1.- There's three boxes tagged with "Blue balls" "Red balls" and "Green balls", they tell you that the 3 are tagged wrongly, you have to tag them correctly, but you can only open one box. How do you tag them?
2.- The King of a reign has a challenge for whoever wants to marry his daulghter. He has 3 chests, gold, silver and lead. One of them has a portrait of the princess, if the person who wants to marry her finds the right chest, he will be allowed, if he misses, he's killed.
Each chest has a phrase written on it.
The gold chest says "The Silver chest doesn't have the portrait
The silver chest says "The portrait isn't here"
The Lead chest says "The portrait is here"
The princess, to help his lover, tells him that at least one of the chests has the truth and at least one is a lie. How does he pick the correct one?

You got it close though, just need to cover a few more possibilities.

no picture


the first two must either be both true or both lie, otherwise, they would contradict each other

if it is true true lie, then there is no picture

if it is lie lie true, then there are two pictures, which tere arent

You have a barrel of oil, and you need to measure out just one gallon. How do you do this if you only have a three-gallon container and a five-gallon container?



If your sock drawer has 6 dotted socks, 4 brown socks, 8 white socks, 12 black socks, and 2 tan socks, how many socks would you have to pull out in the dark to be sure you had a matching pair?

2.- A Guy has to cross a river, he has a wolf a sheep and a cabbage, if he leaves the cabbage alone with the sheep, the sheep eats it, if he leaves the wolf with the sheep, the wolf its it. He can only cross one thing with him at the time, how does he cross them?

 Answer

9567 + 1085 = 10652
Reasoning (this is what went on my mind chronologically, so I'll just copy/paste
__S-E-N-D
__M-O-R-E
M-O-N-E-Y

s + 1 = 10 + o = 10 or
s + 1 = 10 + o = 11, which means: o = 1 (rejected)
=>
s + 1 = 10 => o = 0 => e + o < 10 => s = 10 - 1 = 9
(if e + o = 10, n = 0 so no way in hell)
======================================================

e + o = n and o = 0 => e + o + 1 = n
=> n = e + 1
=>
n + r = 10 + e, or
n + r = 10 + e - 1

If:
e + 1 = e + 10 - r => r = 9 (rejected)
e + 1 = e + 10 - 1 - r => r = 8

n + 8 > 10 => n > 2
=> n -> [4, 5, 6, 7], e -> [3, 4, 5, 6]

Because n = e + 1
n + 8 = e + 1 + 8 = (10 + e) - 1 => d + e > 10

However, y can't be: 0, 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 => y -> [2, 3, 4]

If y = 2 => d + e = 10 + 2 => d = 7, e = 5, n = 6
check: 9567 + 1085 = 10652 (correct)
If y = 3 => d + e = 10 + 3 => d = 7, e = 6, n = 7 (rejected)
If y = 4 => d + e = 10 + 4 => even larger so nothx.
