Two men come before the king because one of their beloved pets has been claimed by the other. Both of these men claim that the same cow is theirs. The king declares that one of the men will get the cow and he will give the other man one of his cattle, just to be fair. He will decide which man gets which at random. One of the men thanks the king for his generosity but the other man does not accept the offer. One man leaves with the disputed cow.

Which man gets the cow?

The one who protests the king's offer must be the owner of the cow, because if it is his beloved pet he wouldn't let chance decide if he gets his cow or not.

The man that does not accept the offer of the king is actually the man that leaves with the disputed cow because he does not want to loose his pet.

The king dies and two men, the true heir and an impostor, both claim to be his...................Can you figure out why?

The king dies and two men, the true heir and an impostor, both claim to be his long-lost son. Both fit the description of the rightful heir: about the right age, height, coloring and general appearance.

Finally, one of the elders proposes a test to identify the true heir. One man agrees to the test while the other flatly re-fuses. The one who agreed is immediately sent on his way, and the one who re-fused is correctly identified as the rightful heir.

Can you figure out why?

Let's see how many clues I have to give you before you're able to figure out their ages. To make it easy, we'll deal in the whole years only. The question is, what are their ages next birthday?"
