$ 90
$ 20 + $ 20+ $ 10 + $ 10 + $ 5 + $ 5 + $ 20 = $ 90

Can you find out which person bought which animal for which amount of money using these clues?

Three people bought a pet one day. Their names were Zach, Rachel, and Hubert. The animals they bought were a snake, a parrot, and a guinea pig. They bought their pets for $100, $50, and $25.

Can you find out which person bought which animal for which amount of money using these clues?

  1. Zach is allergic to birds.
  2. Hubert couldn't get the $100 pet, so he bought the snake.
  3. Rachel saved $10 a week for ten weeks in order to get her pet.
  4. The mammal was $25.

Should you choose the second box, or should you stick to your first choice to maximize the expected amount of money?

Someone shows you two boxes and he tells you that one of these boxes contains two times as much as the other one, but he does not tell you which one this is. He lets you choose one of these boxes, and opens it. It turns out to be filled with $10. Now he gives you the opportunity to choose the other box instead of the current one (and skip the $10 of the first box), because the second box could contain twice as much (i.e. $20).
