Tricky tasks
  1. There were three rabbits in the pet store. Three girls came and each asked for a rabbit. You can’t help it, I had to sell every visitor a rabbit. There was only one rabbit left in the cage. How did that happen?
  2. In the context of the second task, it is said that Mary's father has five daughters: Chacha, Chichi, Cheche and Chocho. I need to know the name of my older daughter.



  3. Who has the ability to lift not only a horse, but an elephant? Can you guess this man's profession? Where did he get such superpowers?
  4. Next, we propose a more complex problem. It is known that a woman went to the supermarket, where she bought 35 apples, folding the fruit in two baskets. She noticed that if you move from the right basket to the left basket as much as in the left was originally, then the right one will still have 3 more apples. How many apples were in each basket?



  5. There was a queue at the bike shop. Buy two-wheeled transport want Olya, Dasha, Vova, Anton and Pasha. It is known that Olya stands before Dasha, but Anton stands before them. We also know that Vova and Anton are not standing next to each other, and Pasha is not standing next to either Anton, or Olya, or Vova. In what order are these five in line?





Answers to challenges
  1. In fact, the answer here is very simple - one of the girls received a rabbit with a cage.
  2. An attentive reader will immediately notice that the fifth daughter of this man is called Mary. Although, I must confess, it is rather strange to call the eldest daughter Mary, and the four younger Chacha, Chichi, Cheche and Chocho.
  3. Anyone who has played chess knows that there are elephants and horses on the chessboard. Therefore, any chess player skillfully wields these pieces in each game.



  4. At once we understand that initially apples in the left basket was much less than in the right. If you double the number of apples in the left basket, then the right one will still have 3 more apples. And so (35-3) ÷ 2 = 32 ÷ 2 = 16 apples became in the left basket. At that time, the basket was originally 16 ÷ 2 = 8 apples. The right basket originally had 35 – 8 = 27 apples.
  5. Although all the buyers are standing behind each other in the queue, you still have to think about it to understand their order. If Pasha is not standing next to either Anton, or Olya, or Vova, then he is standing next to Dasha only. And in this case, Pasha stands either at the very end or at the very beginning. And since Olya is already standing in front of Dasha, Pasha is standing after Dasha, and he is the last in line. Then Pasha is fifth and Dasha is fourth. Anton and Vova are not standing next to each other. This means that one of them is the first and the third. Then Olya is between them - she is the second. We know from the conditions that Anton is ahead of Oli. Therefore, Anton the first, Olya the second, Vova the third, Dasha the fourth, and Pasha the fifth.
