- Yes, a lot of things, Petka... For example, such sciences are logic, psychology, philosophy...
- Oh, tell me about science!
- Well, how can I explain it to you... Imagine that two men are walking towards the bathhouse: one is clean, and the other is dirty. Which one of them goes to the bathhouse, and which one passes by?
- The devil knows!
- Oh, Petka! A dirty man will go to the bathhouse - why should a clean man wash? Here's an example from logic.
- Great, Vasily Ivanovich!
- And here’s another problem for you: two men are coming again: clean and dirty. Which one goes to the bathhouse?
- Well, of course, you said it yourself - dirty!
- Eh, no - think about it, why is it dirty? Because he doesn’t go to the bathhouse! So, clean will do! Here's an example from psychology...
- Well, Vasily Ivanovich, you give it!
- But listen again: two men are walking...
- Yes, you bullied me with your men!
- And this is an example from philosophy...

Invincible female logic. If you didn't pick up, it means you're with the women! Offline means with women! On the Internet, that means he's a jerk, corresponds with women.

Women's logic:
- Wait for the prince, and then be indignant that he lies on the sofa and does not work hard like a worker or peasant.

Logic lesson, teacher:
- Vovochka, and now you.
- Mary Ivanna, can you see two women with ice cream outside the window?
- I see.
-Which one is married, the one who licks ice cream, or the one who sucks?
- Vovochka!..
- But still?
- Probably the one who licks.
- Wrong, Mary Ivanna, - the one with the ring...

Try to think first. Answers to the problems are below.

1. Tight sweater.
Why is it so much easier to take off a tight sweater without taking off your glasses than to put it on?

2. Kozma Prutkov’s problem.

Kozma Prutkov has a short fable called “The Shepherd, the Milk and the Reader”:

One day a shepherd was carrying milk somewhere,
It's so terribly far away
Why didn't I come back?
Reader! Didn't you come across him?

And, when reading this quatrain, I remember this very ancient problem, to which the majority gives the answer very quickly and very incorrectly:
TASK: If you go northeast all the time, where will you end up?
But before you write an answer, you should think about it, right? And having solved this simple problem, think about the second question:
Will the path be endless?

3. Dashing Cossacks.
Two young Cossacks, both dashing riders, often bet with each other who would outrun whom. More than once one or the other was the winner, and finally they got tired of it.
“That’s it,” said Gregory, “let’s argue the other way around.” Let the bet go to the one whose horse arrives at the appointed place second, and not first.
- OK! - Mikhail answered.
The Cossacks rode out to the steppe on their horses. There were a lot of spectators: everyone wanted to look at such a curiosity. One old Cossack began to count, clapping his hands:
- One two Three!..
The debaters, of course, are not moving. The spectators began to laugh, judge and argue, and decided that such a dispute was impossible and that the disputants would stand in place, as they say, until the end of time. Then a gray-haired old man, who had seen different species in his lifetime, approached the crowd.
- What's the matter? - he asks.
He was told to.
- Hey! - says the old man, - now I’ll whisper to them such a word that they’ll jump like they’ve been scalded...
And indeed... The old man approached the Cossacks, said something to them, and half a minute later the Cossacks were already rushing across the steppe at full speed, trying to overtake each other, but the one whose horse came second still won the bet.
What did the old man say?

4. Puzzle for a climber.
There is a man at the top of a 100-meter-high cliff. Exactly in the middle of the rock (at an altitude of 50 meters) a tree grows. A man has a rope 75 meters long and a knife with which he can cut the rope. How can he get down from the cliff?

5. How many revolutions?
There are two identical coins on the table. Let one of them lie motionless, and the other rolls around it, constantly touching it. How many revolutions around its axis will the second coin make, going once around the stationary coin?

6. Baseball tournament.
97 baseball teams participate in the annual tournament. In this tournament, the winner is selected using the old elimination system. That is, these 97 teams are divided into pairs and the teams of each pair play against each other. After the losing teams are eliminated, the winners are paired again, and so on. How many games must be played to determine the champion?

7. Biochemistry task.
You are a biochemist working with a twelve-well centrifuge. This is a device that has 12 equal-sized slots around a central axis into which you place samples of the chemicals you need to mix. When the machine is turned on, the samples rotate around a central axis and turn into a homogeneous liquid. To ensure that the samples are well mixed, they should be placed in a balanced manner across the 12 slots. For example, if you want to mix 4 substances, then they can be placed in slots 3, 6, 9, and 12 (assuming that the slots are numbered, just like the numbers on the clock). Is it possible to mix five substances in such a centrifuge?

8. Bouquet of flowers.
How many flowers do I have if all but two of them are roses, all but two are tulips, and all but two are daisies?

9. How to transfer a valuable item?
You want to send a valuable item to a friend. You have a box that is larger than the item itself. You have several padlocks with keys. The box has a ring(s) that are more than sufficient for a lock. But your friend doesn't have the keys to any of your locks. What to do?
Note: You cannot send the key in an unlocked box as it may be copied.

10. Question logic.
What question cannot a logician answer “No”?

Answers:

1. When a person takes off a sweater, he holds it by the collar and thus stretches the collar in front of him. And when putting on a sweater, the effect is the opposite.

2. If you go northeast all the time, you will come to the north pole. The path will not be endless, and this is easily proven. Indeed, if we go with speed v, then in our case we will constantly approach the pole with speed v/sqrt(2), regardless of the latitude of the area. Since the distance from any point on the earth’s surface to the pole is finite, our path is finite.

3. The old man whispered to the Cossacks: “Change your seats.” They understood, each immediately mounted his opponent’s horse, and each now drove at full speed the other person’s horse, on which he was sitting, so that his own horse would come second.

4. The rope should be divided into 2 parts: 25 meters and 50. At the top of the rock you need to fasten a piece of rope 25 meters long and tie a loop at the other end. Thread the other part of the rope through the loop so that the loop divides it in half. The total length of the resulting rope will be 25 + 50/2 = 50 meters. With its help, a person will go down the tree and pull out a 50-meter part of the rope, folded in half, from the loop. Having secured it to a tree, you can safely descend to the ground.

5. The second coin will rotate twice around its axis.

6. Of course 96

7.You can! To do this, you need to divide each sample into two parts, after which you will have 10 samples, naturally placing them is very simple: leave slots 12 and 6 empty, fill the rest.

8. a) Three flowers: a rose, a tulip and a daisy.
b) Two flowers: gladiolus and chamomile

9. Place the item in the box and lock it. Send the box to a friend. The friend also locks the box with his own lock and sends the box to you; You open your lock and send the box to a friend. He opens his lock

10. Is there a question to which you will answer “no”?
