That wouldn't be particularly sporting. Or fun!
I came close on that one though. It was really starting to irritate me.

I wouldn't bother posting here if i looked up the answer,why ruin the fun for everyone else.
And i still think my logic is better than the roman numeral logic on the six question

If it's an infinite number of people will it ever be possible to get to a a pint? Do fractions go that high/low?! (Maths is not my forte...)

The amount of liquid keeps decreasing, one sixteenth of a pint........ And as the number of people nears infinity,the guy gets drops or even less.It has something to do with sum of infinite series.

Time Travelling Ant
It is 6 o'clock ..the ant from the tip of the clock's half foot Hour-hand must travel home to12 o'clock mark under the tip of 1ft Second-hand.
The clocks Minute hand is 9 inches.
The ant travels 1ft/min along the hands without stopping and reverses its direction when reaching the pivot end or the tip of the hands .
It can shift to any hand that is directly above or below it while resuming direction.
How long shall it take for the ant to arrive home?

No matter...whether Ascending or Descending order
We have 4 buckets( A,B,C, and D)
(A) can take only 3 gallons of water,
(B) can take 4 gallons...they are both empty at start position.
(C) and (D) have the same size, each can take exactly 5 gallons, both are full with water to start with.
Use these beakers only to make an ascending or descending order of water amount in each beaker...
i.e. , either...1 gallon, 2,3,and 4 gallons,
or 4 gallons, 3,2 and one gallon...
Have a nice time..
