    Default Let's test your IQ.


    "The tribe has grown a wonderful harvest of crops. The chief is very smart and has allocated all the crops to three families with different sizes. To each family, he gives 10 tons more than half of what remains after he has given to the previous family. How many tons of crops did the chief start with?

    To make it a little easier for you, i'll give you the hints:

    - the chief visited each family one at a time and allocated 10 tons of crops more than half of what he had. So, each family's crops are not equal.

    - by the time the chief has reached the last family, the total of half of his supplies equals 10 tons.

    - the chief gives the first family 80 tons of crops.

    Reply your answer.

    Ipakita ang galing ng Pinoy! hehe

    140............

    10 + 1/2X = 80 ; where X is the total harvest of the chief
    1/2X = 80-10
    X = 2 (70)
    X = 140....

    i think its correct....lol

    Here's another puzzle.

    Frenchfries has opened a bakery in the local market. He has made a total of 20 cakes, including 5 strawberry cakes, 6 chocolate cakes, and 9 cherry cakes. While he was baking, he suddenly remembered that he forgot where each cake was in the oven, so he won't know which cake he will take out. A customer has ordered two cakes of the same type. What is the fewest number of cakes that frenchfries must remover from the oven i order to make sure he has two cakes of the same type?

    This time, I can only give you 1 hint.

    - If you select 7, you will definitely be sure that there will be two cakes of the same type. However, it's not the best answer.

    Goodluck.
