you might be correct..

 

solution chethala undi deniki 

 

given as below 

Solution:
I should also have said that the answer was not 10 either! That is a popular answer, but I'm afraid it is not correct. The right answer was SIX WOLVES. 

Let's see why:

6 wolves catch 6 lambs in 6 minutes. Multiply by 10:
The same 6 wolves catch 60 lambs in 60 minutes.

(Give them 10 times as long and they'll catch 10 times as many lambs.)

Another way of seeing the answer is to note that each wolf catches 1 lamb in six minutes. In 60 minutes, therefore, each wolf will catch 10 lambs (ten times as many). With 6 wolves, six times as many lambs will be caught.

Mrs Mess was buying a set of garden furniture. The bill was seventy dollars. [/size]

She gave the attendant what she thought were two $50 notes, (actually two $100 notes).[/size]

The attendant was sleepy and didn't notice either, so he gave Mrs Mess what he thought were three $10 notes (actually three $50 notes).[/size]

Who ended up better off than they should?[/size]

5 pirates of different ages have a treasure of 100 gold coins. [/size]

On their ship, they decide to split the coins using this scheme: [/size]

The oldest pirate proposes how to share the coins, and ALL pirates (including the oldest) vote for or against it. [/size]

If 50% or more of the pirates vote for it, then the coins will be shared that way. Otherwise, the pirate proposing the scheme will be thrown overboard, and the process is repeated with the pirates that remain.[/size]

As pirates tend to be a bloodthirsty bunch, if a pirate would get the same number of coins if he voted for or against a proposal, he will vote against so that the pirate who proposed the plan will be thrown overboard.[/size]

Assuming that all 5 pirates are intelligent, rational, greedy, and do not wish to die, (and are rather good at math for pirates) what will happen?[/size]

six lambs ni six wolves catches in 6 minutes......so permutations lo average is one wolve/one lamb is 6 minutes.....and...one wolve/sixty lamb is 360 min.......ade six wolves/sixty lambs is 60 min.......
