Forum Of Note: Brain Teasers

After surfing Orkut for interesting (and active) communities, both those I've visited and as well as some of the new ones appearing, I thought I would start off the Forums of Note with Brain Teasers.

Brain Teasers is not a community for the impatient, lazy minded individual who enjoys avoiding problems. What makes this community great is that users are always posting new puzzles to solve with everyone else trying to take a shot at finding the correct answer.

Here are some interesting puzzles/riddles that may give your brain a headache from over thinking:

• Firewall Escape Room (good for beginners)
• Busy In Office (no one has solved this yet)
• NeutralRiddle (a very popular one)

Note: Thanks for everyone sending me emails over the holiday weekend to check out some very interesting forums. If you have found a very interesting community inside Orkut, let me know by emailing me or posting a comment below.

Another Brain Puzzle

Over in the Puzzles forum, DM lists a brain teaser which is simple enough (at least for my brain) to grasp yet challenging enough to be fun.

WHO IS ON THE RIGHT? A PUZZLE!

Four married couples were sitting around a circular table.
No man was sitting next to his wife or another man.
Mr Coster was not sitting next to Mrs Black.
Mr Black was not sitting next to Mrs Dell.
Moving clockwise around the table, the women were seated in the same order of their names as the men.
Mrs Archer was sitting on the right of Mr Black.

Who was sitting on the right of Mrs. Coster?

For those too lazy (or lack the time) to solve this on their own, you can find the answer over here.

A Brain Teaser...

...that I can get! Today Vivek posts in the Brain Teasers forum a puzzle that I can not only understand, but also solve.

A farmer on his death-bed, wants to divide his 25 cows between his five sons... But it is not that easy that you think, as every cow has a number-tag, and most surprisingly, every cow gives litres of milk daily, as the number written on its tag...

I mean the cow bearing number 12 tag, gives 12 litres of milk daily and the cow bearing number 23 tag, gives 23 litres of milk daily, or so on... Now can you people help the farmer dividing the cows between the sons so that every son gets five cows with equal quantity of milk daily...

This is a good "mind expanding puzzle," but for those of you who want to cheat the answer lies inside Orkut.

Note: For those who enjoy these puzzles, Priyanka is offering even more brain teasers via pdf format.
