Well..Puys, I'm sorry for the delaying posting ans key.

please find the Answer key for the Q.No: 17th.

1-b, 2-d, 3-a, 4-c 5-d
The table of the winners is as follows:
Race1

E

Race2

B

F

D

Race3

C

E/G

G/E

Race4

Question.No: 18th : It's a Jungle Out There.

There is a plot of land that is 16 square acres, arranged in a 4 X 4 grid. There are 16 mammals, two each of the following: beaver, cat, dog, goat, horse, lion, tiger, and walrus. There is one mammal in each acre. The acres are labeled A through P, as shown below.

A B C D
E F G H
I J K L
M N O P

Clues:
1) A and D do not contain the same mammal, but one of them has a dog.
2) E and O do not contain the same mammal, but one of them has a horse.
3) B and L contain the same mammal, but not a tiger.
4) C and M contain the same mammal, but not a beaver.
5) F, K, N, and P are four different mammals.
6) The tigers are in different columns.
7) The goats are located in two of the following locations: B, C, K, and O.
The lions are located in two of the following locations: A, E, F, and M.
9) Cats don't get along with dogs, so neither cat is next to a dog.
10) Tigers have goats on their menu, so each tiger must be next to at least one goat and each goat must be next to at least one tiger.
11) The beavers and walruses live on the same body of water, so all four must be connected together in some fashion.

Given the above clues, determine where each mammal is located. The terms "next to" and "connected together" mean vertically, horizontally, or diagonally

Try to solve this :

There are ten gnomes. They are in the dungeon. Their captor has given the gnomes a chance of survival. Here is the offer:

He lines the gnomes up in a single-file row. This means that the tenth gnome sees the back of the person in front of him, and there is no gnome behind the tenth gnome. The ninth gnome has the tenth gnome behind him and the eighth gnome directly in front of him, and so on. Finally, the first gnome has the second gnome directly behind him, but there is no one in front of the first gnome.

The captor has a bag full of many black hats and many white hats. There is not necessarily the same number of black hats as white hats. (important) He randomly reaches into his bag and places a hat on each of the gnomes. This means that the tenth gnome can see everyone's hat except his own, the ninth gnome can see everyone's hat except his own and the tenth gnome's hat, and so on. The first gnome can see no one's hat.

The captor then takes out his gun and puts it to the temple of the tenth gnome. He asks the gnome, "What color is your hat?" If the gnome answers correctly, he lives and gets freed from the dungeon. If he does not, he dies. He continues up the line in this progression.

However, before placing the hats on the gnomes, he allows the gnomes to meet as a group and discuss a strategy to save as many of the gnomes as possible. How many gnomes can you guarantee to save, and with what strategy?

REMEMBER: When it is your turn to say the color of your hat you must ONLY say "white" or "black." If you say anything else, the king will shoot you and all of the remaining gnomes.

i think they can strategize to save minimum 5 of the gnomes with guarantee.

really feeling rusted after a year but thinking on this line might provide a better solution

1st three will count how many of the remaining seven ( ie for 1-7) have black hat

now black -1
white -0

ie they will use binary

so 111- 7 , 110-6................

now if the 10th guy say black then they guys 1-7 have >= 4 black hats

if he says white then definitely they have >= 5 white hats

if 111 -- all black and all 7 can be saved
110--6 have black so all ( from 1-7 ) will say black and in case the first one has white on his head he too can be saved

dont know if its better or worse solution but this surely can be improved
