thanq Mr Anderson.

ur answer is right.thats the answer.

but tell me the procedure u followed.such that I can trace out the same sort of problems .If I face in the exam

thanq once again

[MrAnderson]

(11 + 12 +13 )/2 = 18

11 + 12+ 13 will give the total no of mornings + afternoons
so half of tht wud be the no of days

Miss Deepika,

Do u think its good to have ur e-mail ID as a UserID??....It could result in SPAM and various other consequences. If u want to go ahead, Fine. Otherwise, PM the Mods, they might want to help you.

btw...Shankuntala Devi's puzzle book might help u a lot. Do break your head on each one of'em and if u r truly frustrated, then ask people the logic. Agreed, Infy ppl repeat the puzzles asked, but then u need to look at things in a bigger perspective.

thanq andy,

one more puzzle:

A cow was standing on a bridge, 5feet away from the middle of the bridge. suddenly a lightning express with 90 miles/hr was coming towards the bridge from nearest end of the cow.seeeing this the cow ran towards the express and managed to escape when the train is one feet away from the bridge. if it would have ran to opposite direction(ie away from train) it would have been hit the train one ft away from the end of the bridge. Calculate the length of bridge.

thanq

this is how i did it:


Total no of mornings and evenings:12+11=23

it rained on 13 days so they went out just once: hence 23-13=10

so they went out ten times and they could go out twice on a day...so 10/2=5 days

therefore 13+5=18 days...
