0 votes
291 views

There is a special auditorium that holds 100 people. It is not full. Each person claps seven times after a performance. Every time ten claps are heard, the man in the front twitches. Every third twitch, one of the actors hops. Every two hops, a person in the crowd cheers. Every four cheers, the actors bow. If they only bowed once, what is the least amount of people that can be in the auditorium?

BONUS! How many bows will the actors do if the auditorium is full?

Kirti and Preeti are liars. They both lie on some specific days.

Kirti lies of Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. She speaks truth on all other days.

Preeti lies on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. She speaks truth on all other days.

Can you tell that one day of the week when both of them will say "Tomorrow, I will lie."?

Eliminate all the days of the week except for one, and to be forthright about it, this day is NOT the day after Sunday or the day before Wednesday. It can't be that Saturday is tomorrow, nor can it be that Saturday was yesterday. It most certainly couldn't be two days before yesterday, and while we're at it, let's eliminate Thursday.

What day is it?
