 Answers:- The Rejected Gun:- The experts were right, the gun shot will begin in the 0th minute and hence in 59 minutes 60 shots should have fired as per the specification given by the inventor that once loaded the gun  would   fire   sixty shots at the rate   of   a shot a minute. The Engineer's Name:- The Engineer's Name is Smith. The Time:- The time is 1:45 PM. The Perflexed Banker:- You can fill the bags in powers of two to represent a binary place for the money like Bag1 pow(2,0) which is 1 ,Bag2 pow(2,1) which is 2,Bag3 contains 4 ,Bag4 contains 8 ,Bag5 contains 16,Bag6 contains 32,Bag7 Contains 64,Bag8 contains 256. Now adding all the Money in these bags with 512 is greater than 1000 hence Bag 9 will contain 1000-(sum of all the Money in the bags1 to 8) which is (1000-511) 489.

  THE PERPLEXED BANKER A man went into a bank with a thousand dollars, all in dollar bills, and ten bags. He said, "Place this money, please, in the bags in such a way that if I call and ask for a certain number of dollars you can hand me over one or more bags, giving me the exact amount called for without opening any of the bags." How was it to be done? We are, of course, only concerned with a single application, but he may ask for any exact number of dollars from one to one thousand. Orientation:- 1)Find a way to represent 1 to 1000 such that each bag can be used to indicate a place of a digit in a certain base.

  THE ENGINEER'S NAME Three business men-Smith, Robinson, and Jones-all live in the Leeds- Sheffield district. Three railwaymen of similar names live in the same district. The business man Robinson and the guard live at Sheffield, the business man Jones and the stoker live at Leeds, while the business man Smith and the railway engineer live half-way between Leeds and Sheffield. The guard's namesake earns $10,000.00 per annum, and the engineer earns exactly one- third of the business man living nearest to him. Finally, the railwayman Smith beats the stoker at billiards. What is the engineer's name? Orientation:- 1) There is enough information to find the engineer's name if you read carefully. The Time :- Every hour the kitchen clock gets five minutes faster.

  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...
