Answer / arulmurugan.c
finally
x=24
y=24
z=24
before this
x=24-12=12
y=24-12=12
z=24+12+12=48
before this
x=12-6=6
z=48-24=24
y=12+6+24=42
before this
y=42-21=21
z=24-12=12
x=6+21+12=39
so initially
x=39
y=21
z=12
totally 72 chocolates

In a kingdom far far away, the King decided that the time has come to find a husband for his princess daughter. The King wanted to find a worthy lad for his princess, so he promised to give his daughter away to the first young (or old) man who would solve the puzzle that has stumped the best of his court mathematicians for years. The puzzle is very simple: in a palace, there are 25 rooms arranged in a square--5 rows of rooms with 5 rooms in each row. In every room there is a light switch which not only switches on/off the light in that room, but also switches the lights in the adjacent rooms--the room to the right, to the left, the room above and the room below. Initially, all of the lights are turned off. The goal is to turn the lights on in every room of the palace.

In the middle of the confounded desert, there is the lost city of "Ash". To reach it, I will have to travel overland by foot from the coast. On a trek like this, each person can only carry enough rations for five days and the farthest we can travel in one day is 30 miles. Also, the city is 120 miles from the starting point. What I am trying to figure out is the fewest number of persons, including myself, that I will need in our Group so that I can reach the city, stay overnight, and then return to the coast without running out of supplies. How many persons (including myself) will I need to accomplish this mission?
At the Party: 1. There were 9 men and children. 2. There were 2 more women than children. 3. The number of different man-woman couples possible was 24. Note that if there were 7 men and 5 women, then there would have been 35 man-woman couples possible. Also, of the three groups - men, women and children - at the party: 4. There were 4 of one group. 5. There were 6 of one group. 6. There were 8 of one group. Exactly one of the above 6 statements is false. Can you tell which one is false?
