At the entrance to a members club stands a stranger seeking
admission. A friend told him that it's easy to get in. You
just have to answer a question corrcetly! Answering wrong,
however, will result in being shot!
To live a little longer, the man waits in a back alley near
the entrance for people to go in. After a while a man comes
to the entrance. The door warden asks him: "Twelve?" to
which he replies "Six!" and goes in.
"That's easy." our friend thinks, but he waits a little longer.
Another man comes to the door. "Six?" the door warden asks,
to which he replies "Three!" and goes in.
"That's too good to be true" our friend thinks, and he was
right. Because, when asked "Four?", he answered "Two!" and
was found dead in the alley.

"Six" contains "Three" letters i.e. S, I, X
Similarly, "Four" contains "Four" letters i.e. F, O, U, R

Ali Baba had four sons, to whom he bequeathed his 39 camels, with the proviso that the legacy be divided in the following way : The oldest son was to receive one half the property, the next a quarter, the third an eighth and the youngest one tenth. The four brothers were at a loss as how to divide the inheritance among themselves without cutting up a camel, until a stranger appeared upon the scene. Dismounting from his camel, he asked if he might help, for he knew just what to do. The brothers gratefully accepted his offer. Adding his own camel to Ali Baba's 39, he divided the 40 as per the will. The oldest son received 20, the next 10, the third 5 and the youngest 4. One camel remained : this was his, which he mounted and rode away. Scratching their heads in amazement, they started calculating. The oldest thought : is not 20 greater than the half of 39? Someone must have received less than his proper share ! But each brother discovered that he had received more than his due. How is it possible?

On the shelf you have 10 identical bottles of identical pills (let?s say there?s a hundred pills in each bottle). However, one of those 10 bottles contains cheap knockoff pills. The only way to differentiate fake pills from real pills is the weight - while real pills weigh 1 g each, the knockoff pills are only 0.9 g. You have one scale that shows the exact weight (down to the mg) of whatever is weighed. How can you tell which bottle contains fake pills with just 1 weighing?
