B
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is B (ihren) as claimed. The sentence means: 'Today the guests are coming to our house. We serve ___ (their) coffee and cake.' 'Ihren' is dative plural possessive 'their' referring to die Gäste (the guests). Euer (your), sind (are), mir (me) don't fit grammatically.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
If A is a boy and says 'I am a boy', he is telling the truth. If B is a girl and says 'I am a girl', she is telling the truth. Since the prompt states 'at least one lied', they cannot both be telling the truth. If they both lied, A is a girl and B is a boy.
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The question contains a typo in the premise (the hour hand moves 0.5 degrees per minute), but based on the math: 1/60 * 60 minutes = 1 degree. Thus, 1 is the logical answer for the provided rate.
At a restaurant downtown, Mr. Red, Mr. Blue, and Mr. White meet for lunch. Under their coats they are wearing either a red, blue, or white shirt.Mr. Blue says, "Hey, did you notice we are all wearing different colored shirts from our names?" The man wearing the white shirt says, "Wow, Mr. Blue, that's right!" Can you tell Mr. RED wearing what color shirt?
C
Correct answer
Explanation
If the white-shirted man responds to Mr. Blue, he can't be Mr. Blue himself or Mr. White (his name doesn't match his shirt). So the white-shirted man is Mr. Red. Therefore, Mr. Red is wearing the WHITE shirt. By elimination: Mr. White wears blue, Mr. Blue wears red. This is a classic logic puzzle.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
When gears are meshed in a row, adjacent gears rotate in opposite directions. Gear 1 (clockwise) drives gear 2 (counter-clockwise), which drives gear 3 (clockwise), then gear 4 (counter-clockwise), and finally gear 5 (clockwise). Odd-numbered positions rotate the same direction as gear 1.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
In a 4-inch cube, each of the 12 edges has 4 cubes. Corner cubes have 3 painted faces (8 total). Edge cubes between corners have exactly 2 painted faces. Each edge has 2 such cubes (4-2 corners = 2). Total = 12 edges × 2 = 24 cubes with exactly 2 painted faces.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
To maximize pieces with 3 cuts, use the optimal strategy: Cut 1 creates 2 pieces. Cut 2, if intersecting cut 1, creates 4 pieces. Cut 3, if intersecting both previous cuts, creates 8 pieces. This is achieved when all three cuts intersect at different points, creating 2^3 = 8 maximum pieces. This is a classic combinatorial geometry result.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Working backwards: If he ends with 0 flowers after temple 3, and each pond visit doubles the flowers, let x be initial. After doubling: 2x, 2(2x-x), 2(2(2x-x)-x) = 0. Solving: x = 7. Or working backwards: 0 → 3.5 (before 3rd pond doubling) → 7 flowers before temple 3 offering. The minimum integer solution is 7.
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Dividing by half is the same as multiplying by 2. 40 / 0.5 = 80. Then, 80 + 10 = 90. A common mistake is to divide by 2 (40/2=20), which would lead to 30.
