Solved Puzzles

[spoiler=Puzzle Number 1 (08/03/08)]The Case and the Camera

While walking through a market on vacation, you notice a small stand selling cameras.

A camera-and-case set is selling for $310. The seller tells you that the camera costs $300 more than the case itself and that the case costs the price of the set minus the cost of the camera.

You decide you'd rather wait on buying a camera and opt to just buy the case alone.

You hand the seller a $100 bill and see his eyes light up. Think fast now!

How much change should you be getting back?

Answer

$95[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Puzzle Number 2 (08/06/08)]Mice Too Many

Mice are famous for their ability to multiply at breakneck speeds. The type of mouse we have here gives birth once a month, birthing 12 babies each time. Baby mice mature and can give birth two months after they are born.

You picked up one of these darling baby mice at the pet shop and brought it home the day after it was born.

In 10 months from now, how many mice will you have?

Answer

1 mouse[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Puzzle Number 3 (08/15/08)]The Aliens Are Puzzled

From high in the sky, a pair of aliens observes humans using a bizarre object. Perplexed, one alien turns to the other and says:

"How strange. The Earthling is opening a hole in a sheet of paper and marking it with a line to show the other Earthlings where the hole is. I've never seen anything like it!"

What could these extraterrestrial visitors be talking about?

Answer

Compass[/spoiler]

Since its been a long time without a fifth person answering... might as well close this case!
*drum rolls*

ANSWER: Place a newspaper between a closed door and let them stand on both sides.

Good job everyone! A door is the only thing you can stand between without letting the two kids touch each other. (Shower doors don't count. It would be "TOO" cruel for the one inside the shower. :xd: )

ooppppsss!
eto pala solution..haha

where
x= birds
y= puppies
---------------------------------------
EQ1: 2x + 4y =86
EQ2: 2x + 2y =60

simplify EQ2

2x = 60 - 2y

x= (60/2) - (2y/2)

x=30-y --> EQ2'

--------------------------------------
substitute EQ2' from EQ1

[2(30-y)]+4y=86
60-2y+4y=86
2y=86-60
y=26/2
therefore:
y=13 ---> No. of puppies

To get value of x, substitute value of y in EQ2

2x+2(13)=60
2x=60-26
x=34/2
therefore:
x=17 -->No. of birds
