This legendary problem from the Soviet textbook on logic allows you to check mindfulness and ingenuity. Those who could quickly find the right answers in some universities of the USSR were admitted without exams. Ready to test yourself? Carefully review the picture and answer 9 questions.
- The tourists camped. How many people are in this group?
- Did they come just a few days ago?
- What did they get here?
- Determine the distance from the base to the nearest settlement: close or far?
- Find out the direction of the wind: north or south?
- What time of day is in the picture?
- Where is Shura and what does he do?
- What is the name of the tourist who was on duty yesterday?
- Define the date: what date and month?
- There are four people in the group: this can be determined by the number of dishes on the tablecloth and the list of duties attached to the tree.
- Some time ago: the web at the tent can not appear quickly.
- On the boat: her oars are leaning against a tree.
- Nearby there is a village. The figure shows a chicken who wandered from it to the camp.
- From the south side. The direction of the wind can be seen from the flag on the tent. In addition, trees (branches) usually have longer branches from the south, in the figure it is the right side.
- In the camp it's morning. Having determined the direction of the wind and the direction of the boy's shadow, we can conclude that the sun is in the east.
- Shura catches butterflies behind a tent - his net can be seen behind bushes.
- Shura is busy catching butterflies, Kolya is busy with a backpack (on it the letter "K"), Vasya is photographing (his backpack with a tripod is marked with a "B") - they can not be on duty. Today is Petya's watch. The graph shows that the previous one was Kolya - he was on duty yesterday.
- We found out that Petya is on duty now - this is the 8th. On a tablecloth watermelon - its harvests in August and September. But school classes begin in the autumn, so, in the figure - August.
