give it a try :)

this is supposed to be one of the "questions asked during interviews".. try answering it..

a cricket match is going on. the team batting second needs 7 runs to win. both the batsmen who are batting are in 94*. both hit centuries and remain unbeaten. how is this possible ???

by the way, this is a pakka logical question.. ;)

    batsman no 1 :: just strokes behind the keeper and runs for a single but fortunately for him it hits the helmet(of the keeper==>5 runs) so he gets 1+5 runs..... That gives him his century and he is also off the strike....!
    the next ball as expected the next batsman(batsman no 2) hits six (LIKE THE WAY MADDY DOES IT IN "PRIYAMANA THOZHI") and reaches his century.....!
    Thus both the batsman have reached their hundreds and the game which needed only 7 runs off 3 balls is also won....!
    (pretty big essay??? :D)

    the first ball is hit for a four. 1st batsmen on 98. 3 runs to win. second ball he strikes and run 3 runs.. but 1 run is short.
    so only two runs are counted and sides are changed
    . now the first batsmen has a century
    On the last ball the second batsmen hits a six and reaches 100 and also winning the game
    now both players get a century for last 3 balls from same over.

    hello young guys..dont break your head..one guy hits a six and in the next over, the other guy hits a six..so simple..the question does not say how many balls remain..

    hey meera..

    even this is posible...

    batsman1 hits a four in the first ball..

    in the 2nd ball he completes 2 runs and while trying to run the 3rd batsman1 gets out ..

    now batsman1 has completed his 100 and got out.. batsman2 will be on strike...

    he hits a 6 to complete his 100..
