Answer / prince
Sam is 41 and Mala is 38.
Let's invert the teaser and read it like this :
? Sam says I am certainly over 40
? Mala says I am not 38 and you are atmost 5 years
older
than me
? Now Sam says you are atmost 39
From first statement it is clear that Sam is over 40. Also,
from next 2 statements it is clear that Mala is less then
39. Hence the possibilities are :
Sam = 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, ......
Mala = 38,37, 36, 35, 34, 33, ......
It also says that the difference between their age is
maximum 5 years. Hence, there is only one possible pair i.e.
41 and 38, all other combination have differences more then
4.
Hence the answer - Sam is 41 and Mala is 38.

100 Gold Coins Five pirates have obtained 100 gold coins and have to divide up the loot. The pirates are all extremely intelligent, treacherous and selfish (especially the captain). The captain always proposes a distribution of the loot. All pirates vote on the proposal, and if half the crew or more go "Aye", the loot is divided as proposed, as no pirate would be willing to take on the captain without superior force on their side. If the captain fails to obtain support of at least half his crew (which includes himself), he faces a mutiny, and all pirates will turn against him and make him walk the plank. The pirates start over again with the next senior pirate as captain. What is the maximum number of coins the captain can keep without risking his life?
