Cheryl's Birthday * 1
    #21553023 - 04/15/15 09:13 PM (8 years, 11 months ago)

A logic puzzle that is moderately difficult. It took me around five minutes to get the right answer, but I was uncertain until I looked at the proof. If you want to test your logical reasoning skills, have at it!



---

This puzzle was designed for fifteen year old advanced math students. There is some controversy over whether or not this is too difficult for fifteen year olds, what do you think?

These aren't just any normal fifteen year olds, they're cream of the crop fifteen year olds with advanced math skills... Just stare at it for a bit, let it simmer. It's hard but doable.

those are both very good points >.> maybe im just dumb and can read other peoples dumb grammar well :lol:


i dont see how anyone can answer this question with certainty no matter how smart they are. i could be very wrong ofc, i ain't that smart, but i just dont get how there can be one obvious answer to anyone looking at this question the first time. sure, there are answers that are more likely than others, but i dont see how anyone can give a certain answer

Well then we can rule out both June and May.  For if the Bernard was told a date that only appeared in one month, then he would know which date was correct.

From this we have July and August.  If Bernard now knows for certain what her birthday is, and July and August share the same date except for one, we can conclude that July 16th is Cheryl's birthday.

Who gives a shit about Cheryl's birthday?  She's a bitch anyway, she never chips in for gas money.  Fuckin' slut.

Yep! Congrats on finding the solution.
