1. Gold of King Dadon.

Six robbers robbed King Dadon. The loot turned out to be rich - less than a hundred identical bars. The robbers began to divide the loot equally, but one ingot turned out to be too much. The robbers got into a fight and one of them was killed in the fight. Those who remained again began to divide the gold and again one piece turned out to be extra. And again one of the robbers died in the fight. And so on: each time one ingot was too many and one of the robbers died in the fight. In the end, only one robber remained, who died from his wounds. How many bars were there?

Solution: if initially there would have been one less ingot, then the division would have taken place. A number that is less than 100 and divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 is 60. That means there are 60+1=61 bars in total.

Answer: 61 bars.

1. Ali Baba

To open Ali Baba's cave, you need to solve the puzzle:

Several generations Soviet schoolchildren grew up on Lazar Lagin’s wonderful book “Old Man Hottabych.” The Eastern genie, who incredibly ended up in Soviet Moscow, performs the most cherished desires problems that arise in any boy in the USSR. Tell me what could be more exciting! It’s great not to study for exams, but to have ready-made answers appear in your head. Or become an adult for a short time in order to attend a movie that is not at all for children. Naturally, children fell in love with such a book, and Lagin became one of the most popular children's writers.

But what’s interesting is that Lagin didn’t come up with his Hottabych himself. He was inspired by the image of a genie from the fairy tale “The Copper Jug” by F. Anstey. The book came to him back in 1916, but two decades passed from the idea to the implementation of the idea of ​​​​creating a Soviet fairy tale about an oriental genie.

In Anstey's tale, a genie who once served King Solomon is released from a bottle by a British architect.

In Lagin’s version, the role of savior was taken on by Moscow schoolboy Volka Kostylkov, who managed to catch an ancient jug from the river.

And if with Volka everything is extremely clear, then the image of the genie himself requires some clarification.

Let's start with who exactly these genies are.

A genie is an analogue of our devils and demons, only in mythology eastern peoples. There were four types of genies: ifrits - evil genies who could control fire, werewolf ghouls, very practical and omnipotent marids and weak otherworldly forces.

Old Man Hottabych, full name whom Ghassan Abdurrahman ibn Hottab was a Marid genie.

Arab mythology described the Marids as pale, thin, tall creatures with long white beards. In the East they were not kind. The Marids could fulfill people's wishes, but in return they usually took away human soul. So good genies are a tradition of the European interpretation of Eastern mythology.

Hottabych, together with his brother Omar Yusuf, served faithfully to the Jewish king Solomon.

Solomon was considered a very powerful ruler who knew how to conquer the wind and understand the language of animals. The jinn were subject to him.

However, when Hottabych was 732 years and 5 months old, he decided that he no longer wanted to be in the service of the Jewish king, for which he and his brother were imprisoned in bottles, having sat there for exactly three thousand years. (By the way, it is precisely this long imprisonment that explains Hottabych’s complete ignorance of the basics of geography - all 3732 years of his life he religiously believed in the version of six whales and a flat disk, which is no wonder. After all, when Aristotle proved the theory of the sphericity of our planet, Hottabych more than a century was already in his bottle and knew nothing about the achievements of science).

According to legend, he brought the genies to Solomon for punishment. real character, vizier Asaf ibn Barakhiya. How he managed this, history is silent.

By the way, in Kyrgyzstan today there is a mausoleum of Asaph, very popular place among tourists.

So the story about Old Man Hottabych is a mix of creative fiction, Arab mythology and historical facts.

For example, exclusively in eastern tradition was to depict a genie with a beard. In the East, a beard is a sign of masculinity, strength, wisdom, and experience. All famous wizards had beards. However, the idea of ​​using a beard for witchcraft was completely outside the tradition. Remember how Lagin did? Hottabych pulled out 13 hairs from his beard, tore them finely and said a long and incomprehensible word-spell.

True, during the book’s narrative, Hottabych more than once managed to “produce magic” without a beard, just snapping his fingers, however, this does not negate Lagin’s creative innovation.

"Detgiz", 1958, ill. Konstantin Rotov

But the flying carpet was introduced into children's fairy tales long before him. Remember the Russians folk tales about Koshchei the Immortal and Helen the Beautiful. For the first time this " vehicle"appeared in literature after the Arabian Nights, and later spread throughout Europe.

Lagin’s flying carpet received its new classification - VK-1, “Volka Kostylkov - 1”. Hottabych turned out to be an extremely grateful genie, honoring friendship and family ties.

By the way, you shouldn’t be surprised that genies, in principle, have relatives. In Arab mythology, jinn had a way of life similar to that of humans. They were born, got married. Therefore, it is natural that in addition to male jinn, there were also so-called jinniyas - female jinn. They could even create families with people. And according to legend, rulers and the highest nobility entered into such alliances with jinn. Or people became rulers and significantly increased their status after contacting the genies.

In the story invented by Lazar Lagin, there was only a fairy tale, and there was no politics. Lazar Lagin ( real name Ginzburg) came up with instructive, funny and adventure story for children. Politics interfered with the book later.

The first version of the story “Old Man Hottabych” was published in parts in the children’s magazine “Pioneer” and the newspaper “Pionerskaya Pravda”. The collected book appeared in 1938. However, the situation in the country and the world was changing, and Soviet censorship decided to use the very popular magical story to promote their own ideology.

This is how “remakes” of a children’s book appeared. In 1953, the USSR launched a campaign to combat cosmopolitanism. Within the framework of this concept, monologues of the characters about the horrors of American imperialism and Indian colonialism appeared in the story. Today there are hardly any people who have read these strange inserts in fairy tale story. The fact is that in 1955 the situation in the world changed again, and strange pieces were removed from the text.

But it’s too early to rejoice. Instead of cosmopolitanism there appeared new enemy Soviet countries - capitalism. In the 1955 version, seven new chapters were added, in which the heroes find themselves in Italy, which was terribly suffering, first from Mussolini, and then from rabid capitalism.

Lazar's daughter Lagina claims that her father did not take part in all these revisions. He wrote one story - the one that was published in 1938. Everything else is Soviet propaganda. That is why the books published at that time do not have a photograph or the name of the author, but are simply indicated by L. Lagin.

The first one is currently being reprinted. original version books.
