A cruel ancient spirit roams around a forest. One day, someone enters the forest and met the spirit. The spirit threatened to kill him, but he was allowed to escape by one circumstance. The spirit explained: “Tell me a sentence that is true but has a false fact within it.” What should you say?

Answer

You can say any sentence with a true fact, but the subject of the fact must be vaguely named. For example: “A scientist discovered that things were able to fall to another object due to gravity.” In this sentence, it’s obviously about how Isaac Newton discovered gravity, BUT his name wasn’t ‘A scientist.’ Sure, it’s a grey area, but it still works.

A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50."

The boy looked around and saw no scale so he agrees, thinking no matter what the carny writes he'll just say he weighs more or less.
In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?

Answer

The man did exactly as he said he would and wrote "your exact weight" on the paper.

There are two numbers that, when multiplied, give 10000, but neither of them contains a zero.
Which numbers are these?

Answer

16 and 625.

Factorize the number 10000: 10000 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 5. Neither of the two numbers can contain the combination 2 × 5, because then the last digit of the number is definitely a zero. So one number has to be 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16 and the other number 5 × 5 × 5 × 5 = 625.

A cake is split into two pieces. The larger piece from the initial cut is then split into four equal pieces. Let’s say the smaller piece from the first cut combined with two of the tiny pieces from the second cut forms 70% of the cake. Finally, the smaller piece from the first cut is split into two equal halves. How much of the cake is one of those halves?

Answer

20%.
After the first cut, the cake is split into a 40% piece and a 60% piece. The 60% piece is then cut into four 15% pieces, so 40% + 15% + 15% makes 70% of the cake. Then, the 40% piece from the first cut is split into two 20% pieces.
