There is a perfect sphere of diameter 40 cms. resting up
against a perfectly straight wall and a perfectly straight
floor i.e. the wall and the floor make a perfect right angle.
Can a perfect sphere of diameter 7 cms. pass through the
space between the big sphere, the wall and the floor?

Answer / raj kiran
consider 2-d fig for simplicity.. i.e two lines at right
angles and a circle with its circumference touching the
lines(walls).. now the line joining the center of the circle
n the point of contact of the circle wit the walls forms a
square of side 40 cm..
now join the center of the circle n the meeting point of the
wall, this forms the diagonal of the square..
by right angle theorem, we get the diagonal as,
(40*1.414)=56.56..
so the remaining space left ( corner of the wall to the
circumference of th circle) is 16.6cm...
through which a 7cm ball can pass through..

Answer / munna
The answer is yes.
Consider a 2-D diagram,
given that the diameter of the sphere is 40 cms.
so radius = 20 cms.
c0nsider the points that touch the floor and the wall and
the center of the sphere and the intersection of the floor
and wall.This forms a square of length of side 20 cms.
so,
the distance left for any sphere of unknown diameter to
pass through be x.
x=sqrt(800)-20=8.284... cms.
so a sphere of radius 7 cms passes.

For the sake of simplicity, consider two-dimension i.e view
sphere as a two dimensional circle with diameter 40 cms.
From Figure I, (40 cms diameter sphere)
OC2 = OD2 + CD2
OC2 = 202 + 202
OC = 28.28427 cms
Also, X is the closest point to origin O on the sphere.
CX = 20 cms (radius)
OX = OC - CX
OX = 28.28427 - 20
OX = 8.28427 cms
From Figure II, (7 cms diameter sphere)
OP2 = OQ2 + PQ2
OP2 = (3.5)2 + (3.5)2
OP = 4.94974 cms
Also, Y is the farthest point to origin O on the sphere.
PY = 3.5 cms (radius)
OY = OP + PY
OY = 4.94974 + 3.5
OY = 8.44974 cms
Now, as OY > OX i.e. smaller sphere requires more space than
the space available. Hence, smaller sphere of 7 cms diameter
can not pass through the space between the big sphere, the
wall and the floor.
The puzzle can be solved by another method.
Draw a line tangent to the big sphere at the point X such
that X is the closest point to the origin O on sphere. The
tanget will cut X and Y axes at A and B respectively such
that OA=OB. [See Fig III] From above, OX=8.28427 cms.
From the right angle triangle OAB, we can deduct that
OA = OB = 11.71572 cms
AB = 16.56854 cms
Now, the diameter of the inscribed circle of right angle
triangle is given by d = a + b - c where a <= b < c
The maximum possible diameter of the circle which can pass
through the space between the big sphere, the wall and the
floor is
= OA + OB - AB
= 11.71572 + 11.71572 - 16.56854
= 6.86291 cms
Hence, the sphere with 7 cms diameter can not pass through
the space between the big sphere, the wall and the floor.

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?

Three men, including Gianni and three woman, including Sachi are in line at the BrentWood post office. Each has two different pieces of business to conduct. 1. The first person is a woman. 2. Carlos wants to send an overnight package. 3. Lau is just ahead of Pimentelli who is the same sex as Lau. 4. Gianni is two places ahead of the person who wants to buy stamps. 5. Knutson - who is the opposite sex than Rendler - isn't the person who wanted to complain about a mail carrier. 6. The six people, not necessarily in the same order are - Anthony, Donna, the person who wants to fill out a change-of-address form, the one who wants to buy a money order, the one who wants to send Airmail to Tibet and the second person in the line. 7. The four tasks of the last two people in line, not necessarily in the same order are - sending books fourth class, buying a money order, picking up a package and complaining about a mail carrier. 8. The person who wants to send books fourth class is just behind a person of the same sex. 9. Mary is just behind a person who wants to send an insured package. 10. The person who wants to send Airmail to Tibet is either two places ahead of or two places behind the one who wants to add postage to his or her meter. 11. Anthony isn't two places behind the who wants to pickup a registered letter. 12. Toriseza is two places ahead of the person who wants to pick up a package. 13. Knutson isn't just ahead of the person who wants to send an item parcel post. Can you figure out where each customer is in the line, his or her full name (one surname is Loti) and the two things he or she wants to accomplish?
