| 1. Technically he could be 44 or 14, but since this question was first asked in 1930, we have to assume the man died before 1930 .. so correct answer is 44 ...
He died at the age of 64 in 1920
Posted by: Malakpet Rowdy At: 6, Oct 2007 3:55:50 AM IST Here are couple more for the weekend:
1. In 1930 this question was asked and a guy said it was impossible to answer it as there was insufficient information, but he was wrong!
~At the age of a man's death, his age was one twenty-ninth of his birth year. How old was the man in 1900?
2. Between 2 and 3 'o clock I mistook the minutes hand for the hour's and vice versa so the time was 55 minutes earlier than the actual time. What was the correct time and the one that was misread?
Posted by: చంటోడు At: 6, Oct 2007 3:32:20 AM IST Yep, looks like there is more than one solution then....I got
58-47 and
93-12 and there's another one with 3 digits together!
Posted by: చంటోడు At: 6, Oct 2007 3:26:50 AM IST How bout
73-9-5
and
82-4-1 ??
Posted by: Malakpet Rowdy At: 6, Oct 2007 3:18:22 AM IST Oh Gotcha now .. lemme try .. I think all we need is a slight modification to my prev solution!
Posted by: Malakpet Rowdy At: 6, Oct 2007 3:16:16 AM IST no, no flipping, but what can be done is combine the digits, e.g. you could use 19, 82 etc! :P
Posted by: చంటోడు At: 6, Oct 2007 3:03:17 AM IST can we flip 2 to make it 5?
Posted by: Malakpet Rowdy At: 6, Oct 2007 2:20:28 AM IST If we need to have two groups with exactly 4 numbers each then one of the sums is odd and another would be even and no way we can do it - unless we convert it to roman or something like that!
Posted by: Malakpet Rowdy At: 6, Oct 2007 2:19:11 AM IST Bingo! Malak and Alaka! (I just noticed these 2 names are just one-letter switching) :D
Answer to the puzzle: The ones before JASON are JFMAMJ (for the initials of the first 6 months) and D at the end for December.
--------------------
I checked on that 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9 puzzle and the rule is that both groups should have 4 digits in them! :P So, lets keep working on it too!
Posted by: చంటోడు At: 6, Oct 2007 0:33:53 AM IST J-july,A-august....N-Nov,so 6 mthss before JASON & 1 mth (Dec) after JASON
