18. Puzzle - Eating at Quonk • A group of friends: 2 women (Alice and Babs) and 2 men (Zach and Yabu) like to go out on dates to cool restaurants in pairs. There are four combinations they date in (Alice-Zach, Alice-Yabu, Babs-Zach and Babs-Yabu). The favourite restaurant of one of the men and one of the women is a place called Quonk. However if those two eat together they always try new restaurants as do the other pair if together. When Alice goes out with Zach they go to Quonk. Which, if any, of the other pairs eat at Quonk? • Alice and Yabu eat at Quonk • Babs and Zach eat at Quonk • Babs and Yabu eat at Quonk • None of the other pairs eat at Quonk •
19. Answer: Babs and Yabu also eat at Quonk! We know Alice and Zach eat together at Quonk. That means that EITHER the woman who likes to eat there is Alice OR the man who likes to eat there is Zach. It is not BOTH Alice and Zach who like to eat there as then they would have eaten somewhere else. This means that the woman and man in question is EITHER Alice and Yabu OR it is Babs and Zach. We cannot tell which though. Luckily, that does not matter, we have enough information. In both cases we get the same conclusion. If it is Alice and Yabu that like Quonk, then: Babs and Yabu would eat there because of Yabu. Alice and Yabu wouldn't because both are there. Babs and Zach wouldn't because neither Babs nor Zach eat there. If it is Babs and Zach that like Quonk then: Babs and Yabu would eat there because of Babs. Alice and Yabu wouldn't because neither Babs or Zach are there. Babs and Zach wouldn't because both are there. So whichever the pair is: Babs and Yabu would eat there. Alice and Yabu wouldn't eat there. Babs and Zach wouldn't eat there.
20. Puzzle - Coins on a table A table has 100 coins, 30 of them with Heads facing up. There is another table with no coins. With your eyes blindfolded, what will you do so that the number of coins with Heads facing up is equal on each table? You cannot determine if a coin is facing Heads or Tails by touching it. You are only allowed to flip coins or move them from one table to the other.
21. Answer: Move 30 coins to the other table and flip them Notice that moving any coin and flipping it decreases the difference in the number of heads by 1 If you move a head and flip it, you decrease the number of heads on the table with the coins by 1, but you do not increase the number of heads on the table without coins (because it becomes a tail) If you move a tail and flip it, you do not change the number of heads on the table with coins, but you increase the number of heads on the table without coins by 1 Therefore by moving 30 coins and flipping them, the tables will have the same number of heads
