Here is a puzzle which is from the villages of ancient India n this is an interesting one?

One old man bought two sacks of mangoes from the market and each sack contained 100 mangoes.Between his home and market, there are hundred railway stations. He has no money that he can buy ticket. He goes to the station master and tells him the whole situation. Station master agrees in this condition that old man has to give number of mangoes equal to no of sacks in every station.example for if he has two sacks he has to give two mangoes, four mangoes for four sacks.the question is that how the old man is going to disrtibute the mangoes that some mangoes should left for himself.?Dont ask that in old india there are no trains. this question is modified and also assume that in every station old man has to give number of mangoes equal to number of sacks

some creative answers:

(1) he catches the express train, not the stopping train

(2) he swops the mangoes for some other fruit before he sets out and is not then bound by the condition he agreed to

(3) he eats all the magoes before he gets on the train

(4) he puts all the mangoes in the guards van and has no mangoes about his person to disburse.

(5) He asks fellow passengers to say the mangoes are theirs, and give them back to him when he reaches his destination,

(6) he gets rid of the sacks and puts the mangoes in the luggage racks and phones his wife on his mobile phone to meet him at the station with two new sacks with which to take them home.

Four Benefits of Kids Puzzles

We all know that our children need certain skills and abilities for success in the future. Without these basic traits, they could end up having trouble in school or even later in their careers. That's why as parents who are committed to providing the best opportunities for their children you'll be interested in learning why kids puzzles of all kinds are always a good choice for them.

Hand Eye Coordination

Being able to make our hands and eyes work together may seem easy to you and me but it isn't a skill we mastered without a great deal of practice. While many parents improved their hand eye coordination through video game playing, there are better ways to achieve the same results with our children, such as kids puzzles.

One example is building toys, such as the Medieval Castle Building Set from Smalltime Child. The set includes more than 100 pieces which children have to arrange in specific ways to create a castle. Each of those hand movements must be coordinated with what the child is seeing or the entire thing is going to fall apart. Continued practice using the set will further enhance the child's abilities.

Fine Motor Skills

Unlike gross motor skills which begin developing as soon as babies begin moving on their own, fine motor skills need more help. You can begin by giving your baby small toys which require gripping and other hand movements. However, when the child reaches the toddler stage you may want to begin introducing kids puzzles as a way to help hone these skills.

Why are fine motor skills important? For one, they are going to help your child develop the physical ability needed to hold a pen or pencil and write with it legibly. Drawing, playing an instrument, working with clay, and even playing some sports requires well developed fine motor skills and the foundation of those begins in early childhood.

Social Development

Regardless of the type of kids puzzles, social development is something that goes hand in hand with them in many cases. That's because building a medieval castle, connecting rhyming words, and finishing images with laces are great activities to do with others.

Cognitive Abilities

When we're talking about kids puzzles, we're talking about one of the best tools available to help improve your child's cognitive abilities starting at an early age. Cognitive abilities, including problem-solving and reasoning, are going to be essential throughout your child's life. Without them, he or she is likely to face an uphill battle in school, in the workforce, and in every other aspect of his or her life. That's not something most of us want for our children.

With kids puzzles, children are forced to make connections and to determine how to solve problems. They see relationships in the kids puzzles that help them find a solution. By giving your child these kids puzzles, you'll be able to see real improvement in these abilities and will help set your child on the right path for a bright future.
