♠♠Sometimes Its to your advantage...

*~*~*
Have fun! ^ u ^

1. A teacher had everyone in her class close they eyes. While non of
the students were looking, she slipped caps onto their heads, and
said:
"Ok, everyone, open your eyes and look at your friends' caps.
whoever sees four or more people wearing red caps gets a red ballon,
and whoever doesn't gets a blue ballon."

In a class of 10 children, only some got a red ballon. But how many?

2. Five cows are grazing at the festival. Two of them are Troomoo
cows, a breed that only tells the truth. The other three are Nowhey
cows, a different variety that always lies. Use the following
statements from each cow to work out which cows are liars.

A: D is a Nowhey. I promise.
B: Oh no, C isn't a Troomoo cow.
C: A
ain't a Nowhey cow. No way.
D: E's a Nowhey if I've ever seen
one.
E: B's definitely not a Troomoo.

Answers:

1. Six. You know that some children got red balloons. If five or more children were wearing a red cap, every child in the class would see at least four red caps and get a red balloon, so it must be fewer than five. but if three or fewer children were wearing red caps,, no one would see four red caps.
Therefore, four children must have had red caps, meaning that the other six children received red balloons.


2. A, C and E are Nowhey cows. If you assume each cow to be a Nowhey or a Troomoo and run through each of the cows' statements, you'll eventually realise that the only time there can be three Nowheys is if they are A, C and E.

Both Riddles are from the game Professor Layton and Pandora's Box aka Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box.
