What is the missing number in this series? 8 2 14 6 11 ? 14 6 18 12

Who is your father's only son's brother's uncle's wife's daughter's brother's father's son?

A traveler, on his way to a certain village, reaches a road junction, where he can turn left or right. He knows that only one of the two roads leads to village, but unfortunately, he does not know which one. Fortunately, he sees two twin-brothers standing at the road junction, and he decides to ask them for directions.

The traveler knows that one of the two brothers always tells the truth and the other one always lies. Unfortunately, he does not know which one always tells the truth and which one always lies.

Question:
How can the traveler find out the way to village by asking just "one" question to "one" of the two brothers?

This web-based puzzle will test your powers of deduction, reasoning, logic, creativity, research, ability to see connections between apparently unrelated things, and your ability to think outside the box in general. In order to get the most out of this brain-teaser, you will need to have a computer. (Which you obviously do.) Unlike many similar puzzles of this type, the tools you need to solve these puzzles are part of your operating system already:

* A web browser (duh)
* Image viewer
* Calculator
* Notepad or another word processor
* Rudimentary "paint" program
* Media player
* It may help to have a printer... or maybe not

using just four zeros (0 0 0 0) and ANY mathematical operators(number not restricted) get the value of 24

its simple. needs a lil thinking :)
good luck

There is a closed room with a light in it. Outside, there are 3 light switches. You can flick any of the switches any number of times. You can only open the door and go into the room once. You know that the light is initially off. How can you determine which light switch operates the light?

Answer will be posted tomorrow!
