No. 27
The Sultan had 12 viziers. He learned that some of the viziers had unfaithful wives. He decided to punish them. He did the following:
each vizier and his wife were placed in completely isolated rooms, and they were told that they would remain locked up until all
unfaithful wives were killed by their husbands. Every morning, a servant checks all the rooms to see if this condition has been met. As
soon as it is determined that all unfaithful wives are dead, everyone is released. On the 3rd day, everyone was released, and all faithful wives
remained alive. How did the viziers figure it out?
Clarification. All the viziers are very smart, and there are plenty of rumors in the palace, so each vizier knows whether each other vizier's wife is faithful or not, but he doesn't know anything about his own. There is no exchange of information while they are locked up.

You are in a labyrinth. You wandered for a long time and finally, exhausted, you ended up in a room with two doors: one leads to freedom, the other to
certain death. There is a guard at each door. One always lies, and the other only tells the truth. You don't know which door
is which and who is who. What one question should you ask to determine the correct door?

No. 30 What is equal to
(K·A·R·L·S·O·N)/(V·A·R·E·N·Y·E)

Each letter is a digit (from 0 to 9). The same letters correspond to the same digits, and different letters correspond to different digits.
The answer turns out to be a quite specific number :)

0. You cannot divide by 0, that is why it is on top.

If I enter a door that leads to doom, which door will be to my left: the right one or the left one? (The Truthful one will remain silent if the outermost one leads to death, and the Liar will say it's the right one. If the right door leads to death, then the Truthful one will say that the left one is on the left, and the Liar—the right one.) I WAS SOLVING FOR THE CASE WHERE THEY BOTH ANSWER.

Ataman, I commented on my answer to #28 there.

Regarding division by zero. Okay, okay. But the problem specifically required a specific number ;)

21 possibly, he blocked the window from the outside, but it remained square from the inside

25 those who wanted to get married often opened it to check if it was boiling or not; the air temperature in the kettle would drop at that time. But the other one didn't care, and she didn't open the kettle.
26 Take one coin from the first hat, two from the second, and so on. Then, the difference in grams will be the weight of the hat.
29 one divides the piles, the other chooses which one he wants.

In version 22, he might be a math teacher or teach children somewhere, and one of his students is the son of a friend, but he didn't know which one. When the friend said it was the redhead, the older one, everything became clear to him (a weak, but possible version).

27 Perhaps the solution lies within the riddle itself.
The sultan had 12 viziers. He found out that some of the viziers had unfaithful wives. He decided to punish them.
The punishment would only be for those with unfaithful wives.

Or, the unfaithful wives understood that they wouldn't be let go alive anyway (not by their husbands, but by the sultan) and therefore didn't beg for forgiveness, or didn't beg much. The others felt it was unfair to die, and they actively persuaded their husbands.

No

I didn't understand anything:D I always thought that the door on the left is the left door, and it can't possibly be the right one:) And which of the doors is the outermost one?
And only one gatekeeper answers one question.

1. In the 1960s, "Voenizdat" published a Russian-Chinese phrasebook, which contained many more of THEM than usual, because a very vigilant female editor was in charge of editing that phrasebook.
2. I think you all remember Onegin's words that there are extremely many of THEM in love poems.
3. THEY make up more than half in a well-known request for help.

BUT HOW MANY EXACTLY? This was a question about THEM. And who are THEY (or what are THEY)?

Coin collectors have to pay attention to many small details in the objects of their collection. Counterfeiters do too, so as not to make a mistake in their "creativity." Those who collect THIS, on the other hand, are very wary if they see too many details in the objects of their collection, because they prefer everything in THIS to be careless and done in a hurry. What is THIS? What do they collect?
