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 $15? Ans to this is that: no need to add 2$ to 12$ 'coz 2$ is already added.. one is supposed to add 2$ to 10$ and it totals to 12$ and the remaining 3$ is given back.

My Dear Sujatha,
one part of the question is "
The camels didn't see each other until there was only exactly one camel's width between the two groups."
Try to use match stick or some coin and place four each on both side leaving one single space in between... Now try to pass one over another with a space left each time one camel climb on another and go...

6th Ans. of The Double Jeopardy Doors:
I will ask one Robo like this
what will be the answer of other Robo to my question i. e., whether i will die if i use this door?
if the robo says it will say yes then i will use the same door, if No then i will use another door.
because, if the robo to whom i have asked the question is lier then he will say opposite answer of other robo and in case of the true robo also he will say exactly what the false answer comes from other robo.

When the girl opened the cellar door she saw the living room and, through its windows, the garden. She had never seen these before because her parents had kept her all her life in the cellar.
