Riddle #1
A secretary was asked to organize a mailing to a 10% sample of a company’s clients. Rather than just pick 10% of the clients on his mailing list randomly, however, the secretary decided to pick the first client, skip one, pick the next, skip two, pick the next, skip three, pick the next, and so on, until he came to the end of the list. To his surprise, the final client that he picked happened to be the last one on the mailing list. Moreover, as required, he had picked exactly 10% of the total. How many names were on the mailing list?
Riddle #2
THIS x THAT x IT equals a ten digit number containing each digit once. If each letter represents a different digit, and THAT is a perfect square, what is THIS?
Riddle #3
Six men, Andrews, Blaine, Colter, Doister, Ebert, and Fisher are the only members eligible for the offices of president, vice-president, and secretary in a certain organization.
If: Andrews won’t be an officer unless Ebert is president; Blaine won’t serve if he outranks Colter; Blaine won’t serve with Fisher under any conditions; Colter won’t serve with both Ebert and Fisher; Colter won’t serve if Fisher is president or Blaine is secretary; Doister won’t serve with Colter or Ebert unless he outranks them; Ebert won’t be vice-president; Ebert won’t be secretary if Doister is an officer; Ebert won’t serve with Andrews unless Fisher serves too; and Fisher won’t serve unless either he or Colter is president,
How can the three offices be filled?
