1) You have to prepare for a date, but there is no electricity, and you have nothing but a one single match. You have to light your oil lamp, heat your bath (using pieces of wood), and light a fire in order to prepare some food (in the fireplace).

What is the chance only two of the friends are going to walk out with their right umbrellas? (Solved by Drifting Guy )4) Listen carefully. A tennis ball has rolled its way into a hole. The hole is very deep and has a sharp bend in the middle, so it is impossible to retrieve the ball by hand. The ground around is made of very hard clay, so it is also not possible to dig it out. However, you have something incredibly commonplace to help you get the ball out.

One puzzle for the day.
Five swimmers (George, Peter, Robert, Mathew, and John) have been preparing for a competition. The five swimmers each compete in the four different strokes (backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle). The top three finishers in each event will qualify for the finals in that stroke.
1) Only one contestant qualified in all four strokes.
2) No contestant finished last in more than one event.
3) Peter finished better than Mathew in the butterfly.
4) George finished better in the backstroke than he did in the butterfly.
5) George finished just behind Peter and just ahead of John in the breaststroke.
6) Mathew finished just ahead of Robert in the freestyle.
7) John's finish in the backstroke was the same as Mathew's in the butterfly.
8) Mathew only finished in the same position in the backstroke and the freestyle..
79) Neither Peter nor John finished third in any event.
10) Robert finished in a different position in each event.
11) Peter finished only two events in the same position.
12) The contestant who finished first in the freestyle did not qualify in the backstroke.
13) The contestant who finished second in the butterfly beat Mathew in the freestyle.
14) The contestant who finished fifth in the backstroke did not finish third in the butterfly.

B: "OK, I'll tell the truth. It was me. I broke it."
C: "Don't be mad at A! He didn't do anything!"
D: "B didn't break the glass, I swear."Who broke it?

9) Someone broke your window. There are four children playing near it, so only one of them could have broken it. You know that the kid who broke it is lying, but you do not know how many of the others are lying too.
A: "Not me! I didn't break a thing!"
B: "OK, I'll tell the truth. It was me. I broke it."
C: "Don't be mad at A! He didn't do anything!"
D: "B didn't break the glass, I swear."
B: If He broke it and he says he broke it then B is telling the truth. So B is out.
D: If B didn't Break the glass and D says B didn't break the glass. Then D is also telling the truth. So D is out.
Now we left A and C:
Assuming C was the one who broke it.
C: C says A didn't break it. (And we know the person who broke it is lying - Contradiction)
Therefore. A is the one who broke it.
Now for fun
Assuming A was the one who broke it.
A said he didnt break it. (Lying) C says a didn't break it (Lying) and No Contradiction. -
Shoo challenging.

9: Since we know that the person who broke it was lying, so B must be lying as if he broke the glass, then he is telling the truth. Now, For A and C, I believe both of them are lying as well since both A & C claims A did not broke the glass. Therefore I guess it is either both A & C broke the glass, if not then it is D, becoz D's statement contradicates everything.
