Achmed and Ali are camel-drivers and on one day they decided to quit their job. They wanted to become shepherds. So they went to the market and sold all their camels. The amount of money(dinars) they received for each camel is the same as the total of camels they owned. For that money they bought as many sheep as possible at 10 dinars a sheep. For the money that was left they bought a goat.
On their way home they got in a fight and decided to split up. When they divided the sheep there was one sheep left. So Ali said to Achmed "I take the last sheep and you can get the goat". "That's not fair" said Achmed, "a goat costs lesser than a sheep". "Ok", Ali said "then I will give you one of my dogs and then we are even". And Achmed agreed.

Two friends, whom we will call Arthur and Robert, were curators at the Museum of American History. Both were born in the month of May, one in 1932 and the other a year later.

Each was in charge of a beautiful antique clock. Both of the clocks worked pretty well, considering their ages, but one of them lost ten seconds an hour and the other gained ten seconds an hour.

On one bright day in January, the two friends set both clocks right at exactly 12 noon.

``You realize,'' said Arthur, ``that the clocks will start drifting apart, and they won't be together again until---let's see---why, on the very day you will be 47 years old. Am I right?''

Robert then made a short calculation. ``That's right!'' he said.

Who is older, Arthur or Robert?

a man needs to go through a train tunnel. he starts through the tunnel and when he gets 1/4 the way through the tunnel, he hears the train whistle behind him. you don't know how far away the train is, or how fast it is going, (or how fast he is going). all you know is that
if the man turns around and runs back the way he came, he will just barely make it out of the tunnel alive before the train hits him.
if the man keeps running through the tunnel, he will also just barely make it out of the tunnel alive before the train hits him.
assume the man runs the same speed whether he goes back to the start or continues on through the tunnel. also assume that he accelerates to his top speed instantaneously. assume the train misses him by an infintisimal amount and all those other reasonable assumptions that go along with puzzles like this so that some wanker doesn't say the problem isn't well defined.
how fast is the train going compared to the man?
