"Oh fudge!" said Zack! "I've forgotten my locker combination! Now I'm going to be late for class!"
"Relax," said Kyle. "What do you remember about it?"
"Well, as you know, each of the three numbers of my combination can be anywhere between 1 and 39 inclusive. I do remember each one was different and the sum of the first two numbers was 42."
"Okay, go on."
"And the last two numbers differed by only two. Oh yes, and all three numbers were primes."

With that, Zack was able to deduce his combination and open his locker.

Three people check into a hotel. They pay $30 to the manager and go to their room. The manager finds out that the room rate is $25 and gives $5 to the bellboy to return. On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that $5 would be difficult to share among three people so he pockets $2 and gives $1 to each person. Now each person paid $10 and got back $1.

Three men are led into a room blindfolded. They are told that either a red or green hat will be placed on each of their heads. A green hat is placed on each man's head. The blindfolds are removed. The men can see each of the others hats, but not their own. They are asked to raise a hand if they can see a green hat. All three raise a hand. They are told to leave the room as soon as they have worked out the colour of their own hat.
Man number 3 who is more astute than the other two leaves the room after a few minutes.
HOW did he logically work out the colour of his hat.

There are three light switches in the off position outside of a sealed room.
Only one of the switches turns the light inside the room on.
You have 5 minutes to work out which switch it is, WITHOUT peering in the room. (You CANNOT see light under the door or any tricks like that!)
After the 5 minutes you may enter the room and you must say which of the three switches it is.
If you are correct you get to live!
Which switch is it??
Careful please, I would hate to lose any friends!
Have fun
