    My next question!!

    There were three switches on one room and one light bulb on another separate room..One of the switch makes the light glow..

    A person wants to know which switch actuates the light bulb...but can only go once into the room where light bulb is present..

    How can he find out the required switch??

    Easy question...if you have alredy heard it pls dont spoil it for everyone!!

    warm bulb
    take goat from a to b; leave goat. (wolf + cabbage at a, goat at b)
    go back empty-handed from b to a.
    take cabbage from a to b; leave cabbage.
    take the goat already left at b back to a.
    leave goat at a, take wolf over to b (so cabbage + wolf @ b, goat at a)
    take goat over.

    Ok the answer for bulb problem!!

    First switch is switched on for some time...then it is switched off!!

    Second switch is then switched on...and the person enters the room where bulb is present..

    If the bulb is glowing then it is the second switch..else the person touches the bulb to see whether it is hot or not??

    If it is hot then first switch is the correct one...else third switch is the correct one!!

    My next question

    There is a 9 letter english word such that each time you remove one letter from the word it still remains a common english word.

    What is that word??

    Another question,

    One day a king chose a prisoner and said to him that he will let him free..if he passes the king's test!!

    There was a jar(not transparent)..it was fixed to the table it was on..

    King said said that the jar contained 2 marbles 1 black,1 blue..and if the prisoner chooses the blue marble he'll be let free...else executed!!

    But the wicked king put in 2 black marbles..so as not to let the prisoner free!!The prisoner saw this...

    He passed the test and was free..how did he win??

    You left out the part that they are in a court yard full of blue and black pebbles.

    Simply, the prisoner knocks over the jar, spilling the two black pebbles, and then replaces them with two blue pebbles, or a blue pebble and a black pebble, to improve his chances. And he wins.

    Or the other situation is that he knocks over the jar, spilling the pebbles, and picks up a blue pebble, declaring he has one.

    Or he spills the jar, and accuses the king of cheating.

    Either way, I think you left out an important part of this conundrum.

    Answer to my question

    First the prisoner would take one marble and swallow it(without letting anybody see it)..

    Then he will show the remaining marble..which would be black in colour..So everyone will think he chose the blue marble!!

    A man buys rice in Australia for $10.50 per kilo, transports it to Nigeria and then sells it for $1.25 per kilo.

    By doing this, he makes himself a millionaire.

    How?

    Not quite there. The currency type has been taken into account.
