An hourglass.

Simple eh? The next one will be slightly more difficult, so brace yourselves. I think I’m going to use more difficult ones from here on out, just to make it interesting!

There is a 10-digit number, represented by ABCDEFGHIJ, where each numeral, 0 through 9, is used once. Given the following clues, what is the number?

1) A + D = a square number
2) G + J = a triangle number
3) B + I = an even number
4) E * F = an odd number
5) C * H = a prime number
6) A / G = G / C
7) E + I = B + H

Have fun!

The treasurer’s plan was to drink a weak poison prior to the meeting with the king, and then he would drink the pharmacist’s strong poison, which would neutralize the weak poison. As his own poison he would bring water, which will have no effect on him, but the pharmacist who would drink the water, and then his poison would surely die. When the pharmacist figured out this plan, he decided to bring water as well. So the treasurer who drank poison earlier, drank the pharmacist’s water, then his own water, and died of the poison he drank before. The pharmacist would drink only water, so nothing will happen to him. And because both of them brought the king water, he didn’t get a strong poison like he wanted.

Pretty sneaky! Here’s another one. Answers up on Thursday.

A sundial is a timepiece that has the fewest number of moving parts. Which timepiece has the most moving parts?

Ladies and gentlemen, have fun!

Wait until night time, and then go through the magnifying glass room.

Sneaky eh?

Here’s another problem that is intricate and interesting, hopefully more response from this one!

In a far away land, it was known that if you drank poison, the only way to save yourself is to drink a stronger poison, which neutralizes the weaker poison. The king that ruled the land wanted to make sure that he possessed the strongest poison in the kingdom, in order to ensure his survival, in any situation. So the king called the kingdom’s pharmacist and the kingdom’s treasurer, he gave each a week to make the strongest poison. Then, each would drink the other one’s poison, then his own, and the one that will survive, will be the one that had the stronger poison.

The pharmacist went straight to work, but the treasurer knew he had no chance, for the pharmacist was much more experienced in this field, so instead, he made up a plan to survive and make sure the pharmacist dies. On the last day the pharmacist suddenly realized that the treasurer would know he had no chance, so he must have a plan. After a little thought, the pharmacist realized what the treasurer’s plan must be, and he concocted a counter plan, to make sure he survives and the treasurer dies. When the time came, the king summoned both of them. They drank the poisons as planned, and the treasurer died, the pharmacist survived, and the king didn’t get what he wanted.

What exactly happened there?

Answers up by tomorrow! I’ll probably begin doing this every other day from here on out, so be sure to tune in for different brain teasers! Comment with your guesses, folks.

You are stuck in a room with two doors. One of the doors leads to a room made from magnifying glass, causing anything that enters the room to be incinerated by the sun. The other door leads to a fire-breathing dragon.

How will you get out?

Leave a comment with your answer! If I get enough response, I might make this a regular thing!
