Here’s a great logic puzzle for kids: Six neighborhood children (Leisha, Benito, Delia, Charlotte, Weldon, and Zina) were measured yesterday.
The puzzle is known to have appeared as early as 1981, in the book Super Strategies For Puzzles and Games. In this version of the puzzle, A, B, C and D take 5, 10, 20, and 25 minutes, respectively, to cross, and the time limit is 60 minutes. [6] [7] In all these variations, the structure and solution of the puzzle remain the same.
P. T. Barnum saw the opportunity to promote his show on this puzzle card and offered ten thousand dollars to Sam Loyd to change the name of the puzzle to "P.T. Barnum's Trick Mules" [7] Later on, and after Loyd had offered the puzzle to other firms, it was renamed again to "Famous Trick Donkeys", which sold more than 100,000,000 copies. [8]
Uzquiano (2010) uses these techniques to provide a two question solution to the amended puzzle. [9] [10] Two question solutions to both the original and amended puzzle take advantage of the fact that some gods have an inability to answer certain questions. Neither True nor False can provide an answer to the following question.

To add up 40 + 30 + 20 + 10 using the same pattern from above would be too obviously wrong (result would be $100). The answer to the question, "Where did the extra dollar come from?" can be found from consecutively adding the bank rest from three different days.
