Double check your answer and you've got it. Very close.

There's a boat out in the middle of the ocean that begins to sink. 15 passengers are aboard. The boat will sink in 20 minutes. There's a life boat attached to the boat that they can use to get to shore, but it only holds 5 people. It takes 9 minutes to get to shore and back. Swimming to shore isn't an option seems how the water is teaming with sharks. How many people make it to shore alive?

13 people . Very good. Most ppl forget that someone has to drive the boat. Next one. This one shouldn't be all that difficult either. What's the last letter in the alphabet?

What's the last letter in the alphabet? I feel silly saying "Z"... I'll say "T", since it's the last letter in "alphabet". ;D Good guess, but much larger. Don't forget your AM-PM. Oops! I see what I did with that. I didn't factor in times that included any other numbers! I left out 11:12, 11:13, etc!

I see what I did with that. I didn't factor in times that included any other numbers! I left out 11:12, 11:13, etc! T is correct. Next one. 5 suspects are called into police headquarters for questioning. They give the following statements. A: "1 of the 5 of us is lying" B: "2 of the 5 us are lying" C: "I know these guys, and 3 of the 5 of us are lying" D: "Don't listen to a word they say. Out of the 5 of us, 4 are lying" E: "All 5 of us are dirty rotten liars" The police only want to release the suspects who are telling the truth. How many people should they let go?

Which ones do you think are telling the truth?
I'll give you guys a bone.
E is a self proclaimed liar. E says we're all dirty rotten liars which in turn means E himself is lying and can't be trusted.

Nope! Don't forget to post your reasons why. Take your guess as to who and why and let's see if anyone can crack this case. Takes tough detective work on this one. ;D

Each one is saying something that conflicts with the others. Only one can be telling the truth, therefore, only "D" is telling the truth.

Everyone else's story conflicts with any other possible solution. Next one. You have a hankering for chocolate, so you buy a huge sheet of 30 chocolate squares. The sheet is five squares long by six squares wide. You can only break the chocolate at the lines that run between squares, and you aren't allowed to stack multiple segments on top of each other. Keeping those rules in mind, what is the fewest number of times you'll need to break the chocolate in order to separate each of the 30 chocolate squares?
