A Warm Farewell

  A Warm Farewell:- At a train station, the Porter family is saying good-bye to the Robinson f amily. We don't know who is leaving and who is staying. Each of the members of the Porter family says farewell to each of the members of the Robinson family. To say good bye, two men shake hands, and both a man and a woman and two women kiss once on the cheek. An eyewitness to the event counted 21 handshakes and 34 kisses.   . How many men and how many women were saying good-bye ?? Orientation: - 1)First find the total number of members in each family by adding the handshakes and kisses 21+34=55 interactions and then find the factors of 55 ie 5* 11, 55* 1. 55 * 1 is not possible hence there are 5 members in one family and 11 members in another family. 2) Using the same logic find the no of mens in each family with 21 handshakes. 3) Use 1 and 2 to find the number of women in each family 4) Give the total number of men and women based on 2 and 3.

Answers for Puzzles 8 to 11

  Answers:- The Calender:- Every year divisible by 4 without remainder is bissextile (leap year), except that every year divisible by 100 without remainder is not leap year, unless it be also divisible by 400 without remainder, when it is leap year. This is not generally understood. Thus 1800 was not leap year, nor was 1900; but 2000, 2400, 2800, etc., will all be leap years. The first day of the present century, January I, 1901, was Tuesday. The present century will contain 25 leap years, because 2000 is leap year, and therefore 36,525 (365 X 100 + 25) days, or 5217 weeks and 6 days; so that January 1,2001, will be 6 days later than Tuesday-that is Monday. The century beginning January I, 2001, will contain only 24 leap years, because 2100 is not leap year, and January 1,2101, will be 5 days later than Monday, last mentioned, that is Saturday, because there are 5217 weeks and only 5 days.   It will now be convenient to put the...
