5 Hard Riddles With Simple Answers - Tricky Hardest Riddles with Answers Episode #5
video description
It may look complicated but it is very easy you to know. Let me explain
Shopkeer initially = 0,
Then shopkeepr gets = 1000(fake)
On exchange of money
New shopkeeper = 1000(fake) Old shopkeeper = 1000(real)
Finally, after lady has taken goods & gone
LADY = 200(GOODS) + 800(REAL) New shopkeeper = 1000(fake, Old shopkeeper = 200(REAL)
Now after new shopkeeper demands all his money, Final account is
LADY = 200(GOODS) + 800(REAL), New shopkeeper = 1000(real, Old shopkeeper= 200(REAL)-1000-200(GOODS) = 1000.
Since now he realozed note was fake those goods were practically taken free from the old shopkeeper. Hnece we had subtracted 200 MORE.
Hence shopkeeper lost 1000 only.

Logically, it's seems to me that the Shopkeeper lost 800 RS.
If he needed changed from the neighbour shop, you can assume he only holds 1, 000 RS notes.
Now lets assume he has, say, 10, 000 RS worth of 1, 000 RS notes on hand. When he takes the 1, 000 RS note from the lady (which is not his) he swaps it for smaller notes equating to 1, 000 RS. He keeps 200 RS for himself, covering the cost of the bag. This takes him to 10, 200 RS total. He gives the remaining 800 RS to the lady as her change.
When the boy from the neighbour shop says the note is fake, he then replaces it with a 1, 000 RS of his own.
10, 200 - 1, 000 = 9, 200
By keeping the smaller notes, he's technically still retained the cost of the good.

Shopkeeper puzzle best explanation ever= Imagine shopkeeper has nothing intially with him except bags($200) suppose bag is in container( for future easy calculation, now lady buys it so shopkeeper has nothing now she gives him $1000 and shopkeeper gives it to next shopkeeper and returns $200+$800 in which he put 200 in that container(now money is replaced with bag. equivalent) and gives 800 to lady. So at this time the only thing happened to shopkeeper is that bag is replaced with money in the container(no loss no again till now, suddenly next shopkeeper arrives and says that $1000 was fake i need real money. so Now, Shopkeeper has to give 1000. So actual loss here is 1000. Hope you understand it, if so leave a like!

Look at the last problem this way: forget the lady. You ask your friend to give you five $20 bills in exchange for a $100 bill. Your friend obliges, then finds out the $100 bill is counterfeit. You give him the five $20 bills back. Your loss is $100. You had what you thought was $100, and it turned out to be worthless. By the same logic: your loss is 1000 rupees, the friend's loss is zero, and the lady's gain is 1000 rupees in money and merchandise, assuming the bill originated with her. If not, then she presumably earned the money in some way, and her loss is zero as well. The counterfeiter gained 1000 rupees, whoever he may be.

The shopkeeper sold a bag which is Rs - 200 For him. The lady gave him Rs 1000 bill. He then mistakenly gave the lady Rs 800 bill instead of keeping it (Rs 800) because Rs 1000 - Rs 200 (bag) = Rs 800 for him. In that exchange he lost Rs 600 because He should have had Rs 800 but he has only Rs 200 because he kept Rs 200 and gave the lady Rs 800. He has Rs 200 but He should have had 800 Rs, so he is in loss for Rs 600 because of a money counting mistake. And as I already said he also lost Rs 200 worth bag.
Which makes a total of Rs 600 + Rs 200 = Rs 800 worth of loss

A loss of Rs. 1000!
Let's condense the equation this way -
The one who's neutral, the one who's on profit and the one who's on loss
1. The other shopkeeper gave the first shopkeeper 1000, then took back his 1000. So he's neutral.
2. The lady gave a fake note (Rs. 0) and took away Rs. 1000 (200bag + 1000. She got on profit of Rs. 1000.
3. The shopkeeper got no money from the lady, and gave goods worth Rs. 1000. A loss of Rs. 1000.
To the other shopkeeper, he gave the money which he asked for earlier. Nothing tough

Sk1 has some money in till and a bag at the start. Lady comes in and after the SK1 gets change, she leaves with a bag worth Rs 200, and Rs 800 in cash. At this point, Sk1 has Rs 200 more in his till and no bag, so he's still net zero for the day. Now Sk2 comes over and returns the fake note and demands Rs 1000. Sk1 gives him Rs1000 (including, perhaps the Rs 200 he put in the till moments earlier. So Sk2 has his money back and Sk1 is out Rs 1000 (the lady made off with a bag worth Rs 200 and Rs 800 in real notes)

The shopkeeper will not get any profit for selling the bag, so by selling that bag he neither had profit not loss. But in this question the shopkeeper gave the got a loss of 1000 as the other person took his money and the costumers money is fake and he gave the bag worth Rs. 200 so his total loss should be 1000+1000+200=2200, but he gave only 800 to costumer and 1000 to the other shopkeeper and Rs. 200 worth bag to costumer so his total loss will be 200+800+1000= 2000

The answer to Q1 is not three spots - it is just the poster-s preferred one from several possible answers. For example, four spots is equally valid as an answer: the dice are in sets of 3, the third being the first rotated through 90 degrees then superimposed on the second, giving the answer as 4 spots rotated onto 4 spots, the superimposed image being four spots. There may be other languages where the letters match up for 1-5 but not the sixth.

2 answers 1 the shop keeper lost 1000 total the bag and 800 in money and the borrowing the change makes no difference he lost total 1000 in goods and money for the fake note. 2 The wording says the lender of the 1000 in change took his money back which could mean he only took back the 200 that was his (it also doesn't say the shop keeper had any more money at this point) in which case the shop keeper is only down the bag or 200.

At the time of the problem, the shop keeper had received a good 1000 r from the people next door and had off loaded his loss onto the next shop. Of course, this may be corrected as the shop keeper may need to make good on the 1000r note and may find the lady and require her to pay him back. but that is for the future. Big fan of yours, Ammar.
As to the dice, the pattern could have been 334335.

He lost 1800. He took 1000 fake bill and changed it, giving the lady 800 and keeping 200. In total, he gave the lady a 200 bag plus 800 change = 1000. He then had to refund the other shop keeper. He had 200 left from the change but had to add his own 800 to pay back the total of 1000. So he lost 200 for the bag, 800 he gave the lady and another 800 for the repayment on the fake bill = 1800.

because the lady gives him Rs1000 fake note and he exchange it with the next shop and the give's the lady Rs800(which is a loss) and keeps Rs200, and then the next shop owner comes and tell that it is a fake note so he has to give him Rs1000.

Exception case: if the bag was unsellable anyway and he doesn't wish to replace it, then he only lost $800 and the personal use of that bag (which presumably he wouldn't want to use either.

About the last one should be E=1800. He borrows 1000 good notes from the next shop, then from them gives her 800. Later he has to give the guy back 1000 good notes, so he already lost 1800. He has 200 good notes remaining from the beginning, but 1 bag less, so this doesn't have to be considered. Actually, he lost 1800 good money and has 1000 fake ones.

The last problem is not confusing as long as we define properly what we mean by loss. I'm no accountant but in cash terms the shopkeeper lost 800 and in terms of goods the bag. If we covert everything into cash he lost 1000. In terms of bags: 5 bags. There's really no mistery to it once you are clear as to what you are refering to.

Q 1 is misleading in that you show numbers in the form of dice, but claim the -correct- answer is based on spelling. There is nothing in the riddle to suggest the answer is based on spelling and everything to indicate the answer is based on numbers. Therefore, the -logical- answer is 6.

The Q1 has multiple correct & logical answers even if options aren't offered, depending on how people looked at it. One: just like in the video. Two: pattern, 3, 3, 5, 4, 4, 6. Three: opposite dice. In dice, the opposite dots should equal to 7, so the last one could also be a 2.

Last puzzle: In a normal situation, the shopkeeper would have 1 less bag, and 200$(or R) in profit. But here, he still has 1 less bag, has lost 800$ for the money he gave back to the lady, and didn't get the 200$ profit. So overall a 1000$ loss.
