Answer:
Yes. This is a stupid question.
but really confusing for kids. cause too many constraints sia..

Open the Bag 2. (with two same fruits because all labels are WRONG)
If bag 2 is an orange, then bag 1 is mixed, bag 3 is apples. (all labels wrong as condition)
if bag 2 is apple, then bag 1 is orange, bag 3 is mixed. (al labels wrong as condition)
why torture our kids leh?
 


I was still trying to DIGEST the language of the question.

"Can you re-label the bags just by looking at one of the fruit in one bag"
so it is in ONE BAG, not IN EACH bag. initially i tot i can open and get one fruit out of EACH BAG.
haha! so english must be powerful enough to solve the problem too.
 
QQ,
when I saw your answer me more blur, if only open bag 2, how we know what is inside bag 1? then when I try to type, I understand your answer if it ALL LABEL WRONG AS CONDITION :p
 
I know le...

this is how i elaborate the answer...very layman.

Bag 1 (it has to be 2 orangs or mixed - bcos it is not 2 apples)
Bag 2 (it has to be 2 apples or 2 oranges - bcos it is not mixed)
Bag 3 (it has to be 2 apples or mixed - bcos it is not 2 oranges)

Step 1: Take 1 fruit from Bag 2

Answer 1:
If pick out apple from Bag 2, Bag 2 is 2 apples.
So, Bag 3 cannot be 2 apples, and it has to be MIXED.
So, Bag 1 will be 2 oranges.

Answer 2:
If pick out orange from Bag 2, Bag 2 is 2 oranges.
So, Bag 1 cannot be 2 oranges and has to be Mixed.
ANd, Bag 3 will have to be 2 apples!
 
correct!.. hahah.. this question trains your understanding of the question. if u read the question slowly and craefully, u should be able to solve it.

i got one more question.. u all wanna try?
 
come! star.
i am very eng here cause dun want to work. i am on mc today still.

pink, u are quite systematic in problem solving. i just thinkthin think then lump an answer out as an adult. haha
 
QQ
next time when we teach our kids, have to be very systematic. i feel drawing method is easiest.

e.g. bag 2 cannot be mixed, so draw out 2 apples or 2 oranges and link to it...something like that

anyway, this should be a P3-4 question, i sincerely hope so.
 
I have a few more questions.. this one is easier. a more difficult question is coming up next.

Question: What is Jackie's choice.
Jackie, a 30 year old woman, decides its time to settle down and get married. There are 4 men eager to win her hand: Roland, Lee, Aziz and Malcolm. Jackie's 4 aunts, Luisa, Anna, Mary and Barbara, all have opinions about whom she should marry. Luisa likes Ronald, Anna thinks Ronald and Malcolm are too macho but likes Lee and Aziz, Mary likes only Aziz, and Barbara thinks Lee and Malcolm are too poor but likes Ronald and Aziz. Finally, Jackie calls a psychic hotline to help her decide. She gets married, but only one aunt is happy with the choice. Who did she marry and which aunt is happy?
 
This question is more difficult.

Question: What coloured Hat?
There are four prisoners of war (POW). They are not allowed to talk, move or turn around. If anyone talks or turn around, he will be shot immediately for they are surrounded by enemies.

Each prisoner of war will be given a coloured hat to wear. No one must look at their own hat. The enemy is now going to give the POW a challenge. If ONE of the 4 prisoners can tell him what colour hat he has on his head, he will let all of them go. But if the first answer is wrong, then they will all be shot. They are all given 10 minutes to think carefully. The first answer will determine their fate.

One vital piece of information to get the POW started is that there are 2 red hats and 2 blue hats. (I will attach picture below, the sequence of the hats happened to Red-Blue-Red-Blue)

And if no one gives an answer within 10 minutes, the four POW will also die.
Note that NO ONE is allowed to talk, move or turn around. Any movement from the POW will result in death for all four POW.

pink: i like the shorts.. can i tumpang when u go there again to get for me??

kaexin: hope u r ok.. go n claim the other car!
 
pink,qq, star,
u guys are scaring me...my sis warned me that CO will have problem adjusting back to sgp when she is in P1.
 
Starfruit,
if by the 9th min, the last POW didn't say anything, the 3rd one should know his hat is red (different from the 2nd's colour) liao.

star, defeated. i dunno the answer le. until i saw RR's answer. wahhaha!!
this one is more like an IQ question to me.
very chim.
not a math question right?
 
blur,
if can go natural for me. if really cannot then cut open i am also ok.
so your maid was left alone at home and watch tv? or watching with chloe?

the pain dissappear yesterday night but still left a bit at right side, prob i did not walk (at all) walk so much. now i walk slowly and monitoring.
 
POW3 cos he notice POW4 dare not guess so he must have know that POW4 is seeing POW2 and POW3 as red and blue. So he will guess his as Blue as he sees that POW2 is wearing red.
 
WALIEW.. cheem le i m damm confused with star's que!

QQ
she is alone, chloe at CC .. i found the tv light ON cos we always off it, i go touch tv, n its warm too so must be she on lor.. i ask her why tv is on? she in kitchen took me 3 calls to get her attn.. maybe she in kitchen dun dare to reply or thinking of HOW to reply me.. ended up she said sorry ma'am i watch telly. she also not dumb le.. i taught her how to on channel 33 for chloe.. so she was watching 33 too.. yday i think was suria cos i told pete how come channel is so wierd i tot i presssed wrongly didnt wanna accuse cos no evidence.. today i caught her lor.
 
Bingo for RR and Germaine. Look at germaine's response for the answer...heheh wha we have quite a few smart mummies here.. good good.!

haha
 
RR, Kelley
can tumpang me!

RR
wat size u want? which character? or same combi?

lemme go and read the 3rd IQ Question.

aiya i got distracted by the questions, pumped late and missed the timing to collect Rina's work permit. hahhaaa! dun care lah, shd be able to collect tomorrow...

Star
u know the timing oof gruffalo?
 
pink : i also wan! esp the dora! hahaha!

star : alamak! i am one of the stupid mummy sial.. can't figure out the POW! alamak! must set aside money for tuition sial..
 
star, i must say this RR and giolyn very outstanding leh. haha!!
i ask jay he also dunno the answer.
after seeing RR's answer jay said: this proves that RR is still very young, and quite creative, innovative also. haha!
this kind of challenging questions are very good le, brain twisting.

blur, if alone at home, and finish work, she can watch tv right? but then it is hard to control cause nobody is at home. if kids are not at home, i am ok to let maid watch tv, but when i ask jay he said better dun watch la.
but if dun watch and finish work liao, then very bored. maybe read newspapers, magazines for her? more constructive.
 
QQ
frankly i m angry cos she never ask for permission first.. i rather she go read.. i saw her nap before , its fine w me cos she wakes early.
 
just saw the 3rd Q and answer

QQ
does it mean we are more mathematical? i think i am. :p maybe thats why i count $? :p
i wonder whether other mummies from other threads are so 'bo liao' like us ???:p wahahaa!

Nana
All dora? let me know size.

Kelley
Dora - 1 M 1 L
Princess - 1 XL

Nana?
RR?
 
blur, if this is the RULE that u set earlier that she cannot watch tv, then she shouldn't.
angry also no use, hope she dun repeat again. i think she is quite smart also la.

pink, yalor. i think we are the boliao bunch.
and i agree that i am more mathematical, hence no creative thinking at all. zero creativity.
 
blurbelle
i wont be surprised that my maid watch TV at home. mr tan didnt bother to install hidden cam. no way to control. I will be angry but after a while, i will sympathise with them..for Rina, she takes care of Enya around the clock, not like last time still can go walk walk with us, go tiong bahru plaza etc, now she is at home 95% of the time, quite boring. So if she watches once in a while, Im fine. sometimes i ask her to go playground with Leia, she can talk to other maid/s, also let her swim with Leia once in a while. I think maids who meet employers like me are very lucky. WAHAHHAHAHA!
 
today i cannot tahan liao. I called the maid agency and want them to scold my maid. Cos she really has attitude problem. Always give black face for days when being told off, when talked to her she dun look into the eyes and nvr apologise.

Not sure did the agency called her. sighh...
 
pink
i hope i m not being too chek ark with them.. AT LEAST ASK la.. if i dun find out wah.. bu de liao.. elect bill etc. so far hor she is fine with cooking but take care of chloe hor.. no initiative n she will wait on her like queen.. chloe bully her she also dumb dumb sit there.. i m afraid after 2 is out, i will end up taking care of both.. sigh see how la.. i go fetch chloe liao.. chat later tata
 
blurbelle,

hahaha.. yah loh, very fast hor... but i still left 1 week of maternity leave. will take as n when bah.

oh, yr maid watch tv huh? i think still better than she goes out n socialise w other maids right? anyway, nothing much for her to do at hm since no one at hm right? depends on your threshold lah.
 
belle,

hmmm, kids will bully the maids one... i rather they bully the maid than the other way round though.

Mummies,

tiring to work and wake up so early to cook, wake up at 5am!!! hahaha... i feel like dozing off now... n my elder X hor, dun appreciate the food!! cos i cook simple food, usually steam etc, didn really fry n he end up dun like the food. sigh!!! Maybe i just cater food for a few days lah, tired!
 
Mist
did the other employer accept your ex-maid? im very curious.
how's your nanny arrangement? why u need to cook in the morning? cc doesnt provide?

blurbelle
think your maid super bored now. when bb is out, she wont have time.
e.g. in the day, enya sleeps for 1/2 hr on-off and this gal needs a lot of attention. If nobody is around her, she will yell for pple to talk to her. Rina has to do housechores during these 1/2hrs, such as washing clothes, ironing clothes, prepare dinner (if my mum reaches my place early, she will cook instead). I doubt she can have proper nap also.
from the way she plays and takes care of Enya, i know she likes my bb a lot. But, sometimes she says things like "what is MY BB doing?" i feel a bit awkware lah, cos its mine leh..:p
 
QQ, pinkpink,
I'm also a very mathematical person but think I'm abit more "creative" cos I'm a lefty, think with the right brain. Haha! Anyhow say de lah. :p

pinkpink,
I want same combi, all size L. Thank you so much!
 
one last one.. i am sure some of you have heard of this.. hahaha.. but its fun hor.

How is it Possible?
Is there any way to drop an uncooked egg onto a concrete floor from 2 metres up without cracking it?
