I'm posting it because it's a killer and if you want dont count it (if wuyh posts his(her)'s that is)
so...
There was a small county that consist of some families - all know each other;
One day a great wiseman came to the county and, of course, met with the count.
'What do you think of my lands?,' the count asked.
'Well they are good but there are prostitutes among the women. Thants what I don't like'
'How can this be?'
'It can! Each man knows all prostitutes, but if his wife is one, he doesn't know of her.'
The count immediately told this to all men and told them: 'whoever finds out that his wife is a prostitute, he must kill her immediately!'
A day passed and the barber killed his wife.
How many prostitutes were there in the county, before that?
Ok, you do it..
i was searching for puzzles just now, but found nothing..
thankQ, 7thStar.:D :D :D :D
I think it might work like this :
1 and 2 goes = 2 mn
1 comes back = 1 mn
5 and 10 goes = 10 mn
2 comes back = 2 mn
1 and 2 goes = 2 mn
Total = 17 mn
Bridge can now explose !
Oupsss sorry I miss the previous answer ...
Well please let me try this one too :)
I would say one (the barber's wife)...
If they were two (or more), the barber should say all right It's not mine but the other one... And would have killed his wife the second day realising the other one hadn't killed his wife.
So the thing is that he didn't knew any prostitute but know that they were at least one ...
It's obvious that the real answer is:Quote:

there are four men that need to pass a bridge through the night. They are soldiers and two of them are injured, one - seriously.
they have a flashlight and the bridge cannot be passed without a flashlight and it can carry no more than two men.
the first onw can pass the bridge for 1 minute, the second for 2 the third, slightly injured man, for 5 and the fourth for 10.
In 17 minutes the birdge will be blown to pieces so they need to pass it within that time.
How will they do it?
They spend a minute coming up with this really fantastic plan of how to cross the bridge, realize there are only 16 minutes left, and all commit Sepuku.
as the orignal text did not mention the relationship between the barber and the count, i would like to say that the barber and count are the same person. And there's only ONE prostitute, the barber's wife, in this country.
Or, if there's more than one, why did the count know no prostitute?
Last, i think this country is not in Arab, where a man could have more than 1 wife. and the count should be a MAN.

Pierre31:
I am not sure it has been here, but it is such a classical question that I have already seen it quite a few times.
My question:
Why do programmers have trouble to make the distinction between Halloween and Christmas?
because:
oct 31 == dec 25
Hahaha I guessed it! Haha! :D
Correct.
