Okay I have some math problems that I can't seem to solve. No matter what I answered, my teacher said it's a good explanation but it's not the right one... Anyways here it goes. 1. It was Monday, and Tom and Jerry were at the same Job. When it was time for Tom to go home, Jerry wouldn't let him. Why? - Okay they're not playing a board game of monopoly for sure... I got tonnes more math problems... They're more brain teaser questions but, I had the answers from the previous years but I don't remember the solutions. Trust me I already tried to search them up and nothing came up. 2. A 6 food deer is foraging at the outskirts of a forest that is 4 miles long. The deer is startled by a hunter and starts running into the forest. How far can it run into the forest? 3. From a box containing 1 black and 2 tan hats, a hat is placed on Tim and Jim's heads while they are blindfolded. After removing the blindfolds, they asked if they know what color they have on. Each could see the other's hat. Tim said he didn't know his color, at which point, Jim said he knew his. How did he know and what color was it? 4. The people of playland only told the truth on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. Which day of the week is it if a Playlander says "I told the truth yesterday?" --------------------------------------------- I already solved the other half. I'd appreciate it lots if you helped me out... Thanks. :D

The answer for the third one is that Jim was wearing the tan hat. If Jim were to be wearing a black hat, Tim would have known that he was wearing a tan hat as there was only one hat that is black. So Jim knows that he is wearing a tan hat and not a black one. The answer for the last question is Saturday as NJC said. On saturday, he lies which means the statement that he told the truth yesterday becomes a lie and on fridays he is allowed to lie.
