   This  is NOT a joke. If you were able to pass these 3 tests,
   you can cancel your annual visit to your neurologist. Your
   brain is great and you're far  from having a close relationship
   with  Alzheimer.
   
   This is weird, but interesting!

    

   If you can raed this, you have  a sgtrane mnid too

   Can you raed this?  Olny 55 plepoe out of 100 can.

   Azanmig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling  was ipmorantt!



Can you figure it out?

I am sending this only to my smart friends. I thought I had figured it out and had a look at the answer only to find I was wrong.

See if you can figure out what these words have in common.
1 Banana
2 Dresser
3 Grammar
4 Potato
5 Revive
6 Uneven

Are you peeking or have you already given up? Give it another try. Look at each word carefully.


   Answer:
 No, it is not that they all have at least 2 double letters, nor is it about the vowel arrangements, tempting though they were at first glance. I thought I had it when I saw that the second letter was the same as the last letter but no.


Answer:
In all of the words listed, if you take the first letter, place it at the end of the word, and then spell the word backwards, it will be the same word.


Sense Of Humour

Interviewer said, "I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one really difficult question. Think well

before you make up your mind !"


The candidate thought for a while and said, " My choice is one really difficult question."

“Well, good luck to you, you have made your own choice!" said the interviewer.

Here is your question: “What comes first, Day or Night?"

The boy was jolted into reality as his admission depended on the correctness of the answer to that
one question. He thought for a while and said, "It's DAY sir!"


“How?" the interviewer asked.

“Sorry sir, you promised me that you will not ask me a SECOND difficult question!"

 Moral: Technical Skill is the mastery of complexity, while Creativity is the mastery of simplicity.

Logical or Lateral Thinking!!! THINK!!!

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.

Think you're smart? Try this

First Question:
You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What
position are you in?
Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong!
If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!
Try not to screw up next time.  Now answer the second question, but don't
take as much time as you took for the first question, OK ?

Second Question:
If you overtake the last person, then you are...?
(scroll down)
Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are
wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?  I think you
could be in first position

You're not very good at this, are you?
Third Question:
Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only.  Do NOT
use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.
Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000 . Now add 30.  Add another
1000 . Now add 20 Now add another 1000 Now add 10 . What is the total?
                         Scroll down for answer.....
Did you get 5000?  The correct answer is actually 4100.
If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator!  Today is definitely
not your day, is it?  Maybe you'll get the last question right.... Maybe.
Fourth Question:
Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini,    4.
Nono................ What is the name of the fifth daughter?

Did you Answer Nunu?  NO! Of course it isn't.  Her name is Mary. Read the
question again!



Okay, now the bonus round:

A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating
the action of brushing his teeth he successfully expresses himself to the
shopkeeper and! the purchase is done.  Next, a blind man comes into the shop
who wants to buy a pair of sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants?

He just has to open his mouth and ask...   It's really very simple.... Like
you!
