Holiday Season Global Quiz

oops got crossed with the same answer.

An oldie but a good one:



There are two doors, one leading to heaven, and one leading to hell. Two guardians stand next to each other in front of the two doors. The guardians are indistinguishable from each other, as are the doors. One guardian is actually an angel, and always tells the truth; the other guardian works for the devil, and always lies. The guardians know everthing about where each door goes, and who it is that always lies or tells the truth. The good guardian does not necessarily stand in front of the door to heaven, nor do you know whether the bad guardian stands in front of the door to hell. Unfortunately, you can ask only one of the guardians only one Yes/No question(who will answer your question as described above.) What question do you ask one of the guardians in order to guarantee that you find the way to heaven?

Is misspelled, should read;



We were Independent.



I still only see ORACLE logo and no one elses.

u missed the right corner of the page. Last week sometime, they have added We’re Independent



They got independence from ******* and when?

Raviraj.



Independence day? There is no such thing, money rules, how do you think Oracle got it’s logo and no one else? Is a no brainer to me.



I am starting to believe take over of PP by Oracle is just a matter of time. Even every move PP does now will take into consideration loss of independence by this new relationship. It would be interesting to know how much Oracle paid and if this fee can also be paid by others who want their logo displayed, and maybe even a bigger logo than Oracle.



Just a matter of time until we all have to move to other place, until there is such alternative we will have to live with what we got.

Cork in a Glass



Fill the glass to the Brim (Top) Concave and the Cork will float to the centre.

Independence day of PP?

Gary,

Jet engines do not "push against air".

Rockets work in space and they do not push against anything. Jet engines would work in space if they carried a supply of expandable gas.

Thrust occurs because of Newton’s 3rd law.

Of course, a jet engine has to be able to get air in the front end, in order to burn it with fuel so that the gasses expand.

The Baloon.



Beloon will always move "opisite" Example if you Drive Forward the baloon will move forward if ou brake it would move backward if you turn left it will move left.



Raeson the air would rush pass the baloon and pushes the baloon.



The lock Yes the water level will go down as it only replaces its own volume.



New one (could be used as a pub trick as well)



If you put a cork in a glass of water the cork will float to one side how can you get the cork to float to the middle. (whirling is not the answer)

Hi Mike,



the rolling wheels would not stay in the same place. -the engines push against the air, not the ground. hence irrespective of what the plane’s ground (or carpet) speed is, it’s airspeed would be 50mph, hence it could take off.

It’s groundspeed would be 50mph, and it’s carpetspeed would be 100mph.

If the wheels are free-wheeling, the carpet going backwards will have no impact on the position / speed of the plane.

Mike,



The carpet is gpoing backward becuase it is being pulled backward (by some unspecified, but mischevious entity)

Mike,



How much the guys that wind the carpet before it rains get paid in the UK?



Best regards,

Rafael

Mike,



ref balloon, the movement due to pressure differential would be larger than movement due to centripedal force. I agree both would be minimal, but if anything it will move left not right, I think.



Afraid I’ve got you on the aircraft question:

As the engines push against the air, not the ground like a car would, the aircraft would still move forward at 50mph, with the wheels free-wheeling on the carpet (assuming no friction losses). It would have an airspeed of 50mph (and a carpetspeed of 100mph), and would be able to take off.



Cheers,



G

last one:



An aircraft sits on a runway on a strip of carpet. Its take-off speed if 50mph, and as the pilot fires up the engines to reach this speed, the strip of carpet is pulled from underneath the aircraft in the opposite direction at a matching speed. Can the aircraft take off?

ref the balloon, some more thought suggests to me that even if the car had active suspension and didn’t roll, it would still move to the left.



The air inside the car would move to the right with greater (centripedal) force than the (lighter than air) balloon, until the pressure differential built up sufficiently to balance out the centripedal force. since the balloon is experiencing the same pressure differential, but a lower centripedal force, it would be pushed to the left with a force equal to the difference between the two.

Bang on, Mike.

How about this:



On a gameshow, a contenstant is presented with 3 doors. behind one is a prize, behind the other two is nothing.



He picks one (but does not open it yet), then a door which he didn’t pick and without a prize behind it is removed from the game, leaving the door he picked originally and one other.



The contestant is then given the opportunity to choose to open the door he picked originally, or the other door.



Which one should he pick, or are the odds the same for both doors?

and with the anchor, assuming it sinks to the bottom, the anchor is now displacing only it’s volume in water, rather than it’s weight, so the water level would go down.

If the rope on the anchor wasn’t long enough for it to reach the bottom, the level would remain unchanged.



...I think...

I would have thought that as you turn left, you load up the right wheel so the car will tilt slightly and the helium balloon would move to the left to find the highest point.

I Assume you know about the Heluim Baloon ? Easy one. But for those that dont.



If you place a Heluim filled beloon in a car. Close all Doors windows etc. If You Drive and turn left which way does the baloon move ?

Ok



Do the UK have any Locks Never been it is to cold to my Liking.



Whell any way.



Man is in a Lock inside a bahamas 480 (Boat) Both Gates are closed and the Pumps are switched off and All Valves are isolated in the Closed position.



He Throw Out of the Boat into the Lock the Boats Anchor.



Does the water level move up down or remain constant ?

Not necessary as negative K’s are not possible and -40F equals -40C.



Happy New Year to all.

Appologies for Using Google but the outer space temperature had me going. If this was true you could travel to the end of the solar system and to the sun in your space ship without heating up / cooling down ? Now I remember my grade 1 teacher (She had great eyes) she told me this would not be possible and with eyes like that I believed her.



So I Google it



Outer space is not completely empty (i.e. a perfect vacuum), but contains a low density of particles, predominantly hydrogen plasma, as well as electromagnetic radiation, magnetic fields and neutrinos. Theoretically, it also contains dark matter and dark energy.



Further.

Answer

The lowest temperature found in outer space is about 3 Kelvin. (This is -270°C or -454°F. 0 Kelvin is absolute zero.) This temperature is caused by cosmic microwave background radiation, which is present in the entire universe. Many parts of space have higher temperatures, because there are some particles present, like gas clouds, planets or stars.





Inside our solar system the lowest temperature is about 40 Kelvin (-233°C / -388°F), because of the presence of particles.



Well I have learned something new Outer space is not a Vacuum.

Hi,



Happy New year to all.



1. You are given two candles of equal size, which can burn 1 hour each. You have

to measure 90 minutes with these candles. (There is no scale or clock). Also u r

given a lighter.

How?

Hi Mike,



Great answers.



The base is at the top of the hill. The Hummer goes upward and both cars are broken down. They slide back to the base using the brakes.

Hi,



Few more before the end of the Holidays:



Q1: Gaurav looked through the dirty window on the 24th floor of his office building. Depressed, he slid the window open and jumped through it. It was a sheer drop from the building to the ground. Miraculously after he landed he was completely unhurt. There was nothing to cushion his fall or slow his descent, yet he survived. Explain?



Q2: A man and his wife drove at full speed through the streets. They stopped, and the husband got out of the car. When he came back, his wife was dead, and there was a stranger in the car. Explain?



Q3: Why can’t a man living in Delhi not be buried in Mumbai?



With kind regards,



Samer

Dear Mike,



Super answer on the first two.



Answer 3: The outside has the most hair.



Answer 4: If the man has a widow then he is dead and can not marry.



With kind regards,



Samer

Hi,



Q1: If a plane crashes on the Indian/Pakistan border, where do you bury the survivors?



Q2: A cowboy rode into town on Friday, spent one night there, and left on Friday. How do you account for this?



Q3: Which side of a cat contains the most hair?



Q4: Is it legal for a man to marry his widow’s sister?

Hi Mike,



The temperature in space depends on the location of the object. If the object is near the sun then it will be very hot. If the object is on the dark side of the noon, then it will be very cold. Space is a great insulator because it has no particles to transfar the energy.



.) You were when you started at the same location you are now.



.) You start the contest by announcing that it has started.



With best regards,



Samer
