ANSWERS
1. the answer is 08 31 1380.
i worked it out like this.. before 2001, 2000 cannot be taken as MMDD becomes 0002.
also anything after 14 century cant be considered as 1401 would mean 1041, there r only a max of 31 days a month. so the century nos must be only 13(reverse for 31)so the yr is 13xx. now 1399to 1391 is not possible as reverse means 99 to 19 but max no of months is 12. so 1390 becomes 09311390... but 9th month has only 30 days(lucky i remembered it).. so 1380 is the most recent palindrome ... which beocomes 08311380.
SOln is 08 31 1380.
2. this one i really screwed up royally. it took me 25 minutes to solve.. i took the average speeds, the distance travelled by the trains and the bee, took ratio of speeds and distance, subtracting it from the tunnels length for every time the bee touched the trains. phew lot of calculation.. and got the ans as 1000.
But when i rechecked it a thought struck me... so silly of me. The trains collide at the middle. ie)after 100 miles. that means after 1 hour. so the bee travels for 1 hour touching each train till they collide. its speed being 1000 mph, it travelled a 1000 miles..
3. at 12.00 the minute and hour hand are together. but at 1.00 they are 5 mins apart. so in 60 minutes the gain is 55 mins for the min hand. to be together it has to gain another 5 more mins. so the time taken to gain 5 mins is
60*5/55==5.454
So the time taken to meet again is 65.454
So the hands meet every 65.454 minutes
4. sorry no time to see this and dont remember it correctly.
5. the blonde killed
6. ?
