Logical tasks for schoolchildren - 11 tasks for savvy

Task 1

There is a pan that can only hold two identical cutlets. But it is necessary to fry three cutlets in 3 minutes and take into account the fact that one side is evenly fried for 1 minute (to fry the cutlets you need on both sides). How to prepare patties so that they are evenly fried and delicious on both sides?

 

Show an answer
For 1 minute fry the first and second cutlet at once from one side. In the second minute, turn the first, and the second remove from the pan and put the third patty. At 3 minutes, remove the first, perfectly fried patty, put the second (roasted only on one side) and flip the third and thus, in 3 minutes in a pan for only two patties will be ready 3 patties.

 

Task 2

One day, the king decided to call his three court wizards and check them out. He said, I will have 5 caps, 2 snow-white and 3 black. You close your eyes, and I'll put your caps on, and you won't know what's on your head. But you will be able to see the caps of other magicians! When the king made these actions and asked for an answer, the wizards fell silent for a long time, and then one of them said: “I am wearing a black cap!” And he was really right. What's the matter?

 

Show an answer
We'll give the magicians serial numbers 1,2,3. Sorcerer number 1 and guessed he was wearing a black cap. How did he know that? It's very simple. The wizard number 1 reasoned that if I was wearing a white cap, then 2 the wizard would think that he was also wearing a white cap, since I could be wearing a white cap! And then 3 magicians would say he's wearing a black cap, but he doesn't, so I'm not wearing a white cap, I'm wearing a black cap. So I have a black cap!

There's a mom and a daughter. If you count the age of both, you get 77 years. Much more remarkable is the fact that if you change the age of one of them, you can get the exact age of the other. What will happen in the end?

 

Show an answer
There may be several answers, but the most realistic and logical is 52 years and 25 years.

 

Challenge 4

A young girl meets Griffin and Centaur in the forest. The Griffin lies every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and the rest of the days he tells the truth. But the Centaur lies every Thursday, Friday and even Saturday, and on other days refrains from lying. The griffin says to the princess, “Yesterday I lied!” and the Centauri says, “Yesterday I lied too!”

 

Show an answer
It's Thursday. You can understand this in the following way. On Sunday, both the Griffin and the Centaur don't lie, but it's not Sunday, because Griffin told the truth and he doesn't lie on Saturdays either. So, apart from the days of truth and lies, it's Thursday, because Griffin says he lied yesterday and it's true, and Centauri says he lied yesterday, and he lies on Thursdays, which proves it was Wednesday.
