We number the pirate from 1 to 5 (5 is the captain and the
senior level is going down to 1). We will solve problem
from bottom to top.
Let's start the game from 2 pirates => the captain will
take all because he will vote for himself, it means 50% go
"Aye". For sure, the second pirates don't want this
situation because he get nothing. He won't let this
situation happen and he have to choice something when the
team have 3 members.
If the team includes 3, the captain can't get all like
previous situation because he will be killed. He will get
99 coins and the rest for pirate number 1. Number 1 have to
go "Aye" because he don't want the previous case happen.
2/3 accept so the loot will be divided. The number 2 pirate
don't want this case because he get nothing.
If the team include 4, just solve as previous and the
number 4 pirate will take 99 coins, 1 coin for number 2,
number 1 and number 3 get nothing. Number 2 will accept
because he doesn't want the previous case happen. Number 1
and number 3 don't accept but it's not a problem because
number 4 and 2 are accept.
Now come back to our main problem (5 pirates), number 5
need to have at less 3 votes if he doesn't want to die.
Same solution as previous case, Number 5 just get 98 coins,
1 for number 1, 1 for number 3. Number 2 and number 4 get
nothing.
=> Ans: The captain get 98 coins, number 1 and number 3:
each get 1 coin, number 2 and 4 get nothing.

@Jagdeep: I start the game from 2 pirate - that means
pirates in senior level 5,4,3 are dead. It's my supposion
to start the game from an esier game :) If following this
supposion, certainly the captain (the number 2 in senior
level rank) will take all because he vote for himself -
that means 50%. Note in the question: "If the captain fails
to obtain support of at least half his crew (which includes
himself)"

You have 8 coins. 3 of them weigh x units, 3 y units, 1 a units and 1 b units. They are all mixed and look identical. You have to find the lightest coin in minimum number of weighing (balance)

Eleven boys and girls wait to take their seats in the same row in a movie theater. There are exactly 11 seats in the row. They decided that after the first person sits down, the next person has to sit next to the first. The third sits next to one of the first two and so on until all eleven are seated. In other words, no person can take a seat that separates him/her from at least one other person. How many different ways can this be accomplished? Note that the first person can choose any of the 11 seats.

3 boys go to the restaurant. Their bill was 75 rs.. So they contributed 25 each. Manager then gives 5 rs back to the waiter and then waiter gave 3 rs back to them and put 2 rs into his pocket.. So their actual contribution is 24 because they got 1-1 rs back. so 24*3=72 and 2 rs into the waiter's pocket. so 74+2=74 where is 1 rs?

Substitute digits for the letters to make the following subtraction problem true. S A N T A - C L A U S ----------------- X M A S Note that the leftmost letter can't be zero in any word. Also, there must be a one-to-one mapping between digits and letters. e.g. if you substitute 3 for the letter M, no other letter can be 3 and all other M in the puzzle must be 3.
