Brain Teasers
Passes
The Timberland Tigers coach gave his 14 players jerseys numbered 0 to 13. He then told them to stand in numerical order from 0 to 13 in a circle, and he gave the ball to the player wearing the number 0. He told them to pass it to the person 3 numbers ahead of them. For example, if I was number 6 and I got the ball, I would pass it to number 9. After 120 passes the coach told them to take a rest. Who had the ball when they stopped?
Answer
Number 10 had the ball when they stopped because every 14 passes it get backs to zero. If you divide 120 by 14 you get 8 remainder 8. Then you use that extra remainder as 8 passes to get #10.Hide Answer Show Answer
