Thanks George for your participation. The questions may look easy, but be warned-- they're designed to trip you up.
There is only one correct answer for each question; please choose ONE answer for question 2.
Regarding T’s mother surname, I like answer (E) but I will go with “none of the above” since there are another 22 possible characters in the English alphabet that could be true.
Nice game, I LOVE IT!
my answers are:
1- A
2- C
Regarding Mr. George's question, I choose:
C- G
Because T's name is Gasem and she works with her father Mr. 3ajaj AKA Abou Gasem, as a Falafel's 'Wrapper' (Lafafet Falafel) ;)
Any prizes?
Welcome Jihad to the game, what a great surname analysis!!! Absolutely you deserve Large Falafel wrap made by Mr. 3ajaj himself.
On the other hand, I am not sure how far you are from “Member of the Week” title!!
Guys; I wish I can particpate but since my wife is the master of these puzzels I am not allowed.
Riad.
1-c
2-b
I went through the statment and there is no tek in it.
That's true Ameera I noticed the trick
1-D
2-B
Since I'm T's father and I know her very well:
1- None of the above because 'T' doesn't have any children.
2- None of the above because 'T' aka Miss Gasem (my daughter) is a single successful woman, committed to her job (lafafet Falafel) mou7tarame.
Very interesting, we have different set of answers but do we have a winner?? Results will be announced on Tuesday.
Special thanks for Abou Gasem and his valuable input! He always disowns his grandchildren just because they don’t like his Falafel.
The title of “Member of the Week” goes to Mr. George Asfour. He was the first and only member to solve our 1st logic game (week1). Congratulations Mr. George.
Answers & Analytical Reasoning:
First question: The correct answer is (D), T has ONE Boy and TWO Girls.
The question tells us that two males and four females live in smaller houses than the brother; this include T, her mother, her father and her children. We already know the gender of T and her parents. Therefore we can conclude the number and gender of her children.
2 males – Father =1 boy
4 females – {T + Mother}=2 girls
Second question: The correct answer is (B). T has exactly 3 children.
Males = Females
(Father + Brother + 1 Boy) = (Mother + 2 Girls)
- Answer (A) cannot be correct.
Males = Females
(Father + Brother + 0 boy)!= (Mother + 4 girls)
(Father + Brother + 1 boy)!= (Mother + 3girls)
(Father + Brother + 2 boys)!= (Mother + 2 girls)
(Father + Brother + 3 boys)!= (Mother + 1 girl)
(Father + Brother + 4 boys)!= (Mother + 0 girl)
- Answer (C) cannot be true, the statement uses the word CHILDREN not child.
- Answer (D) cannot be correct
Males = Females
(Father + Brother + 0 boy)!=(Mother + 6 girls)
(Father + Brother + 1 boy)!=(Mother + 5 girls)
(Father + Brother + 2 boys)!=(Mother + 4 girls)
(Father + Brother + 3 boys)!=(Mother + 3 girls)
(Father + Brother + 4 boys)!=(Mother + 2 girls)
(Father + Brother + 5 boys)!=(Mother + 1 girls)
(Father + Brother + 6 boys !=(Mother + 0 girl)
- Answer (E) cannot be correct
Males = Females
(Father + Brother + 0 boy)!=(Mother + 2 girls
(Father + Brother + 1 boy)!=(Mother + 1 girl
(Father + Brother + 2 boys)!=(Mother + 0 girl)
