🧩 Logical Puzzle
Q.4. At a farewell party, people were asked to guess how many marbles there were in a box. No one guessed correctly, but the nearest guesses were 171, 177, 186 and 190.The correct number of marbles was one unit away from one of the closest guess, three units away from another, ten units away from the third and sixteen units away from the remaining closest guess. How many marbles were there in the box?
💡 Answer:
The jar contained 187 marbles. One way to do this is to draw a number line between 171 and 190 and test each number to see if it works. Otherwise take a few guesses until you get it!
