What is the weight of one brick?

Solve for x=1+(1/2)x

 

[rkkarnani]

Solve for x=1+(1/2)x

Maybe better to write like this, i.e. use 1Kg and not simply 1.

B= 1 Kg + 1/2 B where B=brick weight.

So B minus half B = 1 Kg so.......

My 1st post though

Answer is 2 kg!

Explanation : Brick weight is = one half of brick (1 kg) + one half of brick

so whatever weight is there at 1 kg, it is simply one half brick.

Question:

There are three boxes. One is labeled "APPLES" another is labeled "ORANGES". The last one is labeled "APPLES AND ORANGES". You know that each is labeled incorrectly. You may ask me to pick one fruit from one box which you choose.

How can you label the boxes correctly?

 

[MurAtt]

Pick one fruit from the "Apples and Oranges" box.

If you get Apple in hand then :
Orange box will have "Apples and Oranges" in them since it cannot contain oranges being criteria that incorrect labeling has been done and cannot contain apples since they are already in the "Apples and Oranges" box.
Apple box will have Oranges in them by elimination.

If you get Orange in hand then :
Apple box will have "Apples and Oranges" in them since it cannot contain Apples being criteria that incorrect labeling has been done and cannot contain Oranges since they are already in the "Apples and Oranges" box.
Orange box will have Apples in them by elimination.

Maybe the way I have written answer could be a bit confusing. Excuse pls.

Question: Lucky fall

George and Harry enjoy creating and solving puzzles. They also enjoy playing card games. On one occasion, George was shuffling the cards, a standard deck, when three cards fell out and landed face-down on the table. George picked up the cards and was about to return them to the deck when he noticed an interesting fact about them.

He said, "I have three cards here, Harry. As luck would have it, if I take the numerical value of each card and multiply the three values together, the result equals my lucky number. The highest card is a seven. What are the other two cards?"

Harry considered the problem for a few seconds and replied, "I suppose that an ace has a value of one, so each of your other two cards has a value lower than seven and possibly as low as one, right?"
"Right," confirmed George.
"Well," added Harry, "you haven't told me what your lucky number is, so I could only guess what the two cards are. I need more information to work it out."
"I see your difficulty," replied George, "so I will give you one more clue: the lowest card is a spade."
Harry pondered the problem again for a while, and then correctly identified the two cards.

What were they?
