Randy's Cucumbers
Randy picked 102 cucumbers in one month, 96 cucumbers in the next month, 46 cucumbers the following month, and 4 cucumbers in the 4th month. He sold a total of 15.5 cucumbers in one day. Randy sold 19.5 cucumbers the next day. 23.5 cucumbers were sold the next day, and 27.5 cucumbers the following day. If the same pattern of cucumbers are being sold, how many cucumbers will Randy sell on the 62nd day?
Answer
None. Randy would've run out of cucumbers if the same pattern of cucumbers were being sold. Remember, he only had 248 cucumbers. The 62nd day would've been 259.5 cucumbers.Hide Answer Show Answer

That is really a easy puzzle.
just add all the numbers you will get sum as 248.
If any body have heard about arithmetic progression series he can easily get the amount sold on 62nd day.
T(62)=a+(62-1)*4;
T(62)=15.5+61*4;
T(62)=259.5
hence the answer he will run out of the quantity.

How does one sell half a cucumber?
Nice teaser.
Nice teaser.
Thanx!
It may be easy - but only if you read each part carefully! Very easy also to make assumptions and get it wrong. (And shops often sell half-cucumbers.) Thanks
