Three Sportsman


Left: Tom, yellow, 5;
Middle: Jim, red, 7;
Right: Sam, blue, 6.

From clue 4, the red suit's number must be greater than Sam's number, and must be odd. By trial and error, the possible combinations are (3,2), (5,4), (7,3), (7,6).
From clue 1, the square can only be 324 or 576, where 3 or 7 is the red suit's number.
From clue 3, the square must be 576, and 5 is the yellow suit's number and 6 the blue one.
From clue 2, Tom must be the 5 and Jim the 7.

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.

What are we?

    The number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 0 on a US keyboard when you hold the shift button down.

Murder!!!

   Ans : 16 Name the 10 people with letters: A, B, C, ... and so on. A through F each call any one of G, H, I, or J (it doesn't matter which one). That makes six calls so far. Then G calls H and I calls J, after which G calls I and H calls J. Now we've used 10 calls, and G, H, I, and J all know everything. Finally, each of A through F is called by someone in G through J - 6 more calls to get everyone knowing everything. 16 calls in all.
