I have 15 cows. They each give 20 liter of milk day.
Together, they eat up the grass from my pasture in 35 days.
For next season I want to increase my milk production to 500 liter per day. I buy cows like the ones I have, who give the same amount of milk and eat the same amount of grass...
How many days will it take the bigger herd to eat up the grass from my pasture?

You have 12 coins, of which one is counterfeit and has a different weight (you don’t know whether it’s lighter or heavier). You must determine which one is counterfeit by using a balance scale 3 times.
(Warning: It IS complicated. If you don’t have the head for it, don’t bother.)
The most water is in the glass that contains the object with the smallest volume, I.e. the glass with the paper clip
Yes, because if the glasses are not filled to the brim, then each glass will retain its original amount of water. You stated nowhere that the glasses were filled to the brim.
No, because if the glasses are not filled to the top, then each glass will retain its original amount of water. You stated nowhere that the glasses were filled to the brim.
No, the water was filled before the objects were immersed. And it doesn’t say that it was filled to the top.
Honestly, I thought that this was the entire point of the middle. What’s the trick if the objects are of different sizes? Obviously the smallest object is going to displace the least amount of water.
Malki, you are looking at this right now. In the present.
Ok, so I had focused on the line about the objects being immersed and thought that they were immersed afterwards.
Seriously. What’s the difficulty in this riddle if it’s so straightforward? Smaller objects displace less volume. Archimedes principle.

[hidden]21.
15*20=300
500-300=200/20=10 more cows.
15*35= 525/10 cows=21[hidden/]

If you want a difficult riddle, you can go back to the key hiddden on the chessboard ... this was a hard one...
Yes, I’ve been avoiding that one. Maybe post something in-between. . .
OK. Same riddle as the chessboard, but there are only 2 fields.
evil king hides key to your freedom under one of two fields. On the fields there are coins he can arrange randomly, heads or tails, he shows you the field where the key is hidden, you must turn one coin, your friend has to know with one guess where the key is, otherwise you will be hanged...

This one sounds like the type I enjoy! Let’s try it!
