AVERAGE MATH RIDDLES WITH ANSWERS TO SOLVE - PUZZLES & BRAIN TEASERS

A half-dollar, a quarter, four dimes, and four pennies. Did you answer this riddle correctly?
YES  NO  

Horse = 10
Cowboy-Boot = 1
HorseShoe= 2
The Last equation = 21

Detailed Explanation :
Equation1:
3Horse = 30
=> Horse = 10 .....(1)

Equation2:
1Horse + 2HorseShoe + 2HorseShoe = 18
10 + 4HorseShoe =18
HorseShoe = 2 .....(3)

Equation3:
2HorseShoe - 2Cowboy-Boot = 2
4 - 2Cowboy-Boot = 2
=> Cowboy-Boot = 1 ... (2)

Equation4:
Cowboy-Boot+Horse*HorseShoe = 1+10*2
=>21 Did you answer this riddle correctly?
YES  NO  

The required digit is 0.

If you add up all the digits in any diagonal, you will find the sum to be 25. Did you answer this riddle correctly?
YES  NO  

47

Explanation:
At first look, it seems pretty easy but on the contrary, it is pretty tricky a question. So let us simplify it by dividing the triangle into three equal triangles (the triangles so formed if outer side is connected to the center of the circle) and then count the number of triangles in each part by taking two or more parts together.

First, let us take the triangles in one part. There are 4 non-overlapping and 3 overlapping triangles.
4 + 3 = 7
7 * 3 = 21

Next, if we take number of triangles by taking two parts together, there are 8 in total.
8 * 3 = 24

Lastly, the number of triangles if all three parts are taken together, there are a total of 2.

21 + 24 + 2 = 47. Did you answer this riddle correctly?
YES  NO  

An obtuse angel Did you answer this riddle correctly?
YES  NO  

Mirror one of the threes and put it and the other three together to get an eight. Did you answer this riddle correctly?
YES  NO  

The best answer from the choices is the owner lost $100. The $100 bill that was stolen was then given back to the owner. What the owner loses is the $70 worth of goods and the $30 in change, which makes for a total of $70 + $30 = $100. The owner has lost $100.

Technically, the owner lost $30 plus the value, V, of the $70 of goods. Since stores typically sell goods at a markup, the value may be less than $70. But in the case of a loss leader, the owner may have lost more than $70. Did you answer this riddle correctly?
YES  NO  

Add a line to make the first + a 4 545+5=550 Did you answer this riddle correctly?
YES  NO  

5 eggs are taken by the first 5 people, then the 6th person takes the egg , while its still in the carton!! Did you answer this riddle correctly?
YES  NO  

The $9 paid by each guest accounts for the $2 that went to the bellhop. So rather than adding $27 to the $2 kept by the bellhop, the $27 accounts for the bellhops money. The $27 plus the $3 kept by the guests does add up to $30. Did you answer this riddle correctly?
YES  NO  

240. To get the number, multiply the previous number in the series by its position. 48 is in the 5th position, so 48 � 5 = 240 Did you answer this riddle correctly?
YES  NO  

Current Future Past

Princess x 2z (x+y)/2
Prince y x z

I then created three equations, since the difference in their age will always be the same.

d = the difference in ages

x y = d
2z x = d
x/2 + y/2 z = d

I then created a matrix and solved it using row reduction.

x y z

1 -1 0 d
-1 0 2 d
.5 .5 -1 d

It reduced to:

x y z

1 0 0 4d
0 1 0 3d
0 0 1 5d/2

This means that you can pick any difference you want (an even one presumably because you want integer ages).

Princess age: 4d
Prince age: 3d
