@ Bolded......The answer lies in the question . Mark Crimson is the answer.

Please how did you arrive at the answer

kretoz:
Please how did you arrive at the answer

Can you see the part I bolded? The person that wrote the note put the clue there. There is a question mark before the name Crimson. The question mark is the clue because one of them is named "MARK" Crimson and that was how I was able to say Mark did it.

Thanks a lot, I understand it now

You are welcome! The more you solve puzzles, the more you get to know how they appear. The answer to most questions are usually in the question itself. The first thing I usually do is to read in between the lines. If nothing comes up, I will then start considering other possibilities.

There are 13 caves arranged in a circle. There
is a thief hiding in one of the caves. Each day
the the thief can move to any one of of the
caves that is adjacent to the cave in which he
was staying the previous day. And each day,
you are allowed to enter any two caves of
your choice.
What is the minimum number of days to
guarantee in which you can catch the thief?

Note:

1. Thief may or may not move to adjacent
cave.
2. You can check any two caves, not
necessarily be adjacent.
3. If thief and you exchange your caves,
you will surely cross at some point, and
you can catch the thief immediately.

Let’s assume the thief is in cave 1 and going clockwise and start searching from cave 13 and 12 on Day 1

Also, to catch the thief, cave 13 must be search daily

Hence Cave 13 and 12: Day 1
Cave 13 and 11: Day2
Cave 13 and 10 : Day 3
Cave 13 and 9: Day 4
Cave 13 and 8: Day 5
Cave. 13 and 7: Day 6
Cave 13 and 6: Day 7
Cave. 13 and 5: Day 8
Cave. 13 and 4: Day 9
Cave. 13 and 3: Day 10
Cave. 13 and 2: Day 11
Cave. 13 and 1. Day 12

Total no of days: 12days

A dysfunctional family has to cross the river.
On one side of the river are a mom and 2
daughters, dad and 2 sons, the maid and the
dog. There is a boat only big enough to hold 2
people (counting the dog as 1 person). Only
the adults are capable of operating the boat.
Everyone has to get to the other side, without
anything bad happening.

Now the difficulties are : if the dog is left with
anyone and the maid isn’t there to control
him, he’ll bite. The dad can’t be left with any
of the daughters when the mom isn’t there.
Likewise, the mom can’t be trusted alone with
either of the sons when the dad isn’t there.
Remember! only an adult can operate the
boat, and the boat can’t drive itself.

Nine IITians were sitting in a classroom. Their
prof wanted to test them. One day he told all
of his 9 students that he has 9 hats, colored
either in red or black. He also added that he
has at least one hat with red color and the no.
of black hats is greater than the no. of red
hats. He keeps those hats on their heads and
ask them tell me how many red and black
hats I have? Obviously students can not talk
to each other or no written communication,
or looking into each other eyes; no such
stupid options.
Prof goes out and comes back after 20
minutes but nobody was able to answer the
question. So he gave them 10 more minuets
but the result was the same. So he decides to
give them final 5 minutes. When he comes
everybody was able to answer him correctly.
So what is the answer? and why?

Since the no of black hats are greater than that of red hats and at least one red hat in the combination.

We have four possible outcomes. These are:

1 red, 8 blacks

2 reds, 7 blacks

3 reds, 4 blacks

4 reds, 5 blacks

The max no of red hats possible is four (Since the no of red hats can't be greater than black)

Therefore, everybody answered him at 4reds , 5 blacks

I think the answer is three read hats and 6 black hats. How did i come to this is, firstly the prof. Told them there is atleast one red hat, and the black hats are more in numbers. so the first period they couldnt provide any answer, and so also the second, and in the third period when the proffessor told them its their final chance, they all went for three red hats six black hats. I think maybe because of the three period.

Four glasses are placed on the corners of a
square table . Some of the glasses are upright
(up) and some upside-down (down). You
have to arrange the glasses so that they are
all up or all down (while keeping your eyes
closed all the time). The glasses may be re-
arranged in turns subject to the following
rules.

1. Any two glasses may be inspected in
one turn and after feeling their
orientation you may reverse the
orientation of either, neither or both
glasses.
2. After each turn table is rotated through
a random angle.
3. At any point of time if all four glasses
are of the same orientation a ring will
bell

You have to come up with a solution to
ensure that all glasses have the same
orientation (either up or down) in a finite
number of turns. The algorithm must be non-
stochastic i.e. it must not depend on luck .

First turn, choose diagonally glasses and turn them up.

Second turn, choose one of the adjacent glasses and turn it up, if the bell didn't ring, it means we have three glasses up.

Next turn, choose the diagonal pair of glasses, if one of them is down, turn it up and the bell will ring. If both are up, turn one down. So, there are two glasses down, and they must be adjacent.

On the fourth turn choose two adjacent glasses and reverse both. If both were in the same orientation then the bell will ring. Else there are now two glasses down and they must be diagonally opposite.

Finally, choose a diagonally pair of glasses and reverse both, and bell will ring.

A horse, a donkey and a camel were stolen.
Three suspects: Robert, Scott and Tommy. All
we know that each person stole one animal,
but we do not know who stole which. Here
are the investigation statements.

Robert: Tommy stole the horse.
Scott: Tommy stole the donkey.
Tommy: They both were lying. I did not steal
the horse or the donkey.

Later on, police found out =>

The man who stole the camel told a lie.
The man who stole the horse told the truth.

Can you find out who stole which?
