Two schoolgirls were traveling from the city to a dacha (summer cottage) on an electric train.
“I notice,” one of the girls said, “that the dacha trains coming in the opposite direction pass us every 5 minutes. What do you think-how many dacha trains arrive in the city in an hour, given equal speeds in both directions?”
“Twelve, of course,” the other girl answered, “because 60 divided by 5 equals 12.”
The first girl did not agree. What do you think?

Riddle AnswerThere are three jars filled with candies. One jar is filled with banana candies, one jar is filled with lemon candies and one jar has a mix of both. All the jars are mislabelled (i.e. all the jars have wrong labels about what kind of candies they contain).
All the candies look very similar in shape, size and color and they even smell the same. The only way to distinguish them is by tasting.
You have to eat one and only one candy to determine the correct jar labels. You can eat that one candy from any jar you want as long as you eat only one in total.
