The Curious Case of the Missing Numbers! 🔍🔢

Puzzle:

In a small village, there are five houses in a row, each painted a different colour. The houses are numbered from 1 to 5. The house numbers are all mixed up, and your task is to figure out the number for each house based on the following clues:

• The green house is immediately to the right of the white house.

• The blue house is two houses away from the yellow house.

• The red house is number 3.

• House number 1 is not next to the blue house.

• The yellow house is not house number 5.

• Question: What are the numbers of each house based on these clues?

Solution Approach:

Start by placing the red house at number 3.

Use the clues to deduce the positions of the other houses.

Remember that the green house must be next to the white house, and the blue house is not next to house number 1.

The Case of the Sneaky Sweets 🍬

Puzzle:

There are three jars of sweets. One jar has only red sweets, another has only blue sweets, and the third jar has a mix of both red and blue sweets. Each jar is labelled, but all the labels are wrong. Your task is to figure out which jar has which sweets by picking just one sweet from one jar.

Question:

How can you determine the correct labels for each jar with just one sweet?

Solution Approach:

Pick a sweet from the jar labelled "Mixed."

If you pick a red sweet, that jar must be the "Red" jar (since all labels are wrong).

Use this information to deduce the correct labels for the other jars.
