yes, the first time you subtract 5 from 25, the answer is 20. the second time you subtract 5 from 25, the answer is also 20. and so on.

Ding.

How do you light an incense stick from both ends? That doesn't seem physically possible.

It's a hypothetical freaking question. Christ :roll:

Because they're not FDA approved.

Some of the "riddles" are getting stupid.

Penguins and Arctic natives live at opposite ends of the globe.

Buddhists don't pray to god...so this whole story is suspect.

3) There are 10 bags each containing 100 gold coins each. A genuine gold coin weighs 10gm each. A fake one weighs 9gm each. One bag contains all fake coins. Using an electroic weighing balance how do I check which bag has the fake coins if I am allowed to use the balance only once.

Don't reply if you have solved it before.

Take one coin from each bag and divide it in half.
Balance each half on the scale.
one side should be 1gm less.
Take one out from each side at a time, until it's balance.
The last one on the side that weight less is the fake coin/bag.

that is incorrect. If you see the reading of the weighing balance once then that means you have weighed it once. Try once more, this is one of the harder riddles.

You are going to accurately cut a coin in half?

No, what I meant is divide into 2, so each side of the balance will have 5 coins.

People you are invited to post riddles too.

 

[thirtythree]

I assume you mean electronic scale, not a balance. If so, remove a different number of coins from each bag and weigh the coins (or the bags after the coins are removed). You can determine which bag has the fake coins from the last digit of the weight.

EDIT: I take it back, I guess they can be called balances.
