The viral donkey riddle. 90% CAN'T SOLVE IT
If you look at the following riddle, it seems clear and easy. But I can almost guarantee you, that your first answer will be wrong!
The first time the man bought a donkey for 50$, so he has an effective cash of -50$
He then sold it for 60$, which means that his effective cash is now +10$ (-50$ + 60$)
He buys the next donkey for 70$ bringing his effective cash down to -60$ (+10$ - 70$)
When he finally sells the second donkey, he get's back 80$, which brings his effective cash to 20$ (-60$ +80$)
In the end he made 20$.
He then sold it for 60$, which means that his effective cash is now +10$ (-50$ + 60$)
He buys the next donkey for 70$ bringing his effective cash down to -60$ (+10$ - 70$)
When he finally sells the second donkey, he get's back 80$, which brings his effective cash to 20$ (-60$ +80$)
In the end he made 20$.

#25 The last will
The sons borrowed a cow. Now the oldest son took the half, which equals 9 cows. The second son took a third, which equals 6 cows and the youngest son took 2 cows, which equals a ninth.
9 + 6 + 2 = 17 so that the sons could easily return the borrowed cow.
9 + 6 + 2 = 17 so that the sons could easily return the borrowed cow.

Careful really hard riddle here!
Please not, that this is only a example. But with this technique you can find the pill wherever it is.
The scale stays in balance.This tells us, that the pill we are looking for is either the pink one or the grey one.
Weigh both pills again...
and you have your solution.
that the pill we are looking for must be on the left side.
If the scale stays in balance, we have found the deadly pill we were looking for (The one we did not weigh)!
If the scale gets out of balance, we also found our pill. This time its the one on the left.
Step 1
Take 6 random pills, divide them in 2 groups and weigh them. Now there are 2 possibilitys:Possibility 1
Step 2a
The scale stays in balance.This tells us, that the pill we are looking for is either the pink one or the grey one.
Step 3a
Weigh both pills again...
and you have your solution.
Possibility 2
Step 2b
The scale gets out of balance on the first try. This tells us:that the pill we are looking for must be on the left side.
Step 3b
Take any 2 pills out of the 3 pills from the left side (step 3a) and weigh them.If the scale stays in balance, we have found the deadly pill we were looking for (The one we did not weigh)!
If the scale gets out of balance, we also found our pill. This time its the one on the left.

#14 Tomato Farmer
If you think, the solution to this one is easy, then you might be wrong.
At the start there are 99kg (99% of 100kg) water and 1kg (1% of 100kg) "other stuff". When the farmer arrived at the market, the percentage of water decreased to 98%. The weight of the "other stuff" stayed the same, but the percentage of the "other stuff" raised to 2% now. This means 2% = 1kg now and therefore 100% = 50kg. So the total weight of the tomatoes is 50kg now. This means, that 50kg water have evaporated.
