Are You A Genius, Then Answer This Question. by Nobody: 11:17pm On May 12, 2015
This will really make your brain sweat, its for 14 year old students.

Albert and Bernard just met Cheryl. “When’s your birthday?” Albert
asked Cheryl.
Cheryl thought a second and said, “I’m not going to tell you, but I’ll give
you some clues.” She wrote down a list of 10 dates:
May 15, May 16, May 19
June 17, June 18
July 14, July 16
August 14, August 15, August 17
“My birthday is one of these,” she said.
Then Cheryl whispered in Albert’s ear the month — and only the month
of her birthday. To Bernard, she whispered the day, and only the day.
“Can you figure it out now?” she asked Albert.
Albert: I don’t know when your birthday is, but I know Bernard doesn’t
know, either.
Bernard: I didn’t know originally, but now I do.
Albert: Well, now I know, too!
When is Cheryl’s birthday?

Nice question friend, you could also take this question down to www.wasiki.com (Nigerian student online resource website) and make it more interesting.

I've never solved Number 1 before, I only saw it once, and I dont even understand the explanation given to it. But I know I saw the answer as July 16th. That was why I wrote July 16th, with no further explanation.

The 2nd question, yes I've seen it before, just like I stated earlier on. And it was quite easy, just tasking cheesy

As for the 3rd question, never seen it before, but I've solved something similar, that was why I stated it as an example before answering the question.

And I hope I got it smiley

Thanks, bring it on. But it seems to be getting tougher. angry grin

A scientist gathered four math students. They were then lined up so that
each one could see the one in front of them but not behind them. Each
had a hat placed on their head.
So the student in the back could see the hats of the three students in
front, but the student in front could not see any hats.
"There is a red hat, a white hat, a blue hat, and a hat that is a duplicate of one of those
colors," the scientist said.
Starting with the one in the back, each student was asked what color hat they were wearing.
They all gave the correct answer!
What was the arrangement of the hats that made this possible?

Wooow. Okay this seems tactical.

Let's assume the duplicate is a blue hat. The 1st and 2nd person, is putting on a blue hat while the 3rd and 4th puts on red and white.

With that the last student will know he/she is putting on a white hat, cos he can see all the students in front, and the 3rd student seeing that the 2 students in front are putting on blue, will automatically know he is putting on a red hat.

Ai je raison? undecided

Most questions I have come across on threads are the type anybody could easily decipher at the very first attempt, but so far, you have impressively untangled the calibre of questions not just anybody could dare.
Nice doing business with you. cheesy
Whenever I come across any tricky puzzle, I would be glad to share with you.

Actually I disagree with this the puzzle request how was the arrangement to allow the students to name the color of their hat correctly. Starting from the known of course the last person could see all the three on front of him which means he could be the duplicate but can't tell exactly the color but he can tell he's putting on a duplicate of one of the 3

I disagree with your explanation. Look at the bolded, they were asked "what colour" that means they ought to be specific. What's the use of the puzzle if the 3rd student can't tell the exact colour he/she is putting on, but knows it's a duplicate. The question ain't solved that way. They were meant to be specific. And that's why the real answer is what I've explained earlier on. The 3rd and 4th students knows their colour, cos the two people in front of them are putting on same colour.
