Brain Teasers 1. Classic puzzle: There is a river. On one side a man is standing with a tiger, a goat and a bunch of grass. The tiger can kill the goat and the goat can eat the grass, when left alone. However, they are all safe when the man is present. The man has to transport each of them to the other side of the river on a boat. Now the boat can carry one item at a time along with the man. How will he do it and keep them all safe? 2. Mall puzzle: There is a big shopping mall and it has 4 gates (let's name them as gate A, B, C and D). Every time you come inside the big shopping mall, you have to pay Rs. 5 and every time you leave it, you again have to pay Rs. 5. Also unlike most shopping malls, whatever amount of money you carry with you inside, it doubles! For example if you carry Rs. 5, it will become Rs. 10. You have to go inside the mall through gate A, come out of B, again go inside through gate C and finally come out of gate D. Now, how much money should you carry inside the mall so that when you finally come out of the gate D, you should be left with no (zero amount) money? 3. A few quick ones: .
