Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it,
Five in the middle is seen;
First of all figures, the first of all letters,
Take up their stations between.
Join all together, and then you will bring
Before you the name of an eminent king.

First light the fuse of 1 hour at both sides
and simultaniously light the fuse of 2 hours at one side
The first fuse will be gone in .5 hours. At that time you light the second end of the fuse of 2 hours. 1.5 remains on this fuse. This fuse will now burn in exactly 45 minutes

You have four unmarked bottles of pills each containing 100 tablets. One bottle of pills is poisoned. The good pills weigh exactly 1 gram a piece. The poisoned ones weigh exactly 1.1 gram a piece. You also have use of a scale, but can only use it one time. How can you determine with certainty which bottle of pills is poisoned?

9567+1085=10652

take 1 pill from bottle 1, 2 from 2, 3 from 3, 4 from 4, weigh them... if the poision is in bottle one, it will weight 10.1, 10.2 for bottle two, etc. etc.

Henry Miller and his wife, Ann, were teaching at the same college. Henry was a philologist and Ann a physicist. They were also joint treasurers and as such had control of the college's funds. At a recent annual audit it was found that a considerable sum was missing. Henry and Ann were interviewed by the police, then allowed to go home. The next morning the housekeeper arrived as usual. Finding the door to the bedroom closed and getting no response to her knock, she opened it and discovered their bodies, together with a typed note: "This was the only was out for Ann and I." The police officers were calling it suicide until one shook his head in disagreement. What aroused his suspicion?

Six glasses are in a row. The first three are full of juice; the second three are empty. By moving only one glass, can you arrange them so empty and full glasses alternate?

Henry would not have used incorrect grammar in the note. Therefore, Ann must have written the note.
