If the statement he made was false, he would be boiled in water. If the statement were true, he would be fried in oil. George found neither of this options too his liking, so he made a statement that got him out of this seemingly impossible situation.
What is the one statement he could have made?

What is the one statement he could have made?
Answer: George said: "You will boil me in water."
The fairies were faced with a dilemma. If they boil him in water, that would make his statement true, which means he should have been fried in oil. They can only fry him in oil if he makes a true statement, but if they do, it would make his final statement false. The fairies had no way our of their situation so they were forced to set George free.

Question: You are given a set of scales and 12 marbles. The scales are of the old balance variety. That is, a small dish hangs from each end of a rod that is balanced in the middle. The device enables you to conclude either that the contents of the dishes weigh the same or that the dish that falls lower has heavier contents than the other.
The 12 marbles appear to be identical. In fact, 11 of them are identical, and one is of a different weight. Your task is to identify the unusual marble and discard it. You are allowed to use the scales three times if you wish, but no more.
Note that the unusual marble may be heavier or lighter than the others. You are asked to both identify it and determine whether it is heavy or light

Answer: Most people seem to think that the thing to do is weigh six coins against six coins, but if you think about it, this would yield you no information concerning the whereabouts of the only different coin. As we already know that one side will be heavier than the other.
So that the following plan can be followed, let us number the coins from 1 to 12. For the first weighing let us put on the left pan coins 1,2,3,4 and on the right pan coins 5,6,7,8.
There are two possibilities. Either they balance, or they don't. If they balance, then the different coin is in the group 9,10,11,12. So for our second weighing we would put 1,2 in the left pan and 9,10 on the right. If these balance then the different coin is either 11 or 12.
Weigh coin 1 against 11. If they balance, the different coin is number 12. If they do not balance, then 11 is the different coin.
If 1,2 vs 9,10 do not balance, then the different coin is either 9 or 10. Again, weigh 1 against 9. If they balance, the different coin is number 10, otherwise it is number 9.
That was the easy part.
What if the first weighing 1,2,3,4 vs 5,6,7,8 does not balance? Then any one of these coins could be the different coin. Now, in order to proceed, we must keep track of which side is heavy for each of the following weighings.
Suppose that 5,6,7,8 is the heavy side. We now weigh 1,5,6 against 2,7,8. If they balance, then the different coin is either 3 or 4. Weigh 4 against 9, a known good coin. If they balance then the different coin is 3, otherwise it is 4.
Now, if 1,5,6 vs 2,7,8 does not balance, and 2,7,8 is the heavy side, then either 7 or 8 is a different, heavy coin, or 1 is a different, light coin.
For the third weighing, weigh 7 against 8. Whichever side is heavy is the different coin. If they balance, then 1 is the different coin. Should the weighing of 1,5, 6 vs 2,7,8 show 1,5,6 to be the heavy side, then either 5 or 6 is a different heavy coin or 2 is a light different coin. Weigh 5 against 6. The heavier one is the different coin. If they balance, then 2 is a different light coin.

Question: One day a man was asked to safely transport a wolf, a cow, and hay from destination 1 to destination 2. Unfortunately, in order to get from destination 1 to 2, he had to cross a bridge. The catch was that he can only move them one at a time, and prevent one from eating the other. For example the wolf must not eat the cow, and the cow must not eat the hay.
FYI: They will not each other as long as the man is present. How can he do it?
FYI: They will not each other as long as the man is present. How can he do it?
Answer: Move the cow first. Leave the cow in destination 2. Go back to destination 1, grab the hay and take to destination 2. Drop off the hay at destination 2, but travel back to destination 1 with the cow. Leave the cow at destination 1, and move the wolf at destination 2 and leave with the hay. Go back to destination 1, and move the cow to destination 2. Now all three have been moved to destination 2 without one eating the other.

Question: 9 are we when taking all 3
Last one slain 6 remain
First less 5 none survive
What is the three digit numerical code?
Last one slain 6 remain
First less 5 none survive
What is the three digit numerical code?
Answer: 513
When you add 5+1+3= you get 9
When you drop the last Number you get 5+1=6
When you subtract 5 from the first number you get 5-5=0 0 is equal to nothing.
