Kslib: Absolutely wrong!!!!
Guy your question said the boat has two engines..it went on to say that it takes 5mins to service a particular engine..it even said it takes 45 mins to reach the village,if only one engine is used.. So how come you use 5 mins to service both engines.. Let's assume i want to use only one engine,how many minutes will i use? 2.5 hahaha!!!
but i think the answer should be..
Service both engines for 10 mins...
Use 30 mins to reach the village..
Use 5 mins to load passengers...
Use 30 mins to come back....
Use 5 mins to offload passengers...
I used 80 mins and still have 10 mins extra..

please pick up ur pen and note book and follow me: (1)if u boil 1 egg for 25mins how long will it take u to boil 3? Is it 75mins or 25mins? Just very simple u got it all mixed up at the "service" thing. U're sevicing the engines all together not one-by-one.

manny4life: How can witness be the girl?

The oldest person and the witness were not of the same sex. (so it's either oldest person, which is father + witness which is mother or daughter).

There are two variables here 1) The oldest person which is the father and 2) The witness whose of opposite sex (mother or daughter). The witness is opposite sex to the oldest, do the math again

So how can witness be the girl?

u sit down and do the math, the witness is the girl/daugther, the victim is the boy/son, murderer is the mother and helper the father......SHIKENA!

dlex21: this question is by the great Albert Eistein himself...and he sed 98% didnt get it...can u

There are 5 houses in 5 different colors in a row. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar, or drink the same beverage. Other facts:
1. The Brit lives in the red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The green house is on the immediate left of the white house.
5. The green house's owner drinks coffee.
6. The owner who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The owner living in the center house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The owner who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The owner who keeps the horse lives next to the one who smokes Dunhill.
12. The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The owner who smokes Blends lives next to the one who drinks water.

The question is: WHO OWNS THE FISH?

the one that drinks the water

manny4life: I'm not disputing your post, I arrived at the the same answer as you did, but few things did not add up, to me, when I did it... Here's my original post



The Helper could have been the father or son, and the murderer could have been the father or son too, but they don't give us any other fact to identify helper and murderer other than

1. 4.... The helper must be older than the victim...

2. 5.. The murdere can never be the youngest member......

Since we know that the daughter is the youngest and the victim, so the other three are older, while the witness was identified, the two are yet to tied into specifically their roles played. This is just my own opinion.

witness=girl
victim=boy
helper=father
murderer=mother

Kslib: How i take answer the question wrong?
Two things ar involved..it is either you are playing with me or the question doesn't have an answer...

calm down its simple. The boat is the fastest(true), but why? Because the boat uses total of 60mins(30+30) to the village and ack to the hospital. They service both engines together using 5mins( not 10mins because their doing it together not one-by-one). They load and unload passangers for 5mins. Making a total of 60mins+5mins+5mins=70mins, which they safe the remaining 20mins for treatment...CLAP FOR ME.

Haha!......simple question people dey sweat in front soilder man..... statistics has shown that only 3 people out of 100 can answer this question. But its EASY jes follow the question.

Kslib: I cannot use air cos they have 1h 30 mins to live,and it will take 1hr 45 mins for the weather to be stable..so that's not an option atall..
I cannot use road cos the vehicle will use one hour to get to the village and 30 mins will not be enough to bring the 4 victims alive..it only has two spaces for passengers when i was told to save four passengers...can u imagine?
I will use the boat cos if i use 10 mins to service both engines,i now have 1hr 20 mins.. I now use 30 mins to reach the village.. My remaining time is now 90 mins... I now use 5mins to load my passengers.. I have 85 mins left.. I service both engines again with 10 mins. I now have 75 mins left.. I use 30 mins to reach the hospital.. I now have 45 mins when we landed at the hospital.. I use 5 mins to offload my passengers... Now my mission is complete and i still have 40 mins extra to flex....

almoast there try again

I was asked this question during my NDA 64regular course interview, we call it sand modelling, it goes like this: their was a huge explosion in a village and 4 were injured and they have just 1h 30mins more to survive. At that very time there was a heavy storm, the roads are also vey bad. As a leader of an emergency team from from the closest hospital connected by 40km road to the village were asked to pick from the fastest means to make the 4victims survive. The village and the hospital are also connected by air and water.firstly, U have a helicopter that contains 2 emergency members and 6more passanger spaces, but due to poor visibility u have to wait for 95mins. Secondly, u have an ambulance which contains 2 emergency members members with 2 more passanger space, but due to bad road the sppeed is limited to 40km/h, it takes 2mins to load and unload passangers, finally, a double engine speed boat which takes 5mins to service each engine, contains 2 emergency members and 4 passanger space, it uses 45mins to move from the hospital to the village, if both engines are used it takes 30mins, it takes 5mins to load and unload passangers. What do u think is the fastest and why?

Todaynatoday: Three young guys register at
a hotel and are told that
their rooms will cost N1000
each so they pay N3000.
Later the clerk realizes that
he made a mistake and
should have only charged
them N2500. He gives a
bellboy N500 to return to
them but the bellboy is
dishonest and gives them
each only N100, keeping N200
for himself. So the men
actually spent N2700 and the
bellboy kept N200. What
happened to the remaining 300 naira?

the #300 has already been returned coz the boy spent 3000 in which they only got 300 back

achi4u: throw away the 5litres keg and guage the 8 liter keg to have 7litres

Or,
kindly fetch the first 5 litres keg and tell the person that send that u cannot carry 2 kegs of water at a go.lol

na nairaland I dey see people wey beta pass basketmouth.....lol....*fell on the floor*

rekeson: U were given both 3 litres and 5 litres jerry cans, 2 go 2 d stream and bring exactly 4 litres of water. How do u pull dis off?

Note: there is no instrument 4 measurement, neither are d jerry cans marked with any litre scale.

fetch full 3L with 3L keg then pour it in the 5L keg, repeat this again but this time it will remain 1L in the 3L keg. Pour the full 5L keg away and pour the 1L in the 5L keg then fetch full 3L with 3L keg and pour it in the 5L keg, remmember their is an initial quantity of 1L. All together u have 4L.

meritdee: You were sent to a stream to fetch 7 litres quantity of water. As u were leaving, u were given a 5 litre keg and 8 littre keg. How would you get the exact 7 litres of water?

fetch 5litres first then pour it into 8litres keg, then fetch anothe 5litres again and pour but this time it will remain 2litres, pour the other 8litres full keg away and pour 2litres in it, then fetch the 5litre with 5litre keg and add to the 2 litres in 8litre keg. Then u're done.

Classyzi: why?

because they may end up being the robber

meritdee: There was an airplane crash, every single person on board died, but yet two people survived. How is this possible?

meritdee: I have read this for like 15 times, I still believe there is a hidden point I've not seen... Na wa o

But wait, the question didn't talk about Mr Johnson having a compound here, so this said compound could be where Mr Johnson resides too.
Ok, maybe The compound is owned by Mr Johnson and Mr David is just a tenant which already had an agreement that He would always be the one to sweep the compound.

whatever, mr johnson owns the banana, if their is an agreement between them, then such agreement is made on leaves alone not fruit. But if their is none it still belong to mr johnson because mr david should have sued mr johnson for messing the compound.

Ask4bigneyo: This is permutation. The answer is 12! i.e 12 factorial (12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1)

nope the answer is 66

stevenson007: Solve this!
I borrowed 50k to purchase a particular jean frm each of my parent dats 25k each. But I eventually bought thir jean for 45k leaving wit me a balance of 5k.
So I decided to give my parents 1k each, which mean am owing them 24k each.
Adding my debt which is 48k wit d remaining 3k, I got 51k.
Q: where does dat additional 1k cum from?

u dont add 48k with 3k because out of 48k debt lies 3k, the 3k as been added already to make up 48k debt. It just an error. Same goes to when u pay 2k each instead of 1k, their will be subtraction of 1k.

hardbody: I have tons of thesebrain wrackers in a compendium of Logic texts, although it is in soft copy. Any interested NLander can send an email and I will send a copy to them. Although I must confess I never read beyond the first few pages. Fortunately I am gainfully employed and so would not b needing those question and answer sessions. Before I forget, Accenture embarrassed me with one of those questions way back in time, I felt very stupid when I got home and realized I goofed.

need one

NATO rounds?....hmmm, are u thinking what am thinking?

Themaingate: HONESTLY SPEAKING CBN HAS LOST DIRECTION IN TOTAL . WHY DIDNT THEY INTRODUCE IT BEFORE NOW ? IS IT BECAUSE NIGERIANS SAID NO TO THE 5000 ?

IF THEY ARE SINCERE ,THEN LET THEM MAKE 1 ,5 ,20 ,50 AND 100 NOTES AND THEN MAKE 200 ,500 ,1000 AND 5000 COINS AND SEE IF NIGERIA WILL NOT BE BETTER OFF WITHIN 6MONTHS

BOUNCE OF CRIMINALS

am even thinking about 10k, 30k, #1 as coins and #5, #20,#100, #500 as note

Just take it easy, u can get through it. U can still live longer than those without the disease:
1.stop thinking about the problem, pretend u have none(but offcourse u have none).
2.be social, have a lot of fun and be happy. Try to avoid high blood pressure, depression is a problem on it's own, always smile and laugh and dont associate wit things or people that will make u unhappy. Dont listen to bad news dont watch tragedic movies.
3.dont spend too much of ur time working, dont overwork urself, avoid stress
4.eat very well, u can contact ur doctor to make food plans for u, dont eat strange food, be very clean.
5.stick very well to ur drug and take it as discribed by ur doctor, dont abuse the drug.
6.dont be far from ur doctor
7.dont be far from ur God.

I think the currencies we should only have in Nigeria are; 10k, 30k,#1, #10, #20, #100 notes. In this case it will stop loss during exchange with other currencies, reduce the amount we walk with everyday hereby minimizing loss through theft. Just thinking
