The doors are guarded by two identical guards, one of whom tells the truth all the time, and the other lies all the time. But you don't know who is who. You can only ask one question to any of the guards.
What question should be asked in order not to be mistaken with the choice of the door?
One of the solutions: "If I ask you to show me the door to happiness, which door will the other guard point to?" And after that you need to choose another door.
7. You are invited to work as a financial analyst at Gazprom. They promise a starting salary of $100,000 per year and two options for increasing it:
1. Once a year you receive a $15,000 salary increase.
2. Once every six months - for $5,000
Which option seems better to you?
Second.
The layout according to the first option: 1 year - $100,000, 2 year - $115,000, 3 year - $130,000, 4 year - $145,000 and so on. The layout according to the second option: 1 year - $50,000 + $55,000 = $105,000, 2 year - $60,000 + $65,000 = $125,000, year 3 - $70,000 + $75,000 = $145,000, year 4 - $80,000 + $85,000 = $165,000 and so on.
8. There are three light bulbs in one room. The other has three switches. You need to determine which switch from which light bulb. You can enter the room with light bulbs only once.
First you need to turn on one light bulb and wait, then turn on the second for a very short time, and then turn both off. The first will be the hottest, the second warm, and the third cold.
9. You have five- and three-liter bottles and lots and lots of water. How to fill a five-liter bottle exactly 4 liters of water?
Dial a five-liter bottle, pour 3 liters from it into a three-liter bottle. Pour out of the three-liter, pour the remaining two liters into it. Dial the five-liter bottle again and drain the extra liter from it into the three-liter bottle, where there is just so much space left.
10. You are sitting in a boat that floats in a pool. There is a heavy cast-iron anchor in the boat, not tied to the boat. What will happen to the water level in the pool if you drop your anchor into the water?
The water level will drop. While the anchor is in the boat, it displaces a volume of water that weighs as much as the anchor, its own weight and the weight of the cargo. If the anchor is thrown overboard, it will only displace the volume of water equal to the volume of the anchor, and not the weight, i.e. less, since the density of the anchor is greater than that of water.
11. A father with two sons went on a campaign. On their way they met a river, near the bank of which there was a raft. He stands on the water either a father or two sons. How to cross to the other side of the father and sons?

12. A steel ladder was lowered from the side of the ship. The bottom 4 steps of the ladder are submerged in water. Each step is 5 cm thick; the distance between two adjacent steps is 30 cm. The tide began, at which the water level began to rise at a rate of 40 cm per hour. How many stairs do you think will be under water after 2 hours?
In the USSR, every pioneer (and not only) would be surprised at the ease of questions. In addition to studying at school, we ourselves tried to learn new things. I don't remember anyone who didn't love film magazine "I want to know everything". This is a riddle for a fifth-grader of those times. The student received all answers at school. They taught differently then than they do now. It's now in the schools they make no potential scientists, but "professional consumers", as our "minobrazin" said. So, Soviet riddles forced THINK. Today's honors students at that time would have beenDOUBLES ! At the very least, triplets.
I became fundamentally interested in solving it. Let's discuss the solution to this riddle together. You can turn on my reasoning by clicking on the player.

Today, the editors of "Me and the World" have prepared for you 10 mysteries that have remained unsolved. There are so many still mysterious mysteries in the world. They attract scientists with their obscurity and are the cause of much controversy. Here are 10 mysteries that defy explanation. Can you manage to reveal their secret?
1. Uffington white horse
Today, beautiful in England in the county of Oxford on the steep slopes of the hills, a huge image of the Uffington White Horse is carved. The length of the white horse reaches approximately 110 meters, and the width of this phenomenon is 30 meters.
The strangest thing about this image is that the horse has a muzzle that looks like a beak and it has far different limbs from an ordinary animal. The image of the Uffington horse is considered one of the monuments of antiquity and is observed state guard.
In historical reports of the 1070s, there are records of the Uffington horse. Presumably Uffington White horse was carved at the end of the 5th century, because at that time the white horse was the symbol of the Saxon conquerors, although other scholars claim that this exclusive painting appeared after the victory over the Danes in 871.
2. Synchronized fireflies
Fireflies can be found in many parts of the United States, but there are special fireflies in Tennessee. Every year, in the month of June, certain fireflies meet to perform their particular evening light show, only instead of each one lighting up whenever it wishes, they all light up at the same time, every second or two.
They are in sync. Jonathan Copeland, a firefly specialist at the University of South Georgia at Statesboro, thinks it could be marriage ritual. However, no one knows for sure.
3. Seismic flares
Scientists have noted for many years that mysterious flashes are observed in the sky before volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. It is still unclear how this light phenomenon is associated with two such different natural disasters.
In 1960, this phenomenon was captured on video, and scientists analyzed the footage. According to one theory, a volcanic eruption affects electric charges in geological formations, which leads to visible flashes, but this is only a version.
4. Stonehenge
This is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world and one of the most mysterious. "Stonehenge" is roughly translated from Old English as "hanging stones", but who "hung" them and why? According to the legends, Stonehenge is associated with the name of Merlin.
In the Middle Ages, some scientists believed that it was built by the Germans or the Swiss, and in the 17th century there was a popular hypothesis that Stonehenge was the work of the ancient Romans. At the beginning of the 19th century, everyone came to the conclusion that this was the sanctuary of the Druids. However, later excavations modern research using the radiocarbon method, the time of creation was pushed back to the New Stone and Bronze Ages.
One of the modern hypotheses suggests that Stonehenge is something like an ancient observatory that served to predict cosmic catastrophes. It is also sometimes claimed that this place was used for burials, as a special area for the burial of the dead.
5. The storm destroyed the beach, and then returned to its place
This strange event happened recently in Portlevene (Cornwall, UK). A sudden tide swept away all the sand from the beach.
A few hours later, another tide brought the sand completely back into place, restoring the beach. When the first tide washed away the sand and rock deposits, scientists said it would take years to bring tons of sand back.
However, in reality, it only took a few hours! This strange incident made local residents and scientists are confused to scratch their heads.
6. Great Sphinx
Probably, each of us at least once heard about the sphinx. A legendary creature with the head of a woman, the body and paws of a lion, with the tail of a bull and eagle wings, the sphinx is present in the mythology of many countries. The most famous throughout the world is the sculpture of the Great Sphinx in Egypt.
This grandiose stone statue is shrouded in secrets, legends and myths. Who, when and why built the Great Sphinx is still a mystery. Perhaps that is why the Great Sphinx attracts the attention of not only scientists, historians, connoisseurs of antiquity, but also ordinary tourists.
7. Mysterious lights of Hessdalen
Hessdalen contains several settlements, the number of inhabitants of which barely exceeds two hundred people. The elders note that they have been watching the events all their lives. They say that strange and unusual light rays were first seen a few years before the start of the war in the forties. But, according to residents, this was infrequent.
Later, in the early eighties of the last century, the lights more and more often illuminated the sky above the valley, which greatly disturbed people. The mystery of the lights of Hessdalen has remained unsolved for many decades. One Italian researcher believes that sulfur fumes create bubbles of ionized gas that reacts with moist air to form spheres of light, but the research is not yet complete.
8. Red glow over the Pacific Ocean
This strange red light was spotted over the Russian Kamchatka peninsula by J. van Heist. He was flying a Boeing 747-8 from Hong Kong to Alaska when he noticed a red glow below.
The glow appeared after lightning seen in the distance. Since there was no thunderstorm anywhere along the route, the lightning was clearly not caused by a storm.
This phenomenon remains unexplained; scientists believe that the red glow may be a reflection volcanic eruption at the bottom of the ocean.
9. Annual animal migration
