Bearing in mind that the queen has said that at least one man has cheated, there could be more than a single adulterer.
我们必须记住女王提到,至少有一名男子背叛妻子,这也就意味着该数目可能大于等于一.
If there are two cheaters, 98 women will know who they are. The next day when the wives who have been cheated on see that nobody has been executed they will realise the only explanation is that their husbands are the culprits, and will kill them.
如果村里有两名男子背叛妻子,那便有98位妇人知道他们的身份.次日,他们的妻子没有发现有人被处以死刑,那么妇人就会明白,唯一的可能就是自己丈夫,随后杀之.
By that logic, 100 cheating husbands will be executed on the 100th day, as the riddle states that every man in the village has cheated on his wife.
依逻辑推断,那100名有婚外情的男子会在第100天时通通被处死,正如谜题所述,村庄里的每个男人都曾背叛过自己的妻子.
A riddle about pirates sounds complicated but the answer is in fact quite simple.
有一个关于海盗的谜题看似玄乎复杂,但事实上答案十分简单.
You're the captain of a pirate ship, and your crew gets to vote on how the gold is divided up.
假设你是一艘海盗船的船长,你的船员们就如何分配黄金的问题进行投票.
'If fewer than half of the pirates agree with you, you die. How do you recommend apportioning the gold in such a way that you get a good share of the booty, but still survive?
如果你的分配方案得不到半数支持,你就会被杀死.在自己可以活命的前提下,你如何分配才能拿到最多的财宝？
The solution is to share 51 percent of the treasure.
答案是分掉51%的黄金.
Another logic puzzled candidates were given to solve was: 'How many times a day do the hands of a clock overlap?'
"一天中,时钟的时针和分针会重合几次？"这是应聘者们被要求回答的又一个逻辑难题.
The hands overlap once an hour, but 11 times in 12 hours and 22 times in a day. This is because the overlap at 12 has already been accounted for.
时针和分针每小时重叠一次,但在12小时内会重叠11次,一天之内重叠22次.这是因为在12时位置的指针重合已经计算在内.
The overlaps occur at 12, 1.05, 2.11, 3:16, 4:22, 5:27, 6:33, 7:38, 8:44, 9:49 and 10:55 in the morning and after midday at 12, 1.05, 2:11, 3:16, 4:22, 5:27, 6:33, 7:38, 8:44, 9:49 and 10:55.
重合时间点分别是上午12:00,1:05,2:11,3:16,4:22,5:27,6:33,7:38,8:44,9:49,10:55以及下午12:00,1:05,2:11,3:16,4:22,5:27,6:33,7:38,8:44,9:49,10:55.
