These logic puzzles can provide hours of mental exercise and are great for developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Enjoy the challenge!
1. The Classic River Crossing Puzzle

You are in a room with five doors. One door leads to freedom, and the other four lead to traps. You have a robot that can test one door at a time. The robot will either return to you safely (indicating a trap) or not return (indicating the correct door). How can you ensure that you find the door to freedom?
5. The Two-Guard Door Puzzle
You are in a room with two doors. One door leads to freedom, the other to certain death. There are two guards, one always tells the truth, the other always lies. You can ask one guard one question to determine the door to freedom. What do you ask?

– Third digit (4) is the sum of the first and second digits (1+3).
– Fourth digit (6) is three times the second digit (3).
4. The Five-Door Logic Puzzle
Solution: Test one door at a time. If the robot returns, it’s a trap. If the robot does not return, that’s the door to freedom. Repeat for the remaining doors until you find the door to freedom.
5. The Two-Guard Door Puzzle
Solution:Ask either guard, “If I were to ask the other guard which door leads to freedom, what would they say?” Then choose the opposite door.
6. The 12 Coin Problem
Solution:
1. Divide the 12 coins into three groups of 4 coins each.
2. Weigh group 1 against group 2.
3. If balanced, the odd coin is in group 3. If not, the odd coin is in the heavier or lighter group.
4. Take the heavier/lighter group and divide into two groups of 2 coins each.
5. Weigh one group against the other.
6. The heavier/lighter group contains the odd coin.
7. Weigh one coin from the remaining group against another coin.
8. The heavier/lighter coin is the odd coin.

4. Person 2 returns with the torch. (2 min, Total: 15 min)
5. Finally, Person 1 and Person 2 cross the bridge again. (2 min, Total: 17 min)

1. The last person (5th) will count the number of red hats they see.
2. If they see an even number of red hats, they say “red” if they themselves have a red hat.
3. If they see an odd number of red hats, they say “blue”.
4. Each subsequent person uses the previous answers to deduce their hat color.
9. The Light Switch Puzzle
Solution:
1. Turn on the first switch and leave it on for a few minutes.
2. Turn off the first switch and turn on the second switch.
3. Enter the room.
4. The bulb that is on is controlled by the second switch.
5. The bulb that is off but warm is controlled by the first switch.
6. The bulb that is off and cold is controlled by the third switch.
10. The Knight and Knave Puzzle
Solution:
If A says, “At least one of us is a knave,” A must be telling the truth, making A a knight and B a knave. If A were a knave, then the statement would be false, which contradicts the scenario of having at least one knave. Thus, A is a knight and B is a knave.
I hope these solutions help clarify the puzzles!
