Tips and Solutions to Mysteries

1. It's actually simple. Peter gave gifts to three women: his beloved wife, no less beloved mother-in-law, and his own daughter. And since Peter’s wife is both a mother and a daughter, the situation described in the conditions of the problem turned out.
   
   
   
   
2. From the first example, we can calculate that 120 ÷ 3 = 40 is hiding behind the Christmas tree. Then two stars hide (100 – 40) ÷ 2 = 60 ÷ 2 = 30. So one star is 30 ÷ 2 = 15. Let’s look at the third example. Behind the three stars is 3 × 15 = 45. Then behind the red package with a gift hides 105 - 40 - 45 = 20. The last example is 15 + 20 = 35.
   
   
3. Solving this problem with a trick is easier than it might seem. Just look at the hands of all three characters. You see a man wearing a ring on his ring finger? And among the two women, only one has a similar ring - the one dressed in an orange dress. She's the wife of this wretch.
