The day before yesterday Pete was seventeen years old, and next year he will be twenty. Is that possible?

Answers.
  1. For convenience, we designate each spouse with the initial letter of his name. Now let's start thinking logically. Vasily can not be the husband of Ira, as older than her only 1 year. But he can't be Natalia's husband either. Explain why. Given that together they are 48 years old, we have B + H = 48, but B - H = 5. Hence B = 26.5 and H = 21.5. But it's forbidden by condition. So Vasily is married to the rest of Anna. Semyon cannot be Natalia's husband for the same reason (C + H = 52). Therefore, he is the husband of Irina, and Peter is Natalia.

    It remains to be seen how old someone is. The total age of all men and women is 151. So we write: (B + P + C) + (H + I + A) = 151. At the same time (B + P + C) - (H + And + A) = 15. From this we get that the sum of years of women is 65, and men - 83.

    Back to Semyon. C = H - 52, but at the same time C = And + 5. From here we get Y + H = 47. And we already know that I + H + A = 68. So Anna is 21 years old (68-47 = 21). It's no longer difficult. Vasily is 26, Natalia is 22, Irina is 25, Peter is 27, and Semyon is 30. In total, as in the condition of the task, this is 151 years.

Tips to the mysteries of the Cork costs 50 cents, and a bottle of 10 rubles and 50 cents. It's just that in this restaurant, looking out the window, he didn't see the Eiffel Tower. So, the hostess puts 4 cutlets on the pan (this is 5 minutes). Then two flips, and two removes and puts two new (another 5 minutes). Removes two ready-made, two flips and puts two undercooked (another 5 minutes). Chocolate costs 10 rubles. But the thing is, Sasha has no money at all. The numismatist immediately realized that the coins were fake. On the present can never be indicated date "... years BC", as the master simply could not know that lives before our era. The situation seems incredible, but it is possible. For example, Petya pronounces the phrase on January 1, and was born on December 31. Therefore, on December 30, he was 17, the 31st turned 18, the next year will be 19, and the next 20.

Here are some curious puzzles about ingenuity and ingenuity. The answer to them is difficult to calculate on the go and especially remember. After all, to solve it, we have to think creatively and analytically, using both hemispheres of the brain, which in everyday life we do not often.
