Rich Merchant’s Gold Coins
A rich merchant had collected many gold coins. He did not want anybody to know about them. One day, his wife asked, “How many gold coins do we have?”
After pausing a moment, he replied, “Well! If I divide the coins into two unequal numbers, then 32 times the difference between the two numbers equals the difference between the squares of the two numbers.”
The wife looked puzzled. Can you help the merchant’s wife by finding out how many gold coins they have?
Riddle AnswerHerd of Cows
Old Farmer Palmer has a herd of cows, but he always seems to forget how many animals there are. When he counts them he just makes sure he can see 6 cows from each window of his house.
One night, however, Russell the Rustler took away half of the herd. Farmer Palmer didn’t notice for ages because the next morning he could still see 6 cows from each window. How was it done?
Riddle AnswerKing’s Proposal
A king finds a woman he wants to marry but she refuses. But since he is the king, she has no choice.
The king gives her a deal: he will write ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ on two pieces of paper. The papers will be put into a hat and she will choose one. If it says yes, then she will marry him, if it says no, then she will not marry him.
The only problem is that the king cheats by placing two pieces of paper that say yes into the hat, but the woman is the only one who sees this.
How can the woman avoid marrying the king?
