There is another correct answer to #5. It is possible to transfer 1/2 a barrel from a full barrel to an empty barrel. The barrel is cylindrical and symmetrical. If you pour such that when you finish, the barrel is tilted such that the surface of the oil remaining in the previously full barrel touches the top of the joining of the bottom and side of the barrel, and the bottom of the lip at the open top, the oil will occupy exactly half of the barrel and you will have transferred half the oil. When the pour is finished (while the barrel is still tilted), the surface of the oil will define the plane through the cylinder that defines an ellipse with the longest possible axis. After transfer of 1/2 barrel from a full to an empty barrel, the problem is easy.

@freddymintarja2186 Жыл бұрын

I didn't think about this logic when I solve the puzzle, but it is also a possible answer. Each sons will get 7 half barrels, 0 full, and 0 empty, so it's still equal. However, it does require more work for the merchant since they have to pour 7 full barrels into 7 empty barrels to make 14 half barrels, whereas combining 4 half barrels into 2 full barrels is so much easier

@aparatus4224 3 жыл бұрын

In the oil and barrel questions we do not need complications with oil distribution, because its also the barrels that need to be distributed evenly. There are a total if 21 barrels, thus everyone gets 7. So, the first two sons get each 3 full+3empty +1 half And the third son gets 1full+1 empty+5 halves

Which is preferable, compared to not having time at all. ➡ To your question, the vessel and the water were for making a kind of a water clock.

Yes, you can come up with 178/223 with the one piece of information, but you are stuck with having to make a choice between 177/224 and 179/222 which would be the adjacent pairings to 178. You need the added knowledge that an even number, like 2 always is the back side of 1, a lower number, so in this case 178 is the backside of 177.

Ok for the last one I just poured half of the 7 barrels into the 7 empty barrels so there were 21 half full barrels. Also works, right?

@sorsocksfake Жыл бұрын

Nope, you don't have measuring apparatus so you won't be able to halve them properly. The only measurable transfers are when you empty a barrel, or/and fill a barrel. Of these, any transfer from a full barrel just switches the barrels; any from an empty barrel does nothing. Half into full does nothing; half into empty switches. Only half into half changes it: from h+h to e+f. Doing this twice gives 9 full, 9 empty and 3 half-barrels, which can be divided in 3 sets.

In the absentminded philosopher problem... he leaves to walk to his friend's house exactly at sunrise. When he gets there, he uses his friend's internet to check the what time sunrise was that morning, the time of arrival, and the distance between their homes. Using these facts, he's able to calculate his walking speed. Checking the time before he sets out for home the next morning, he knows how long it will take to walk home and therefore what time it will be when he gets there.

@nobodyknows3180 2 жыл бұрын

The plot of n/n-1 throws a lot of people off. The difference between 0.99 and 0.98 is not a matter of 1 kg of water lost which is what many would intuitively guess, but a matter of 50 kg of water lost. 99% weight by water to start is 99/(99+1), but 98% weight by water is 49/(49+1), so you've gone from 99kg down to 49kg.

#4: Philosopher notes the time on his own clock without winding it. Philosopher notes time he arrives at friends house. Philosopher leaves friends house at the same time as his own clock had read. Philosophers gets home and winds and sets and his clock to what his friends had read when he had arrived.

@jarnamhar 2 жыл бұрын

This is incorrect. Let's say, P started from 10 am from his house and reached his friend's home where he finds the time to be 10 30am. P doesn't know how the clock at his home is, slow or fast with this information. Now he starts at 10pm from his friend's home. He finds the time at his place to be 10 40pm upon reaching. Do you think it is right to set to 10 30pm in his clock? We still don't know if the clock is slow or fast by doing this. What is right is that, we know the time and distance shall be equal from his place to his friend's, since his pace is contant. If we consider 30 minutes from his place to his friend's and find 40 mins from his friend's place to his, then the total time is 70 mins, dividing by two will give the actual time taken, 35 mins. That means, he has to set the clock to 10 35 at his place. If he finds it 10 20 pm at his place when he reached, then it is 30+20=50/2= 25, that means he has to set 10 25 in his clock. This way, P gets to know if he had a slow or fast clock and also sets the right time. It's pretty much the same method as mentioned here.

@sorsocksfake Жыл бұрын

Not sure if Jaham's explanation is correct (or unclear) but to check your plan: Let's say his clock says 0700 when he leaves. The actual time is 10:30. He arrives at 11:45 (1:15 travel time). he stays for the night and leaves at 0700 (arrives at 08:15), then sets the clock to 11:45. Obviously, incorrect solution. You can work with it if you do wind it up and halve the difference upon return - that'd get you 08:15. Returning at the set time is not necessary though: it's just the same principle. Probably easiest though is just to wind&set the clock to 00:00, walk over, observe the time (say 14:45) and walk straight back. Say the clock then says 04:28, he'll know his travel time (04:28/2=02:14) and can add it to the observed time.

Why transfer the oils from one barrel to other while it can be distributed equally ? It was asked to share equally. So considering first number as full barrels, second number as half full barrels and third number as empty barrels. First son would get 3, 1, 3. Second son would get 3, 1, 3. Third son would get 1, 5, 1. With this approach, every son would get 3.5 barrels of oil and 7 barrels without the concept of transferring from one barrel to other.

Better answer for #1: only ONE square fence needs to be added, not two, to be able to isolate 9 horses: the first diagonally placed fence shown at 1:08 in the video, but slightly larger, so that its four corners are outside the original fence, forming four isolation areas outside it. That keeps the same four isolation corners of the original fence, and forms a large center isolation area. Fence construction is not done when horses are loose. As each area is finished being built, put one horse in it.

1 I failed and will probably not remember the answer. 2-3 I got. 4 I didn't get, the Network Time Protocol uses the exact same logic (nice). Somehow I didn't remember it (thus I can't really reinvent NTP) 5: I got the start, but not the full problem. I did get that 3.5 barrels needed to go to each son, but _not_ how to equally distribute everything.

As the philosopher is absentminded, he forgot that his clock wasn't a wind-up, but an electronic one. So, by returning home, the clock kept showing the correct time. The riddle, in the way stated above, doens't exclude this possibility.

Question #4: a key part missing from this old riddle is that the man walks frequently to and from friend's house and knows for a fact that he always takes the same time to and from. That never happens with a very long walk, so the actual example is this video is wrong, since a walk of over an hour cannot be exact to the minute. Other than that, this video's version of this riddle is fine.

Riddle 5 best solution First we will give 2full ,2half full and 2 empty barrel to each son So total 6full 6 half full and 6 empty barrel will be given in total Then we have remaining 1full 1half full and 1 empty barrel so We will pour half of full barrel to the empty one and we will end up by having 3 half full barrel we will distribute them equally So each son will get 2 full ,3half full and 2 empty barrel

In the oil problem, you have a contradiction. You say you have no measuring devices, and you also say you have barrels. Barrels are measuring devices. You go on to assert that you can't pour half the oil from a full barrel to an empty barrel because you have no measuring devices... why couldn't you simply pour until the level of the oil is the same in both barrels?

@letao12 3 жыл бұрын

You have to assume "no measuring device" means it's impossible to determine any volume except "full" and "empty". It's just a rule given to you in a logic puzzle. Certainly there are ways to work around it but that's not solving the same puzzle anymore.

@applejuicefool69 3 жыл бұрын

@@letao12 Even if one accepts that particularly arbitrary rule, the barrels are still measuring devices. The whole point of the problem is to use them to ensure each brother gets an equal measure of oil.

@@applejuicefool69 As I said, "no measuring device" means no way to find specific volumes other than "full" and "empty". You're trying to read the rule hyper-literally and missing the point of the puzzle.

👍 Oh, but wait a minute... It means that you will have to split 1 full barrel in 2 halfs. Yes, you have 1 empty barrel, but as the problem sais: "you don't have any measuring device". 😕 But, wait a minute... You don't really need a measuring device to split in half, right? You transfer untill you get the same level in both barrels.
