1st April is a day of fun, humor and enjoyment. Even though, I have lot of fun puzzles on this blog, these ten are totally meant for today. Enjoy!

# PUZZLES

1. If you are in a dark room with a candle, a wood stove and a gas lamp. You only have one matchstick in the matchbox, so what do you light first?

3. There are 10 lit candles on a table. A strong breeze comes and extinguishes 2 of the candles. When you come back later, you see that 1 more has been blown out.To make sure no more flames go out, you shut the window. Assuming the wind doesn’t extinguish any more candles and you don’t relight the extinguished candles, how many candles do you have left in the end?    (Source)

4. Paper is white. Cotton is also white. White-board is white. Clouds are white. Eggs are white. Flour is white. Rice is white. Milk is white. Some cows are white. Now tell me, what does a cow drink?

5. How much is 4090 and 10 ?

6. You arrange five coins on a table in a way such that two coins are on one side and two are on the other. The fifth one is placed exactly at the center. Your son asks for a coin and you give him the middle one. How many coins are left?

7. I was riding a horse. There was a fire engine just next to me. A helicopter was following me. To the left there was a sports car moving and to the right hand there was a depth. I managed to stop all of them at a sudden, without crashing and without communicating to the respective pilots. Guess, how??

8. What to put in a tank of water which will make it lighter?

10. Who manages the time?

The Matchbox.

YES!

Three (3).

Water. (Did you think about milk?)

4100. (Did you think 5000?)

Two. (Not four!)

I was on Merry-Go round.

A hole.

Tuesday, Thursday, Today and Tomorrow.

## How many apples did each automattician eat?

Four friends Matt, James, Ian and Barry, who all knew each other from being members of the Automattic, called Automatticians, sat around a table that had a dish with 11 apples in it. The chat was intense, and they ended up eating all the apples. Everybody had at least one apple, and everyone know that fact, and each automattician knew…

## A Problem On Several Triangles

A triangle $T$ is divided into smaller triangles such that any two of the smaller triangles either have no point in common, or have a vertex in common, or actually have an edge in common. Thus no two smaller triangles touch along part of an edge of them. For an illustration let me denote the three vertices of…
