A man went to the zoo with a bag of nuts. At the zoo he stopped near three cages of monkeys and decided to give the monkeys all his nuts.
"If I divide all the nuts equally among the eleven monkeys in the first cage", thought the man, "one nut will remain. If I divide them equally among the thirteen monkeys in the second cage, eight nuts wilt remain. If I divide them among the seventeen monkeys in the third cage, three nuts will remain. And if I divide the nuts equally among the forty-one monkeys in all three cages or among the monkeys in any two cages, some nuts will remain, too."
What is the smallest number of nuts that the man could have in his bag?

3. How Old Is Mr. Brown?
"How old are you, Mr. Brown?" Mr. Smith asked his friend.
"I forgot exactly", was the answer. "But my brother is two years older than I, my aunt is four years older than he, my mother was twenty when I was born, and she told me yesterday that the average age of each of the four members of family (my brother, my sister, my mother and me) is thirty-nine years."

4. When Was the Watch Right?
At noon on Monday Alfred asked his father what time it was. His father told him that it was noon, and said that his watch was two minutes fast.
On Wednesday morning, Alfred again asked the time, and his father answered that the exact time was eight o'clock, but said that his watch was one minute slow.
Can you say at what time the watch of Alfred's father was exactly right?
