Challenge Your Brains: Find The Dates on Which The Man Spent His Money

Answer: 28, 29 ,1 ,2,3

The normal approach would be 2 form an equation and then try to solve this but that way we would be ignoring the fact that there can be 2 months involved.

If you form an equation with say x being the first day and increasing 1 rupee daily, you will get;

x + x +1 x + 1 + x + 1 + x + 1 = 5x + 4

5x + 4 = 63

But you wont get a whole number with this equation so you come to a conclusion that there are 2 months involved.

So get the sum of 63, you have to solve by adding up months beginning dates and last date.

Only (29+1), (28 + 2) and 3 will fit in this.

Hence the answer is 28 ,29, 1, 2 & 3.

A variation of this riddle is now doing rounds on WhatsApp, where the sum is 61.

in that case the answer would be: 27, 28, 1, 2 & 3.
