Hello Friends, I am Starting "Puzzle of the Day" series

A man was in a small town for the day, and needed a haircut. He noticed that there were only two barbers in town, and decided to apply a bit of logical deduction to choosing the best one. Looking at their shops, he saw that the first one was very neat and the barber was clean shaven with a nice haircut. The other shop was a mess, and the barber there needed a shave and had a bad cut besides. Why did the man choose to go to this barber?

Because the second barber is so busy that he did not have enough time to clean his shop and get shave.

he is busy because he is very good in his work and that is why lot of customers come in his shop.

a barber can not do his haircut himself. So 1st barber has gone to 2nd barber for haircut. 2nd barber is gud for haircut

Second one probably because he is the one visited by most of the customers....... And the triangle......i guess such a triangle doesnt exist because sum of two sides should always be greater than the third....

Second Q Answer:

This is not a Triangle because sum of two sides length is equal to the third side length.

I too agree with Swetha for the triangle thing, and the barber.....i think that the 2nd barber had a bad cut that was the result of 1st one's hair cut and vice-versa...so the 2nd barber's hair cut is nicer....thus he chose to get it done from him.

As there are only two barbers in town,

The one with the neat hair must have it cut by the one with the bad haircut,

who must be the better one.

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle always exceeds the length of the third side, a principle known as the "triangle inequality". Hence no triangle would exist with such coordinates.
