The Shen Express


Harry would see seven "Shen Express" trains go past in the opposite direction.
Let's say that
Harry travelled on the "Shen Express" on Wednesday 10:00PM from Ronville. The first train he would have crossed is the one scheduled to arrive at Ronville at 11:30 PM the same day i.e. the one that left Gothamville at 10:00 PM on last Sunday.
He will pass 7 other trains before arriving at his destination. The first, he will see approximately 45 minutes after departure. Then he will see one train approximately every 12 hours for three days. This is because the trains leave from each end of the track once every 24 hours travelling toward each other.
Also, he would have crossed the last train just before reaching Gothamville on Saturday.

Thus,
Harry must have crossed 7 "Shen Expresses" during his journey.

Chris's Birthday

  If today is January 1st, and December 31st was Chris' birthday and she turned 8, and on December 30 Chris was 7, and this year Chris will turn 9, then next year Chris is turning 10.

X-Men

  Cyclops. Why? Because the other names don't have any repeated letters

The Most Intelligent Prince

  White. The king would not select two white hats and one black hat. This would mean two princes would see one black hat and one white hat. You would be at a disadvantage if you were the only prince wearing a black hat. If you were wearing the black hat, it would not take long for one of the other princes to deduce he was wearing a white hat. If an intelligent prince saw a white hat and a black hat, he would eventually realize that the king would never select two black hats and one white hat. Any prince seeing two black hats would instantly know he was wearing a white hat. Therefore if a prince can see one black hat, he can work out he is wearing white. Therefore the only fair test is for all three princes to be wearing white hats. After waiting some time just to be sure, you can safely assert you are wearing a white hat.
