Here’s a puzzle my great grand-daddy told me in my Dreams. "son, when i was civil engineer there was once A great embarrassment. Once across two points in the City there was a huge traffic of people but no Direct road. They had to travel great lengths in order to reach Their destination.the governor ordered me to build a road across Those two points. It was completed in five years. But Horrors of horrors, as soon asteroid was built, it was No longer required! The very construction of the road had Rendered it useless and unessential. And for that the new governor castigated me and tarnished my good Name. So much so that my spirit still lingers in these Parts. Oh if someone could tell me a reason for my Undoing, i might rest in peace."

Take a lighted agarbatti (joss stick) and make sure of two Things: (1) the stream of smoke is clearly visible and (2) there is no Draught to disturb it. Now give gentle tugs of the wrist. At a certain Optimal amount of such tugging you can see rings of smoke forming in the Emanating chaotic smoke stream. I dont know if this is a known phenomenon or Not. If not, let the rings be known as owaiss rings. The question is, What causes these rings?

When we put the finger in the flow of smoke.due the interference phenomina the rings will form.example take hole in the house when the light is entered then rings will form on floor.like this the rings will form when we put finger in smoke.

He goes 5km to the stream.Now he is 5+6 km North of his cabin and 8 km east.apply pyth -> sqrt(11^2+8^2)He travels sqrt(185)+5 ~= 18.6

so cow boy is standing 5 km south of stream ..and he is 8 km west and 6 km south from cabin so applying pythagoras theorm shortest distance is sqrt 8^2+6^2=10and 5 km from riverso total he need to travel 10+5=15 km

A C-pole of 200 ft is 250 ft from the D-pole which is 150 ft high.. Two pigeons are sitting at the top of each poles (one in one pole).Both pigeon fly towards a grain which is present between the 2poles at the same speed.What is the distance between the C-pole and the grain?
Himanshu
- Dec 5th, 2005
Ans. 90ft
Sachin_kl
- Dec 1st, 2005
Answer must be 90 Ft.Lets say grain is x ft away from C. As both pegions have to travel same distance we can use pythagorus theorem to solve it.200*200 + x*x = 150*150 + (250-x)*(250-x)x=90

SIMPLE.....Step 1: Space between the two poles originally = 1000/(N-1) (If there are N poles there are N-1 Spaces)Step 2: One pole is removed. So the no of poles is N-1 and no of spaces is N-2. I...

A rich man wanted to distribute his collection of gold coins among his ten children comprising of 5 sons and 5 daughters. He also wanted to give some coins to his car driver. He proceeds on the following basis. The first coin went to the car driver and then 1/5th of the remaining coins to his first son. He then gave another coin to the car driver and distributed 1/5th of the remaining coins to his second son. This procedure went on till all the five sons received their share. Once all the sons received their shares, he distributed the remaining coins equally among his daughters. Can u find how many gold coins the rich man had? Ans i think is 881

Total Coins = 3121. 3121 = (3121-1), (3120 * 1/5), (2496-1), (2495 * 1/5), (1996-1), (1995 * 1/5), (1596-1), (1595 * 1/5), (1276-1), (1275 * 1/5), 1020Now divide in girls equaly = 1020 / 5 = 204 coins to each
