which of the following is/are not bacterial infections

a) poliomyelitis

b) tuberculosis

c) influenza

d) syphillis

e) tetanus

f) peptic ulcer

g) measles


Many of these questions are not well structured . . . hence ambiguous answers. Peptic ulcers can be caused by bacteria + in some instances cancer of the duodenum + Cox 1 inhibitors . . . (15% of patients on long term non-specific NSAIDS will develop non-bacterial related ulcers of the stomach and duodenum).

Queen Victoria was a woman and lasagne is a cheese dish so is not a pasta but then again grissini is also not a pasta but is made of flour like pasta  Cool while Madagascar is not in Europe while the other places are and luxembourg isn't an island while the others are! So I cannot be wrong as I did pick the odd parties!

Your questions should be free from ambiguities to ensure only one possible correct answer.
[/quot

your wrong i will take your question one after another

1 Czar Nicholas II is the eldest son of Alexander III and Alexander is the grand-daughter of Queen Victoria then Queen is the wife of Kaiser Wilhelm. they are all bloodly related. no be woman matter. Charlemagne is the answer. is a tactical question alright!

2 Crete is an island . .Sicily,  It is also the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea.

Madagascar is an island nation in the Indian Ocean.  Luxembourg  is a small country in the western europe.

3 spaghetti   is a pasta
tagliatelli  is a pasta
lasagna noodle is pasta
while grissini  is a dry bread.

Been there, done that.

Read up on non-selective NSAIDS . . . that is the primary concern here in the US when it comes to peptic ulcers not H.pylori.

25-14= 11

lol no

Let your team score = A
Let other team score = B

you beat them by 25 points so A - B = 25

If they scored 2ce their score they'd beat you by 14 points so 2B - A = 14

Add both equations together . . . B = 39

Plug B back into the first equation . . . A - 39 = 25

A = 64.

Simple algebra.  Grin

You bought a ten-gallon hat as a souvenir of a visit to London; only when you got home you discovered that the label states it to be only a six-gallon hat.  By now, you were sceptical that it was even that big, and you decided to test it by trying to fill it with 6 gallons of water. 
The only containers you have on hand are a 9-gallon and a 4-gallon container. 
Using them, how were you able to pour 6 gallons into the hat?

Imagine a large empty bin.  Say that each minute people would come and put in one golf ball a piece.  The first minute (starting at 12 noon), 1 person came and put in a ball.  The second minute, 2 people put in one ball a piece.  A minute later, 4 people put in 1 ball a piece.  This pattern continued until the bin was exactly full at 6pm.  At what time was the bin half empty?

@stamma

Your questions are ambiguous and can have more than One answer and I was right on all three points.

1. Luxembourg can be odd in the list that includes Sicily, Madagascar and Crete because it is the only non-island. However, Madagascar can also be odd because it is not part of the EU. Luxembourg, Sicily(Italy) and Crete(Greece) are members of the EU. So I CANNOT BE WRONG!!!!!

2.  Queen Victoria is a Woman and that can be odd in a list that has the other three as men. There again, your question is ambiguous and has 2 answers. Therefore I CANNOT BE WRONG!!!

3. Lasagne alla Bolognese is a type of Lasagne and it is essentially a cheese dish. Since it is made up of cheese and not pasta. The ambiguity of your questions prop up again as the others have flour as their base. So there again I CANNOT BE WRONG!!!

i dont think i'm getting this question.  . .first of all i dont wanna imagine what a 10 gallon hat looks like Tongue

first you fill the 9 gallon container with water and pour it directly into the 6 gallon hat. the remainder will be poured into  the 4 gallon container. you since this "hat" is supposed to be 6 gallons, the remaining water shouldn't fill the 4 gallon container.

i dont expect it to be that simple. . . maybe you should explain a lil better

How can you pour 6 gallons of water into a 9 gallon jug? You only have 9 and 4 gallon jugs to use for the process.
Note: The jugs are not calibrated
The clue is to write down the process.

Your inability to address a problem with your questions pointed out to you is the problem. If I was wrong as you claim can you refute the points one by one? I dare you to do so. . . You asked questions that have more than one possibility and I pointed that out to you rather than correcting the anomaly or accepting that fact, you are yapping about beginning of knowledge and all. I still stand that my answers were CORRECT given the possibility of more than one answer to your question.

I laugh when you claim I learn nothing. How can I accept what is obviously not entirely correct as true and claim to have learnt something new? If you cannot do proper research before asking questions, then you should not bother posting!

Whosoever wishes to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details.
Knowledge is not intelligence.
In searching for the truth be ready for the unexpected.
