<span style=

<p>
<span style=
"font-family:MS Sans Serif ">This is usually for the Off topic List but I just checked and many are not registered on that list ....</span>
<p>
<span style=
"font-family:MS Sans Serif ">So here goes ... here are some questions from a well known company ... but don't cheat and search online ...try and think them through.</span>
<p>
<span style=
"font-family:MS Sans Serif "><b>Question 1</b></span>
<p>
<span style=
"font-family:MS Sans Serif ">You have eight balls all of the same size. Seven of them weigh the same. One of them weighs slightly more. How can you find the heavier ball by using a balance and only two weighings?</span>
<p>
<span style=
"font-family:MS Sans Serif "><b>Question 2</b></span>
<p>
<span style=
"font-family:MS Sans Serif ">Youre a pirate ship captain, and your crew gets to vote on how the gold is divided. If fewer than half the pirates agree with you, you die. How do you recommend apportioning the gold in such a way that you get a good share of the booty, but still survive?</span>
<p>
<span style=
"font-family:MS Sans Serif "><b>Question 3</b></span>
<p>
<span style=
"font-family:MS Sans Serif ">Every man in a village of 100 married couples has cheated on his wife. Every wife in the village instantly knows when a man other than her husband has cheated, but does not know when her own husband has. The village has a law that does not allow for adultery. Any wife who can prove that her husband is unfaithful must kill him that very day. The women of the village would never disobey this law. One day, the queen of the village visits and announces that at least one husband has been unfaithful. What happens?</span>

<span style=
