QUOTE(shivani @ Sep 15 2005, 11:11 AM) sweet Vivek : ) .. I took a whole day to crack it Now next one.. its simpler.. 2. There are 9 accountants on a round table. They need to find out their average salary without divulging their own slaary to anyone else. There is only pen and paper available and nothing else..  Will have to admit that your clue helped. Had I looked at the problem before you posted the clue and if you had not said that look at the current number then I would have tried to find the relation between 1st and 2nd or 1st and 3rd number and so on. But since you said current number, I started taking sums and products of each number. All such problems are "Aha" problems. You can crack them in minutes if you are lucky or you can take hours before you arrive at a solution. Numbers amaze me a lot. There is always a pattern to look out for in them.  Will give a try on the accountant problem. Its tempting to try now but will restrain myself till evening. Though there will be a thread running all the time. Cheers, V i V e K ...
