Logic puzzles

[SY]

During WWII, there was a bridge connecting Germany and Switzerland, and on the German side, there was a sentry tower with a guard in it. He would come out every three minutes to check on the bridge, and he had orders to turn back anyone who tried to get into Germany, and shoot anyone trying to escape without a pass. There was a woman who desperately needed to get into Switzerland, and she knew she didn't have time to get a pass. It would take her at least six minutes to cross the bridge, but she managed to do it. How?

What did she look like?

She was a changeling…


She always reflected the image of your heart’s desire and could become any of these instantly:

Interesting collection of faces. Google seems to have a taste for brown hair and somewhat Mediterranean features.

Are you sure?

I was until it dawned on me that 3 days after Saturday is Tuesday not Wednesday. Doh!

I was in the shower washing all the dumb off me when that epiphany occurred.

Can I change my guess to Friday?

Wouldn't work. She'd be only two minutes across from Germany, but four minutes away from Switzerland, so even if she turned around, the guard would see she was too far across, and he would have seen her on his previous check. The volley of shots rings out, and her lifeless corpse falls into the river...


Oops, misread the question...

There are definitely a few outlyers in there as well like Hugh Jackman

hmmm I may have been a bit too simplistic, she would in fact have to time it pretty well, but if she went to exactly half way she should be ok.

Here's a puzzle that isn't a typical logic puzzle. It involves the USA. It is important not to look at a map, do this in your head.

Which state is:

Northernmost -
Easternmost -
Southernmost -
Westernmost -

 

[pinkmouse]

Guessing.

Alaska
Massachusetts
Florida
Hawaii, (but that might be Southernmost as well...)

edit: changed item two...

 

[Cal Weldon]

edit: I removed my response to your post. I'll be back in a bit.

 

[pinkmouse]

That's okay, I'm off to bed anyway, just popped in to check the queue.

 

[Cal Weldon]

In the order you have them, one of the states is correct but there's another one correct but not in the right location, if that makes sense.

 

[Pano]

Alaska
Maine
Hawaii
Hawaii

Those were my answers... then I decided to check my work. Oops.

[sofaspud]

Hmmm... may be some controversy then with #2

 

[Cal Weldon]

Nope. Think outside the box.
