Could you tell her lost ticket number of train? |
Riddles everyone should know
It was the
year 1825, when the mother of Brianna, journalist of the Morning Post, set off
her daughter and her siblings at the Adwick railway station. It was the cold
weather, afternoon time and Christmas holidays had just ended in England so
train was crowded with passengers.
When the
train begun moving on railway tracks then train conductor blew whistle, Brianna
happily waived good bye gesture to her mother Louisa after embarking on train
from window. Brianna who was being excited to go back to her work after
spending holidays with her family, amused by looking out green fields, orchards
from the window suddenly an ticket collector approached and asked to show her
ticket. She puzzled when she couldn't find ticket in her clutch, faced trouble
and asked her siblings but they had their tickets. Seeing that situation,
ticket collector insisted that she must had to show her ticket otherwise had to
get off from train.
The
gentleman sitting opposite to Brianna interrupted and offered his help to sort
out that issue and convinced a ticket collector to tell her ticket number
instead of showing ticket. He asked her siblings to tell their ticket numbers
only so they told as 6,457, 7,645, and 5,764. Gentleman had an acumen, was a mathematics
teacher in Irish high school by profession, told her ticket number must be 4,576. Hearing the accurate answer of
her ticket number, ticket collector got surprised and allowed Brianna to travel
in train.
Did you find
how gentleman found out the correct answer? If yes than don't need to worry. If
no, than let me tell you how he calculated the next ticket number. Let me tell
you the logic behind it. If you just take last number which was 4 in the last
number of 5,764, just add 4 in
previous number before the first three digits, the next number would be 4,576. Got it now.
