Nairaland of old, we'd have had correct answers by now. Let me attempt. I might be wrong on some. 1. Babies are born everyday, not children. The term child covers the period from birth (not before birth) to adulthood, as defined in different jurisdictions. 2. Start from the lowest floor, and keep going higher till the egg breaks. Whichever floor it breaks, the floor beneath it is the answer. 3. Divide the coins into 2, that's 50 in each pile. Every coin has heads. The question asked for equal number of heads not equal number of heads UP. 4. Open the box incorrectly labelled "Apples and oranges", whatever fruit comes out makes it the box containing that fruit alone, you have one correct label now. The box incorrectly labelled that first fruit becomes correctly labelled as the second fruit alone and the third box which was incorrectly labelled as the second fruit alone is to be correctly labelled "Apples and oranges". 3 Likes |

Athemisia:You can't have a negative answer for 1. 2. An egg can break from 10m and 20m, once it's broken it's broken. Hence, why I noted you can't have it again (options are for insist) 3. All coins have head 4. All are labeled incorrectly, simply get one and get all that's all. |

1. 385,000 babies are born each day 2. This is a time series Analysis. That is, the number of times the egg could break on each floor is dependent on the number of floors and eggs available for practice. It actually tests the human capacity to make decisions based on best and worst case scenario. Drop Floor #1 14 #2 27 #3 39 #4 50 #5 60 #6 69 #7 77 #8 84 #9 90 #10 95 #11 99 #12 100 3. Pick any 10 coins and make a small pile. You now have 90 coins in a pile (call it pile A), and 10 coins in a new pile (call it pile B). You don't know where the heads are, but you do know that there are 10 of them in total, and therefore however many heads there are in pile A, there is 10 minus this many in pile B. Let's do an inventory: Pile A contains: - n heads - 90-n tails Pile B contains: - 10-n heads - the rest tails. How many tails exactly? Well out of 10 coins, 10-n are heads, which means the number of tails is 10-(10-n) = n tails. Wait...what? pile A has n heads, and pile B has n tails? So we know that there are always the same number of heads in pile A as there are tails in pile B, even if we don't know exactly what number that is? So flip over all the coins in pile B. We now have the same number of heads in both piles. The solution for the worst case in this scenario occurs when the threshold floor is floor number 14 – because we will drop the first egg on floor 14, and it will break. Then we have to test floors 1-13 with the 2nd egg to see where the egg breaks again, and the egg will not break on any of those floors. But since the egg broke on the floor 14, we can conclude that the threshold floor is floor number 14. I am sleepy already Psoul: |

Question 2: to optimize result, start from the middle floor, if the egg breaks, try one-quarter, but if it didn't break, try three-quarter. This is solving by halfing. 1 Like |

Since the three boxes are labeled wrongly, pick the one that is labeled apples and oranges and open, any fruit you bring out is the only fruit in that particular box, assuming your see apple, remove the label from the other box bearing apple and place on the one you opened, exchange the remaining two labels Psoul: 1 Like |

Athemisia:Google no 2, you'll see it's iteration. In iteration it could be broken, once it's broken that's it you can't recover it. 3. Google 3. Not determined, but the question didn't ask us to put equal number of heads facing up. Hence all coins have a head. 50:50. 4. As long as the three are not labeled correctly, the one with the mixture is the key. Simple. |

Psoul: 1. Children are not born. Babies are! 2 . Are we talking about the 2 eggs or one? 3. Coins are laid flat. You can either start piling them or arranging them... You don't 'Split in piles' what's already laid plain! 4. A feel of the hand over the fruits will do the Magic! Apples are smooth rinded while oranges are not so smooth. |

This one is easy I guess. The key to labelling the boxes correctly is the fact that they have all been labelled incorrectly. One you open a box and you pick one of apple or orange(determined by its feel and not looking in), you know that fruit is that box and the any other box not labelled with that fruit from the two other boxes. For example if a handpicked fruit is orange, I know orange is in that box and one of the two remaining boxes, but since they all labelled incorrectly, whichever box doesn't carry orange label is the real orange box. Once that's out of the way, I simple swap the labels on the remaining two boxes to complete their labelling. |

Let me attempt no4: since none of the boxes is labelled correctly, if I pick an orange and the tag on the box reads "APPLES", I will change the label to "ORANGES". Now I'm left with two boxes; one bearing " ORANGES" and the other bearing "APPLES AND ORANGES". I will simply exchange the labels. This might not be 100% but at least each box contains a fruit on its label. |
