This thread is for those who want to truly test how far and fast they can think and resolve logical questions without any ojoro angry angry angry assistance !!!!

First Question :

Given three jerrycans: 8, 5 and 3 liters capacity, divide 8 liters in half (4 + 4 liters) with the minimum number of water transfers.
Note that the 8-liter jerrycan is initially filled with 8 liters of water and the other two jerrycans are empty

(*** That is all water you have *** The jerrycans have no liter markings ***)

Lets see how good you are cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy Your answers should be well explained and defined. No ojoro angry angry angry

Start by filling up the 3 liter can, then pour the 3 liter can into the 5 liter can. So after first round of transfers, we are left with 5/8, 3/5 and 0/3 liters of water.
Next, you should fill up the 3 from the 8 liter can whic would leave you with 2/8, 3/5 and 3/3 liters.
Then fill up the five liter can from the 3 liter can and empty the 5 liter can into the 8 liter can. You would now be left with 7/8, 0/5 and 1/3 liters in the cans.
Now pour the 1/3 into the 0/5 and fill up the 3 liter can from the 7/8 can, then empty the 3 liter into the 1/5 can to get 4/5 and 4/8.

Assassin is a popular game in many federal universities. The game consists of several players trying to eliminate the others by means of shooting them with water pistols in order to be the last survivor. Once hit, the player is out of the game. Game play is fair play at all times and all locations, and tends to last several days depending on the number of participants and their skillfulness. At Federal University of Technology, Yola (now MAUTECH), 5 students participated in a game that only lasted four days.

Question: Can you determine each player's first name, their color, their assassin nickname, how they were eliminated, and their course of study?

Names: Aisha, Adenike, Patricia, James, Emeka
Colors: Red, Green, Blue, Purple, Black
Nicknames: Captain Jaja, Night pincher, Dark wolf, McSwag, OgbeniSharp
Mode of Capture: Caught at weekly tutorial, Caught helping friend with okada-man trouble, Ambushed during sleep, Caught on the way to class, Winner
Course of study: Economics, Biology, Engineering, Fisheries, Architecture


MONDAY: Aisha, the girl named Captain Jaja, and the person in purple avoided any action that day. The Architecture student was able to easily catch Emeka because she already had a tutorial with him that day. Since it was a weekly engagement, he didn't suspect a thing. Sai gobe tongue red player.

TUESDAY: Everyone tried to get in on the action today. The girl parading herself as the Dark wolf (who was wearing either black or red) and the Fisheries student lived to see another day. The purple player was able to catch the obliging yet naive green player by calling her and pretending he had a problem with an okada-man because of no change shocked shocked.

WEDNESDAY: The biology student (who was still "alive"wink was surprised to hear that the Architecture student, who wasn't Adenike the Engineering student, ambushed Night pincher as she slept in her room off-campus cry cry.

THURSDAY: The black player was declared the winner after luckily spotting "OgbeniSharp" on his way to MA-311, a class required by his course angry angry.
Re: Brain Puzzles, Riddles & Teasers by Hiroshize(m): 1:12pm On Aug 27, 2014
Hint:All names are conventional for their gender. MA-311 is a course that biology students would take.

Five Ojuelegba (Lagos) agberos shocked shocked are trying to split up 1000 gold bars cheesy cheesy in an EbolaMustGo shocked shocked bag they in a bus from Okokomiako.

Agbero #1 : Bola
Agbero #2 : Chukz
Agbero #3 : Zico
Agbero #3 : Musa
Agbero #4 : Damo


The rules are as follows:

Bola (Agbero #1) must divide the gold bars up in such a way that a majority of the agberos (including himself) agree to. If he does not get a majority vote, he will be killed.

Chukz (Agbero #2) will get to propose a solution to the remaining 3 agberos, and the same rules will follow. This continues until someone comes up with a plan that earns a majority vote.


Question: What is the most amount of gold bars that Bola can keep to himself, and what would his proposal be?

Note: The agberos are very greedy, very ruthless (the more dead agberos the better), and very cunning.
