Hard Math Riddle 5:
Two travellers spend from 12 o’clock to 6 o’clock walking along a level road, up a hill, and back again. Their pace is 4 mph on the level, 3 mph uphill, and 6 mph downhill. How far do they walk and at what time do they reach the top of the hill?
So, are you sweating?
Relax, here are the answers!
ANSWERS
Riddle 1 of Hard Math:
Three brothers are John, Lucifer, and Henry. Surprisingly, their current age is ideal. What’s more intriguing is that the age gap between them is equally significant. What are their ages?
ANSWER:
Lucifer is two years old, John is five, and Henry is seven. The age difference 7 – 2 = 5 is prime; the age difference 7 – 5 = 2 is prime; and the age difference 5 – 2 = 3 is prime.
Riddle 2 of Hard Math:
James has a total of ten coins worth $1.19. He cannot make exact changes for a dollar, half-dollar, quarter, dime, or nickel with these coins. What kind of coins does he have?
ANSWER
A quarter, a half-dollar, four dimes, and four pennies.
Riddle 3 of Hard Math:
There are 25 red balls and 47 green balls in the game. as well as three blue balls in a basket There is a man who is blind. What is the bare minimum of balls that the blind man must select to ensure that there are at least two balls of different colours?
ANSWER
48 balls. There’s a slim chance he’ll get 47 green balls in a row.
Riddle 4 of Hard Math:
Daniel has eight bricks. Seven of them are the same weight, and one is a little heavier. How can Daniel determine the heavier brick in two weighings using a balance scale?
ANSWER
First, he divides them into piles of three, three, and two bricks. Then he compares the weights of each groups of three. If they balance, he knows the brick is one of the two unweighed bricks, and he can weigh them to determine which is heavier. If the three-brick stacks do not balance, he will weigh two of the three bricks. If they balance, he’ll know the brick that wasn’t weighed is heavier, and if they don’t, he’ll find the heavier one.
Riddle 5 of Hard Math:
From 12 p.m. until 6 p.m., two travellers walk down a flat route, up a hill, and back. Their average speed is 4 mph on flat ground, 3 mph uphill, and 6 mph downhill. How far do they travel and when do they get at the top of the hill?
ANSWER
They hike four miles and arrive at the top of the hill at three o’clock.
So, is your self-esteem shaky? Did you get even one of them correct? We are not your math professor, and we will not take points from your grade. And, Lord, let us put an end to this antagonism and shake hands in friendship.
