Seun or whatever you call yourself. Just keep quiet and sympathize with the people that lost their lives.

I fail to see how Seun's comments can be equated to a lack of sympathy for the people that lost their lives. As I see it, he has just expressed his own opinion - a valid one in certain circumstances.

Obasanjo and the past leaders are to blame for all the woes in Nigeria.

This is nonsense.

Live in Nigeria is worth less than that of a dog in civilised societies.

You might want to rephrase. You do not quite make the point I think you are trying to make.

Head for the courts. It should be possible to prove that you are being denied your conjugal rights as a husband and obtain a court order allowing you (conditional) unrestrained access to her room and person. You can take along the police to ensure that your wife complies with the court order.

I do not need to explain this anymore, do I? Read my answer again. It does not matter which one of them you ask that question, you will get the same answer. I could give you the mathematical basis for it if you like.

Only one question, the right question, and you will get the right answer regardless of which one you ask.

Thanks - Migines and Aiphie.

Actually, there is another solution.

1. Fill the 5-litre keg and use it to fill the 3-litre keg. You will have 2 litres left in the 5-litre keg.
2. Empty the 3-litre keg and pour the 2 litres from the 5L keg into it.
3. Fill the 5L keg again and use it to fill the 3L keg.
4. You now have 4L left in the 5L keg.

kulex2k1:
You are trapped in a room with two doors. One leads to certain death and the other leads to freedom. You don't know which is which. And you most definately want to know the door that leads to freedom.

There are two robots guarding the doors. They will let you choose one door but upon doing so you must go through it.

You can, however, ask one robot one question. The problem is one robot always tells the truth ,the other always lies and you don't know which is which.

so what how do u get to know the door that leads to freedom?

Walk up to any of the robots and ask the following question: "If I asked you which door leads to freedom, where would you point me to?"
Go through the door it points you to!

Explanation
Lying robot: Will point to the door to freedom (ordinarily he would point to the door of death, but since he lies, he will tell you the opposite of what he would actually have said if you asked him the question "which door leads to freedom?" wink

Truth-telling robot: Will point you to the door to freedom because that it what it would do if you actually asked the question.

A girl has just a 5 litre and a 3 litre keg for carrying water, but she needs exactly 4 litres of water from a nearby well. How is she going to get exactly 4 litres of water from the 3 litres and 5 litres kegs that she has with her.

My instructions to the girl:

1. Fill the 3-litre keg and empty it into the 5-litre keg.
2. Fill the 3-litre keg a second time and fill up the 5-litre keg, taking care to spill no water. You will have exactly 1 litre left in the 3-litre keg after this.
3. Empty the 5-litre keg.
4. Pour the 1-litre of water in the 3-litre keg into the 5-litre keg.
5. Fill the 3-litre keg and empty it into the 5-litre keg.
6. You now have 4 litres of water in the 5-litre keg.
7. To show your gratitude, cook me a good dinner.

[quote author=aik.mamah link=topic=75976.msg1449627#msg1449627 date=1188508419]Devide Without Remender
At death a man left 17 camels for his 3 children and in his will he said that “ the first son sld take ½ of the camels, the second son sld take 1/3 of the camels while the last sld take 1/9 of the camels. Now how would they share the 17 camels?[/quote]

Game over:
I can c many guys now hate mathematics like die. OK let me solve it:

First 17 is a prime number, what this means is that no other number xept 1 can divide it

17 can divide itself. All prime numbers can.

, so what they need do is to go borrow 1 other camel so that there will be 18 in all,

Then the original stipulation of the will be breached. It clearly states "1/2 of the camels" - unless of course you can convince me that 1/2 of 17 is 9 on any planet.

Now 1/2 of 18 is 9, so the first boy now has 9 camels,
1/3 of 18 is 6, so the second has 6 camels,
1/9 of 18 is 2 so the last guy has 2 camels,
so in all they have 9+6+2=17 camels, so they have 1 camel left, which they can take back to the person they borrowed from and every body will go home happy

Pointless if you wish to abide by the terms of the will.

My answer?
Breed the camels. Strictly speaking, since any new camel you obtain in that way is a product of the old, you have not breached the terms of the will, and you can share them according to the stipulations of the old man when you have 18 camels or any number that can be divided according to the will.

This is clearly what the old man had in mind. grin

You're probably thinking of Methuselah - 969 years.

But I have other ideas. It's between Enoch and Elijah. They never died and, strictly speaking therefore, are still alive.

Of course, Jesus was before Adam, so he wouldn't fall into that category of men since Adam.

kulex2k1:
A plane was to leave from lagos to abuja. Before its departure the seats were filled to capacity there were no vacant seats. On arriving at abuja he went into the plane before the perrsengers got down to give them a thank u speech but to his amazement he found out that there was no single person in the plane.
WHY?

kulex2k1:
A plane was to leave from lagos to abuja. Before its departure the seats were filled to capacity there were no vacant seats. On arriving at abuja he went into the plane

There is no evidence from this statement to show that the plane actually took off. Your submission implies that "he" arrived at Abuja, but not necessarily the plane in question. Your statement lacks coherence and consistency.

2. If [1] is the case, then "he" travelled on a different plan than the one in question. Therefore "he" arrived at a different time later than the plane in question (assuming that it eventually took off), hence all the "passengers" were no longer on the plane at the time of "he"'s arrival.

3. If I decide to play along with the inconsistencies in your story, then I shall give you the answer you probably want to hear.

kulex2k1:
. . . he went into the plane before the perrsengers got down to give them a thank u speech but to his amazement he found out that there was no single person in the plane.
WHY?

Because it was a flight full of married people. Exploring the term "single" further would throw up partnerships (both civil and business), chaperoned children and so forth, but I shall keep it simple. I could use my imagination here and say they were all newly-weds from a mass-wedding organised by the Lagos state government - on their way to a presidential reception at Abuja. Otherwise you would have to answer the question of how plausible it is that a plane is full of married couples.

Thank you for your kind compliment ma'am. wink

@topic
The fact that the tape(video/audio) was beside the dead man is a pointer to the fact that he was murdered. Afterall, dead men can't get up to handle tapes abi?

Not necessarily true. A few other scenarios can explain it:
1. He had an accomplice in his own suicide, whom he instructed to place the tape at his side. This of course introduces another angle to the story with regard to the accomplice.
2. The tape was a set-up. The man first recorded the tape, put it on the ground, carefully lay down beside it, and then shot himself.
3. That was not Mr James' body at all, but the body of an unknown person (who died from natural causes) which had been worked on to make it look exactly like Mr James (Mr James is wealthy, remember?). Mr James is a fugitive from the law and therefore faked his own death so as to be able to disappear. The bullet wound would not be the cause of death, having been inflicted after the occurence of death. Rigor mortis was prevented by storage at sub-zero temperatures. In this case, it would neither be murder nor suicide but perhaps a case of perjury or obstruction of justice. grin

You r close to solving the mystery but yu have'nt yet given us the actual reason y the 3rd detective did not agree with the other two.

A CLUE: the solution revolves round the tape

Don't even try. You clearly don't know what you're talking about. The dead man was holding the gun, so how does that make the gun a murder weapon - a weapon supposedly used to[i] murder [/i] the dead man? Pointless.

Jokes Etc › Re: Solve This Mystery! by Genial(m): 10:33am On Aug 24, 2007

kulex2k1:
Mr. James was a very wealthy man who lived in a mansion he had no family or anyother person that visits him apart from a maid that comes to tidy his house. she comes in as early as 6am and leaves by 2pm.
Early one monday morning the maid resumed for work at her usual 6am but when she entered the mansion, she found Mr. James dead in his pool of blood with a gun in his hand. the maid so scared called the police and told them Mr. james was dead. the police sent three detectives immediately when they got to the mansion they truly found Mr. jame dead in his pool of blood with the murder weapon (a gun) in his hand and beside him they found a tape. they didnt touch the tape but investigated around the crime scene after getting no clues they went straight to the tape and played the tape imediately they did this they heard a recorded message of the man saying "I AM TIRED OF LIFE THATS WHY AM TAKING MY LIFE" and after that a gun shot.
Two of the detectives concluded immediately that it was suicide but the third detectives did not agree with the other two but he believed MR. James was murdered!

The question: who knows why the third detective think it was murder and not suicide.

Why should we bother to try to solve this mystery when the judge (kulex2k1) is obviously biased. Otherwise, how do you explain calling the observed gun a murder weapon, even before anything is established? tongue

The first two detectives should be retired from the force immediately after demonstrating such gross incompetence. What year was this - 56 bc? Whoever heard of detectives touching an object (potential evidence) at a crime scene without first dusting for fingerprints? And why on earth would they play the tape at the crime scene?

Ok grin

- I agree $ammy's right in the provided context, even though he made some unwarranted assumptions (for example, who mentioned anything about a video tape? And who said it captured the sound of THE bullet? The original tale mentioned A gun shot). This does not necessarily eliminate suicide, but the third detective is right in suspecting foul play.

My answer is not wrong.

It is the height of intellectual arrogance to assume that if an outcome is not what you expected, it must be wrong. If you can point out what is wrong with my answer, you would be well on the way to justifying such an egregious pronouncement.

You discountenance the expenditure of energy involved in kulex's answer.
More importantly, you did not consider the important element of timing. If you did not observe and synchronise your time with the mad man's, how would you know when he started to sleep? And do not tell me you can see him - for a bridge that takes 30 minutes to cross on foot, it is nigh impossible to see from outside the bridge, whether a man lying in the middle is asleep or awake, assuming you can even see the man.

Jokes Etc › Re: Can U Solve My Riddle? by Genial(m): 6:29pm On Aug 23, 2007

1. Be equipped with a reliable chronometer/stop clock and fieldglasses/binoculars.
2. Also get a harness with a strong fastening bit and reliable rope (about 1.5 m) and wear soft comfortable shoes.
3. Your harness must be fastened at all times during your bridge crossing and the rope must be attached to it, ready for use.
4. Approach the entrance to the bridge.
5. Using your binoculars, observe the mad man for three minutes. During this time synchronise your stop clock with his sleep/wake cycle to the greatest possible precision.
6. As soon as he falls asleep, start running across the bridge. After 50 seconds, stop.
7. Throw the rope over the side of the bridge and slide over in your harness. You should come to a rest about 1 m below the bridge surface, making you invisible from the bridge. Remain this way for 10 seconds.
8. Holding on to the side of the bridge and the rope, lift yourself onto the side of the bridge and over into the bridge.
9. Continue your journey.
10. Make sure you time your run so as not to stop too close to the mad man at any time.
11. The journey should take you no more than 30 minutes to complete.

You are unncecessarily abrasive for someone who wants a riddle answered.

I do not quite see the point in your riddle. You did not mention anything about the length of the bridge or how long it takes to cross. Indeed, you do not mention whether driving is allowed. Unless the mad man drives a car as well (or perhaps he can fly), I fail to see how he can chase anyone back across the bridge on foot. You leave a lot of room for assumptions.

Be that as it may, I assume that if you are no longer on the bridge, then the mad man cannot chase you back. Therefore the answer to your "riddle" is to cross over while he is asleep, provided your journey takes 59 seconds at the most.

Perhaps you would like to clarify your riddle.

Also, thanks for pointing out the Biblical verse that affirms the involvement of the Holy Spirit in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Praise God in the Name of Jesus Christ!, Amen.

@Pilgrim, from reading some of your discourses on this board, you appear quite knowledgeable on Biblical verses. May God direct you in His Paths in the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
