A person forgot his 5 digit pin code but remembers some hints:
1st digit is square of second digit
Sum of 2nd & 3rd digits makes 10
4th digit is 2nd digit +1
Sum of 5th and 3rd digit makes 14
Sum of all digits = 30
… can you decode the pin-code 
Know the answer ?
7 + 6 = 113
9 + 1 = 810
5 + 3 = 28
9 + 6 = 315
then
7 + 2 = ???

Four couples (each a boy and a girl) are in a queue at the cinema. Adam is ahead of Blenda, who is not with Colin, who is behind Annie, who is behind Brian, who is not with Denise, who is behind Dave, who is not with Chloe and is ahead of Adam. Can you reconstruct the pairings and order?
I drive a taxi and yesterday I started with four quick fares, picking up my next customer as the previous one got out. One trip was from Regent’s Station to Waterloo Square. My first fare needed to get to Leicester Circus, where I picked up Amy. I took Barry to Northminster and Chris sat in my cab earler than Delia. Can you reconstruct my first four fares of the day?
Mensa Pakistan website is powered by wordpress, and today, it has been upgraded with the latest release, version 2.7.
The new version sports a snazzy, very professional looking interface. This is the last time (and frankly the first as well) I would use the plugin WordPress Automatic Upgrader, becuase now automatic upgrade has been incorporated in wordpress itself.
Whew! What a relief!
But this is not the only attraction for upgrading to 2.7. To read the full list of exciting new ingredients, read the official blog.
Ok the game is on… Morning Scrabble – Keep it going!!!

Another puzzle from the Friday Magazine:
Tony’s email password uses the letters and numbers TONY1234 but not in the same order. In the password the Y is three places left of 3, the T is two places left of 2, N is four places right of 4 and O is one place right of 1. The Y is next to 2, a letter is in the first place but the O is not the last.
Can you crack Tony’s email security?
Post your answers in the comments
Here a puzzle that appeared in a The Friday magazine of Gulf News recently:
Five people stood in the queue at the post office all facing forward along the line towards the counter. From his position in the queue, Alan could see both Mr. Irving and Mrs. Foster. Emma could see both Mr. Harris and Dave. From his position, Barry could see Mr. Jones, but not Celia. The surname of one of the people in the queue was Green.
So now reconstruct the queue.
