Puzzle of the Day : 62
Sahrukh decided to quit his smoking habit one day, but he had 64 cigarettes with him. So he started smoking them one by one, to finish them. He had the habit of smoking only 1/4th of it and leaving the rest butt. Latter he found out that by joining 4 butts he can form 1 cigarette. So, how many cigarettes in all he smoked.
From 4 butts he gets 1 cigarette. Hence from 64 butts he gets 16 (64/4) cigarettes. Then from 16 butts he gets 4 cigarettes and from 4 butts he gets more cigarette 64+16+4+1=85. So he smoked 85 cigarettes.
