Logic puzzle: calculate the weight of animals in just 25 seconds
Logic puzzle to test your logic

Puzzles are a mental workout that can boost your cognitive abilities. Unlike a math problem with a clear path to the answer, puzzles often have misleading clues or require you to approach the problem from a different angle.

In the image below, there are certain animals with weights written opposite them. You need to find the weight of each animal and solve the last equation, according to Jagran Josh.

The task must be completed in 25 seconds. The clever game, which consists of determining the weight of animals, is a test of logic and creative thinking.

The equations in the puzzle give clues to the values of the elements, but you need to use your brain to figure out how to interpret them. When you are under time pressure, you have to focus your attention and think faster.

If you can't find any meaning, below is the solution:

The picture shows three rabbits that together weigh 12 kg. Let's take the weight of one rabbit as X, which means:

X+X+X = 12

3X = 12

X = 12/3

X = 4

The weight of one rabbit is 4 kg.

Coming to the first equation, we have a bird and a rabbit weighing 5 kg. Let's take the weight of the bird as Y, which means:

X + Y = 5

Taking the weight of the rabbit from the above equation, we have:

4+Y = 5

Y = 5-4

Y = 1

So, the weight of the bird is 1 kg.

Moving on to the next equation, we have a pig and a bird weighing 99 kg. Let's take the value of the pig as Z

Z-Y = 99

Z-1 = 99

Z = 99+1

Z = 100

The weight of the pig is 100 kg.

By the last equation, we have a pig, a bird, and a rabbit, and we need to find the total weight of the three animals together. After getting the weight of all the animals from the above, we have:

4+1+100 = 105

So, the total weight of all the animals is 105 kg.
