Question 3

If today is Wednesday and the deadline is in exactly 10 days, on what day does the deadline fall?

Accepted Answer

Saturday

Answer

Wednesday + 10 days: Thu(1), Fri(2), Sat(3), Sun(4), Mon(5), Tue(6), Wed(7), Thu(8), Fri(9), Sat(10) = Saturday.

Question 4

A rule states items over 20 kg require two handlers. An item weighs exactly 20 kg. How many handlers are required?

Accepted Answer

One handler

Answer

The rule says 'over 20 kg', and exactly 20 kg does not exceed 20 kg, so one handler suffices.

Question 5

Three boxes contain red, blue, and green balls. Box labels are all wrong. Box labeled 'Blue' is opened and a green ball is found. What does the box labeled 'Red' contain?

Accepted Answer

Blue balls

Answer

Since 'Blue' box holds green, 'Green' box can't hold green and can't hold blue (label wrong), so 'Green' holds red; 'Red' box must hold blue.
