Mind boggling questions
I saw this article by Vittachi in today’s The Sun paper and find it quite interesting. Here is a summary of the questions.
1. In the fourth century BC, a guy called Eubulides asked a question: “A man says he is lying: is what he says true or false?”
Think about it for a second. If it is true, it is false. But if it is false, it is true. Confused?
2. What do people who make batteries have against letter B? Batteries comes in AA size, AAA size, C size and D size. Is this what they called alphabetic discrimination?
What do you think of these self-defeating statements:
1. “I used to worry that I was apathetic, but then I gave up caring.”
2. “I think I am not indecisive, but I am not totally sure.”
3. “Just because I am smarter than other people, it doesn’t mean I am arrogant.”
4. “I am going to give up procrastinating, from next week.”
Finally, do not try to answer this question. Read it at your own risk.
“Is the answer to this question no?”
Notice
I was at the lift lobby waiting for the lift a few days ago. While trying to kill the time waiting, my eyes surveyed the lift lobby and a notice pinned up on the notice board caught my eyes. It was printed on a piece of white paper with only black wordings, no colours, nothing fanciful, just plain black and white and yet it caught my eyes.
Here is what the notice says.
IF YOU HAVE NOTICED THIS NOTICE, YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THIS NOTICE IS NOT WORTH NOTICING.
Well, really not worth noticing but I just couldn’t help but read it. Guess it is curiousity that kills the cat.
IQ Test
If you are an IQ test fan, this may just be for you.
There was a bridge across a river and it closed at 7pm. A guard being placed in the middle of the bridge to prevent people from crossing it after the closing time. Those on the left bank would not be able to cross to the right bank and vice versa.
You were on the left bank and you need to cross to the right bank to get back home. You arrived at the bridge at 11pm and found the guard sleeping in the middle of the bridge. If you crossed the bridge, the guard would wake up and catch you trying to cross to the other side and would force you to go back the way you came from.
So how are you going to cross the bridge to get back home?
Start cracking your head and enjoy doing so.
Meal time prayer
Little Johnny and his family were having Sunday dinner at
his grandmother’s house. Everyone was seated around the
table as the food was being served. When Little Johnny
received his plate, he started eating right away.
“Johnny! Please wait until we say our prayer,’
said his mother. ‘I don’t have to,’ the boy
replied. ‘Of course, you do,’ his mother insisted.
‘We say a prayer before eating, at our house.’
‘That’s our house,’ Johnny explained. ‘But
this is Grandma’s house and she knows how to cook!

Untimely answered prayer
During the minister’s prayer, one Sunday, there was a
loud whistle from one of the back pews. Tommy’s mother
was horrified. She pinched him into silence and, after
church, asked, ‘Tommy, whatever made you do such a
thing?’ Tommy answered, soberly, ‘I asked God to
teach me to whistle, and he just did!
