The most difficult Danetki in the world. Danets of increased difficulty

YesNo
YesNetka is a riddle in which the presenter tells part of the story (most often this is the beginning and the end), and the players must, by asking questions, reconstruct the story itself. In this case, the presenter answers the questions only “yes” or “no” (sometimes the answer is “it doesn’t matter”). Below are the most interesting DaNetki that I managed to remember or received from you.

PS: If anyone knows other interesting Danets, you can add them through the form.

Exam. Military school. suddenly the student stood up abruptly, approached the teacher, who gave him a nickel without asking anything. Why?

5 Protagoras was a lawyer in ancient Greece. Out of his kindness, he took a poor but capable young man as a student and said that he would not charge him tuition until he won his case for the first time, and after that the student would have to pay all the tuition. The young man happily agreed. He completed the entire course of study, but decided that he did not want to practice law, and went to the village to herd goats. Protagoras was indignant at such a waste of talent and knowledge and was afraid that he would not receive money for training the young man. He decided to recover money from the student through the court. Who do you think will win the case if the plaintiff and defendant meet in court?

Before the trial began, both Protagoras and his student were confident that they had every chance of winning the case. The student believed that if he won the case, the court would release him from all payment obligations. If he loses, he will still not have to pay, since his first case will not be won and, according to the terms of the contract, he will not have to pay.
Protagoras believed that if he won the case, then by definition this would mean that the court decided the case in his favor and, therefore, the student would have to compensate him for all losses, that is, pay for training. If he loses, the other party, his disciple, will win and therefore will have to pay according to the terms of the contract.

ANSWER

This paradox has no clear solution. Both sides have good chances. It will be interesting to see how the court might reason. Whoever loses can consider himself a winner. If the student loses, then he will not win his first case, and according to the terms of the contract, Protagoras will not be entitled to the money. If Protagoras loses, the student will win his first case, and he will have to pay Protagoras. Some believe that this is the most likely outcome. The student will win at the trial, since he did not give any obligations to practice law and, therefore, did not violate any terms of the contract until that time. But, having lost the first case, Protagoras can bring the case again on the basis that the student won his first case and now must pay. Thus, in any case, Protagoras wins in the end. However, the student, if he is smart enough, may not speak in court himself, but hire a good lawyer, who will win the first case for him. In this case, the student, since he did not win the case, will not be required to pay and will ultimately remain a winner.

IN Lately The child, regularly coming from math school, began to bring so-called danets. What is it?

Danetki is a game of situations or riddles.

From the name you can understand the essence of the game: the presenter tells an unusual, even at first glance, outlandish situation, and the other players, with the help of clarifying questions that can only be answered “yes” or “no,” must either reconstruct the whole story or get to the bottom of the reason situation arises. In principle, the presenter can also give the following answers: “doesn’t matter”, “not correct”. The one who guesses what is being said wins.

This game can be classified as a puzzle game. And in the English version it sounds like “a puzzle for those who think outside the box.” I can say from myself that in some cases it is necessary to abandon formed stereotypes in order to be able to unravel the situation. The Danetka game develops non-standard thinking, logic, and also teaches you to pay attention to details and formulate questions correctly. Sometimes there are datasheets with hints.

This game can be played anywhere, in any company, no matter the number of people. There was a case when my daughter and I were in the sauna in the pool and she asked us another danetka, then all the people present enthusiastically joined in this game. It was fun, and the children did not feel burdened sitting in such heat.

An example of a puzzle game - Danetka

The presenter imagines the situation:

A man walks along the rails. Suddenly he hears an approaching train and starts running towards it as fast as he can. Why?

Players start asking questions:

— Did the person want to die?
- No
— Did the person want to be saved?
- Yes
- Was he alone?
- Doesn't matter
— Could he have gone off the rails?
- No
— Was he in the tunnel?
- Yes
— The man ran to the nearest exit from the tunnel.

Danetka has been solved.

Danetka riddles with answers

This logic puzzle got its beautiful name “Danetka” based on two answers (yes or no) that the driver can say.
There are several types of game.
Let's start with the simplest thing: the driver thinks of a word, writes it and hides it. The players do not know the answer and can only ask a question that can be answered: yes, no. The game doesn’t work out right away because it’s difficult to keep the condition in mind all the time.
The question “What color is it?” will not work, you need to choose any shade and ask: is it white (black, red)? Only then will the driver answer you.

It can take a long time to guess what the hidden word is, so there are secrets. Need to ask general issues, which will cut off the unnecessary: ​​is it alive? No. Can this item be picked up? Yes. Is this edible? Yes. After collecting information, you can ask targeted questions. This Apple? Yes!
The driver demonstrates his preparation so that there is no doubt about his honesty.

The second type is the most common.
A strange situation arises, usually inexplicable and illogical. For example, tourists said that in one village there lived a boy who always chose the ruble between a ruble and a 100-ruble bill. Why?

The players offer their options: was he a fool? No. Did he not recognize the value of money? No. He bet that he wouldn’t take 100 rubles? No.
The game continues until the prepared answer is given: the boy knew that the flow of surprised tourists with money would dry up if he took the bill. And so he is quite wealthy and earns more than one hundred.

Liked? Let's continue.
Baba Yaga, Koschey the Immortal, Ivan Tsarevich and Ivan the Fool were riding in the compartment. There was a chocolate bar on the table. When the train left the tunnel, someone had already eaten the candy. Who and why? There are few options here, but the correct answer cannot be denied in logic. Ivan the Fool ate it because the other characters don’t exist.

Danetka riddles are often collected fun companies, and the point here is not the winner, whose sharp mind admires everyone. Being with friends, laughing and having fun is the main thing.
