2) A Curse
3) ...the ship rises with the waves, and so does the ladder.
4) 111-11 =100
5x5x5-5x5 =100
5) 10. The moment you get the third fruit correctly, the fourth is a foregone conclusion.
6) Streetlights?
7) Bacon.
8) She fills the 13oz, and from the 13oz the 5oz to retain 8oz in the 13oz.
She pours these 8oz into the 11oz.
Then she empties the 5oz into the 13oz and tops the 13oz up from the bottle.
She pours from the 13oz into the 5oz again, retaining another 8oz in the 13oz, and empties the 5oz into the bottle.
Now she has 8oz in the 11oz container, 8oz in the 13oz, and 8oz in the bottle.
9) The other guy found out he poked the ballon, beat him dead, stripped him and threw him overboard.
10) To one guard: "When I ask for the door to life, which one will the other guy point at?"
The truthful one knows that the other one will lie and point to the door of death. The liar knows that the truthful one will point at the door of life and lie, pointing to the door of death.
At that point I say thanks and take the other door.

6. peppers
7. tomatoes, every one starts with the one you like.
8. Fill the 5 and 11 ounce ones from the 24 one, leaving 8 in there. Empty the 11 ounce one into the 13 ounce one and pour in 2 more ounces from the 5 ounce one (leaving 3 in the 5 ounce and filling the 13 ounce fully)
Put the remaining 3 ounce from the 5 ounce into the 11 ounce and fill the 5 ounce from the 13 ounce one, leaving 8 ounce in the 13 ounce one.
Finally pour the 5 ounce into the 11 ounce (already holding 3 ounce) filling it to the final 8 ounce.

1. In 3.5 hours the alarm clock has become fourteen minutes slow. At 12 noon the alarm clock will fall behind an additional minute. The clock hands will show 12 noon in fifteen minutes.
2. fake (counterfeit) money
3. As the water rises with the tide, so does the ladder and ship. So the water will never cover over the rung.
4. 111-11=100 or (5 x 5 x 5)-(5 x 5)=100; (5+5+5+5)x 5=100;(5 x 5)(5-(5/5)=100
5.
6. peppers
7. Tomatoes. or to be specific, I like things that start with prepositions.
8.
9. As the balloon lost altitude the three men took of their clothes and threw them overboard to decrease the weight. It kept dropping so the men drew sticks to see who would be forced to jump. The dead man in the desert drew the short stick (half toothpick). He died because of the high jump and probably from being naked in the desert heat and sun.
10. Ask both which one leads out, choose the opposite.

8)Fill the 5 oz. and 11 oz. Containers from the 24 oz. container. This leaves 8 oz. in the 24 oz. bottle. Next empty the 11 oz. bottle by pouring the contents into the 13 oz. bottle.
Fill the 13 oz. bottle from the 5 oz. container (with 2 oz.) and put the remaining 3 oz. in the 11 oz. bottle. This leaves the 5 oz. container empty. Now pour 5 oz. from the 13 oz. bottle into the 5 oz. bottle leaving 8 oz. in the 13 oz. bottle.
Finally pour the 5 oz. bottle contents into the 11 oz. bottle giving 8 oz. in this container. <-- I hate writing this one out :P
9)First the balloners throw off their clothes to decrease the weight. Then they drew straws to determine who jumps.
10) The one you are told not to go in.

2. presuming that you are counting those who got four as also having gotten three? 10 people.
3. 32 hours
4. Assuming I am not thinking too far out of the box....111-11= 100 and [(5x5)x5]-(5x5) (5x5) x 5
5. Given that the people who got four correct means they are grouped with those who got
6. pepper plants?
7. tomatoes
8. She would fill the five ounce and 11 ounce containers from the original 24 ounce bottle, leaving eight ounces in the medicine bottle. One child down after setting the medicine bottle aside. Next she would empty the 11 ounce container into the thirteen ounce container. Then pour three ounces of the five ounce container into the 13 ounce container, pouring the rest left over from the five into the 11 ounce container. Fill the five ounce container from the 13 ounce container. This leaves 8 ounces in the 13 ounce container. Pour the five ounce bottle into the the 11 ounce container which should mean that you now have three eight ounce doses of medicine. (assuming my math isn't wonked)
9. After they ditched their clothes to drop some weight, they drew straws (or toothpicks in this case) to see who would be thrown out. He got the short toothpick.
10. What door would the other guard tell me to take. The door they point to will inevitably be the door to death.

2. Counterfeit money.
3. As the water rises, so does the rope ladder. The water will never cover the rung.
4. (5 x 5 x 5)-(5 x 5)=100; (5+5+5+5)x 5=100; (5 x 5)(5-(5/5)=100.
5. It is not possible to guess only three fruits correctly: the fourth fruit is then correct too! So nobody has guessed three fruits correctly and 123-43-39-31 = 10 people have guessed four fruits correctly.
6. Pepper
7. Tomatoes, I like things that start with prepositions.

Fill the 13 oz. bottle from the 5 oz. container (with 2 oz.) and put the remaining 3 oz. in the 11 oz. bottle. This leaves the 5 oz. container empty.

9. As the balloon lost altitude, the men took of their clothes and threw them overboard to decrease the weight of the balloon. The balloon continued to drop so the men drew straws to see who would be forced to jump. The dead man in the desert drew the shortest one (the half toothpick).
10. You must ask one guard (it doesn’t matter which one) which door the other guard would say leads out. Both guards will indicate the same door, which will be the door that doesn’t lead out. For purposes of this explainer, we’ll call the doors A (the safe door), and B (the knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door). Let’s discuss:
Scenario one: The guard you ask is the one who lies.
If the guard you asked is the one who lies, then he will lead you astray by telling you (falsely) that the other guard – the truthful guard – will point you towards door B. This makes door A the safe bet.
Scenario two: The guard you asked is the one who tells the truth.
If the guard you ask is the one who tells the truth, he will tell you (honestly) that the other guard – the lying guard – will point you towards door B. This makes door A the safe bet.
In both cases, the outcome is the same. To stay alive, you must walk through the opposite door you’ve been told.

1. The alarm clock will show noon in 14 minutes.
2. That would be counterfeit money.
3. It will take 18 hours before the tide reaches the third rung from the top rung.
4. With five 1s = 111-11=100. 3 ways with 5s = (5+5+5+5)x 5=100; (5 x 5 x 5)-(5 x 5)=100; (5 x 5)(5-(5/5)=100.
5. It's impossible to only guess three fruits are correct, so it would be 10 people who guessed four fruits correct.
6. It would be Peppers.
7. Tomatoes.
8. Take the 24 oz. container and fill the 5 oz. and 11 oz. containers. This will leave 8 oz. in the 24 oz. bottle. Then empty the 11 oz. bottle into the 13 oz. bottle. Next pour with 2 oz. from the 5 oz. container into the 13 oz. bottle, and then put the remaining 3 oz. in the 11 oz. bottle. This now leaves the 5 oz. container empty. Next pour 5 oz. from the 13 oz. bottle into the 5 oz. bottle leaving 8 oz. in the 13 oz. bottle. To finish pour the 5 oz. bottle contents into the 11 oz. bottle, giving 8 oz. in this container.
9. The dead ballooner took off his clothes, along with the other two men, to try and reduce the weight in the basket. But that wasn't enough, so they drew straws, in this case toothpicks, to see who had to jump out. The dead ballooner got the shortest toothpick, thus he had to jump.
10. Since you can only ask one guard 1 question, the question to ask would be, to ask one guard which door the other guard would pick. The lying guard would lie about what the truthful guard would, and the truthful guard would truthfully say what the lying would say. In either instance, you would choose the door that is opposite of what either guards answer was.
