The Islanders

There are two beautiful yet remote islands in the south 

pacific. The Islanders born on one island always tell the 


truth, and the Islanders from the other island always lie.

You are on one of the islands, and meet three Islanders. 


You ask the first which island they are from in the most 


appropriate Polynesian tongue, and he indicates that the 


other two Islanders are from the same Island. You ask the 


second Islander the same question, and he also indicates 


that the other two Islanders are from the same island.

Can you guess what the third Islander will answer to the 


same question?

The Frog

A frog is at the bottom of a 30 meter well. Each day he 

summons enough energy for one 3 meter leap up the well. 

Exhausted, he then hangs there for the rest of the day. At 

night, while he is asleep, he slips 2 meters backwards. How 

many days does it take him to escape from the well?

Note: Assume after the first leap that his hind legs are 

exactly three meters up the well. His hind legs must clear 

the well for him to escape.
