I thought I would start collecting some logic problems as I hear about them. They apparently come in handy in some interviews like MICROSOFT. Could be worth training your brain to think this way, or at least be able to switch to this mindframe when needed. :) For answers, email me. This is just a test to see how many people actually come to my page. Mwa ha ha.



There are 3 incorrectly labelled baskets: "apples," "oranges," "apples & oranges." Explain how you would be able to reach into a single basket, pull out one fruit, and relabel all the baskets correctly. [Courtesy of Josh, Gavin, and Mike.]


Two men are standing outside of a house. One man says to the other, "I have 3 daughters. I'll give you 2 clues, tell me how old each of them are." The clues are: #1) the sum of the girls' ages is the house number that they are looking at and #2) the product of the girls' ages is 36. The second man thinks for a while, then says, "There is not enough information. I need another clue." The first man says, "My oldest daughter has red hair." The second man is then able to correctly tell the first man the ages of his daughters.

What is the house number, and what are the girls' ages? [This is the one I had.]
