asterix Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Have you ever stopped just before crossing the road (at the pertex of using mobile phone etc.) in order to let the oncoming vehicle go instead of taking the "favour" of the driver who will stop the vehicle to let you cross? You thinking "why should I take the ehsaan of the driver..let him/her go, then being a proud person, I'll cross.."... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sachin=GOD Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Einstein's Puzzle Variations of this riddle appear on the net from time to time. It is sometimes attributed to Albert Einstein and it is claimed that 98% of the people are incapable of solving it: There are five houses of different colors next to each other on the same road. In each house lives a man of a different nationality. Every man has his favorite drink, his favorite brand of cigarettes, and keeps pets of a particular kind. The Englishman lives in the red house. The Swede keeps dogs. The Dane drinks tea. The green house is just to the left of the white one. The owner of the green house drinks coffee. The Pall Mall smoker keeps birds. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhills. The man in the center house drinks milk. The Norwegian lives in the first house. The Blend smoker has a neighbor who keeps cats. The man who smokes Blue Masters drinks bier. The man who keeps horses lives next to the Dunhill smoker. The German smokes Prince. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house. The Blend smoker has a neighbor who drinks water. The question to be answered is: Who keeps the fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariyam Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I don't understand why the word 'genuine' is always used as a prefix to 'all rounder' in the context of Cricket? We never hear about genuine wicket keepers or genuine batsmen or genuine off spinners. But you often hear "Is Ashwin a genuine all rounder? Is Harbhajjan a genuine all rounder?" :hmmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there are "batting" alrounders like Bhajji and "bowling" allrounders like Jaddu and on top of that you have "wicketkeeping" allrounders like Dhoni.. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
