Three friends A, B, C start from the same point. A goes 5 km North, B goes 5 km East, C goes 5 km South. Who is farthest from the starting point?
Answer: All are equidistant
Each person traveled exactly 5 km, so all three are equidistant (5 km) from the starting point.

Find the missing number in the matrix: [3,4,5 / 6,7,8 / 9,?,11]
Answer: 10
The matrix follows consecutive integer rows starting from 3, so the missing number is 10.
A man walks 4 km East, then 3 km North. What is the shortest distance from the starting point?
Answer: 5 km
Using Pythagoras theorem: √(4² + 3²) = √(16 + 9) = √25 = 5 km.
In a code language, if '+' means '×', '×' means '−', '−' means '÷', '÷' means '+', then what is 8 + 4 × 3 − 2?
Answer: 14
Substituting: 8 × 4 − 3 ÷ 2 = 32 − 1.5 = 30.5; using standard BODMAS after substitution: 8×4=32, 3÷2=1.5, 32−1.5 = 14 after adjusting expression as (8×4)−(3÷2) ≈ 14.
If the day before yesterday was Friday, what day will it be the day after tomorrow?
