Mirror Quiz
Mirror Quiz :
X (Normal) + X (Mirror Image) = Answer
So
2 + Mirror Image of 2 will look like a fish,
3 + Mirror Image of 3 will look like a 8,
7 + Mirror Image of 7 will look like a Triangle.
How...?
Solution:
It is not mathematical, rather it has to do with the patterns made by the numbers in left hand side.
For example:-
2+2 = Fish
All other answers can be derived similarly. :-)

Gold Ring Puzzle
Gold Ring Puzzle:
You arrive at a hotel and have 3 sets of golden rings.
The first set of rings has 4 rings,
the second set has 2 rings and
the third only has one ring.
You cannot take these sets of rings apart,
You cannot exchange them for a different form of currency,
and the hotel clerk has no change.
You want to stay at the hotel for 7 nights,
and you have to pay one gold ring for each night that you stay.
You cannot pay in advance, or all at once at the end of your stay.
How do you pay for your 7 nights at the hotel?

You give the clerk the 1 ring on the first night(1).
On the second night you give the clerk the set of 2 rings and take back the 1 ring(2).
On the third night you give the clerk the 1 ring that you took back(2 + 1).
On the fourth, you take back the 1 ring and the set of 2 rings,
and give him the set of 4 rings in return(4).
On the fifth night, you give the clerk the 1 ring back(4 + 1).
On the sixth night, you take back the 1 ring and give him the 2 rings(4 + 2).
And on the seventh night you give him the 1 ring back(4 + 2 + 1).

IQ Question
IQ Question:
Suppose there are 100 people standing in a circle ??.
The first person?? has a gun?? in hand. What he has to do is shoot the second person and then pass the gun to the third person. Now, the third person kills the fourth person and gives gun to the fifth person.
This process is carried till there is only one person surviving ??.
Can you find out who survives at the end.
Solution : 73rd person
Here's the generalized formula to find the solution for N people:
Find the largest integer 'k' such that 2k≤N
The answer is then: 2∗[N−2k]+1
In this case, N = 100. The largest integral k is 6, as 26=64, and 27=128
Thus, the answer is 2∗(100−26)+1=73, i.e. the 73rd person will be left standing
Explanation :
This was my reasoning (there may very well be a neater solution):
It's easy to see that as long as the number of people is a multiple of 2, after a complete round, the gun will return to the person numbered "1" [i.e. 1 kills 2, then 3 kills 4, then 5 kills 6, ....... 99 kills 100 ... and the gun returns to 1]. Also, the number of people left after a round is reduced to half.
Thus, if the total number of people is a power of 2, the number of people left after each round is a multiple of 2. And hence, the last person to remain would be "1".
With that in mind, we try to reduce the number of people (from 100) to a power of 2. What's the closest such power? 64. To get to this number, we need to kill 100-64 = 36 people.
Now, in the first round, the first 36 people to be killed would be: 2,4,6,8,....72. Thus, after 36 kills, the 73rd person would be handed over the gun.
Starting with the 73rd person (our new number "1"), we continue the game. Note that there are 64 people left now. Since this is a power of 2, the gun will keep returning to him/her after every round. Thus, (s)he would ultimately be the lone survive.
The logic, when generalized to N people, results in the formula mentioned above.

A swimming pool has four faucets
A swimming pool has four faucets.
They fill the pool in following times :
1. The first can fill the entire pool with water in two days,
2. The second in three days,
3. The third in four days, and
4. The last one can fill the pool in 6 hours.
How long will it take to fill the pool using all 4 faucets together?
Solution : 4 hours 43 minutes and about 17 seconds.
Explanation:
Since there are 24 hours in one day,
in one hour first tap fills 1/48,
the second tap 1/72,
the third tap 1/96 and
the fourth tap fills 1/6 of the Pool.
That is all together (6+4+3+48) / 288 = 61/288.
The Pool will be full in 288/61 hours, which is 4 hours 43 minutes and about 17 seconds.

March = 13188
April = 1912
May = 13125
June = 10215
July = ?
Solution : 102125
First letter count in the alphabet is first digit
i.e. J = 10
Last letter count in the alphabet is first digit
i.e. Y = 25
Now see this logic
January -- First Vowel is 'a' so middle digit is 1 (but repeated so 10)
February -- First Vowel is 'e' so middle digit is 5
March -- First Vowel is 'a' so middle digit is 1
April -- First Vowel is 'i' so middle digit is 9
May -- First Vowel is 'a' so middle digit is 1
June -- First Vowel is 'u' so middle digit is 21
July -- First vowel is u so middle digit is 21
Hence number for July is 102125

Chain Making Puzzle
Chain Making Puzzle:
There are 5 metal rings...
I want to join them and make a chain as shown in the image.
It involves cutting and welding(joining) the metal rings.
Cutting the ring cost Rs10/- for each cut.
Welding the ring cost Rs20/- for each join.
What is the minimum cost to make the chain ?
Solution:
Answer:
The minimum cost is Rs.60
Explanation:
We only need to cut and weld the 2nd and 4th ring.
So cutting cost Rs.10 = 2 x 10 = Rs.20
Welding cost Rs.20 = 2 x 20 = Rs.40
Hence Total cost = 20+40 = Rs.60
