Seven sisters arrived in her village and each of them began to dedicate herself to a specific task. The first was reading a novel, the second was making hamburgers, the third was playing chess, the fourth was doing crossword puzzles, the fifth was doing laundry, and the sixth was watering the plants. What was the seventh sister doing?

A young man inherited two women’s shoe factories, all strikingly beautiful. Everything was going well, until the owner noticed that the employees were stealing stylish shoes for their girlfriends and wives. And he couldn’t catch any of them in the act.

What decision did the factory owner take to end the crimes?

When it rains, the cat stays in the bedroom or attic.

When the cat is in the room, the mouse is in its hole, and the cheese is in the fridge.

If the cheese is on the table and the cat is in the attic, then the mouse is in the room.

Now it’s raining and the cheese is on the table.

So where are the cat and the mouse?

During a test, the teacher handed a female student a femur bone and asked:

“How many bones of this type do you have?”

“Five!”

– Wrong. You only have two femur bones.

However, the student was right. How is it possible?

The authoritarian ruler of an island did not want outsiders to settle there. Wanting to demonstrate that he was a just monarch, he issued a decree stating that anyone who wanted to settle on the island must make any statement, the content of which would depend on the person’s life.

The decree read as follows: “If the outsider tells the truth, he will be thrown at the stake. If he lies, he will be hanged.”

How could a foreigner overcome the obstacle set by the ruler and become a new resident of the island?

Let’s see how many answers you got right:

1. The seventh sister is playing chess with the third.

2. The owner ordered one factory to produce only shoes for the left foot, and the other for the right.

3. Depending on the condition of the problem, the cat can be in two places: in the bedroom or in the attic. But he can’t be in the room, since the cheese isn’t in the fridge (it’s on the table). So the cat is in the attic. Knowing that the cat is in the attic and the cheese on the table, the mouse can only be in the bedroom.

4. The student was pregnant. She was referring to her two bones, those of the child and the one she carried in her hand. Five in total.

5. If the outsider says, “I am condemned to be hanged”, it will cause a difficult and new situation for the ruler. After all, if we consider the statement to be correct, then he should die at the stake. But that wouldn’t happen. And if it is incorrect, then he should be hanged. Only that would prove he was telling the truth. That is, by saying “I am condemned to be hanged”, the foreigner could save his own life.
