question:
Customer services at BrainBashers headquarters received the following letter recently.

Luckily our top puzzle solvers were able to determine the meaning and help Mrs Middins. So what is her problem?

answer:
The letter was written on a typewriter which has a problem with the middle row of letters – they print spaces instead. The letter should have read:
Dear Sir,
I recently visited one of your outlets to buy one of your typewriters. However, as you can see I am having a small problem.
The middle row of the keyboard appears to be faulty.
I would be very grateful if you could despatch a replacement by return post. Failing this, could you please send an engineer to resolve this problem as a matter of urgency.
Yours faithfully,

question:
The Miller next took the company aside and showed them nine sacks of flour that were standing as depicted in the sketch.

"Now, hearken, all and some," said he, "while that I do set ye the riddle of the nine sacks of flour.

And mark ye, my lords, that there be single sacks on the outside, pairs next unto them, and three together in the middle thereof.

By Saint Benedict, it doth so happen that if we do but multiply the pair, 28, by the single one, 7, the answer is 196, which is of a truth the number shown by the sacks in the middle.

Yet it be not true that the other pair, 34, when so multiplied by its neighbour, 5, will also make 196.

Wherefore I do beg you, gentle sirs, so to place anew the nine sacks with as little trouble as possible that each pair when thus multiplied by its single neighbour shall make the number in the middle."

As the Miller has stipulated in effect that as few bags as possible shall be moved, there is only one answer to this puzzle, which everybody should be able to solve. Please provide the way to arrange the sacks of flour.

answer: The way to arrange the sacks of flour is as follows: 2, 78, 156, 39, 4.

After examining the surviving American planes, he noticed that there were many holes in the fuselage, and very few in the engines. After careful thinking, he suggested that the armor on the engines must be improved. Why?

Later the clerk realizes that the bill is just $25, so he sends the bellboy to return $5 to the guests. On his way to the room, the bellboy decides to cheat and pockets $2 of the money, and gives the three men just one dollar each. Now the three men have spent $9 each, for a total of $27. Additionally, the bellboy took $2 for himself, which adds up to $27 + $2 = $29. Since the guests originally handed over $30, the question is what happened to the remaining $1?

answer: There is no missing dollar. The $27 already includes the bellboy’s $2, and 30 = 25 (hotel) + 3 (returned) + 2 (bellboy).

question: George is a great puzzler, so I was extremely surprised when he didn’t immediately know the answer to a really famous puzzle. It’s a puzzle that you probably did years ago, and have heard so often you can do it from memory rather than working it out. It’s also not really that difficult, so I was also surprised when it appeared to be stumping him. “Come on, surely you know this one,” I said. “I don’t. And don’t call me Shirley.” He answered grumpily. I could tell his mood was declining rapidly, but like any great puzzler he was down and not out, and I watched his facial expression change as he reached into his mental bag of tricks. He nodded towards a conveniently located whiteboard. “Have you got a marker for that?” I handed him one, and he drew up the following diagram: He stepped back, admiring his work, beaming proudly. “Well, now the solution is very obvious!” he commented. And indeed it was. The question for you is: What is the puzzle?

answer: The diagram represents the puzzle about the man, trying to cross the river with a fox (F), a chicken (C) and a sack of barley (B). He can carry at most one of them with himself in the boat, and he shouldn’t leave the chicken alone with the fox or with the barley on one side of the river.

However, he can not travel from one square to a neighboring one using only diagonal moves. Therefore, he must make at least 28 horizontal/vertical moves and at most 64 – 28 = 36 diagonal moves.

question: You and eight of your team members are trying to escape the Temple of Doom. You are running through a tunnel away from a deadly smoke and end up in a large hall. There are four paths ahead, and exactly one of them leads to the exit. It takes 20 minutes to explore any of the four paths one way, and your group has only 60 minutes until the deadly smoke suffocates you. The problem is that two of your friends are known to be delirious and it is possible that they do not tell the truth, but nobody knows which ones they are. How should you split the group and explore the tunnels, so that you have enough time to figure out which is the correct path and escape the temple?

answer: Go alone to tunnel 1; send 2 people to tunnel 2; send 3 people to tunnel 3 and 3 people to tunnel 4. After 20 minutes take the majority in each 3-person group; if both 3-person groups are consistent you know which of them is telling the truth; if only one 3-person group is consistent, use the 2-person group to tell whether that group is truthful. In all cases you can determine the correct tunnel within 60 minutes.
