Dear Admin
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy for visiting your blog. I have a blog on mathematics which publish it in 2 language. I want to visit my blog and send your comment about it.
I have a question. May you link us?
From the second clue we conclude the following:
ReplyDelete* Ashraf is not called Fathy, and he is not the electrician
* Ashraf is not 35 years old and Fathy is not 25 years old
From the third clue we conclude the following:
* Since Ashraf is not the electrician, and Nader is the painter, then the electrician must be Maher, and Ashraf must be the Steel Fixer
* Since Fathy is the electrician then Maher must be called Fathy
From clue number 4, we conclude the following:
* Fathy who is older than Ashraf must be 35
From Clue Number 5, we conclude the following:
* Since Badr is not 25 years old, and it is Fathy who is 35 then Badr must be 30, and he is the Steel Fixer
* Nader must then be Khedr and he is 25 years old
Late, but i solved it on my own i think:
ReplyDeleteAshraf Badr, Steel, 30
Nader Kefre, Painter, 25
Maher Fathy, Elec, 35
Esmailifar,
ReplyDeleteYour site looks extremely interesting to me, but I'll have to check it out further to decide about linking to it.
I believe that most of my visitors are from the US and come here for the riddles, not necessarily the pure math. And so I'm not sure if they would be interested in your site.
I'll have to think further on this.
I got Maher Fathy-Electrician-35
ReplyDeleteNader Khedr-Painter-25
Ashraf Badr- 30
If you try it, it will work.
