Plum puzzle Puzzle for the day friends, A man without eyes saw plums on a tree. He did not leave plums on the tree, yet he did not take plums either. How can this be? Priyum
Hi Priyum May be in dreams, he saw the plum tree. So virtually he neither leave plums on the tree nor he didnt take. How is my answer? Gayathri.
gayatri Hi gayatri, good try.... I do like ur imagination.... But it was not a dream.... nor his thought... try again.. priyum
hi priyum, he is a one eye man so he doesn;t hv eyes. therewere only two plums on the tree therefore he had only one plum not plums and left only one plum not plums . am i right ??
Solution Priyum, The key to the solution lies in the 'Plurals' part of it. (My answer is same as Heena's). The man has an eye, not eyes. He plucked only one plum, so what he plucked and what was left behind was just one plum and not Plums. Let me know ! Love, Preethi
Sonia, Here's the Explanation Sonia, The Question asked was what are the next 2 numbers in the sequence. It was said that 53 was derived from 72, 25 from 34 etc. 72->53->34->25->? There lies the solution. let me explain 72 can be expressed as follows to derive 53. 7*7 + 2*2 = 49 + 4 = 53 Similarly, 53 can be expressed as follows to derive 34. 5*5 + 3*3 = 25 + 9 = 34 On the same lines, we express 3*3 + 4*4 = 9 + 16 = 25 So, the next two numbers will be : 2*2 + 5*5 = 4 + 25 = 29 (29 derived from 25) 2*2 + 9*9 = 4+81 = 85 (85 derived from 29). Is it clear now ? Love, Preethi
