Nostalgia

There are times when kids play with video games here I think of the very creative (let me add this so we can lift our collars..) and fun games we used to play as kids (well it was long time back ..). One day I was thinking of all the ones I remember. Here it goes: four corners, seven stones..(girls play this a lot), color color what color, Police thirudan, Pallanguzhi, LTP (anyone remember this...?), set hopping, book cricket..(this was craze one time)..

Wish we could make a compiled list with the set of rules..
Please add more to the list...let me see how many we come up with..

More Puzzles...

Priya - Need more puzzles...so wake up..
I think only Srik and Shiva are actively updating their sites. Lets all do some thing different. Can we come up with a 'Theme for a week' so that all of us can blog their thoughts on it. This is just another idea. Or can we do something else so that everyone participates? So Ideas PLEASE....

Puzzle section

By the way all the problems in the previous puzzle post was answered except one. Smith paid Forty five....How is this possible?
The answer to this is tricky - Forty is the name of a Person (I have capitalized F)
These is similar to a situational puzzle - you are given a situation then you must ask questions on deriving at the answers. We will have more of this later.

I have two puzzles in this round. Rules for solving all puzzles from now on:
If you can solve them - in the comments section say that you know how to solve. If you are in the process of solving and have questions post them. Do not post the answer so that it gives a chance for everyone to solve. The very first person who says he knows how to solve will actually solve it after 5 days in no one else replies. If his answer is wrong..it passes to the next who said he knew the answer. (5 days total to solve a puzzle and winner gets a Gold Star)

Note: These puzzles have been copied lifted from books with names changed...not my creations. Do not google for answers. Have fun.

An easy one first:
You need to bring exactly 4 litres of water with only a 5 jar and a 3 unit jar. How?
(Madraslai irukaravanga ithai easya solve panniduvanga)


This is hard - There are assumptions but mathematically we can arrive at the answer(Kona buthi irukaravangalai naan convince panratha illai)

A man walks into a restaurant, orders a coffee, and starts chatting with the
waiter. After a while, he learns that the waiter has three
children. "How old are your kids?" he asks. "Well," replies the
waiter, "the product of their ages is 72." The man thinks for a
moment and then says, "that's not enough information." "All right,"
continues the waiter, "if you go outside and look at the building
number posted over the door to the restaurant, you'll see the sum of the
ages." The man steps outside, and after a few moments he reenters and
declares, "Still not enough!" The waiter smiles and says, "My
youngest just loves mango ice cream."


Then how old are they?
(Assumption I did for you: Age is not a fraction)


Puzzle with words: Take the name Eli and add three letters in front of it. Add the same three letters in reverse order after it to complete a familiar two-word phrase in nine letters. What is it?
Hint: The answer is something this puzzle has.

Awesome talents !! - exhibited by our fellow bloggers..

guys,

i donno how many of us know about this site.

http://www.blogswara.in/home.htm


Their explanation about them goes like this.

BlogSwara is a collaborative musical endeavor by a group of Indian bloggers around the world. For the first version we have songs in 3 different Indian languages. Malayalam, Tamil and Hindi. Everything is done by the bloggers themselves. Lyrics, Music, Orchestration, Vocals, Recording and Mixing. Everything is done online. Everybody works from their own place that is in different parts of the world.

With everything that goes into the process of making a music album done by us, the music is an interesting mix of rawness and finesse, and of tradition and modernism and post modernism, and of our loves, hopes and desires.

We are driven by our love of music and the joy in collaboration to create our own sound. We are not dictated by any commercial goals and pressures. We haven’t met physically, but here we are: United in Music. The music of this endeavor is available for download and you can listen at your ease. You can also listen to the streaming audio from our songs page.


I heard all the songs. totally impressed. Immense talent. Great work mates.

vaazhthukal manathilirunthu. everybody must pay visit to their site.

Images from VFS-USA website...

Is the 2nd letter "e" or "c"? This is what I refered to in the comments that I have put in the other post for Priya's thoughts on Citibank website.

I got this image first. Since I type a 'c', it errored out. Then it gave the 3rd image. Notice the positions of "e" in these images. How is it fair?

Cloud Appreciation society

Worst web site award

LIC the one company I hate. They have a number of schemes..most of them sound like this to me "you invest 50000Rs every year starting from now and after you die or when you are really looking forward to die we will give you FIVE lakhs" - that is worth peanuts by that time. Essentially you dont get to enjoy the hard earned money you saved and we make sure of it the minute you fell prey to our "scheme".

Anyways I thought I hated the LIC experience the most until I opened a citi NRI account. Well its just my money sitting in a bank. Not much interest..but better than nothing that bank of america pays....no tricks..no schemes..every transaction is online..quick...Its the worst designed web site. There are a million things I hate about the site (although their DD service is pretty fast and good).

Ignore the flying ads and banners and pop ups without a close buttons..these are so common now... There are other bizarre things in this site..

When you click another tab which looks like a menu a totally new window opens up
so you end up creating many tiny windows all of which look alike (I meant ugly) so you dont know which ugly one you are working on currently.

The most interesting "feature" is an existing user always logs in as "guest"! I dont know how they got that messed up (may be just forgot to add a NOT somewhere in the code)

By the way if you forgot the citibank India site and started from the citibank main site thats another totally new path. It will take easily two to three minutes and few clicks to reach to the NRI India site.. (This has changed now...thanks..)

Okay fine you thought you almost got to the login page: The login page says
Use your keyboard to enter your 16 digit ATM / Debit Card Number or Credit Card Number or Loan ID or World Money Card. Well you think whats funny about this..ofcourse I will use a keyboard.. (any other ideas..)







You are wrong..for the next edit box in which you have to enter your password you cannot use keyboard. You "have" to use a mouse and click the buttons on the right. It is a good security feature but somehow makes me think I need to wear a hackers hat and think like one if I need to get to "my" account page..

IPIN is internet PIN... I suppose what is QPIN?




This is how the keyboard buttons look

Th buttons arenot like standard keyboard ones..
The buttons keep shifting everytime you refresh or login so say an automatic tool cannot try and hack..but what is annoying is they allow you to create a password that is case sensitive but the buttons here are not (well you can see are of only one case) and if my password is say "H1BaboOn!" try how long it takes for you to type it.


So far so good..You think you are not too far away from your accounts page. By this time..I am too tired and need a break. Well I just checked they have revamped the site. Its not too bad now...still has all the problems above..Anyways they have redesigned this site two dozen times now - I hope they get it right some day.

Start of a new Blog !!

Puzzlers

One more puzzle added:
I have 1000 rupees and 10 wallets.
How much money should I put in wach wallet..So that if someone asks me for say X amount
I should be able to give it to them without opening the wallets (I will be say handing over unopened wallets to them) and it should be exactly the money they wanted..say 11 rupees..or 27Rs, 567Rs....any amount upto a 1000 Rs


Smith paid Forty five dollars for a horse and ended up with a profit of three dollars. Smith had bought the horse for two dollars. How is this possible?

What is the easiest and fastest way to multiple a number by 7 . Computer science and Math experts think how to represent 7 in binary format?? Can you write an algorithm for it?Others just give your guesses..

what is the Sieve of Eratosthenes way to find (small) prime numbers?

Which is the Oldest surviving text? How old is it?




If I keep posting coding questions I guess I would not get a quick response..So let me ask some logic puzzles that I have come across that are cute.

There is a gold bar with 7 segments..(Imagine like a nestle chocolate bar). You have agreed to pay the salary of ONE gold bar segment at the end of EACH day to a worker. He workd for seven days. One catch though - you are allowed ONLY TWO cuts to the gold bar. How will you pay this man? Think out of the box..assume somethings..

There is a bridge that needs to be crosses by 4 people and there is ONLY ONE flashlight. You need a flashlight if you need to walk across the bridge. The bridge is going to fall down in 17 minutes. ONLY two people can walk on the bridge at any point of time ..The bridge cannot at hold any more than 2 persons.

A can walk across the bridge in 1 minute
..B can walk in 2 minutes
C can walk in 5
D can walk in 10 minutes.

How will you cross the bridge in 17 seconds?? There is definitely an answer..Think smart ..and think all combinations..

Hi Tech

Can you predict whats going to happen in 2010. What are the developments revolutionary ideas..going to be in some fields..

People have presented their ideas (some really insane, some probable, some not possible..) and they have casted their votes here. Check this out..
http://www.aec.at/predictions/newrank01.asp
http://www.aec.at/predictions/


I loved one of the hilarious ideas here given by some reader..CONE HEAD
everyone will be wearing a conehead tagged to GPS so that everyone knows where NO ONE is

Things have not changed much in the Automotive industry side for a long time. Do you think of any new ideas
that will sweep the world..in this field.? Think about engines.., technology...roads..
I think we need to develop the next generation machines....

In tech side : Whats after the internet boom? google maps, google earth..AJAX .

What will happen to the telecom industry? Free telephone calls..is it possible at all? Who is going to pay?

About environment : Will we be able to develop new technologies to get clean water..even in the most dry parts of the world..
What about garbage collection, recycling..

You think coffee shops , fast food joints are relatively new concepts..Anything new you think of in this sector..packaging , preserving, catering food?

What else do you think is going to be the face of the new world....not too far but when we are in our 40's and 50's. There are some challenges that we need to face and address immediately without which the benefits of the new world will not be shared by the entire world..what are those? Ideas?

The site has so many contributors who work in the software industry..so we need to have a tech update right atleast one a month? I am going to give some puzzlers and general interview questions in my next update as well.

1. How to design a restaurant reservation system? General idea of tables..associations..
Classes?

2.
Consider this array
int arr[3]= {1,2,3} So if we have an array (it could be having n elements)
We need to find out which is the sub sequence of the array that has the maximum value
(value denotes here the sum of all the elements of the subsequence)
For example : (1), (1,2) and (1,2,3) and (2), (2,3) - like that all permutations are sub sequences - which of the subsequence totals upto a maximum value..(probably in this example it would be 1+2+3
Note: your array could have negative elements also.
We need the index of the starting and ending elements of sub sequence as the result..not the total of the elements.
Can you code this - choose any language - any logic - recursion - do while - for loop..
