1. A German businessman died unexpectedly while on a business trip in the United States. His American friend sent a notice of the businessman's death to his wife, but unexpectedly, two young ladies showed up. The American only knew that the German businessman's wife was a skilled pianist, so he asked the two ladies to play the piano. Unexpectedly, both of them played very well. However, one lady was dressed extravagantly, with two sparkling diamond rings on her right hand, while the other lady was dressed plainly, wearing only a small ring on her left hand.
If you were that American, which lady would you give the businessman's huge fortune to?
2. One day, a wife came home and found that her husband, who usually liked playing on the computer, was not at home. She was about to play on the computer for a while when she suddenly noticed a new text file on the desktop. She opened it and saw only three characters: %)%
The wife's face changed drastically. Why was that?
No Googling! Can't you think for yourself? Each question is worth 5 million.

For the first question, I will give my property to the plainly dressed wife, because someone who often plays the piano would not wear two large rings on their right hand, as that would affect their performance, so the extravagantly dressed wife is an imposter.
For the first question, choose the simple one. She wears the ring on her left hand. Ring 1 harms the piano keys, 2 affects performance. Piano lovers wouldn't be like the other person, so she should be the real one.
Question 2, two percent signs enclosing a reversed bracket, means that I (husband) am already dead (killed), goodbye.
The first question is left to the naive, because wearing two large rings on the right hand will affect playing the piano; people who play often would not do this. The second question, on the keyboard %)% represents 505, symbolizing SOS.
Because this is not meant to make things difficult for his wife, but to make things difficult for us!
The first is a lady with a ring (who would wear an oversized ring, huh!), and the second is sos (half of a percent sign is fifty, got it!)!
Answer revealed: This is a common sense question, so it's not surprising if you can't solve it. In Germany, married people wear their rings on the right hand, which is the opposite of China. So it is for the first person. I also considered that wearing a ring might affect performance, but both of them are wearing rings, so I ruled that out. A person who can play the piano uses both hands, so if it affected performance, it wouldn't make sense for either of them. The second one is SOS; if you don't understand, go check the computer keyboard.
