44
36 of the cubes have EXACTLY 2 of their sides painted black,
but because a cube with 3 of its sides
painted black has 2 of its sides painted black, you must
also include the corner cubes. This was a
trick question, but hopefully the title of the puzzle tipped
you off to this.

Answer / mridul
125 cubes means volume is 125...each side has 5*5 cubes...corner points are having 3 painted sides hence 8 corner points....and 40 side points with 2 painted surface...hence 48 cubes

3 boys go to the restaurant. Their bill was 75 rs.. So they contributed 25 each. Manager then gives 5 rs back to the waiter and then waiter gave 3 rs back to them and put 2 rs into his pocket.. So their actual contribution is 24 because they got 1-1 rs back. so 24*3=72 and 2 rs into the waiter's pocket. so 74+2=74 where is 1 rs?

There are 10 statements written on a piece of paper: 1. At least one of statements 9 and 10 is true. 2. This either is the first true or the first false statement. 3. There are three consecutive statements, which are false. 4. The difference between the numbers of the last true and the first true statement divides the number, that is to be found. 5. The sum of the numbers of the true statements is the number, that is to be found. 6. This is not the last true statement. 7. The number of each true statement divides the number, that is to be found. 8. The number that is to be found is the percentage of true statements. 9. The number of divisors of the number, that is to be found, (apart from 1 and itself) is greater than the sum of the numbers of the true statements. 10. There are no three consecutive true statements. Find the minimal possible number?
Substitute digits for the letters to make the following addition problem true. W H O S E T E E T H A R E + A S ------------------- S W O R D S Note that the leftmost letter can't be zero in any word. Also, there must be a one-to-one mapping between digits and letters. e.g. if you substitute 3 for the letter H, no other letter can be 3 and all other H in the puzzle must be 3.
