Puzzlezz (?)

Hey Guys,

Hope you all doing good!! I came across few interesting B-School Puzzles. Try and solve them. Leave your answer as comments to the post, but try and be honest!!

• 1st one:

**************************
There is a dragon with three heads, and three tails. And hou have a sword. You can either cut 1 head or 2 head or 1 tail or 2 tails of the dragon. If you cut 1 tail, 2 new tails appear. If you cut 2 tails, one new head appears. If you cut 1 head, one new head appears. And if you cut 2 heads, nothing appears. So in minimum how many strikes can you kill the dragon i.e. cut all its heads and tails.
**************************

• 2nd one:

**************************
Emily writes a list of 10 numbers less than 100. Her list contains number in ascending order (i.e. smaller number appears before the greater one). Few other peculiarities of her list are: The difference between any two adjacent number is also a number in the list and when these number written in words, the total number of alphabets in each number is also is in increasing order. (i.e to say if the previous number has 3 alphabets in its word form, (eg number '2'), then the next number has more than 3 alphabets in its word form.)

Find the sum of all the 10 numbers of the list that Emily has!!

Commomwealth Youth Games 2008

Hi All,

This is a great time for all the sports lovers across the company as one of the biggest extravaganza is happening in Pune and that too just couple of miles away from the office. There are about 71 countries participating with a total strength of 1200 athletes. The beautification work done for the games is really good as the main route for the Chatrapati Shivaji Sports Complex passes from the road below the office. However the matter of concern is that "IS THIS GONNO BE MAINTAINED AFTER THE GAMES". Please let me know your views on the same. Hope to see you all at the games.......

Regards,

Sarvesh.

Smoking ban in the office......!!!!!

Hi All,

According to the Government of India , the smoking ban in public places is appreciable. I guess we should have taken this decision out of personal interest. However I am sure there will be people who oppose the very decision of banning smoking in public places, as rightly said by one of my friend, "I have been smoking for 11 years and my parents dint find it out, how on earth will the administration catch me". I have also figured out few more problems to this ban like lot of people will find alternate places like roads, terraces, toilets etc. How will we take care of cleaning and maintaining these properties.

Lets me know your views on the same.
