Riddle for Coffee Popup Thursday April 2^nd

On a train, Smith, Jones, and Robinson are the fireman, brakeman, and engineer but not necessarily in that order. Also, on the train are three people who have the same names. They will be referred to as Smith, Jones, and Robinson.

• Robinson lives in Detroit.
• The brakeman lives exactly halfway between Chicago and Detroit.
• Jones earns exactly $20,000 per year.
• The brakeman's nearest neighbor, one of the passengers, earns exactly three times as much as the brakeman.
• Smith beats the fireman at billiards.
• The passenger whose name is the same as the brakeman's lives in Chicago.

What is the name of the engineer?

Yesterday’s Riddle: Tennis Ball Balance

7 tennis balls are identical in every way, except that one of them weighs slightly less than the other 6. How can you identify the lightweight ball with no more than two separate weighings using a balance scale?

Solution:
Place 3 balls on each side of the balance scale. If the 2 sides balance out, you have found the lightest ball (the one set aside). If the two sides do not balance out, the lightest ball is clearly one of the 3 balls on the less weighted side. Now for your second weighing, place 1 each of your remaining 3 balls on either side of the scale. If the two side balance out, the lightest ball is the one set aside. If not, the lightest ball is obviously the one on the less weighted side.
