Logic Puzzles

Test your wit against these logic puzzles

1. Mary, Harry and Parmander worship Satan. One is in a serious relationship with a wild yak, because Satan would approve. Parmander takes walks through the park at night while listening to death metal. He is obviously foreign and a metal head from some country between Europe and the Middle East. Harry is totally goth and non conformist, he is too embarrassed to buy his own make up and asks his mother to do it. Which one of the three is a well respected doctor?

Answer: So this question is not too difficult but it does get your thinking juices flowing. Think of a cube, now cut that up into 16 smaller cubes and pack them into cylinder. You will find out that the Doctor is Parmander. As a boy he liked touching genitals and he found that he could touch people’s genitals as a doctor in a culturally appropriate environment.

2. You are in the Land of Knights and Knaves. Knights always tell the truth and Knaves always lie. You meet Wilfred and he says: "Cheerio you old goose, if you can guess correctly whether I am a Knight or a Knave you win treasure! What am I?"

Is Wilfred a Knight or a Knave?

Answer: He is a Knave, because no one wins anything in life by solving Knight and Knave puzzles.

3. You are in the land of knights and knaves. Knights always tell the truth, knaves always lie. You meet Rob and Todd.

Rob: His name is Rob and he is a knave.

Todd: No I’m not, I’m a sassy Brit. Girl powah!

Are they knights or knaves or both?

Answer: Todd is a knight and a brit, the girl powah reference should have made you think of the Spice Girls and their cockney accents. Implying that he speaks with a cockney accent like the spice girls. Also Rob lied and said that Rob is Todd and that implies that Rob is in fact a knave and since knaves must lie Todd must be the opposite of a knave. A 40 year old male, knight that listens to the Spice Girls.

4. Three logicians sat in a circle. No one knew how productive they were during the day or if they held an actual job. But everyone knew they had a maid that took care of them. One logician pooped in his diaper and started crying for his maid. The other said, “my maid should be here, where is my creamy éclair.” He was provided a creamy éclair and he bit into it. The cream filled éclair sprayed and some cream landed on the third logicians face who stood confused and waited for his maid to wipe the cream off his face. Which of the three logicians was wearing a clown wig?

Answer: So this one is quite tough. You have to make an assumption that the one logician who pooped in his diaper could not be wearing a clown wig because this assumption is made very randomly and for no purpose at all. That only leaves us with the other two logicians. You can approximate that both are sharing the wig to entertain each other because they don’t have better things to do during the day.
