Well, yes! You are a mathematician, Sir!  :)

I don't think I'll find something to make it difficult for you! Although, I'll give it a try.  ;D

Numbers on parking places are normally sequential, and oriented to be viewed from the aisle. To read them in the above, you need to turn the picture upside down.
You get...

86, car, 88, 89, 90, 91
The number under the car is 87

Yes, it's Greek. That is why I wrote under the picture the question in English.

Well, now, I suppose that the only puzzle remaining, is my computer's foolishness!!! Can you say why ''she'' so problematic?  :o

C. Can not be determine
John's skills as a student are unknown.

We don't know, but this info is not necessary.  :)

I deliberately didn't answer this one because, it can be looked at in different ways, depending on how you interpret it.

Literal interpretation - "Unknown" because the good student is copying from a student of unknown capabilities.

Results oriented interpretation - "From a poor student", because that's where the work originated.

It could also be argued that a "good student" would not be cheating, and that the original premises are flawed. A poor student is copying from another poor student, who in turn copied from the only student who didn't cheat.

You have to take it as a math logic problem. Don't try to interpret the scenario with any other kind of logic.

THE PROBLEM:

Peter is copying of John and John is copying of Jack. Peter is a good student, but Jack is not. Is a good student copying of a student who is not good?

    A: Yes
    B: No
    C: Cannot be determined

THE SOLUTION:

The most common answer to this problem is C (cannot be determined), because we don't know John's skills.

BUT:

Do we need this information?

There are two possibilities about John's skills: being a good student or not.

If he is a good student, then he is copying of Jack who is not, so the answer is A (YES).

If he is not a good student, then Peter, who is a good student, is copying of him, so the answer is A again (YES).

Conclusion: The answer is A (YES). Information about John's skills is not necessary.    :)

Hello, LzD Friends. How are you?? Here is summer again.  :)

This is another puzzle for everyone:

I hope that yesterday was tomorrow, so today was Saturday...
What day I did this statement??

Monday

If it's Monday, yesterday was Sunday
If Sunday could be tomorrow, today would become Saturday (what's being wished for).

BTW: The diction of the question makes it confusing. (Was this a translation)?
I assumed you meant "On what day did I make this statement?"

I refuse to play/comment until the syntax is correct.  ;)

Actually, I copied it from a site and I didn't notice that there was a mistake. I apologize for the confusion. English is not my strength.  :)
And yes, the correct answer is Monday.  :D
