Two ladies were detained by security officers at an airport—one of whom claimed to be a computer scientist and one of whom claimed to be a geographer. One of them was secretly a smuggler!
A security officer asked the supposed computer scientist, “Do you know about the Gava computer program?”. The woman answered, “Do you mean Java?”.
The security officer then asked the supposed geographer, “Have you ever been to the capital of Spain, that is, Granada?”. The geographer said, “Yes! It’s a beautiful city!”.
Who was the smuggler?
The geographer was the smuggler.
Explanation:
The capital of Spain is Madrid, not Granada. A true geographer would know this. Her incorrect response reveals that she is pretending to be a geographer, making her the smuggler.
Three hens lay three eggs in three days. How many eggs do 15 hens lay in 15 days?
75 eggs.
Explanation:
If three hens lay three eggs in three days, then one hen lays one egg in three days.
In 15 days, one hen will lay five eggs (since 15 ÷ 3 = 5).
Therefore, 15 hens will lay 15 × 5 = 75 eggs in 15 days.
