Its ridiculous to see all of the people arguing here. its
clearly mentioned that the "boy spoke German" and the
family has one child. so it has to be a boy. No need to
consider anything else. Father spoke first.

Answer / keyrthy

Dont think that far.It is given in the question itself
that"The boy spoke German"itself signifying that the kid is
a boy,also the second one said "He is a girl" which is
meaningless it should be said"she is a girl"so it is a
false statement as per given condition men always speak
truth so this is not spoken by father,so first response
given by father

100 Gold Coins Five pirates have obtained 100 gold coins and have to divide up the loot. The pirates are all extremely intelligent, treacherous and selfish (especially the captain). The captain always proposes a distribution of the loot. All pirates vote on the proposal, and if half the crew or more go "Aye", the loot is divided as proposed, as no pirate would be willing to take on the captain without superior force on their side. If the captain fails to obtain support of at least half his crew (which includes himself), he faces a mutiny, and all pirates will turn against him and make him walk the plank. The pirates start over again with the next senior pirate as captain. What is the maximum number of coins the captain can keep without risking his life?
