I was asked this logic puzzle in an interview.
Tell me a correct way by which adding 22 to 4 will give 2.
I asked interviewer what is the base of those numbers. He told that those are decimal numbers. I thought about it a lot, but could not find the answer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
P.S. He also asked me to prove Oct 31 = Dec 25, which I did successfully. However, this question made me ask about base of those numbers. However, it is not related to question.
Answer
If you consider the numbers as
24 hour time
Then
$22 = 10\text{pm}\\10\text{pm} + 4 \text{ hours} = 2 \text{am}$
