A clever robber breaks into a closed bank where he finds a clerk. He asks password of the safe from the clerk while pointing a gun on his forehead. Out of fear, the clerk manages to blurt out, “Every day, the password of the safe is changed. I can help you but please point away the gun as if you kill me, you will never be able to crack the password.

The robber ties the clerk on a chair and insert a cloth in his mouth. He then easily opens the safe after inserting the code and takes all the money before he flees.

How did he know the password ?

Best answer

The sentence "Every day, the password of the safe is changed", can be understood in 2 ways. It could mean that the password is different everyday or it could just mean that the password itself is 'changed'. If the robber was able to open the safe with just the above info the password has to be 'changed'.

Agree, Tejas.
On other hand, (meaning a third possibility)
 is that the password is the date on that day.
[I also see your caveat "if the robber... with just the above info...." ]
Well-done !!!
