I see why you thought of it now!

Why don’t you hide your answers?

In the spirit of tishrei I’ll forgive you, but only if you don’t do it again.

You have 10 sacks of coins. They all look the same but only one bag contains real coins which weigh 2 oz vs fake weigh 1 oz. You can use a bathroom scale just once!


Hidden: 

Weigh one from bag one, two from bag two, three from bag three, etc.

If all the coins were fake, it should weigh 55 oz. The discrepancy from 55 oz tells you which bag it's from!

Ok, same thing. The noon train and the midnight train are technically not passing but arriving/departing at the same time. So the answer should be 23.


Didn’t you say a train leaves every hour? How did it suddenly become half hour?

Because the train you're on is also traveling in the opposite direction.

And? Wow my brain is sunny side up. I don’t begin to get it. Why should there be more than max 13 trains on the opposite side in 12 hours?
Ohhhh ok ok ok I got it. Another 12 trains were already in transit by the time you sat onto yours.

I still don't get it. So what if another 12 trains are in transit? Each one is an hour ahead of the one behind it, so you wouldn't pass any of those. I still say the answer is 12 trains for the trains going in the opposite direction, and that is that! Not listening

Lol. Glad I’m not the only one with a fried brain. 12 were in transit before you sat on, another 12 leaving while you’re in transit so you’ll be passing all 24. Being that you’re traveling in the opposite direction you’re meeting a train every half hour instead of hour. If you’d be sitting in the train station for 12 hours (far alla monna sonim, grandma wud say) that’s when you’d only see 12-13.

I’ll try again. There’s a train leaving from yehupitz to nomansland and vice versa. The route is one hour. Both leave at the same time. You’re on yehupitz train. When will you meet nomans train? In an hour or in 30 minutes? In 30 minutes, right? Cuz both are traveling! Same thing happens on the route above. Since you’re both traveling to meet each other, you pass oncoming trains every half hour instead of hour.
Hope this helps! Nod only if it does.
