Got money, got 7 sons !

An old Man has some savings X.

He has 7 sons.

When he divides the Money equally between two sons one dollar is left

If he divides between three sons equally then too one dollar note is left

Similarly if he divides it equally between four, five and six sons, one dollar is left.

BUT if he divides it between seven sons equally then nothing is left.

And the obvious question is, how much money he had in the savings ?

The "Impossible" Puzzle

This puzzle is for those who are aware of the "Mock Turtle"

This is the story of a squid called Sebastian, who ran out of ink. He called his friend, Archibald, who was an octopus, and asked him to buy some more Ink from the printers. So along went Archibald. "That will be 67 pence," said the shopkeeper, as he handed over the bottle of sea blue Ink. Archibald got out his wallet, counted out the money, and handed it over.

But at the end of the day, when the printer counted up his change, he found he was short by 12 pence. "I've been robbed," he cried! A Mock Turtle from the local constabulary was called in, but entertained grave doubts as to whether Archibald really was a thief. "I was at school with the old fellow," he said, "and he never could get the hang of different branches of Arithmetic."

As everyone knows, the different branches of Arithmetic are Ambition, Distraction, Uglification and Derision.

But was the Mock Turtle right about Archibald? Or is his information just a red herring?

Editor's note: There are indeed some red herrings


* And yes Archibald is not a thief

Sheeps and Three sons

A guy is owner of a certain number of sheeps for god's sakes and also the father of three sons who for some reason are expert logicians. So here comes the question.Clever as you are will think to yourself, now all this guy needs is to believe he's about to die so that he can make a will to divide the sheeps among the sons, right? Right, Except He calls them together (the sons, not the sheeps) and tells them how many sheeps (not sons) he owns AND Adds that

1. The eldest will inherit the most sheeps
2. The youngest the least
3. Nobody having more than 10 sheeps, which as we all know is a crime.
4. He then whispers in each son's ear how many sheeps he personally will inherit.

After that he proceeds from the eldest to the youngest, asking each ALOUD if he can calculate how many sheeps each of his brothers will inherit and each replies, "NO". He does it again and again each replies, "No" But then the eldest son on being asked the question once more says, "Yes, each of the last two 'noes' (that's the plural of 'no') gave me some information, and I now know (no plural of 'knows') how many sheeps each of us will inherit." What's the bet you're already wondering how may sheeps each son will get?

QUESTION IS HOW MANY SHEEPS EACH ONE WILL GET ?
