Sure Jas. Happy to see your interest.

Keep knocking. It will break down.

All the best. Within that if someone want to give a try, here is another one, an easy one.

The King ordered his servants to fill up his treasury. Each of the 3 servants, had to go to the treasury, count how much gold coins there was at that moment, and then triple it and leave. But then the King felt sorry for them and thought that he should probably reward the servants in some way, so he let each of them take 1 gold coin out before leaving. Once again the King had a good luck. He collected exactly 500 gold coins in the treasury. How much gold coins did he have before the order?

Anyone out there ????

Samuel found himself on an island where some of the people were liars, and others always told the truth. When he met with one of the inhabitant of the island, he asked him: "Are you a liar or not?"
"I'm not a liar", answered the person.
"All right, if it is so, you'll be my companion", Samuel said.
After a while they saw another man.
Samuel pointed to the man and asked his new friend,
"Could you, please, ask him, if he is a liar or not?"
The new friend asked the question to the man, came back and said,
"He said he was not a liar".
"All right, now I'm convinced that you are not a liar!" smiled Samuel. What convinced him?

Ok guys.. I think I have made u wait for a so long time.. Here goes the answer for the one "Tom meeting girls"

The woman Tom meets at Standing Room Only pours a drink on his head (clue 5). Tom meets Ms. Dempsey at 9:00 (clue 7). Ms. Hennessy shows him her karate moves (clue 9). Dawn is surnamed McCormick (clue 10). His date with Ms. Flanders is at 8:00, and he meets the woman who rips the sleeve off his shirt at 11:00 (clue 3). Tom doesn't meet the woman who stomps on his foot at 8:00 or 9:00 (clue 1) so he meets her at 10:00. Tom meets a date at Elbowroom, then, at 8:00, and he meets Maxine at 9:00 (clue 1). By elimination he meets the woman who makes the public announcement at 8:00, and he arrives at Standing Room Only at 9:00. He meets Vannah, then, at 10:00 (clue 4). By elimination, he meets Dawn at 10:00, and Vannah's surname is Gates. Tom meets a woman at Sanctuary at 11:00 (clue 2). He doesn't go to Funky Freddie's at 12:00 (clue 8), so he goes there at 10:00. By elimination, Tom travels to Time Out at 12:00. Tom doesn't meet Cassandra at 12:00 (clue 6), so he meets her at 8:00, and, by elimination, he meets Eleanor at 12:00.

Time First name Last name Club Disapproval
8:00 Cassandra Flanders Elbowroom Announcement
9:00 Maxine Dempsey Standing Room Only Drink
10:00 Vannah Gates Funky Freddie's Foot
11:00 Dawn McCormick Sanctuary Shirt
12:00 Eleanor Hennessy Time Out Karate

And here is the answer for the abovce question.

Irrespective of the person being liar and not, he will tell that he is not a liar. The justification is like this: liar will lie that he is not a liar. The one who is not liar will tell the truth that he is not liar.

Hence the second person irrespective of being liar or not will tell that He is not a liar to the first person samuel met.
So, If the 1st person is a liar he would have told the opposite of what 2nd person told i.e., "He is a liar".
Since, the 1st person told the only probability of a person's answer, he is not a liar.
