Actually nothing to be sorry about ...... the ban was lifted that's why i can post .. d other ban is restricted to that thread alone, thks anyway

OK....better.

I'm still trying to figure out our guru's abracadabra.

orgzeyn:


cos the question is either 4 the gods or 4 guru

lol

madam, that one pass my konkolo brain. abeg.

Ok

Applying algebra

Let Fn = nth floor

Let the floors be F1 F2 F3 etc

Sum of nth floor: F1 * (F1+1)/2 = 100

Solving the quadratic equation:

F1 = 14

So the first floor is the 14th floor

Subsequent floors in the series are F1, F2 =F1+13, F3 = F2 +12......100

14, 27, 39, 50, 60, 69, 77, 84, 90, 95, 99, 100

Yeah correct

Sum Sam and Product
Pete are in class when their teacher
gives Sam the Sum of two numbers
and Pete the product of the same
two numbers (these numbers are
greater than or equal to 2). They must figure out
the two numbers.

Sam: I don't know what the numbers are Pete.

Pete: I knew you didn't know the numbers... But
neither do I.

Sam: In that case, I do know the numbers.

What are the numbers?

Since at least one of the no is 2. Possible outcomes are:

2,3 2,4. 2,5. 2,6. 2,7. 2,8. 2,9 3,4, 3,5 3,6. 3,7. 3,8. 3,9. 4,5. 4,6. 4,7. 4,8. 4,9, 5,6. 5,7. 5,8. 5,9. 6,7 6,8 6,9.7,8. 7,9. 8,9.

Since sam didnt know the numbers, that means the sum has multiple solutions:

Likewise, their product has multiple solutions

These are: 2,6 and 3,4. 3*4 =2*6=12

But the sum of 2 and 6 is 8.

Therefore, the nos are 3&4

John has some chickens that have
been laying him plenty of eggs. He
wants to give away his eggs to several of his
friends, but he wants to give them all the same
number of eggs. He figures out that he needs to
give 7 of his friends eggs for them to get the
same amount, otherwise there is 1 extra egg left.

What is the least number of eggs he needs for this
to be true?

Multiples of 2,3,4,5,6 that leaves no remainder :

LCM = 4*3*5= 60

But 60+1 is not a Multiple of 7

Next multiple is 60*2 = 120
But 120+1 is not a multiple of 7

Next multiple is 60*3=180
But 180+1 is not a multiple of 7

Next multiple is 60*4= 240
But 240+1 is not a multiple of 7

Next multiple is 60*5= 300
300+1 is a multiple of 7

Next multiple is 60 *6 = 360
But 360+1 is not a multiple of 7

No of eggs needed: 301 eggs

A man was found dead with a cassette recorder in
one hand and a gun in the other. When the police
came in, they immediately pressed the play button
on the cassette. He said “I have nothing else to live
for. I can’t go on,” then the sound of a gunshot.
After listening to the cassette tape, the police knew
that it was not a suicide. How did they know?

I think if it were to be a case of suicide, the recording would have been done prior to the shooting, the sound of the gunshot could not have been recorded alongside the 'last words'; just similar to a case of someone that writes a letter and kept it where it could be easily found before going ahead to committing the act

The tape probably started playing from the beginning of the event

the bolded has answered ur question. who stopped and reversed the tape after it was recorded if not the murderer?

This na typical father, sorry murder case na. But e go hard for most naija police especially SARS to know since den go arrest anybody dem see for the area.

On a serious note.

The police were wrong. Analysing the puzzle from the perspective of language, this puzzle did not tell us if the sound of struggle was heard which is associated with death. Also it did not tell us how the voice of the deceased sounded... If relaxed calm nervous depressed or any emotions. How could the police determine its murder without analysing those evidence ?
My conclusion.... The guy recorded himself, rewinded then shot himself.
No ask me why the recorder no fall

It is unwise for the deceased to struggle at gun point

According to the tape, the sound of gunshot didn't come before the suicide statement.

The gunshot was part of the recording and was at the end of the tape

because, the sound of gunshot was heard in the recorder.

Is this the second answer cos it's different from the 1st one you gave?

MrWondah, which kind response be this na. You mean say Naija police go dey rich with the incident first cos dey go arrest as many pple as possible come dey collect bail money on top each of them?

vivie01:

no, I just won whine our questionnaire with my first response.

everything still boils down to a murder case! the murderer was recording his victim on a cassette recorder, he shot the victim while recording, after shooting him; he stopped and rewind the cassette.

If e never happen for your area u no go understand

MrWondah:

If e never happen for your area u no go understand

E just funny to me the way you put it, e never happen for my area anyway

The sol.

The police man just pressed play and heard the man
speaking followed by the gun shot! Now if the man had
committed suicide who rewound the tape? This led the
police to believe that the man was murdered! However,
if the tape had auto rewind then this theory goes out of
the window! So it is assumed that the tape did not
have an auto rewind!!!.

Alright

I turn polar bears white
And I will make you cry.
I make guys have to pee
And girls comb their hair.
I make celebrities look stupid
And normal people look like celebrities.
I turn pancakes brown
And make your champagne bubble.
If you squeeze me, I'll pop.
If you look at me, you'll pop.
Can you answer this riddle?

No, I can't answer the riddle.

Y na

Y na

Cos that's the answer......there's no form of connection in the riddle, so the riddle is bogus.

I take it that the "can u answer this riddle" question is actually the focal point of the riddle.
