Hey Kiran, Shikha and Ann :
Fanatasic. The 3 are classical examples of how presence of mind works to achieve better goals than getting provoked, tensed, sentimental and at alst failing.
Great.

Someone was mentioing about "Logical" questions. I just remembered one: [ I think southindians can understand better!]
The Question is : Where Lord Rama would have celebrated his "First Diwali"? People will start thinking of Ayodya, Mitila [Janaki's palce], Lanka etc...
But the logic is , Diwali was a celebrated as a mark of Lord Krishna Killing Narakasura. In Dusavataar, Krishnavathaar comes after Raamavathaar..
So, Lord Rama would not have celebrated the Diwali At all!

This is a general Quiz question I once asked my Sunday school kids. Reference to Bible. Similar to the Lord Rama one.
Q - How may animals went into the Ark that Moses built ?
A - Moses never built an Ark. It was Noah.
You never know, some such brain teasers are used everywhere.

During an interview, the interviewer asked to the candidate " this is ur last question of the interview. plz tell me the exact position of the center of this table where u have kept ur files."
candidate confidently put one of his finger at some point at the table and told that this was the central point at the table. Interviewer asked how did u get to know that this being the central point of this table, then he answers quickly that sir u r not likly to ask any more question, as it was the last question that u promised to ask.....
and hence, he was selected as becuas eof his quick-wittedness.........

Many years ago in a small Indian village,

A farmer had the misfortune Of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender. The Moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful Daughter. So he proposed a bargain.

He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his Daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the Proposal.

So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let Providence decide the matter. He told them that he would put a black Pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would Have to pick one pebble from the bag.

1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debt would be forgiven.

2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven.

3) But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into Jail.

They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As They talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he Picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two Black pebbles and put them into the bag.

He then asked the girl to pick A pebble from the bag.

Now, imagine that you were standing in the field. What would you have Done if you were the girl? If you had to advise her, what would you Have told her?

Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:

1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.

2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag And expose the money-lender as a cheat.

3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order To save her father from his debt and imprisonment.

Take a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with The hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral And logical thinking.

The girl's dilemma cannot be solved with Traditional logical thinking. Think of the consequences if she chooses The above logical answers.

What would you recommend to the Girl to do?

Well, here is what she did ....

The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without

Looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path Where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles.

"Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the Bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I Picked."

Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had Picked the white one. And since the money-lender dared not admit his Dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into An extremely advantageous one.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Most complex problems do have a solution. It is only that we don't Attempt to think.

One night 4 MBA students were boozing till late night and didn't study

for the test which was scheduled for the next day.

In the morning they thought of a plan. They made themselves look as

dirty and weird as they could with grease and dirt.

They then went up to the dean and said that they had gone out to a

wedding last night and on their return the tyre of their car burst and they had to push the car all the way back and that they were in no condition to appear for the test.

Then dean was a just person so he said that you can have the retest

after 3 days.

They said they will be ready by that time. On the third day they

appeared before the dean. The dean said that this was a special condition test.

All four were required to sit in separate classrooms for the test.

They all agreed as they had prepared well in the last three days. The test consisted of 2 questions with total of 100 marks.

Q1. Write down your name. ----- (2 marks)

Q2. Which tyre burst? ------- (98 marks)!!!
