Here's a quiz that requires a bit of thinking.... My son gave it to me last night from an email he received from a friend. Interesting. If you think logically quite easy.
Two perfectly logical thinking mathematician friends Sheila & Colin were invited to a party. The party host showed them a set of coloured tiles (shown below) and informed them that there's a "Surpise" hidden just under one tile.
Each friend (Sheila & Colin) is privately told a piece of information about where the surprise is.
It is commonly known by all that this and no other information is given.
Then this is what followed....
Host: Do either of you know where the surprise is?
. . . quite a long silence. . . no one responded.
Host: Do you know now?
. . . More awkward silence. . .no one responded.
Sheila, Colin: (simultaneously): Now I know where it is!
PS:
Question for you - Where is the surprise? (under which tile)

- Sheila knows the shape of the tile.
- Colin knows the colour of the tile.
