Jagga Jasoos #10

Jagga: "If you haven't come across death in your life time, you are lucky. I had been in the face of death for more than once."
This statement was spoken by Jagga Jasoos, when I asked him to tell the worst(not one of the worst) experience of lifetime. Even I had goosebumps when I listened to his experience.Let me narrate the story as a climax question for our tournament.
Jagga Jasoos was kidnapped by Shakal. Shakal was the biggest underworld Don. Shakal had the strongest security and no one was able to break the security. So, only end for all the kidnapped people was: DEATH. Shakal had kidnapped Jagga Jasoos because Jagga had once given his one friend in the hands of police. So, Shakal was furious and wanted Jagga Jasoos to be dead. Jagga Jasoos, when kidnapped had decided that his time was about to be over and he won't be able to see sunshine again. That night, Jagga Jasoos was going to be killed by Shakal himself. But, as every person on the Earth has soft corner in their heart, Shakal was not exception. He had maintained a terminology to give his kidnapped ones, a chance to present themselves in front of him. Everyone was supposed to speak one statement and their future depended on Shakal about what to do with them. With Jagga Jasoos under his hand, he had to follow this terminology but with that, he didn't want to let Jagga go without being killed. So, he planned an extra-ordinary system.
Shakal asked Jagga Jasoos to speak one statement.
1) If Shakal found it to be true, Shakal will hang Jagga Jasoos to death.
2) If Shakal found it to be false, Shakal will shoot Jagga Jasoos with sniper rifle.
In both the ways, Jagga Jasoos was supposed to be dead at the end of the process. But, Shakal didn't know that this process had a loophole. And, Jagga Jasoos was able to find that loophole after a brain-storming of ten minutes. And, Jagga was ready with the statement at the end of tenth minute, which will force Shakal to let him go without killing.
Now, you are here to solve this mystery of Jagga Jasoos' statement. What Jagga Jasoos would have said that saved his life? It is only one line statement. And, the mystery will be solved with the help of simple logic. No rocket science is involved. Solve this mystery.

Jagga Jasoos #9

Hello Logic Lovers. I am getting responses from your side saying that the puzzles asked in this season are a bit tough. For that sake, I have decided to ask this puzzle, which is quite easy. Solve this one.
Jagga Jasoos is today in the pink city of India - Jaipur. A very wealthy man was murdered on the most peaceful day of the year - 2nd October, 2013. I personally can not believe how a person can murder someone on such a peaceful day. Anyway, back to the puzzle.
This man was murdered during afternoon and his wife had called the police at 3:23 PM. The news of this murder had been spread throughout the country by the mediums of Radio and Television. Public had started demanding to hang the killer on this day itself. Police department was under pressure from top level politicians and thus they decided to take Jagga Jasoos with them on the crime scene. And as always, Jagga Jasoos was able to catch the killer within minutes.
What happened when Police reached at the crime scene:
Jagga Jasoos asked police to find evidences near the dead body. (Actually he asked them to do this so that he can directly question to all the suspects.
On being asked about their whereabouts at the time of murder, the answers of each of them are:
Wife said,"I was sleeping in my bedroom for the last two hours."
Son said,"I went for movies with my girlfriend in Big Cinemas. I can show you the tickets for them, too."
Neighbour:"I went for the marriage of my brother-in-law in nearby party plot. I had returned from there just now."
Driver:"I went to withdraw cash.So I didn't know anything about this murder until I returned here."
Cook:"I went to wine shop near Railway Station  to buy wines that Sahib had ordered."
Gardner:"I was in the garden the whole time. I was busy finishing the everyday cutting of the plants parts. I didn't hear any shout or anything during that time."
Watchman:"I went to my friend's home for congratulating him on his new job at Sawai Jaysingh Palace."

After finishing talk with all the suspects, Jagga was ready to declare the name of the killer. You are here to tell who the killer was. And what was the reason behind catching the killer?
All the best to you all. A Piece of Cake for you all Logic Lovers.

Jagga Jasoos #8

Jagga Jasoos had solved many crime cases which were just out of the world. Some cases included Ghosts, certain cases asked Jagga to fight against Dark magic. Today, I am here with one certain case happened in which Dark magic was used on two Witnesses. This case though is related with dark magic, it can be solved with the use of simple logic and simple brain storming.
How the incident happened:
One day, in a village named, Kulgadh, at the midnight, on the cross roads, the murder happened. One couple was walking from there and saw an old aged man killing his friend with the help of a knife. Then, suddenly this knife got disappeared. Suddenly, this man saw that couple seeing all these happenings. He went near them, couple was frightened. As, they both had seen the thing, he applied dark magic on them. Now, from this couple, one of them will speak only lie and the other will speak only truth. Till the mystery is solved, the investigators can ask only one question to each of this couple. And the question has to be same for both of them.
Now, after investigation of some evidences, police had narrowed down the list of suspects to two persons. One was, that old man who had murdered. And the second was son of the person who was murdered.
Now, police were unable to reach to the culprit. So, they asked Jagga Jasoos to help them solve the case. As, the investigators were supposed to ask only one question to couple, they have to think deeply about which question to be asked. Jagga and Police didn't know which member of this couple speaks only truth and which member speaks only lies.
Jagga asked one question to both of them and with the help of the answer, the police was able to find the killer. Now, you being the true Logic Lovers, have to find that question which Jagga had asked to couple. And, what would have been the answers from both of them. This puzzle is brand new in the market so no matter how much will you surf on the Internet, you won't be able to find this puzzle. So, solve on your own and come with the logic.

Number of Socks

Power cut is the worst nightmare to have when you are supposed to reach to your job early morning. When, there is still dark outside and you don't have any resources to help yourself be ready in the dark. This puzzle makes us remember, one such kind of incident, which may happen to any of us. One morning, you wake up to find out that power is out and you are supposed to reach office early in the morning. So, there is no other option but to dress up in the dark. Now, for clothes and all, you can choose with the help of feel. But, socks are all same in terms of material. You have to pick a pair of similar colour of socks for work. Now, you have eight black sock and twelve brown socks in your cupboard. And, as you are not one of the most orderly person on the mother Earth, all the socks are jumbled up. So, how many socks will you need to pick, so you can have at least one pair of socks of same colour.

The above question was quite easy one. You just have to give it a thought of a minute or two, and you will be able to reach to the answer. But, continuing with the same thought process, I ask you one more question:
There are 12 black, 14 brown, 16 white, 10 green and 18 purple socks in your cupboard. How many minimum socks you have to take out, so that you can have at least one pair of same coloured socks.

This question also seems easy. So, now, third question has same number of socks as above mentioned. Now, you are supposed to take two pairs of socks(one for you and one for your colleague) Now how many minimum number of socks, you need to take out so that you can have two pairs of socks.(Each pair of two with the same colour, both these pairs can have different colours.)

Now, come to the last question of this kind of puzzle. Think that you have to take two pairs of the socks of the same colour. (ie, both pairs of white socks, or both pairs of brown socks) Now, number of socks available is same as above. (14 brown, 12 black, 16 white, 10 green, 18 purple). So, what is the number of socks required to pull out, to get these two pairs of same coloured socks.

Pirates Puzzle

Today, we are going to have a puzzle about Pirates who had gone for the search of Gold coins.
There were five pirates in all and each one was of different age than others. With, the luck favouring and their hard work, they were able to get a hundred Gold Coins. But, the moment they were returning to the shore, they started fighting on who got how many gold coins. Some said, they had worked harder and found more gold coins than others, so they were supposed to get more than those who hadn't worked with their complete capabilities.
So, to solve this conflict, they decided to split the coins using this scheme.
The oldest and the wisest pirate suggested that all pirates would vote for or against the sharing of the coins. If the pirate suggesting the sharing gets 50% or more agreement, then the coins will be shared that way. If the pirate suggesting the scheme gets less than 50% agreement in voting, that pirate will be thrown in the sea and then the same procedure will be carried on with the remaining pirates. As, pirates are thirsty for blood, if they are getting the same amount of gold coins in both the cases - voting for the acceptance of the scheme as well as voting against the scheme, then that pirate will vote against the procedure, as in that case, he gets to throw a pirate in the sea. Now, the sequence of suggesting the schemes will be from oldest to youngest. 
Now, assume that all these pirates are wise, smart and completely logical towards their profits. And definitely no one wants to die. Then, what will be the outcome of this process? How many pirates will die and how many will stay alive? What are the number of gold coins, everyone will get in the accepted scheme?
The puzzle demands more of a logic than several other puzzles. I have rated this puzzle in one of the toughest puzzles. I recommend you all to try your best to come up with the answer by yourself. The puzzle is completely logical but a bit tough.

Numbers Test

We all being Logic Lovers, seem to have some out of the world relation with numbers. We behave as if numbers are talking to us. We feel modifying numbers and twisting numbers - an art as well as an adventure. So, for this kind of interest, I am here with some questions regarding the numbers, which with the help of simple logic, you will be able to answer. The questions, I am going to ask today will surely twist your brain nerves. These questions are mere IQ questions, but some of these questions require extended thinking, which is not so common in general audience. So, not wasting too much time, I directly come to the questions.
-> What are the number of squares present on the chess board? To clarify the question, we see 32 black and 32 white squares on the chess board. But, by combining certain squares, we start getting bigger squares too. ie, squares of 2 X 2, 3 X 3 and so on. So, you are supposed to answer the total number of squares, we can get on the chess board.
-> There is a cuboid given with length l, breadth b and height h. Now, by stretching on these three dimensions, I create another cuboid. I increase the length of cuboid by 10%,, breadth of cuboid by 15% and height of cuboid by 20%. You are supposed to tell me the change in the volume of this cuboid. Now, consider a cube with all three dimensions, L, L and L. Now, if I increase these three dimensions by 10%, 15% and 25%. What is the change in the surface area of this cube?
-> In the world of natural numbers, there are three numbers as such, the addition of these three numbers is equal to the multiplication of these numbers. What are these three numbers?

These three questions can be used to measure your command on the numbers.
These percentages are defined with the help of a survey on fifty persons taken of different genre. So, it can be used on a larger scale too.
Some other number puzzles for you all, from my collection of puzzles:

ie,
1. If you get all three questions correct, you are thorough with the concepts related to numbers.
2. If you get two out of three questions correct, you are better than 95% of the general audience.
3. If you get one question correct, you are better than 75%  of the general audience.

If you reach to answers, comment those answers below this post. I am eager to know your capabilities. You can also ask these questions to your friends with the help of Sharing options available. All the best to you all. I am looking forward to your answers.

Jagga Jasoos #7

Jagga Jasoos was currently visiting Australia for spending time with his friend Darren Lehmann. They both had met during world cup 2007, when Bob Woolmer was murdered. Jagga Jasoos was theere for investigation purposes. This time, Lehmann was serving as the coach of Australian cricket team. Lehmann had asked all the team players to remain present at the dinner as his friend was coming to visit him. Being asked about his friend, Lehmann told that Jagga Jasoos is a famous detective, who is able to solve any murder or theft cases within moments of time. When, Lehmann told them about hundred percent success rate of Jagga Jasoos, no one was ready to accept this fact. So, three of those team members decided to test Jagga Jasoos on the dinner. These three include, Clarke, Warner and Lee. What these three did, they stole bat, a stump and helmet of their coach Lehmann.
At the time of dinner, Jagga Jasoos arrived on time. There, Darren Lehmann was looking sad as three of his items were stolen by his own team players. Lehmann knew that these items were stolen by three players - Warner, Clarke and Lee. Plus, Lehmann told Jagga Jasoos that each of these three had stolen a single item. Jagga came across these three players for investigation.
Clarke said, "Warner had stolen bat."
Lee said, "Warner had stolen helmet."
Warner said, "They both were lying."

Now, Watson, being a team player and well aware of these three persons' nature, decided to help Jagga Jasoos. Watson told Jagga Jasoos, "The person who stole a stump is lying.  And the other two are speaking complete truth."
Jagga Jasoos, with the help of this clue, was able to tell what each of these three players had stolen. How can Jagga Jasoos surely tell about complete theft process, just with the help of these statements?
Put yourself into this task and tell the answers about the whole theft process.
I will wait for your answers. As you all know, there is a competition going on, I ask you all to mail me your answers. So, no one gets an extra advantage. You can also mail me to know the correct answers.

Car Number of Hardy

There can be no person in this logic world, who does not recognize the person named: Srinivasa Ramanujan. Ramanujan was one of the best mathematicians, who devoted his life to mathematics and is known for his research regarding prime numbers, theta functions and master theorems. This puzzle is about one incidence that happened in his life.
Ramanujan was once ill and was admitted into a hospital. There was another mathematician Hardy came to visit him. Hardy knew the interest of Ramanujan in the numbers. So, he kept the taxi number he used to arrive hospital in mind. After seeing Ramanujan he asked about this number. Hardy said: "I find this taxi number #### somewhat dull. Is this a bad omen to travel in a taxi, which is numbered ####? Can you tell me anything special about this number?"
Though being on hospital bed, Ramanujan was quick in replying the special characteristic about this number. He said:
"This is the first natural number, which can be written as a sum of two  cubes of natural numbers in two different ways."

Though Ramanujan told about the characteristic by seeing the number. I here, ask you to tell me the number with the help of the clue given by Ramanujan himself. Which can be the first number that can be written as sum of two cubes in two different ways."
This puzzle is a very interesting one and a very famous one. This number #### is also known the 'Hardy-Ramanujan Number".
With this, I leave you for brain-storming for finding this special number. All the best to you all Logic Lovers.

Jagga Jasoos #4

Jagga Jasoos was on a trip to Khajjiar - Mini Switzerland near Simla. To spend a free time after a hectic month of solving too many crime scenes, was there to enjoy the leisure time with friends. They were staying at Hotel Calapsis. The manager of Hotel Calapsis didn't charge anything to Jagga and his friends, as JJ had helped the manager in the suicide(so called) case of a middle aged man. That was the main reason to visit Khajjiar today, but for enjoying - not solving crime mysteries.

As, I mentioned the case Jagga had solved recently during his previous visit to Khajjiar, I would give this case to you all for testing your brain skills.

2nd January, 2013 was the date. The month of  winter, when there is rush of tourists in Khajjiar. Mr. Brihaspati was staying in the room - 1408. On the night of 2nd January, he committed suicide. And, in this peak season of tourists, the police had asked Hotel Calapsis, to not entertain any more customers until the case is solved. By this, hotel manager was worried for the loss possible to occur to their business, called Jagga Jasoos to help the police in solving the case.

Jagga arrived at the crime scene , realized that police hadn't touched anything as they were waiting for him only and saw Mr Brihaspati lying on the floor of the room 1408, completely lifeless. In his one hand, there was a gun and on the other hand - a tape recorder. When, Jagga played the recorder, he heard Brihaspati's voice. He was saying:

"I am tired of this hectic and boring life. I have been lonely since last three years. So, I decide to relieve myself from these worldly pains. I do it on my own, no one else is at the blame." After hearing this, Jagga Jasoos told the policeman that the case is not of suicide. This guy is murdered. And, with the help of finger prints on the recorder, police reached to the killer.

How could Jagga Jasoos clearly say that Mr Brihaspati did not commit suicide and was murdered. Put yourself in the shoes of Jagga Jasoos and try to solve this mystery. Make your brain work for the solution.


With that, I leave you all to this brain exercise. See you all, till the next puzzle comes.

Jagga Jasoos #2

It was a dark and stormy night. A couple was travelling to Kolkata. The radio was on and news were going on.

Voice from Radio said: The mass murderer Abhikrut Sen had broken the prison thirty minutes ago. This murdered can be anywhere near Kolkata, wondering on the road. It is completely risky to roam on the roads right now. All the people, on the way near Kolkata, go and find shelter as soon as possible. One particular attribute of Abhikrut is that, he murders the victim by stabbing in the neck itself.

But, as Murphy's law says: If anything can go wrong, it will.

Front tire of the car got punctured. Husband had to go to some distance to find mechanic. He asked his wife to sit in the car itself and not move out of it in any circumstance. He asked his wife to keep all the doors of car locked and windows shut.

His wife did exactly what he asked to. But, still Abhikrut saw her in the car and managed to stab her to death. The car was locked. The front tire was punctured. All windows shut. How could have Abhikrut got the chance to stab her in the neck?


All the best to you all LLs. Test your brain as much as possible and get to the answer - the correct one. ;)

Jagga Jasoos #1

Jagga Jasoos - the famous detective for the world of crime solving. The one, who solves the murder mysteries within the moments of time and has a success ratio of 100 percent till date. He is here - with an incident happened with him.

Jagga Jasoos presents the first mystery of this season: 

(And an easy one to start with)

Jagga reviewed the information they had on the case so far. We are talking about the case of a lady murdered in her home. This incident happened when Jagga had been famous for his crime solving capabilities. And, there were many out there, wanting to challenge his skills.


Incident:
A lady named 'Monalisa' was found shot and Jagga Jasoos was ready with a list of suspects:
Rooney, Torres, Dabid, Messi, Ronaldo.
(It is for sure that, murdered is one of these guys.)
Killer was jealous of Jagga's skills and challenged Jagga Jasoos by leaving messages at certain places. 

-> The first was found in a drawing room.

-> The second was found in an art room.
-> The third was found in a bed room.
-> The fourth was found in an ice-cream room.
-> The fifth was found in the desk room.

All the clues found had the same thing written: "There are clues in front of your eyes. You just need some brain workout to reach to me."


Jagga Jasoos just paused for a moment and then arrested the killer immediately. Who was the killer and how did he reach to the culprit within a fraction of time."


All the puzzles of this season are based on mere logic. There are no complex concepts wrapped with the puzzles.


I hope you are finding these puzzles thought provoking. To try some more of this kind, go through this:

Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock at his best

Sherlock Holmes, the famous detective who is ready to solve any murder mystery within a fraction of time is here with one incident.

Sherlock was walking down the streets in the morning,, when he found many people were gathered at a cross roads. They were murmuring about what could have happened. Sherlock goes to the centre of the crowd and found a woman's dead body. Before attempting to check for clues, he asked others whether they had taken anything lying from here or not. As answers came, no one had tried to temper the contents near the body and no one had touched this woman's body.

Sherlock, after examining the contents of the purse lying beside that woman, found her license. Her name was Annabelle. Sherlock called her residence with the help of the number present on the license. The conversation goes like this:
Sherlock: Your wife is dead.
Husband: No way. How can this happen? 
Sherlock: Please come and confirm the dead body's identity.
Husband: Ok.
Call was over.

After certain minutes passed, husband arrived at the location and found the dead body and started crying after seeing his wife lying on the road. 
Sherlock looked at the police- who had arrived at the location and asked them to arrest the husband as he was the murderer.

How can Sherlock surely know that husband himself had murdered his wife? Simple logic is lying there, in the contents of the puzzle. Go and find it. Give your brain a healthy workout. I know you can solve this murder mystery. If Sherlock can, then why can't you.
With that, I leave you to this puzzle. Solve it and come with the answer. See you all. And for the sake of a suspense creation, I leave with the comment: " We are introducing a new character with certain number of puzzles - waiting for you to be solved.  A new genre and new excitements are on way."
