The smith family has a mother father and 7 daughters each daughter has 1 brother how many people are in the family?

Common MISTAKE :16 because 2 parents + 7 girls=9 and if EACH girl has one brother add 7 to 9 and that's 16!

Uhhh no duh.. its 16 is this a trick question?

i think the part that says each daughter has one brother is supposed to be the tricky part.. but its definetly not..

Proper correct answer Hahaha lol IS: It is the trick part ppl should watch out for it says : Each DAUGHTER has one brother so think about it ..... ALL DAUGHTERS have only one brother is the same as each SISTER having one brother (ITS A FAMILY REMEMBER)!!! Because it is a family and there is only one son in the family. So the correct answer would be 1MOM + 1DAD + 7Daughters + 1Brother = 10 in the family :)

If you count 1 to 100 how many 6s will you pass on the way?

This common question is ambiguous and needs more detail. Variations of the answer with explanations are below. The most commonly asked form of this question deals with 6's so that is what shall be used in my answer. (If you do not understand, replace the 6's in my answer with 9's.)

[Literal Sense]

1 is the answer because the actual number '6' (by itself) only occurs once.

[The Digit 6]

20 is the answer because, the digit 6 appears 20 times in this example:

6, 16, 26, 36, 46, 56, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 76, 86, 96

[The Number 6]

10 is the answer.

These would be the numbers in which '6' occurs:

6, 16, 26, 36, 46, 56, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 76, 86, 96

This is because one does not count the digits that represent values other than 6 (i.e. 60, 600, 6000, etc.). So, in this case, the digits with a strikethrough are uncounted. Simply, 6's are only counted in the ones place value.

If there are 6 white socks and 6 black socks drawing one sock at a time how many socks must be selected to be assured to get a pair?

7

If you don't care which color you get, the minimum number falls to 3.

Say you pick the first sock and it's black. If the second one is also black, you're done.

If the second sock is white, then pick a third sock. If the third sock is black, it matches the first sock; if it's white it matches the second one. Either way, you have a pair.
