Following a request for more at the end of the last logic puzzles thread here are some even more diabolical ones.
I'll be VERY impressed if anyone gets all of these!

Mwoa ha ha haaaaaaa.

Enjoy

1.
Three people check into a hotel, sharing a room. They pay £30 to the manager and go to their room. The manager suddenly remembers that the room rate is £25 and gives £5 to the bellboy to return to the people. On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that £5 would be difficult to share among three people so he pockets £2 and gives £1 to each person. Now each person paid £10 and got back £1. So they paid £9 each, totalling £27. The bellboy has £2, totalling £29. Where is the missing £1?

2.
Which word, if pronounced right, is wrong, but if pronounced wrong is right?

3.
What comes next in this sequence:

While on the island of Dellzup, you have been captured by the Evil Prince. He has decided to play a game with you. He offers you the choice of two doors, behind one of which lies a hungry lion and behind the other lies treasures beyond your wildest dreams. Guarding one of the doors is a native who always lies and guarding the other door is a native who always tells the truth. Unfortunately, you cannot tell which is which. You may ask one of the natives for help in choosing the door. They both know which door they are guarding, so what single question could you ask?

5.
Punctuate this sentance and provide context so that is grammatically correct:-

Kevin while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher.

6.
Add a single straight line to make this equation true - the equals sign remains untouched.
5 + 5 + 5 = 550

James recently moved to his first brand new house. When he arrived there he discovered that the builder had forgotten something. James popped down to the local DIY shop to enquire about the prices. Luckily the items are quite cheap at the shop. 7 cost £1.00, 10 cost £2.00 and 100 cost £3.00. What had the builder forgotten and how much will 210 cost?

8.
How many legs does an elephant have if you call its trunk a leg?

Anyone?

Quick reply, Q2, wrong is the word as it is right (& right is wrong).
Now need the team!
Thanks

Q3.

Could it be nogatco ?

Nikki

 

dear robert, q/1, the bellboys 2 pound is part of the 27 pound that the customers paid, so ya don't add it again to the 27 pound, the other 3 pound is with the customers, yours truly, the racist from down under

 

if you've enjoyed a 'children's' movie (two of my favourites would have to be "the prince's bride" and david bowie in "the labyrinth") then you would know the answer to question 4/, mark c

 

ENJOY????? MISSED LUNCH, AM LATE FOR THE NEXT UNFORTUNATE,
i cannot get any further than
Kevin, while John had had 'had' had had had had hadhad , had had a better effect on the teacher
OR
Kevin, while John had had 'had had' had had had had had , had had a better effect on the teacher

the yanks are going to bed, its the rest of the world's chance to establish dominance COME ON !!!!!!!! that is, if it's ok with wikipedia contributors

 

boss, i was only joking about being late for the next pt, actually am exceeding my quota with all the extras this morning, "god bless the english .... and all A.C.T. gov't health executives!"

 

yes ....... yes question 7 the builder forgot to put up the number on the house and each number costs 1 pound, so the number 210 would cost 3 pound also ........that's it, no more, have to do some work, markus

 

Question 4. You could ask one gaurd what the other gaurd would say is the door with the treasure then open the other door..... that should do it??

 

Shane, you got Q2 and very well done to nikki for Q3, (thought that one would take you longer). Markjon, i'm a little worried about you, you scary and obsessive man. You got Q1 and Q7 right unfortunatly

are neither valid sentances. :rolleyes: you're obviously not trying hard enough.

Congratulations Steve and welcome to the forum. You got that one right. :cool:

Thats just questions 5 6 and 8 left. And as the daylight travels around the globe...

I'm very impressed so far!

Robert

 

Question 8.

A leg is a leg as a trunk is a trunk.

The elephant has 4 legs, whatever you say about his trunk


jair

 

Question 6.

I guess a + could become a 4?

545 + 5 = 550


I think I'm on a roll, except... had had had had had had no idea



jair

 

nice one JB. Dead right on both. Markjon was on the right track with the hads, just did'nt quite make it.

I need some harder ones, you're all to clever by half!

Robert

 

Q4 "Which one would the other native choose?" And whatever answer you get you take the other one - which has to be right!
