Answer that riddle

Recommended Posts

Question: A judge in court told a criminal:

If u say the truth, any truth, I shall give you four years in jail. But if you say a lie, any lie at all, I will give you six years in jail.

The criminal said something, and the judge had a hard time giving his judgement. In the end he let the criminal go free.

Considering you cannot bribe the judge, and he knows everything... Oh yes, NO neutral answers... What did the criminal say???

The criminal say to the judge that you will sentenced me for 6 years in jail.

Because if the judge will say true then he would have to give the criminal 4 years in jail.

But if the judge will say false then he would have to give the criminal 6 years in jail.

But the judge is confused,that's why he let the criminal go free. 044.gif

Thats right!!!

Lets go on to the next one.

You are driving a two-seater car. You reached a bus stop and found three people waiting there.

One is a sickly old man who is going to die. One is a doctor who have saved your life before. Lastly is a woman/man who is very compatible with you and if you lost this chance, you would lose him/her forever.

There is only space left for one more person.

what will you do?

I'll get the person who is compatible with me, cuz the doctor can save lives - he can save the life of the old man.

Shall we have a difficult one to try now?

:)

There are 10 thieves who have obtained 100 gold in their heist.

They are to decide on how they are to split their gold.

These ten thieves are lined up according to their rank, and the highest rank thief would decide on a plan to split these gold. If at least 50% of the thieves agree to the plan, it would be carried out. If not, the thief would be killed and the next in rank would suggest a plan.

Suppose that each thief wants to get as much gold as they are able to get, wants to see another thief being killed, and each thief is logical and knows the situation well and that they know the rest of the thieves are also the same,...

EDIT: Of course, they value their lives very much more than gold...

what should the first thief suggest, such that he will get as much gold as he will get and that the rest of the thieves would support his plan?

Hint: Start thinking if there are only 2 thieves. What will happen?

Maybe the first thief will suggest that he will kill 5 thieves then the 4 remaining that will not be killed will agree to the plan.After killing 5 thieves,the first thief was not contented he suggest again to kill 2 thieves then 2 thieves will agree again to the plan.After killing 2 thieves,there are only 3 thieves now but the first thief suggests again that he will kill 1 thief so that the two of them will have the 50% of the gold.After killing 1 thief the first thief was not contented getting only 50% of the gold then he came up an idea to kill the remaining thief so that he can get as much gold he will get.

The first thief can suggest to kill 4 low ranking thieves and divide the gold among all the rest. Then 5 thiefs will agree to the plan. Then the first thief will want to kill some more thiefs. Again, a few thiefs will agree. Then the 1st thief will have all the gold

If 50% of the thieves agree, then the plan would be carried out as the top rank thief suggests. So if there are only two thieves left, and the top ranking thief at that point of time suggest, the plan will definitely go through since just one agreeing thief is required (himself).

Use this first step to determine how the gold is distributed.

Edited:

looks like its abit too difficult... ok another hint.

If there are two thieves left, 50% of 2 is 1. As long as one out of these two thieves agree on the plan, the plan will be carried out. So the thief who suggests will DEFINITELY get his way no matter what. Will the lower rank thief want this outcome?

If not, what could he have done to prevent this outcome?

Ok... Erm let me answer that question above then...

Since I think it's abit difficult..

When there are two rhievess left, the last thieves will be left with nothing. Let's illustrate by using numbers. The smaller the number, the lower the ranking:

Thief 1 and thief two is left.

So thief 2 will suggest that he get all the 100 gold. Whether or not thief 1 agrees makes no difference to the outcome since thief 2 will surely agree, making it 50% agree.

So thief 1 will never allow that to happen. In this case, any amount of gold will prompt thief 1 to agree to the plan.

Thief 3 will use this to his advantage. So... Continue from here
