No. 5 - 2.5 eggs)))

#5: 2 eggs... probably.

#5 - 4 eggs

#7. Millet:confused:, meat, wheel

So, no one managed to solve puzzles #1, #6, and #8.

#5 - 6 eggs, as far as I can tell. If one and a half chickens lay x eggs in one and a half days, then one chicken probably lays x/1.5 eggs in one day...

#1
1) Maybe he was resting, because the problem states that "they worked almost in sync."
2) Maybe he was sharpening the saw.
3) He was eating and regaining his strength. :)

Beast Chieftain! You were the first to find the answer to puzzle #1 (but which one is correct?).

#8. Possibly, Life is a mechanism. Because a banana is an orange (Fruits), felt is galoshes (Felt is a material, and galoshes can be made of it - a connection), a house is a fir tree (A house can be made of wood. In this case, a fir tree). Well, and Life can be associated with a mechanism that never stops functioning.

Ataman-zver! You were the first to find the answer to puzzle #1 (but which one is correct?).

I consulted with others and decided to choose the second option - sharpening the saw.

Relaxing.

Life is everything.

No. 9 While exploring the jungle, three scientists were captured by a tribe of cannibals. They were given a chance to save their lives: they were tied up in such a way that scientist A could see both of the others, B could only see C, and C could see no one. They were shown five colored feathers, including three black ones and two white ones. The scientists' eyes were blindfolded, and one of the feathers was placed in each of their hair. After their eyes were uncovered, the scientists were asked to determine the color of the feather on their own head. If at least one of them answered correctly, all three would be freed. Time passes... Neither A nor B can name their color... Suddenly, scientist C, who can't actually see anyone, correctly names the color of his own feather. What thoughts led to his answer? No. 10 I am extremely young and extremely old; I am as thin as a hair and as thick as a barrel; I am the embodiment of virtue and a desperate rogue; I am blacker than ink and whiter than snow; I am as slow as a turtle and as agile as a deer; Weak as a straw and as mighty as an oak; Poor as Job and as rich as Croesus; I am a circle and a square; A ragamuffin and an aristocrat; A hurricane and a breeze; An angel and a demon; I am eternal and dead; I am constantly sick and always healthy; Lighter than a feather and heavier than lead; I am everywhere and nowhere; I am married and single. Guess: who am I?

They guessed he was sharpening a saw.

No. 8. After much deliberation and agonizing over this puzzle, I came to the conclusion that the missing word is "star." (The first letters of the words are in alphabetical order). Is that correct?

No. 9. The first one calls it "black," but it's white. The second one calls it "black," but it's white. If that's the case, then both white options are exhausted, and only black remains.

No. 10: An antonym :)

#9
Let's start with A.
If B and C had white feathers on their heads, then he would correctly name
the color of his own feather. But he is silent, which means that this is not the case.

Now B (Well, he's smart and he understood everything)
Then 1) if C has a black feather on his head, then B has a white or black feather,
2) if C has a white feather on his head, then B has a black feather.
Since he is silent, it means he is not sure, and he can only be unsure in the first case.

And in the first case, it says that C has a black feather.
That
