Stress your head a little

If you don't mind the slowness of Veoh (or maybe it's only slow to me alone) you can try doing this.

That fella on the left, his face is so funny I smile everytime I think about it. Even when I'm angry.

Who owns the fish?

I saw this riddle in someone's profile:

1. In a street there are five houses, painted five different colours.

2. In each house lives a person of different nationality.

3. These five homeowners each drink a different kind of beverage, smoke a different brand of cigar and keep a different pet.

THE QUESTION: WHO OWNS THE FISH?

HINTS:

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 owner of the Green house 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 centre house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.
12. The man 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 Blends has a neighbour who drinks water.

ALBERT EINSTEIN WROTE THIS RIDDLE EARLY DURING THE 19th CENTURY. HE SAID THAT 98% OF THE WORLD POPULATION WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SOLVE IT.

I think I just solved it. So I'm the world's 2%? Maybe in 1899 haha. You try to solve it. I'm not going to tell you the answer just yet. And oh, please don't Google for the answer. Google doesn't give you answers. Neko-chan does. (Damn generator)

Red or White?

I think I’ve written a couple of posts with the title ‘Today is not my day’ or something along that line. Today however, is slightly different. It’s not to say I had a great day, but it was better, I guess.

One of the teachers gave us an IQ question to think over the week but he said “If you can solve it in less than 3 minutes, you can come down here and teach, and I’ll sit up there.” *points to us* (3 minutes because he himself had solved it in 3 minutes)

And this is the question:

There are 3 people of different heights with the shortest one standing in front and the tallest one right at the back. All three of them stood facing the same direction; the direction faced by the shortest guy. And then there were 3 white hats and 2 red hats. You put a hat on each of them without letting them know which color hat are on their head. Then you ask the tallest guy, “Do you know the color of your hat?” And he answers, “No.” They have to be a 100% sure of the answer, by the way. So you proceed to the second tallest guy and you ask the same question and he answers “No” too. Then you go to the last guy, the shortest one, and he says “Yes, I know the color of my hat and am a 100% sure of it.”

What is the color of his hat and how did he know?

For some crazy reason, I knew the answer immediately. Ok, maybe not immediately. But I can be sure I took less than 3 minutes :P Now, I’m not exactly ‘fast’ when it comes to IQ questions. For the religious, they might say God delivered the answer to me, but I’d rather think of some other crazy reason like the answer in the teacher’s head bounced off the ceiling into mine. I answered it and I was right. I hope he was joking about the teaching part.

So what’s your answer?

UPDATE: Carney solved it. So if you really wanna do this, don't look in the comments :)

Guess how much

I have a feeling this place is turning into a food blog. Hahahah! I went out to get snacks today. There was this section in the supermarket which was doing a Japanese and Korean food fair. Yay! Foods imported from those places are usually really expensive and now they’re having 20-50% discount. My mom took a look at the snack that was on a 50% discount and saw that the expiry date was this month. She’s good at that, always looking at expiry dates. And they must be months and months away before they expire or she won’t buy it, even though we’ll eat it straight away, or at least I’ll do it for her. She asked the promoter whether they’re giving discounts because it’s expired. Guess what she said. “No, they printed the dates wrong.” What kind of an answer is that?? A kind where you try to con people into buying lousy goods, or more like ‘bads’.

Damn! I so wanted to buy them. It’s still expensive after discount but without discount it’ll be super expensive. But it’s expired or going to, so in this case I’m standing on my mom’s side. I did get 4 boxes of snacks from that section, ones without discount. And I got Pocky, but it has Thai words printed on one side. I initially took 5 different types but mom intervened. It’s gonna expire soon, yada, yada, yada. Here are the snacks, together with the others that I got.

Guess how much. If you guess right, I’ll treat you to a movie. You are permitted to a +/- 50 cents error. See, I’m being so nice. If it's not geographically convenient, I’ll give you something else. Haven’t thought about that yet. Oh and, all answers must be in by Saturday 10pm.

And here’s the answer to Pic: Sex me. About time.

Pic: Sex me

I used this as my MSN messenger display pic:

Tell me; is the person in this picture a guy or a girl?

Here’s another two to help you:

Gimme your opinions and there may be a part 2 to this post :)

June 19, 2007 : Answer

Thanks for amusing me :P I only asked the question because almost everyone who sees my MSN display pic will ask if it’s a girl. One friend even went overboard by saying it’s a picture of me. -_-“ Either he’s joking or he was standing too far away from the computer screen. I’m guessing it’s the former. So the answer is he’s a HE.

Anonymous – I don’t know if he’s gay. Doesn’t act like it, I think. Anyway thanks for mentioning Rustom Padilla. Never heard of this person before. Now I know who he is. He’s gay just in case you people don’t know.

CY – Did I tell you or did you ask before?

JC – Haha! Good observation. Just in case you people don’t know what he’s talking about, see this.

ItchyHandseng – You’re trying to amuse me aren’t you?

Arthur – And you too right? But your answer is interesting. “Hot” girl. Hmm…

aL – Can…of course can la. No prize also ;P

Well, lazy me finally said something about this. Next quiz!
