Which 6 coins did I have?

92.  A Date to Reckon With

The date 8.8.64, meaning August 8,1964 is a very interesting date, because the product of the first two numbers equals the third.

Can you find the year of the twentieth century which gives the maximum dates of this kind?

93.  Gold for All Occasions

Which is worth more, a bucket full of half a sovereign gold pieces or an identical bucket full of 1 sovereign gold pieces?

94.  The Ink-Spot

One day, Mammu set a very interesting problem to me. She pushed a large circular table we have at home, into the corner of the room, so that it touched both walls and spilled a spot of ink on the extreme edge, and she said, ‘Mummy here is a little puzzle for you. Look at that spot. It is exactly eight inches from one wall and nine inches from the other. Now tell me the diameter of the table without measuring it…….’

Can you?

96.  The Number Puzzle

There are two numbers with the difference of 3 between them and the difference of their squares is 51.

Can you find the numbers?

97.      A Problem of Coins

Can you place 10 coins in such a way that they lie in 5 straight lines and on each line there are 4 coins.

There are at least two solutions.

98.  The Squirrel and the Post

I saw a squirrel climbing up a cylindrical post spirally, making the circuit in four feet.

Supposing the top of the post is sixteen feet high and three feet in circumference, how many feet does it travel to the top?

99.   Hearts Apart

A man I know fell in love with a women who lived 63 miles away. Finally he decided to propose marriage to his beloved and invited her to travel towards his place and offered to meet her enroute and bring her home.

The man is able to cover 4 miles per hour to the woman’s miles per hour.

How far will each have traveled upon meeting?

100.   The Curfew

In most states in India the law for the sale of alcoholic beverages provides that beer cannot be sold after a certain hour. However, in some states the law permits a customer to consume, after the deadline, what has been sold before the curfew.

In a certain bar 2 men ordered sufficient beer to cover their probable requirements in anticipation of the curfew. One man ordered and paid for 5 bottles and the other man ordered and paid 3 bottles. But as the curfew started, an old friend of both the men approached of beer between them.

The friend thanked the two men and put down Rs.8 in payment for the beer he had consumed, asking them to share the money in proportion on the quantity of beer they have contributed to him.

How should this money be equitably divided between the two men?
