Logic puzzle brain teasers

[Rickster]

i love these brain teasers stuff makes you really think for something that is very simple


You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus

An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
An old friend who once saved your life.
The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.


Knowing that there can only be one passenger in your car, whom would you choose?

[Lifter101]

Is there a right answer? i dont get the point of the question. And how come you can only take one passenger?

[virus]

That's easy. If a STRANGER saved your life you would owe him everything lol. Let alone a "friend" that saved your life, now you should have choosen the friend part regardless of he saved your life or not, no?


What are friends for? The old lady would die in your car and you would get busted for murder or something lol.

well for starters its not a brain teasers, but a question that is questing your 'value standards' or 'value order' and tempting a moral delima but producing conflicting scenarios.

its questioning whether or not you place self-directed values above other-directed values. when values come into conflict, your order then accordingly to which one is more important.

Take the old lady.

The other two can wait for the bus.......considering it doesn't appear they aren't in any danger.

Hint: You can make everyone happy.

Your car can only contain one passenger, so whom should it be?

Answer: The old lady of course! After helping the old lady into the car, you can give your keys to your friend, and wait with your perfect partner for the bus

This was on the Bruce Willis movie, 16 Blocks - pfffft

This is more of a joke or a interesting statement than a logic teaser. haha.

[fitme]

I think I'd pick the friend who saved my life.

I dont know for sure though unless it was really happening.

haha silly me..I just seen the answer right now..LOL

[Rickster]

ok ok heres a real logic one.

Three men in a cafe order a meal the total cost of which is $15. They each contribute $5. The waiter takes the money to the chef who recognizes the three as friends and asks the waiter to return $5 to the men.

The waiter is not only poor at mathematics but dishonest and instead of going to the trouble of splitting the $5 between the three he simply gives them $1 each and pockets the remaining $2 for himself.

Now, each of the men effectively paid $4, the total paid is therefore $12. Add the $2 in the waiters pocket and this comes to $14.....where has the other $1 gone from the original $15?

difficulty-very easy

I hate riddles....

That's not right cookie. They did pay 12
However,
The meal only costed 10 dollars since the chef asked to return 5 dollars back. But since each of htem paid 4 dollars, which means they have paid 12 dollars. That makes it 2 extra dollar. Those 2 extra dollar is the one the waiter kept. Dur.

the answer to the question i posted earlier


The payments should equal the receipts. It does not make sense to add what was paid by the men ($12) to what was received from that payment by the waiter ($2)

Although the initial bill was $15 dollars, one of the five dollar notes gets changed into five ones. The total the three men ultimately paid is $12, as they get three ones back. So from the $12 the men paid, the owner receives $10 and the waiter receives the $2 difference. $15 - $3 = $10 + $2

Ahhh... To make it easier they could have just gave me all the money lol.
