Angelina has 25 gold coins. One on those coins is lighter, while the rest of the coins have the same weight. If Angelina has a balance, how would Angelina determine which coin is the lighter one with 3 weightings?

Divide the coins into 3 group consisting of 9 coins, 9 coins, and 7 coins. On the first weighing, weigh the 2 groups of nine coins. If they have the same weight, then the counterfeit is in the group with 7 coins. If one of the groups of 9's weighs less, then the counterfeit is on that group.

On the second weighing, divide the group where Angelina knows the counterfeit coin is into 3 subgroups, where the first two subgroups would have 3 coins each. Weigh these first two subgroups. If they have the same weight then the counterfeit is on the third subgroup. If one of them weighs less, the counterfeit is on the subgroup that weighs less.

Since the subgroup that contains the counterfeit has at most 3 coins. Weighing two of these coins will allow Angelina to know which coin is the counterfeit.

Mrs. Blair has four children, there names are Andy, Grant, Mark, and Crag.

Facts:

Two years ago, Andy was twice the age of Mark.

Four years ago, Grant was twice the age of Mark.

Two years from now, Andy would be twice the age of Crag.

Three years ago, Mark was twice the age of Crag. Mrs. Blair's current age is the sum of all her children's current age. Now find all five people Age?

Carefully read this age situation every year by year.......

2 years ahead: Andy’s age 14, Grant’s age 12, Mark’s age 9 and Crag’s age 7

1 year ahead: Andy’s age 13, Grant’s age 11, Mark’s age 8 and Crag’s age 6

NOW: Andy’s age 12, Grant’s age 10, Mark’s age 8 and Crag’s age 5

Last year: Andy’s age 11, Grant’s age 9, Mark’s age 7 and Crag’s age 4

2 years Ago: Andy’s age 10, Grant’s age 8, Mark’s age 6 and Crag’s age 3

Water tank has three inlet pipes and one outlet pipe. One inlet pipe A takes 2 hours to fill the tank. Another inlet pipe B takes 3 hours to fill the tank. The third inlet pipe C takes 4 hours to fill the tank. The outlet pipe D empties the whole tank in 12 hours. If the tank is initially empty, how long would it take to fill the tank if all the inlets and outlet pipes are fully in operation?

1 Hour to fill the Water Tank but How to???.....Let's Calculate

The rates for the pipes are as under:

Pipe A = 1/2 tank per hour
Pipe B = 1/3 tank per hour
Pipe C = 1/4 tank per hour
Outlet Pipe D = -1/12 tank per hour

1 full tank = rate x time
1 = (1/2+1/3+1/4-1/12) time
time = 1 hour

Therefore, Water Tank completely fill after 1 hour.
