PUZZLE: A -[The Man in The Elevator]
A man lives on the tenth floor of a building. Every morning he takes the elevator down to the lobby and leaves the building. In the evening, he gets into the elevator, and, if there is someone else in the elevator - or if it was raining that day - he goes back to his floor directly. Otherwise, he goes to the seventh floor and walks up three flights of stairs to his apartment. How come?
PUZZLE: B -[The 3 Bulbs]
Imagine you are in a room with 3 switches. In an adjacent room there are 3 bulbs (let's say in lamps which are on a regular table), each switch belongs to one bulb. All are off at the moment. It is impossible to see from one room to another. No help from anybody else is allowed.
How can you find out which switch belongs to which bulb, if you may enter the room with the bulbs only once?

Can u tell two numbers whose product should be one Lakh?

There are a total of nine gems - all looking alike and with same colour and shape. The only thing is that there is only one real gem and it weighs more than the others. All the other Gems weigh equal.You are given a balance.You can use this balance for a maximum of two times and trace out the real gem which is little heavier than others. How would you do that ?

d) use 6 & 3 , out of the chosen 6 put 3-3 , if balanced then all 6 are unreal , then choose 2 out of the remaning 3 , if balanced again , then the nonchosen one is the real one. if not balanced the heavier is the real one. If 3 and 3are not balanced in the first place , choose 2 again from the heavier set. if both are balanced then the remaining is the real one.
