Question

Once there was a king. He was upset because thieves kept stealing costly jewels from his locker. Here is what the locker looked like:

The locker could be opened by giving its handle half a turn. Another half turn and the locker would be locked again.

• The king would often leave the locker open thinking it was locked. Can you guess the reason?

Answer 1

It the looks same in both positions. Hence, the king often gets confused and cannot tell if it is locked or open.
