A camel hair broker buys from locals and sells back to merchants. The broker never buys for himself, but upon receiving an order to buy, finds someone who wishes to sell, and charges 2 percent commission to each of them, thereby making 4 per cent on the transaction.

However, by juggling with his old fashioned balance scale that uses weights, he always manages to add to his profit by cheating!

Upon receiving a consignment of camel’s hair he placed the same upon the short arm of his scales, so as to make the goods weigh one ounce light to the pound, but when he came to sell it he reversed the scales so as to give one ounce to the pound short, and thus made $25 by cheating.

On one particular occasion, he makes $25 by cheating in the weight, as he buys a bundle of camel hair with a weight 1 ounce too heavy and sells with one 1 ounce too light.

In this case, how much does he pay for the goods?

Here’s something a little different from what normally gets posted at Smartkit, and if you’re a movie buff, I think you’ll like this one:

There are 100 film references in the picture puzzle below; how many can you figure out?

To make it interesting, how about each commenter leave only 1 or 2 films per comment? [comments entered will go live immediately]

Thanks!

A bit easier this time:

Once you get what the middle picture is for this one, use it again in Gray-T’s puzzle below (Mannekin Pis) and the answer should be clearer

Here’s a neat logic-type puzzle that we haven’t put up before; it’s known as an ‘ABC Puzzle’:

Place the letters A,B,C and 2 spaces in each row and column. Each row and column must contain that exact combination-kind of like sudoku.

The letters around the square indicate what must be the 1st letter to appear in that row or column. So the ‘C’ above the last column means that ‘C’ appears 1st in that column, so you know the 1st cell in that column must be a ‘C’ or a space.

He said I was beautiful, he did, I assure you; and I know he was right, for my skin was as soft as satin, and white like ivory, my figure slender and elegant.

Our first meeting was in a shop, and he made no attempt to disguise his admiration. He praised me up to the skies and called me “very dear.” From that day and for many months we were inseparable. I occupied all his thoughts.

Again and again he gazed with indescribable affection at my wonderful complexion, my graceful figure, and pressed me to his lips.

His embrace was tenderness itself, and whenever some trifling accident marred my beauty-if only for a day-his anxious solicitude knew no bounds. At night I rested on velvet pillows, and by day I accompanied him wherever he went.

He always enjoyed my society, even when nothing else afforded him pleasure.

He would turn to me, and not in vain, for comfort and relief when all other friends proved faithless. Oh! why was it not fated to be ever thus?

Alas! one day in a public thoroughfare I had a heavy fall, and, though it was through his fault, I was never the same to him as before. This cruel misadventure fairly broke me down. True, he endeavored afterwards to make amends for his harsh treatment.

He treated me with the greatest consideration and loaded me with silver; but the light of former days had gone out.

He tried to leave me as before, but in vain; his feelings had undergone a complete change, and now I am nothing but a miserable wreck of my former self.

Here I lie, all alone in my sorrow, a forsaken, broken —-?

The seven figures below form a series. However, one of the five numbered sequences doesn’t fit.

Can you figure out which one doesn’t belong?

The sequence question above relies heavily on your working memory. Interestingly, the extent of your working memory tends to correlate with IQ test performance. About a year ago we had a brain game made that exercises & tests your visual working memory; you can play it here.

We’ve been working hard on getting the Smartkit Forums ready. Come Monday, we’ll officially open them up. You’ll be able to:

• post some of your own puzzles
• play forum games
• pick the brains of other smartkit members

OK, here’s Thursday’s challenge. Can you figure it out?

Three students, each carrying an equal number of apples, were met by 9 teachers, who asked for some of them. Each student having given to each teacher the same number, it was then found they had all equal shares. How many had the students at first?

Will unmask submitted answers Monday morning, right before we make the forums live.

Five photographers have entered a photography competition. Can you work out the subject of each photograph taken by each of the five, together with the make of the camera and the filter they used to take their shot?

1- The women don’t use F-stop cameras. The Focuswell fan used a polariser filter.

2- Colin takes still life shots, never with a Polariser or an F-stop camera.

3- Jodie took a picture of some birds using a sunset filter, while Marcus used a rainbow filter.

4- Jacqui used a soft focus filter. The F-stop user took a landscape photo; Jodie lovers her SlickShoot camera.

5- The Aperture camera was used to take the portrait photo.

It maybe be helpful to print out the grid and table above.

Use the 1st grid to help solve the puzzle. As you read through the clues, place a ‘Y’ (yes) or ‘N’ (no) in each box, depending on whether the intersecting elements are true or not.

You can use the bottom table to place your answers.

These types of logic puzzles are another great way to improve your thinking skills; If you’ve never solved one before, and would like some additional help, here are some detailed instructions you can read through.
