Submitted by Abhishek Jain, on August 24, 2017
Puzzle
Amit Arrives in a small town and decide to get a haircut. There are only two barbershops in the town- one on East Lane and one on West Lane. The East Lane barbershop is a mess, and the barber has the worst haircut amit has ever seen. The WestLane barbershop is spick and span, its (barber’s) hair looks stylish as good as a model. In which barbershop does amit go for his haircut, and why?
Answer
East Lane Barbershop
Reason
Amit goes to have his hair cut at the barbershop on East Lane. He figures out that there are only two barbershops in town. Thus, the east lane barber must have his hair cut by the West lane barber and vice versa. So if the traveler wants to look as good as the West Lane barber (the one with the good haircut), he had better go to the man who cuts the West lane barber’s hair- the East lane barber.
