A Flowery Fiasco
Logic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
There was a very young princess who was very beautiful. Her father thought it was time for her to marry. He held a series of competitions. All of the men dropped out, but one, a peasant. The King was very unhappy about this and he wanted to make sure the peasant could not marry his daughter. He placed 100 roses in a room. Only one rose was from their garden. The rest were fakes. They all looked and smelled the same. It was impossible to tell them apart. The peasant was very wise though, and picked out the correct rose. How did he do it?
HintHe didn't do it he had help from an animal.

Answer

| So, when you say that all the other flowers are "fakes", does you mean they are artificial roses that just look and smell remarkably real? If so, he could have just waited for the REAL rose to wilt. |

| In response to sillywilly, I am pretty sure that insects are part of the kingdom animalia which would make a bee an insect and a animal. Maybe you are confusing animal with mammal? |
