A blacksmith has many apprentices working for him, and as a reoccurring game, every so week one of them succeeds at forging a key to let loose his pet monkey. The monkey goes wild, throwing stuff and breaking things until the blacksmith finally recages him and puts on a different lock. The ordeal has become costly. The blacksmith scolds the apprintices and makes them do the monkey catching, and puts them to extra work. The apprentices do find the extra work bothersome, yet they continue to pick the locks, releasing the monkey. The blacksmith is at his wit's end. He makes more and more complex locks, but everytime, one of his apprentices succeeds in solving it. The blacksmith asks for your advice. What should he do? He doesn't want to sell his pet monkey, nor does he have another place for it to stay.
View AnswerLeave the key hanging on a string in front of the cage. The apprentices will no longer pick the lock. (It would no longer take any skill to release the monkey. If someone releases the monkey, it would be without bragging rights, and everyone would just be mad at him because of the extra work now required of them, ending the game and competition to see who could solve the next lock.) ALTERNATIVE: If the apprentices need more then a day to forge a key he could approach the problem like modern cryptography and change the lock more frequently. He shouldn't be in shortage of locks beeing a blacksmith.

It may sound impossible, but it's not. You wake up trapped in a round room with six doors. A voice over a loudspeaker tells you that five of the doors are booby-trapped and will bring instant death if you try to open them. Only one door provides an opening that will get you out safely. The doors are evenly spaced around the room. They look exactly alike. Your only clue is that on the wall between each pair of doors is a large letter of the alphabet. Going clockwise, the letters are H, I, J, K, L and M. Which is the correct door that will get you out ... and why?
View AnswerFirst, continue with the order of lettered walls, alphabetically and clockwise, writing the extra letters on the walls as well. Continue past Z with A. This gives you 4 Letters on 4 walls and 5 letters on 2 (the H and I walls). Then, draw a line between letters creating the words "Instant Death." like mentioned verbatim in the riddle. The only door surrounded on both sides by walls not touched by this line (I.e. Walls not containing any letters in "instant death") is the door between the letters J and K. This is the safe door.
