What is the least number of links you can cut in a chain of 21 links to be able to give someone all possible number of links up to 21

Assume that a chain of length k for every 1<=k<=length(chain)
  must be doable with the open links. Then you can reach

  links  length    dissection

    0      1         1
    1      5         1-(1)-3
    2     13         1-(1)-3-(1)-7
    3     29         1-(1)-3-(1)-7-(1)-15
    4     61         1-(1)-3-(1)-7-(1)-15-(1)-31
    n   2^(n+2)-3

we have taken links as 2^k-1...and hence get such answer.

The question can be modified a bit...

You are having 31kg of rice. You are provided with a 1kg stone for weighing. In how many weights the 31kg of rice can be weighed.

Now we can't have empty selection...so for 

n we have 2^(n+1)-3...

so we have 2^(n+1)-3 = 31

n+1 = 6 (because 2^5 < 35 < 2^6 )

n=5

   Take the chicken over first. Go back and bring the grain next, but instead of leaving the chicken with the grain, come back with the chicken. Leave the chicken on the first side and take the fox with you. Leave it on the other side with the grain. Finally, go back over and get the chicken and bring it over.

8. U2 has a concert that starts in 17 minutes and they must all cross a bridge to get there. All four men begin on the same side of the bridge. You must help them across to the other side. It is night. There is one flashlight. A maximum of two people can cross at one time. Any party who crosses, either 1 or 2 people, must have the flashlight with them.
   
   The flashlight must be walked back and forth. It cannot be thrown and other tricks like that are not needed to solve the problem. The solution is simply a matter of allocating resources in a certain order. Each band member walks at a different speed. A pair must walk together at the rate of the slower man's pace:
   
   Bono: 1 minute to cross
   Edge: 2 minutes to cross
   Adam: 5 minutes to cross
   Larry: 10 minutes to cross
   
   For example: if Bono and Larry walk across first, 10 minutes have elapsed when they get to the other side of the bridge. If Larry then returns with the flashlight, a total of 20 minutes have passed and you have failed the mission.
   
   Let’s name the as A,B,C & D and let’s assume that they take 1,2,5 and 10 minutes respectively. Here is how they should cross the bridge.
   ABCD |—————————–-------|
   CD     |——-AB(2min)————->| ( AB comes and A returns)
   ACD   |<——-A-(1min)————--|B
   A       || ——-CD(10min)———>| BCD  (CD come and B returns)
   A ||    |<——-B-(2min)————--|
   AB     |—————————–-------|ABCD  (AB come)
   If you count all the trips ie. 2+1+10+2+2, it will be 17 minutes
   
   
9. Why is it very common to have a 9 minute snooze interval on alarm clocks, why not 10 instead?
   
   By setting the snooze time to 9 minutes, the alarm clock only needs to watch the last digit of the time. So, if you hit snooze at 6.45, the alarm goes off again when the last digit equals 4. They couldn't make it 10 minutes, otherwise the alarm would go off right away, or it would take more circuitry.
10. A bookworm eats from the first page of an encyclopedia to the last page. The bookworm eats in a straight line. The encyclopedia consists of ten 1000-page volumes and is sitting on a bookshelf in the usual order. Not counting covers, title pages, etc., how many pages does the bookworm eat through?
    
    On a book shelf the first page of the first volume is on the "inside"

    __                             __
          B|  |                           |  |F
          A|1 |...........................|10|R
          C|  |                           |  |O
          K|  |                           |  |N
           |  |                           |  |T
           ---------------------------------- 
     

    so the bookworm eats only through the cover of the first volume, then 8 times 1000 pages of Volumes 2 - 9, then through the cover to the 1st page of Vol 10. He eats 8,000 pages.

PSYCHOMETRY GROUPING

I have grouped the psychometric questions numbering 150. as it is not 
possible for me to write each question I am indicating only the 
numbers. Its up to u to correspond to the questions



At the outset I would like to clearly state that this version has no 
guarantee to be the correct version. Actually some 30/150 questions 
fall in to many groups and the line differentiating them is very 
thin. I have tried my best to group them.



Talking about the groups- they are 11 in number. As I have mentioned- 
this is not the only correct version- but this can be one. So if u 
feel u can group them more finer u can subdivide them in to many more.



I would advise u strictly to go through the whole set of groups and 
define urselves- the key to psychometric test is to define who u are 
and then start looking in to deeply the questions.



Each group represents a character or personality- u will decide which 
of the following attributes u would like to include in ur personality.



GROUP 1 LEADERSHIP QUALITIES



2 3 28 39 53 73 103 128



GROUP 2 SOCIABLE NATURE



4 9 13 14 24 29 44 49 54 59 64 70 74 79 88 89 
109 114 119 139



GROUP 3 BALANCED PSYCHE people who are balanced- not wavery in their 
moods etc.. etc…



5 10 15 16 35 40 41 45 52 55 60 65 75 80 95 105 
130 145 148 



GROUP 4 DAYDREAMERS



50 100 107 125



GROUP 5 PATIENCE AND ATTRIBUTE OF TAKING RID=GHT DECISIONS AFTER 
CAREFUL ANALYSIS



22 27 47 67 72 86 92 96 102 112 117 126 134 136 137 140 
142 147







GROUP 6 EASYGOING AND CAREFREE NATURED PERSONALITIES



6 20 25 32 57 68 77 82 87 90 98 115 123 127 132 135 
150



GROUP 7 ENTHUSIASTIC PERSONALITIES



1 17 42 66 78 85 99 110 141 144



GROUP 8 SLOW SLUGGISH DULL PERSONALITIES



7 11 21 30 31 36 46 51 56 61 76 81 91 106 116 
101 146



GROUP 9 SERIOUS PERSONALITIES



12 26 37 62 97 111 120 124 143



GROUP 10 STRONG FULL OF ENERGY



71 121 122 131



GROUP 11 DIFFIDANT (shy, not able to ask even the most 
required thing….. etc..)



8 18 19 23 33 34 38 43(34) 48 58 63(34) 69 83 84(38) 
93 104(34) 108 113 118(34) 129 133 149



read the following before proceeding



1. the last group is bigger and within the group itself a 
small subgrouping is done- the no. in the bracket is the parent 
question to which the no outside the bracket belongs to- hope u 
understand

2. strictly- this may not be 100 % right as many questions 
look very similar. So go thru and make alterations if u feel so.

3. in each groups there r 2 kinds of questions- if u say 
yes to some and no to others u will land up at the same definition. 
So its ur common sense to understand the affirmative and negative 
tones of each question and answer accordingly- u shld know when to 
answer no and yes for each question in the same group-

4. some groups itself are opposite to each other and can be 
grouped together- but I have separated them on the basis of finer 
inferences eg:- serious persons cant be easy going type. if u say no 
to any question on serious group question u will land as an easygoing 
personality and vice versa- so they can be put under a single group- 
but some finer points prevent from doing so
