    Default Puzzles for you

    solve this puzzle:

    In a country in which people only want boys, every family continues to have children until they have a boy. If they have a girl, they have another child. If they have a boy, they stop. What is the proportion of boys to girls in the country? Assume these are infinite families in the country?

    If we consider, n as the total number of families,

    Then the ration of number of boys to girls will always be 2:n, where n is the number of family and n>=1

    Thanks

    Multiply of 37 by multiplies of 3:
    3 x 37 = 111
    6 x 37 = 222
    9 x 37 = 333
    12 x 37 = 444
    15 x 37 = 555
    18 x 37 = 666
    21 x 37 = 777
    24 x 37 = 888
    27 x 37 = 999


    Nice one:
    111.111.111 x 111.111.111 =
    12.345.678.987.654.321


    Trapeze:

    1 x 9 + 2 = 11
    12 x 9 + 3 = 111
    123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
    1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
    12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
    123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
    1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
    12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
    another Trapeze:

    1x 8 + 1 = 9
    12 x 8 + 2 = 98
    123 x 8 + 3 = 987
    1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
    12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
    123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
    1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
    12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
    123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

    and another one:

    0x 9 + 8 = 8
    9 x 9 + 7 = 88
    98 x 9 + 6 = 888
    987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
    9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
    98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
    987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
    9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
    98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888
    987654321 x 9 - 1 = 8888888888
    9876543210 x 9 - 2 = 88888888888
