s just one really long hole means length doesn&#39;t play any role.&lt;br /&gt;
Mathematically it&#39;s correct..&lt;br /&gt;

May be some are thinking in a unique way that is a hole is made on a surface but pipe ,straw etc. are just hollow cylinders ;until &amp;amp; unless you make a hole on their body ,there is no hole.&lt;br /&gt;

Look only &lt;a href=&quot;https://mindontest.blogspot.com/2019/12/four-colour-theorem-first-ever-theorem.html?&quot; target=&quot;&quot;&gt;4 colours&lt;/a&gt; are used...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;Real story :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;In 1852 while colouring&amp;nbsp; the map of England &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Guthrie&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Francis Guthrie&lt;/a&gt; noticed that only 4 colours were required to colour map so that no adjacent countries have same colour. He then asked this problem from his brother who was student at university of college ,London .Even his brother didn&#39;t know the answer so he presented this problem to his mathematics teacher De Morgan ;still no answer .....&lt;br /&gt;
thus resulted in the most debated question of the 19th&amp;nbsp; century.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;But 4 colour is enough to colour any map.???&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It took &lt;a href=&quot;https://mindontest.blogspot.com/2019/12/?m=1&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;150&lt;/a&gt; yrs to solve&amp;nbsp; this problem.&lt;br /&gt;
In 1976,this problem is solved by Hacken &amp;amp; Appel using a &lt;a href=&quot;https://mindontest.blogspot.com/2019/12/four-colour-theorem-first-ever-theorem.html?m=1&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;computer&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

  &lt;button onclick=&quot;fun()&quot;&gt;I don&#39;t know&lt;/button&gt;
 &lt;t&gt; &lt;p id=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
   &lt;br /&gt;
   &lt;br /&gt;
  
  &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;
     


function func()
{
  document.getElementById(&quot;1&quot;).innerHTML=&quot;👏 Well done&quot;;
}
 
function fun()
    {document.getElementById(&quot;1&quot;).innerHTML=&quot;Nice Try !! check the solution&quot;;}
&lt;/script&gt;
  

  
  
&lt;/t&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;t&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #134f5c;&quot;&gt;Sol&amp;nbsp; is given below&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/t&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;t&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  
  
  
  
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;Hint:&lt;/i&gt; Add the digits and observe the stairs sum while going downward&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adding the digit of numbers in the &lt;b&gt;same row&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Like &lt;b&gt;88 and 63&lt;/b&gt; are in the &lt;b&gt;same row&lt;/b&gt; and adding their digits gives below number in the &lt;b&gt;next&amp;nbsp; row &lt;/b&gt;which is 25.&lt;/t&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;t&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #fcff01;&quot;&gt;
8+8+6+3= &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #4c1130;&quot;&gt;25&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Similar pattern everyone learned in 4 th standard ( &lt;a href=&quot;https://matheasily.com/multiplication-pyramid.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Multiplication Pyramid&lt;/a&gt; )&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;
So this shows a pattern &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;script async=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;ins class=&quot;adsbygoogle&quot; data-ad-client=&quot;ca-pub-2426071621978577&quot; data-ad-format=&quot;fluid&quot; data-ad-layout=&quot;in-article&quot; data-ad-slot=&quot;8908859600&quot; style=&quot;display: block; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/ins&gt;
&lt;script&gt;
     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
&lt;/script&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #274e13;&quot;&gt;88&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; 63&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #274e13;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; \&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; /&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #274e13;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; 25&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly check for next rows&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;↠&amp;nbsp;25&amp;nbsp; and 9 gives 16&lt;/t&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;t&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; 2+5+9=16&lt;/t&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;t&gt;&lt;br /&gt;↠&amp;nbsp;16 and 25 gives 13&lt;/t&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;t&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; 1+6+2+4=13&lt;/t&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;t&gt;&lt;br /&gt;↠&amp;nbsp;13 and 49&amp;nbsp; gives our answer as 17&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/t&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;t&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;1+3+4+9=17&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;↠&amp;nbsp;1+7+1=9&amp;nbsp; .....end&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ans: 17&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;/t&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Well almost everyone loves coffee in their busy schedule so that we don&#39;t doze of while working as it&amp;nbsp; make us feel energised.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;i&gt;But before you fill a cup of &lt;a href=&quot;https://mindontest.blogspot.com/2019/08/which-cup-get-filled-first.html?m=0&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;coffee&lt;/a&gt; and take a sip....&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Try to solve the above problem&amp;nbsp; which stumped everyone on &lt;a href=&quot;https://mobile.twitter.com/_herbeautyxo/status/928756533370015749?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwgr%5E393535353b687465&amp;amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fd-16403713151698271207.ampproject.net%2F2004030010070%2Fframe.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;twitter&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;br /&gt;
Nearly 4000 users tried to solve it&amp;nbsp; and; maximum got wrong answers.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #45818e;&quot;&gt;Here are some of the answers by them&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #45818e;&quot;&gt;First 4 ,9 ,7 &amp;amp; then 5.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Are you thinking the same or you have &lt;a href=&quot;https://mindontest.blogspot.com/2019/07/a-viral-question-with-two-answers-huge.html?m=0&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;another answer&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Can you tell which cup will get filled first?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #073763;&quot;&gt;Sol. Below&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you observe the image carefully&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjurC47w-kHLTDiAGmN2GgdDWksBqkiH7dfC9IYshHMhrFJfHQK8QDkXi7-RW-s-HgU-drR3lSFdFhKW-cfbUyHerPUWzUnk3-aYGoq0ngAkSr_gqE0g_GHCNxw_vv_z-73rjIARwlybpon/s1600/PhotoEditor_20190810_125317438.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;320&quot; data-original-width=&quot;426&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjurC47w-kHLTDiAGmN2GgdDWksBqkiH7dfC9IYshHMhrFJfHQK8QDkXi7-RW-s-HgU-drR3lSFdFhKW-cfbUyHerPUWzUnk3-aYGoq0ngAkSr_gqE0g_GHCNxw_vv_z-73rjIARwlybpon/s320/PhotoEditor_20190810_125317438.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Pipes of 4,9 &amp;amp; 7 are blocked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So cup 5&amp;nbsp; will get filled first.&lt;br /&gt;




&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ans : 5&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now you are trained for another similar problem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Try to solve similar problem.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

Well while searching the internet for some interesting maths problems .&lt;br /&gt;
I&#39;m hoping that you can solve it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But while solving it you always get 0 ,then you are among the 99 % of people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;That is why this question is for geniuses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Can you solve it?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3d85c6;&quot;&gt;See sol. Below&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;100 - 100&lt;br /&gt;
---------------- = 2&lt;br /&gt;
100 - 100&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=&amp;gt; 10^2 - 10^2&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; -------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;10(10 - 10)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #990000;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;[ Here &#39;^&#39; means &#39;raise to the power&#39;]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As we know a^2 - b^2= (a + b)(a - b)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=&amp;gt; (10 + 10)(10 - 10)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; ------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;10( 10 - 10)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=&amp;gt; (10 + 10)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; ------------&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;10&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
=&amp;gt; 20&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; ----- = 2&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;10&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hence proved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;You are doctor examining a middle-aged man who complains of lower back pain.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;b&gt;You know that&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;25% of men in the age group of your patient suffer from lower back pain.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;b&gt;There are various causes of lower back pain; one of them is chronic inflammation of&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;the kidneys. This is not a very common disease: it affects only 4% of men in the age&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;group that you are considering. Among those who suffer from chronic inflammation of the&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;kidneys, 85% complain of lower back pain.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;What is the probability that your patient has chronic inflammation of the kidneys?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Here Bernard said that he&amp;nbsp; knows the bus number ,this line is not helpful ;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;but he also added that they don&#39;t know his age it is only possible if the sum is 17 &amp;amp; 19. As both these sum are repeating twice :&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Albert and Bernard just became friends with Cheryl, and they want to know when her birthday is. Cheryl gives them a list of 10 possible dates.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipLY38VRPgnSaxzcg0iq-3D94EaSFkKOml-H2XTysFGBZjPo18gblo-yBoARThfcNRJbC4fvdpnNlwekjv1wtDfmmgGAidz4t_m1qosxWgK5amCw-IVnAMbpi0-w5QHdapeoHS4VQbxeW7/s1600/13939230018283.png&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;947&quot; data-original-width=&quot;958&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipLY38VRPgnSaxzcg0iq-3D94EaSFkKOml-H2XTysFGBZjPo18gblo-yBoARThfcNRJbC4fvdpnNlwekjv1wtDfmmgGAidz4t_m1qosxWgK5amCw-IVnAMbpi0-w5QHdapeoHS4VQbxeW7/s320/13939230018283.png&quot; width=&quot;320&quot;&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;May 15, May 16, May 19&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;June 17, June 18&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;July 14, July 16&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;August 14, August 15, August 17&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Cheryl then tells Albert and Bernard separately the month and the day of her birthday respectively.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Albert: I don&#39;t know when Cheryl&#39;s birthday is, but I know that Bernard does not know too.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Bernard: At first I don&#39;t know when Cheryl&#39;s birthday is, but I know now.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Albert: Then I also know when Cheryl&#39;s birthday is.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;So when is Cheryl&#39;s birthday ?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
I saw Cheryl&#39;s birthday riddle problem on &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.google.com/amp/s/vulcanpost.com/242212/solution-cheryl-birthday-part-2/amp/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Vulcan post&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
This question went viral on whole social media in a matter of days.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
It started with a posting on &lt;a href=&quot;https://m.facebook.com/NTUsg/?refsrc=http%3A%2F%2Fd-36479993641929391105.ampproject.net%2F2004172112280%2Fframe.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;, by Kenneth Kong, a television host in Singapore.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/duncanmadden/2019/01/11/ranked-the-25-smartest-countries-in-the-world/amp/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Forbes&lt;/a&gt; reports that Singapore is the &lt;a href=&quot;https://edition-m.cnn.com/2015/10/05/asia/singapore-smartest-kids/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;smartest&lt;/a&gt; country in the world .&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
This question was asked in Singapore and Asian maths Olympiad.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
According to reports this &lt;a href=&quot;https://mindontest.blogspot.com/2019/07/a-problem-on-balancing.html?m=1&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;interesting&lt;/a&gt; question is for 5 th class.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
Can you solve this ?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #0b5394;&quot;&gt;Sol. Below&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;a name=&quot;more&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Line 1:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Albert: I don&#39;t know when Cheryl&#39;s birthday is, but I know that Bernard does not know too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
Well&amp;nbsp; Albert was given only month how come he know the date from 14,15,16,17,18,19.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
But if we assume that dates told to Bernard is 18 &amp;amp;amp; 19 then Bernard 100% knows the date &amp;amp;amp;month . As these dates were only once in the list - May 19 &amp;amp;amp; June 18.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;This is also &lt;a href=&quot;https://mindontest.blogspot.com/2019/07/the-unsolvable-china.html?m=1&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;not possible&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
As in the next line Albert confidently says Bernard does not know, that means he was told the months July &amp;amp;amp; August.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Line 2:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;
  
  
&lt;script async=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;ins class=&quot;adsbygoogle&quot; style=&quot;display:block; text-align:center;&quot; data-ad-layout=&quot;in-article&quot; data-ad-format=&quot;fluid&quot; data-ad-client=&quot;ca-pub-2426071621978577&quot; data-ad-slot=&quot;8908859600&quot;&gt;&lt;/ins&gt; &lt;script&gt;      (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); &lt;/script&gt;
  
  
  
  Bernard: At first I don&#39;t know when Cheryl&#39;s birthday is, but I know now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
If the date is 14 then Bernard can&#39;t know Cheryl&#39;s birthday the both months have 14 date i.e.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
July 14 &amp;amp;amp; August 14 .&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;14 date - [removed]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
If he knows full date then he must have been told 15,16,17 as these dates were occuring once in the list&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
August 15, August 17,July 16.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Line 3:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
  
  &lt;script async=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;ins class=&quot;adsbygoogle&quot; style=&quot;display:block; text-align:center;&quot; data-ad-layout=&quot;in-article&quot; data-ad-format=&quot;fluid&quot; data-ad-client=&quot;ca-pub-2426071621978577&quot; data-ad-slot=&quot;8908859600&quot;&gt;&lt;/ins&gt; &lt;script&gt;      (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); &lt;/script&gt;
  
  
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Albert:Then I also know when Cheryl&#39;s birthday is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
Here Albert said that he also knows the date , for him&amp;nbsp; to know from the list&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
August 15, August 17 ,July 16&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
He must have been told month July as if he was told August he would&amp;nbsp; have two possibilities: August 15 &amp;amp;amp; August 17.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ans: July 16&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Cheryl&#39;s birthday riddle answer 👆&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://mindontest.blogspot.com/2019/07/cheryls-age-albert-and-bernard-now-want.html?m=1&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;This time Cheryl ask her age ?.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
In our daily life we buy vegetables from markets .&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Suppose we want 1kg potatoes then how do we measure it.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Of&amp;nbsp; course from measuring weights. So a measuring Weight of 1 kg can easily balance my potatoes.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #274e13;&quot;&gt;But suppose we don&#39;t have weights still needs 1kg potatoes&amp;nbsp; to be measured we are given something&amp;nbsp; like the image above&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
This question is really interesting&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
As it&amp;nbsp; wants to test&amp;nbsp; that&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&#39;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;Are we better than a vegetable seller or he is the champion in weighing thing&#39;.??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
So...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Can you balance the two circles ?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
So the answer for image given above is&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
4 Hexagons.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ans : 4 hexagons&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;If you&#39;re able to do the above problem without solution&amp;nbsp; then you can easily buy 1kg potato &amp;amp; make a curry but if not stay hungry...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;This question was for &lt;a href=&quot;https://mindontest.blogspot.com/2019/07/singapore-birthday-problem-that-stumped.html?m=1&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;5th graders .&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;What really??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Obviously at this age a student can only •&lt;i&gt;think about doing addition&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;• simple logic - to drive a boat ,captain must be an adult i.e. at least 18 yrs&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
These were the answers given by students according to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-42857864&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
This question got viral ,stumped everyone &amp;amp; also termed as &quot;unsolvable&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Well sources said this &lt;a href=&quot;https://mindontest.blogspot.com/2019/07/a-problem-on-balancing.html?m=1&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;question&lt;/a&gt; is for critical awareness.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Can you do it??&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
The most sensible answer given was that&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
the weight of 26 sheep &amp;amp; 10 goat is &lt;span style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;7,700kg&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
In China driving a ship with cargo&amp;nbsp; more than 5000 kg ,one should possessed a boat license for 5 yrs.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
The min. age of getting boat license is 23 yrs&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;So for cargo of more than 5000 kg&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
One&#39;s age should be 28yrs.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ans : 28 yrs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&amp;amp; was easily able to do it in seconds .&lt;br /&gt;
Not only it got viral but also got popular&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;among maths PhDs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Can you answer it?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Note: only geniuses can solve&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sol below!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let take &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;R&lt;/span&gt; ,&lt;span style=&quot;color: #bf9000;&quot;&gt;Y&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;G&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; for red ,yellow,green balloons&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First equation&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;R&lt;/span&gt;+&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;R&lt;/span&gt;+&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;R&lt;/span&gt;=30&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;we have to find&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #134f5c;&quot;&gt;G&lt;/span&gt;+ &lt;span style=&quot;color: #bf9000;&quot;&gt;Y&lt;/span&gt; x &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;R&lt;/span&gt;=&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Putting all values of &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;R&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;span style=&quot;color: #bf9000;&quot;&gt;Y&lt;/span&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;G&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
we get&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1 + 2× 10 = 1+ 20= 21. ( &lt;b&gt;BODMAS&lt;/b&gt; applied)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Ans 21&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It&#39;s the question of Hong Kong elementary school for 1st graders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No&amp;nbsp; 1st class student will expect a question like this in their exam .&lt;br /&gt;
Many of them don&#39;t even know 1- 100 counting ,even finding the odd one out is difficult for them. Then who will do it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;At a conference 12 members shook hands with each other before &amp;amp; after the meeting.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;How many total no of handshakes&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;occured?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;_________&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In meetings&amp;nbsp; ,handshakes is just greetings &amp;amp; parting tradition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well imagine !&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If there is a maths professor among them.&lt;br /&gt;
Who humorously asked the above question in front of everyone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&#39;Everyone&#39;s eye will be one you&#39;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What will you do?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h4 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Can you solve it?&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #e69138;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Don&#39;t worry&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See the solution below&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Let&#39;s take there are 5 members&lt;br /&gt;
A,B,C,D &amp;amp; E.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A shakes hands with B,C,D,E.&lt;br /&gt;
B shakes hands with C,D,E. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;[A-B already shaken hands]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
C shakes hands with D,E&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt; [ C has already shaken hands with A&amp;amp; B]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  
  
  &lt;script async=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;ins class=&quot;adsbygoogle&quot; data-ad-client=&quot;ca-pub-2426071621978577&quot; data-ad-format=&quot;fluid&quot; data-ad-layout=&quot;in-article&quot; data-ad-slot=&quot;8908859600&quot; style=&quot;display: block; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/ins&gt;
&lt;script&gt;
     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
&lt;/script&gt;
  
D shakes hands with E&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt; [ D has already shaken hands with A,B &amp;amp; C]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For E, &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;he has&amp;nbsp; already shaken hands with everyone.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So total no .&amp;nbsp; of&amp;nbsp; handshakes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4+ 3 + 2 + 1+ 0 =&amp;nbsp; 10&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
  
  
  &lt;script async=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;ins class=&quot;adsbygoogle&quot; data-ad-client=&quot;ca-pub-2426071621978577&quot; data-ad-format=&quot;fluid&quot; data-ad-layout=&quot;in-article&quot; data-ad-slot=&quot;8908859600&quot; style=&quot;display: block; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/ins&gt;
&lt;script&gt;
     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
&lt;/script&gt;
  
No.&amp;nbsp; of handshakes between 12 members&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #38761d;&quot;&gt;11+ 10+ 9+ 8+ 7+6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1=66&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;But according to question they shaken hands both before &amp;amp; after meeting&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So 2×66= 132&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;6&quot;&gt;ANS: 132&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;But what if&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #741b47;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;there are n members&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.???&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just use combination formula given below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;script async=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;ins class=&quot;adsbygoogle&quot; data-ad-client=&quot;ca-pub-2426071621978577&quot; data-ad-format=&quot;fluid&quot; data-ad-layout=&quot;in-article&quot; data-ad-slot=&quot;8908859600&quot; style=&quot;display: block; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/ins&gt;
&lt;script&gt;
     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
&lt;/script&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;6&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;Formula:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;6&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: #e1bee7;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #351c75; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;nC2 = n(n-1)/2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Easy simple formula to solve handshake problem 👆&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
