Einstein's Intelligence Quiz 

Einstein wrote this quiz last century. He said that 98% of the people in the world cannot solve the quiz.

• There are 5 houses in 5 different colours
• In each house lives a person with a different nationality
• These 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet
• No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same drink.

Here's the question: Who owns the fish?

1. The Brit lives in a red house
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets
3. The Dane drinks tea
4. The green house is on the left of the white house
5. The green house owner drinks coffee
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill
8. The man living in the house right in the middle drinks milk
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house
10. The man who smokes Blend lives next door to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next door to the man who smokes Dunhill
12. The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer
13. The German smokes Prince
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house
15. The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water

With these 15 clues the problem is solvable.

Bar Stool Economics

 A new post after a long time some thing which I have dug from the past

 

A professor of economics put this together to show how our current tax system works based on each segment of our population.

~~~~~~~~

 

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

 

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.

The fifth would pay $1.

The sixth would pay $3.

The seventh would pay $7.

The eighth would pay $12.

The ninth would pay $18.

The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

 

So, that's what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. 'Since you are all such good customers, he said, 'I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20. Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.

 

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free.  But what about the other six men - the paying customers?  How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?' They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.

 

And so:

 

The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).

The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).

The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).

The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25%savings).

The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).

The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59  (16% savings).

 

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.

 

'I only got a dollar out of the $20,' declared the sixth man.  He pointed to the tenth man,' but he got $10!'

 

'Yeah, that's right,' exclaimed the fifth man. 'I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I did!'

'That's true!!' shouted the seventh man. 'Why should he get $10 back when I got only two?  The wealthy get all the breaks!'

'Wait a minute,' yelled the first four men in unison. 'We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!'

 

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

 

And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

Mind Game 2% or 98%

This is strange...can you figure it out?    Are you the 2% or 98% of the population?   Follow the instructions! NO PEEKING AHEAD! Do the following exercise, guaranteed to raise an eyebrow.   There's no trick or surprise.   Just follow these instructions, and answer the questions one at a time and as quickly as you can!   Again, as quickly as you can but don't advance until you've done each of them ... really. Now, scroll down (but not too fast, you might miss something). Think of a number from 1 to 10   Multiply that number by 9  If the number is a 2-digit number, add the digits together  Now subtract 5  Determine which letter in the alphabet corresponds to the number you ended up with (example: 1=a, 2=B, 3=c,etc.)  Think of a country that starts with that letter  Remember the last letter of the name of that country  Think of the name of an animal that starts with that letter  Remember the last letter in the name of that animal  Think of the name of a fruit that starts with that letter  Are you thinking of a Kangaroo in Denmark eating an Orange ?    I told you this was FREAKY!! If not, you're among the 2% of the population whose minds are different enough to think of something else. 98% of people will answer with kangaroos in Denmark when given this exercise. From a Friend

Surgeon

Wanted to be Physician but became a surgeon, don't know why????

What is a Surgeon?

"A surgeon should be youthful or at any rate nearer youth than age; with a strong and steady hand that never trembles, and ready to use the left hand as well as the right; with vision sharp and clear, and spirit undaunted; filled with pity, so that he wishes to cure the patient, yet is not moved by his cries, to go too fast, or cut less than is necessary; but he does everything just as if the cries of pain cause him no emotion".  

published in BMJ,     --------   can somebody please translate in English

I also found a nice English Proverb 

"A good surgeon must have an eagle's eye, a lion's heart, and a lady's hand."

This must be an animal lover lets send him to jungle

Than I found something nice

A physician is someone who knows everything and does nothing. 

A surgeon is someone who does everything and knows nothing.

A psychiatrist is someone who knows nothing and does nothing.

A pathologist is someone who knows everything and does everything too late. 

Looks like somebody missed my anaesthetist & gynaecologist friends

Personally

"A surgeon can only be a surgeon if he has an EGO”

T20 to Champions trophy

Well done West Indies for winning the T20 world cup. Big achievement, they won the last world cup in 1979  and  ICC champions trophy in 2004. This team has come a long way. I still remember the small miniature pepsi bottle, cricket ball and cricket bat signed by Kapil dev. This was the time when Malcolm Marshall used to be terror fast bowler with strong Windies batting line up. of 80s.

feel sorry for Srilanka, having lost world cup last year with India in Mumbai and now losing second time against West Indies in their Home ground.

could only watch few over but enjoyed it

Champions trophy is being played in the UK with opening game being played in cardiff June 6th. I think this is the time to go for tickets. India is playing South Africa. Any body interested .....................................

In the closing note, ENGLAND is coming to India,  cheering for white wash.

By the way got my album for the Olympic coins - shall update pictures later
