Javanian: See how she is loved by her parents despite her deficiency. She is lucky she is not a Nigerian, they would have killed her after birth and say it is the work of witches and wizards or she is an ogbanje (evil child)

Why do people like you always say rubbish about Nigeria at any given chance. Do you know how many Nigerian parents have children who have worst physical conditions than the girl in question? But their parents still love them and cater for them despite how bad the economy is. I grew up in the north.i have seen different kind of kids with worst physical conditions.Trust me this girl should thank God for her life..
The woman who was caught on video the other day strangling her kid..was she Nigerian? A girl was born in sokoto without legs and hands.. She is now schooling.. I guess stuffs like that don't catch your interest except the reverse...
I am sure if you walk around Nigeria and do your research(not on the internet),you will eat back your words.. I am not saying Nigerians are saints,but people like you should stop trying to make us look like the number 1 "most wicked people on planet earth".. The fact that the country is going tru hard times doesn't mean the citizens are monsters while the rest of the world are saints...

Sorry for the late reply.. I tried registering for you,but it just keeps telling me to use a stronger password... I thought it was your email address that had the problem..so i registered a new gmail account on your behalf,but it still keeps telling me to use a stronger password.
So i now decided to divert all my classes to your new gmail account..which means that you will be recieving the classes insted of me.. I registered for introduction into mathematical thinkiing,but you can un-enroll if you dont like it..
You can now enroll into your desired course.. Dont worry,you can enroll into as many courses as you like.. If you are ready,just let me know so i can give you the password and the email address.. I dont just want to drop it without you being online.... Hope i didn' t confuse you..
You should change password of ur new gmail account,when i give you.. You should also reset your coursera password when i give you. So it can be private for your eyes only..

okeziejoseph: IF MARK'S FATHER IS JOHN'S FATHER'S ONLY SON,WHO IS JOHN TO MARK

@cuteyangel you beat me to it.....
Baba john>>>>> john >>>>>> mark
Grandpa >>>>> father >>>>> son
john is mark's father!!!

f i o: if u have any contrary opinion this time,post it.

I dont have any this time.. But i want you to explain/educate me on the question..
I believe paradox is a statement that contradicts itself,but is nevertheless true!!! Note: i am not argueing,i just want you to educate me....

f i o: Guys, solve this paradox: what happens when an irresistible force meet an immovable body?

make i try!!!
Since the force is irresistible,the immovable body will move due to the force applied..thereby defeating inertia..

f i o: haba..... No be insult o

No probs!!

f i o: please pick up ur pen and note book and follow me: (1)if u boil 1 egg for 25mins how long will it take u to boil 3? Is it 75mins or 25mins? Just very simple u got it all mixed up at the "service" thing. U're sevicing the engines all together not one-by-one.

Na me you dey insult like dis?? Chai....
Pls go and check your question from the source..You are the one who gave the wrong information..
I wont even bother repeating myself again,cos i've made my point clear....

The eggs looks like juju sacrifice.. Where can people get it?.

stormm: I think folks here should be careful in their contributions. Ugo is a personal friend of about a year and people should be cautious before spewing their gibberish on people or events they know nothing about. Ugo is a young man that recently finished his Msc in Unilag. He got a job for which he should resume in October 2012 after several months of being without a job

A thoroughly detribalised young Nigerian, he moved into the house around UPS area, Gbagada after he got back from his 3-day honeymoon on Wednesday. Only for the police to kill on on Thursday.

Please, lets be mindful of other people's sensibilities and not doubt the veracity of this particular story. I am personally touched because, I saw him that day around 4pm. He was in the company of the same friend mentioned in the story. The friend came in from the UK to attend Ugo's wedding. And they met again when he came back from his honeymoon.

To those who think the story sounds somehow, may they be killed 5 days after their wedding

So people should just believe anything without asking questions. And someone like you went to church today,and was shouting "halleluyah".. Be careful what you wish on others,cos it may just backfire..

jp philips: the lorry is 2'' longer than the crossbar not the load in the lorry, try again!!

ok!!! Since it's a cross bar,it means it is detachable.. So i'll remove the cross bar and pass....

damula: Now# you have a freezer and your objective os to put a giraffe into the freezer. How do you go about these?

One thing is for sure,the giraffe cannot get into that freezer alive..so i'll just butcher it into small pieces and put it in the freezer.....

jp philips: a filled lorry crossing a bridge with less than 10m to destination meets a cross bar,
for some reasons he cant reverse, how does the lorry make it pass the crossbar without a scratch on both lorry and crossbar

NB; the lorry is just 2inches longer than the crossbar.

The lorry was filled,that's why it was 2 inch longer than the cross bar... So all i have to do is to offload the load that made the lorry 2 inch longer than the cross bar and pass...

The way some people just jump into conclusions just makes me wonder.. Most of you guys are shouting,"scrap the police force" "scrap the police force".. If the police force is eventually scraped,who will be the new generation of our police.
Most graduates here dont know how to investigate a case based on their comments here.. @Okija juju,step707 and a few,you guys are making sense....

dlex21: this question is by the great Albert Eistein himself...and he sed 98% didnt get it...can u

There are 5 houses in 5 different colors in a row. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The 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 beverage. Other facts:
1. The Brit lives in the red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The green house is on the immediate left of the white house.
5. The green house's owner drinks coffee.
6. The owner who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The owner living in the center house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The owner who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The owner who keeps the horse lives next to the one who smokes Dunhill.
12. The owner who smokes Bluemasters drinks beer.
13. The German smokes Prince.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15. The owner who smokes Blends lives next to the one who drinks water.

The question is: WHO OWNS THE FISH?

The german owns the fish...

May your soul rest in perfect peace!!
But why was the friend not shot? Cos i know a killer will always want to clean up all evidence against him/her.. If the police man was drunk enough to see the victim,why didn't he kill the witness too... Something is missing.. The friend should be questioned properly,cos you never might know..

f i o: calm down its simple. The boat is the fastest(true), but why? Because the boat uses total of 60mins(30+30) to the village and ack to the hospital. They service both engines together using 5mins( not 10mins because their doing it together not one-by-one). They load and unload passangers for 5mins. Making a total of 60mins+5mins+5mins=70mins, which they safe the remaining 20mins for treatment...CLAP FOR ME.

Absolutely wrong!!!!
Guy your question said the boat has two engines..it went on to say that it takes 5mins to service a particular engine..it even said it takes 45 mins to reach the village,if only one engine is used.. So how come you use 5 mins to service both engines.. Let's assume i want to use only one engine,how many minutes will i use? 2.5 hahaha!!!
but i think the answer should be..
Service both engines for 10 mins...
Use 30 mins to reach the village..
Use 5 mins to load passengers...
Use 30 mins to come back....
Use 5 mins to offload passengers...
I used 80 mins and still have 10 mins extra..

Opera Mini: If you come into an interview session, and you're asked to take a bow and leave, what would you do?

You simply take a bow and leave!!!

We are getting closer!!

stagger: I have said it: until people start killing family members of policemen, they will not stop.

How will that solve the problem? You are worst than the police who killed ugo.. So you want to start killing people who are innocent cos of some stupid policeman..

Omo dat albert eistein question na die oh!!!

...

You didn't tell me your course

manny4life: Oh, ok... I know right, I'm confused with the question, but hey, I guess we both have same answer after all . Although, I still want to see how the poster answered the question with a different result.

ok..but i dont think the poster can answer the question with a different result from what we gave....

manny4life: I'm not disputing your post, I arrived at the the same answer as you did, but few things did not add up, to me, when I did it... Here's my original post



The Helper could have been the father or son, and the murderer could have been the father or son too, but they don't give us any other fact to identify helper and murderer other than

1. 4.... The helper must be older than the victim...

2. 5.. The murdere can never be the youngest member......

Since we know that the daughter is the youngest and the victim, so the other three are older, while the witness was identified, the two are yet to tied into specifically their roles played. This is just my own opinion.

I didn't say you disputed my post.. What i was just trying to do,was to show you how i did mine.. Cos you were asking of the unknown family members.. Let's just forget it since we know the ans....

manny4life: Exactly, I got the above but then I realized that the helper and murderer where not identified so I changed it to unknown. Nevertheless, I really want to know how he arrived at his answers

No check well!! I identified the helper and the murderer.. Look at my post again..

dlex21: no sir!!! someone else has gotten it

No sir nobody has gotten it!! I made a mistake,but i have corrected it..
Witness: mom
Victim: sis
Helper: son
Murderer: dad

From the question,i figured out that ...
1.. The witness and helper must not be of the same sex....
2.. The oldest person and witness must no be of the same sex....
3.. The youngest person and victim must not be of the same sex....
4.... The helper must be older than the victim...
5.. The murdere can never be the youngest member......
6. The father is the oldest member...
So use this mentioned rule to check if ur answer is correct...

f i o: almoast there try again

Ooops.. I just checked i made a mistake.. None of the given options will save the injured victims. Be it by air,or by water...

Murderer= dad
helper= son
witness = mom
victim= daughter
if i post the investigation process,it might be too long...

f i o: almoast there try again

How i take answer the question wrong?
Two things ar involved..it is either you are playing with me or the question doesn't have an answer...

f i o: I was asked this question during my NDA 64regular course interview, we call it sand modelling, it goes like this: their was a huge explosion in a village and 4 were injured and they have just 1h 30mins more to survive. At that very time there was a heavy storm, the roads are also vey bad. As a leader of an emergency team from from the closest hospital connected by 40km road to the village were asked to pick from the fastest means to make the 4victims survive. The village and the hospital are also connected by air and water.firstly, U have a helicopter that contains 2 emergency members and 6more passanger spaces, but due to poor visibility u have to wait for 95mins. Secondly, u have an ambulance which contains 2 emergency members members with 2 more passanger space, but due to bad road the sppeed is limited to 40km/h, it takes 2mins to load and unload passangers, finally, a double engine speed boat which takes 5mins to service each engine, contains 2 emergency members and 4 passanger space, it uses 45mins to move from the hospital to the village, if both engines are used it takes 30mins, it takes 5mins to load and unload passangers. What do u think is the fastest and why?

I cannot use air cos they have 1h 30 mins to live,and it will take 1hr 45 mins for the weather to be stable..so that's not an option atall..
I cannot use road cos the vehicle will use one hour to get to the village and 30 mins will not be enough to bring the 4 victims alive..it only has two spaces for passengers when i was told to save four passengers...can u imagine?
I will use the boat cos if i use 10 mins to service both engines,i now have 1hr 20 mins.. I now use 30 mins to reach the village.. My remaining time is now 90 mins... I now use 5mins to load my passengers.. I have 85 mins left.. I service both engines again with 10 mins. I now have 75 mins left.. I use 30 mins to reach the hospital.. I now have 45 mins when we landed at the hospital.. I use 5 mins to offload my passengers... Now my mission is complete and i still have 40 mins extra to flex....

berem: lol! Na correction I give nau! Enjoy your garrium iv oxide. Nothing do u!

No wahala,but next time call am garrium flakes..... Garrium iv oxide na deadly chemical..pls take note.

bigsecsyde: Which is d heaviest- 10kg of toiletpapper, 10kg of cottonwool or 10kg of heavy metals

berem: the question should be "which is the HEAVIEST? Cos you mentions 3 things. HEAVIER is between 2 things.
The three are all equal I think cos the all weigh 10kg each

bigsecsyde: Which is d heaviest- 10kg of toiletpapper, 10kg of cottonwool or 10kg of heavy metals
