John's five friends Rachel, Jacob, Phoebe, Joey and Chandler live on the same road.

Rachel lives in the house: A, Jacob lives in the house: B, Phoebe lives in the house: C, Joey lives in the house:D, Chandler lives in the house: E

Mathematically
B*C*D = 1260
B + C + D = 2E
2A = E

The road numbers run from 2 to 222.

Can you tell me the house number of each of John's friends?

A father told his three sons he would die soon and he needed to decide which one of them to give his property to. He said, “Go to the market and buy something large enough to fill my bedroom, but small enough to fit in your pocket. From this, I will decide which of you is the wisest and worthy enough to inherit my land.” They all went to the market, and each came back with a different item. The father told his sons to come into his bedroom one at a time and try to fill up his bedroom with their items. The first son came in and put some pieces of cloth he bought and laid them across the room, but it barely covered the floor. The second son came in and laid some hay on the floor, but there was only enough to cover half the floor. The third son came in and showed his father what he bought. He wound up getting the property. What did the third son show his father?

In a holy town, three temples sit in a row identical in almost every manner including a holy well in front of them. A pilgrim comes to visit the temples with some flowers in his basket.

At the first temple, he takes some water from the holy well and sprinkles it on the flowers to wash them. To his astonishment, the number of flowers in his basket doubles up. He offers a few of them at the temple and turns back to visit the second temple.

At the second temple, he again takes some water from the holy well and sprinkles it on the flowers to wash them. Again the number of flowers double up in number. He offers some of them at the temple and turns back to visit the third temple.

At the third temple, he repeats the process and the number of flowers doubles up yet again. He offers all the flowers in the third temple.

Now, the pilgrim offered the same number of flowers in all the temples. Can you find out the minimum number of flowers he must have had initially? How many flowers did he offer to god in each of the three temples?

There is a number which when you multiply by 3 and subtract 2 from the result, then the resulting number is the reverse of the actual number.

Cristina learnt how to ride a horse recently. Just to test her skills, she rode the horse from her home to a mine which she covered in three minutes and returned home from the same path only this time she took four minutes. The reason was that while riding away from home, she was supported by the wind however while riding back, she was riding against the wind.

How fast do you think she could have ridden a mile if there was no wind?
