1) Twice eight are ten of us, and ten but three.
Three of us are five. What can we be?

Twelve of us are six, and nine but four.

2) Rearrange the following letters to form
a well-known proverb.


THINKER HITS OIL OTHERWISE


 
3) Other than being colors, what do 
the words orange, silver and purple 
have in common?




4) I'm a unit of heat generation.
I am prone to great quantification.
There are many aware
Of the numbers I bear
Some in triumph, and some in frustration.
What am I?




5) In the land of Liars and Truthtellers there were two
families a little different from the general population.
The Smith's, who told the truth only in the morning and
lie in the afternoon, and the Jones' who speak the truth
only in the afternoon and lie in the morning.


You meet one person from each of these families on the
street but you are not sure which is which. They make
the following statements:


A: It is afternoon
B: My last name is Jones.


Who is who, and is it morning or afternoon?
