OKAY BELOW ARE THE ANSWERS TO THE 5 GAMES OF LOGIC.... :-)
Game 1
Two bars of iron lie on a table. They look identical, but one of them is magnetized (with a pole at each end) , and the other is not.
How can you discover which bar is magnetized if you are only allowed to shift them on the table, wihout raising them and without the help of any other objuect or instrument?
THE ANSWER: TAKE EITHER BAR AND PUSH ONE END AGAINST THE MIDDLE OF THE OTHER BAR, FORMING A T. IF THE MAGNETIZED BAR IS THE TOP OF THE T, THERE IS NO PULL ON THE OTHER BAR.
Game 2
These words follow a logical progression:
SPHINX
LISTEN
TALION
Which of these could be next?
AUREOLE
SPROUT
IODINE
PROTON
ANSWER: IODINE: six-letter words with one, two, three, four vowels.
Game 3
If LEAH is LOUIS's sister,
if CLARISSE is LOUIS's sister,
if MAUD is CHRISTOPHER's sister,
then who is HAMILTON's sister----
IRENE , CLAIRE, SUE or PEGGY?
ANSWER: SUE: THE NAMES OF EACH PAIR CONTAIN EACH OF THE FIVE VOWELS ONCE.
Game 4
Find a common English three-letter word, knowing that:
LEG has no common letter with it.
ERG has one common letter, not at the correct place.
SIR has one common letter, at the correct place.
SIC has one common letter, not at the correct place.
AIL has one common letter, not at the correct place.
So what is the correct three-lettered word?
ANSWER: SINCE THE WORD CONTAINS NO E OR G (AS IN LEG), THE ONLY GOOD LETTER IN ERG IR R. THEN THE GOOD LETTER IF SIR IS R, WHICH IS THE THIRD LETTER OF THE DESIRED WORD. I AND L ARE NOT IN THE DESIRED WROD, SO THE GOOD LETTER OF AIL IS A. THE A IS NOT THE FIRST LETTER OF THE DESIRED WORD, SO IT MUST BE THE SECOND. THE GOOD LETTER OF SIC IS C, WHICH MUST BEGIN THE DESIRED WORD: CAR
Game 5
You have been playing "heads or tails" and you discover that your opponent is cheating. He chooses heads most of the time, for his coin had two heads.
Knowing this, you bet enough to win your money back in one more toss of his. You don't want to take the risk of demonstrating that he is a cheater. So what do you do to win?
ANSWER: BET ON TAILS. AS THE COIN FALLS ON THE TABLE, SLAP YOUR HAND FLAT ON IT, SAYING, "i'D RATHER SEE WHAT'S UNDERNEATH SO I'LL KNOW WHAT DIDN'T COME UP." YOU TURN THE COIN OVER, EXPOSING HEADS AND WINNING. BUT BE CAREFUL. YOUR OPPONENT IS LIKELY TO HAVE TWO COINS, A CROOKED ONE FOR PLAY AN A NORMAL ONE FOR INSPECTION. IF HE SUSPECTS ANYTHING, HE MAY SWITCH THEM.
