Classic Exercises on Lateral Thinking

Questions :

1).There is a man who lives on the top floor of a very tall building. Everyday he gets the elevator down to the ground floor to leave the building to go to work. Upon returning from work though, he can only travel half way up in the lift and has to walk the rest of the way unless it's raining! Why?

2).A man and his son are in a car accident. The father dies on the scene, but the child is rushed to the hospital. When he arrives the surgeon says, "I can't operate on this boy, he is my son!" How can this be?

3).A man is wearing black. Black shoes, socks, trousers, coat, gloves and ski mask. He is walking down a back street with all the street lamps off. A black car is coming towards him with its light off but somehow manages to stop in time. How did the driver see the man?


Solutions :

1). The man is very, very short and can only reach halfway up the elevator buttons. However, if it is raining then he will have his umbrella with him and can press the higher buttons with it.
2). The surgeon was his mother.
3). It was day time.

Classic Exercises on Lateral Thinking

Questions :

4).One day Kerry celebrated her birthday. Two days later her older twin brother, Terry, celebrated his birthday. How?

5).Why is it better to have round manhole covers than square ones?

6).A man went to a party and drank some of the punch. He then left early. Everyone else at the party who drank the punch subsequently died of poisoning. Why did the man not die?


Solutions :

4). At the time she went into labor, the mother of the twins was traveling by ship. The older twin, Terry, was born first early on March 1st. The ship then crossed a time zone and Kerry, the younger twin, was born on February the 28th. Therefore, the younger twin celebrates her birthday two days before her older brother.
5). A square manhole cover can be turned and dropped down the diagonal of the manhole. A round manhole cannot be dropped down the manhole. So for safety and practicality, all manhole covers should be round.
6). The poison in the punch came from the ice cubes. When the man drank the punch, the ice was fully frozen. Gradually it melted, poisoning the punch.


Alternate Solutions :

4. Because one of them did not necessarily celebrate their birthday on the day they were born, but celebrated later or earlier. Much simpler than having Mom giving birth while crossing the International Date Line and tossing in a Leap Year and the like. Needlessly complicated.

6. Because he was the one who put the poison in the punch. Of course he wouldn't drink any *after* he poisoned it. Who goes to the effort of making poison ice cubes, except Bond villains and those bad guys in the "Encyclopedia Brown" mystery stories we read in elementary school?

8. Because they were adopted. It's a coincidence they were born on the same exact day. OK, so Occam's Razor could be applied equally to both solutions.

Dumas

I had some words with my wife, and she had some paragraphs with me.

Sam Kinison

'I've had bad luck with both my wives.
The first one left me, and the second one didn't.'

Two secrets to keep your marriage brimming
1. Whenever you're wrong, admit it,

Classic Exercises on Lateral Thinking

Questions :

7). A man died and went to Heaven. There were thousands of other people there. They were all naked and all looked as they did at the age of 21. He looked around to see if there was anyone he recognized. He saw a couple and he knew immediately that they were Adam and Eve. How did he know?
8. A woman had two sons who were born on the same hour of the same day of the same year. But they were not twins. How could this be so?
9). A man walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water. The barman pulls out a gun and points it at the man. The man says 'Thank you' and walks out. why?

Solutions :

7). He recognized Adam and Eve as the only people without navels. Because they were not born of women, they had never had umbilical cords and therefore they never had navels.
8. They were two of a set of triplets (or quadruplets, etc.).
9). The man had hiccups. The barman recognized this from his speech and drew the gun in order to give him a shock. It worked and cured the hiccups--so the man no longer needed the water.

A little old lady went into the Bank of Canada one day carrying a bag of money. She insisted that she must speak with the president of the bank to open a savings account because, "It's a lot of money!"

After much hemming and hawing, the bank staff finally ushered her into the president's office(the customer is always right!)

The bank president then asked her how much she would like to deposit. She replied, "$165,000!" and dumped the cash out of her bag onto his desk.

The president was of course curious as to how she came by all this cash, so he asked her, "Ma'am, I'm surprised you're carrying so much cash around. Where did you get this money?"

The old lady replied, "I make bets."

The president then asked, "Bets? What kind of bets?"

The old woman said, "Well, for example, I'll bet you $25,000 that your balls are square."

"Ha!" laughed the president, "That's a stupid bet. You can never win that kind of bet!"

The old lady challenged, "So, would you like to take my bet?"

"Sure," said the president, I'll bet $25,000 that my balls are not square!"

The little old lady then said, "Okay, but since there is a lot of money involved, may I bring my lawyer with me tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. as a witness?"

"Sure!" replied the confident president.

That night, the president got very nervous about the bet and spent a long time in front of a mirror checking his balls, turning from side to side, again and again. He thoroughly checked them out until he was sure there was absolutely no way his balls were square and that he would win the bet.

The next morning, at precisely 10:00 am, the little old lady appeared with her lawyer at the president's office. She introduced the lawyer to the president and repeated the bet: "$25,000 says the president's balls are square!"

The president agreed with the bet again and the old lady asked him to drop his pants so they could all see.

The president did.

The little old lady peered closely at his balls and then asked if she could feel them.

"Well, Okay," said the president, "$25,000 is a lot of money, so I guess you should be absolutely sure."

Just then, he noticed that the lawyer was quietly banging his head against the wall.

The President asked the old lady, "What the hell's the matter with your lawyer?"

She replied, "Nothing, except I bet him $100,000 that at 10:00 a.m. today, I'd have The Bank of Canada's president's balls in my hand."

I thought the management agreement with Emirates was over. Interesting news drunken


----------- From an old newspaper article

SriLankan Airlines, which has been witnessing growth in load factors and route network post entering into a management contract with Emirates and going in for re-branding, has decided to renew the 10-year management contract that is due for expiry in March, 2008. Currently, negotiations are on between the two airlines and the contract is expected to be signed by April next year. Currently, Emirates has 40 per cent stake in the airline and while it has proposed to buy more stake, SriLankan Airlines is looking at increasing its own profitability. With a view to enhance its profits, the airline has proposed that it should be allowed to use two of the 50 Airbus A380, which will be delivered to Emirates by early 2009. SriLankan Airlines is planning to deploy these two aircraft on Indian routes.

"We will be signing the new management contract with Emirates once all the negotiations are finalised," Peter Hill, Chief Executive Officer, SriLankan Airlines, confirmed on the sidelines of a party held recently in Mumbai to celebrate the airline's achievement of 100 weekly flights to India.

The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number.

Why was that gauge used?

Because that's the way they built them in England, and English expatriates built the US Railroads.

Why did the English build them like that?

Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used.

Why did "they" use that gauge then?

Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing.

Okay! Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing?

Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in England, because that's the spacing of the wheel ruts.

So who built those old rutted roads?

Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (and England) for their legions. The roads have been used ever since.

And the ruts in the roads?

Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome, they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing.


The United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for! an Imperial Roman war chariot. And bureaucracies live forever.

So the next time you are handed a spec and told we have always done it that way and wonder what horse's ass came up with that, you may be exactly right, because the Imperial Roman war chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the back ends of two war horses.

Now the twist to the story...


When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad (NO YOU CAN NEVER SEE IT AGAIN!), there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah. The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site.

The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains. The SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds.

So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's ass.

And you thought being a horse's ass wasn't important.

ස්පේස් ශටල් එකේ රොකට් වල පළල අශ්වයින් ඩිසයින් කරන විට - ලංකාවේ මාර්ග සැලසුම් කලේ හරක් !

පුරාණ ලංකාවේ ගම් අතර භාණ්ඩ ප්‍රවාහනය සඳහා යොදා ගැනුනේ තවලම් ය. ගවයන්ගේ පිට උඩ බඩු පොදි බැඳ එක පේලියට දක්කාගෙන යන ලදී.
මේ කාලයේ නිසි ලෙස නියමිත ස්ථාන වලින් සාදන ලද පාරවල් නොතිබූ අතර කැලෑ මන්ඩි අතරින් සැතපුම් ගණන් ගවයින් දැක්කිමට සිදුවිය.
වැසි කාලයට පසු වැවෙන කැලැව නිසා අඩි පාරවල් මැකීගිය විට හැමදා යන ගමන පුරුදු නායක ගවයින් තමන්ට පහසු සම උස ස්ථාන වලින් කැලෑව පීරා ගෙන අවශ්‍ය දෙසට ගමන් කලෝය. පසු පස එන අනිත් ගවයින්ද මේ පාරේම යමින් ගමන් කරති.
මෙසේ කාලයක් ගත වෙන විට තවලම් කණ්ඩායම් වල ගමන් වැඩි වන ප්‍රදේශ වල මාර්ග නැවත කැලෑවෙන් නොවැසි ස්ථිර අඩි පාරක් බවට පත් වෙයි.
පසු කාලවල ගැල් කරත්තද මේ මාර්ග වලම යාම නිසා පාර තවත් පලල් විය.
වර්තමානයේ කාපට් කර සුපිරි වාහන යන තත්වයට සකස් කර පළල වී ඇත්තේ අතීතයේ මේ හරකුන් විසින් ඩිසයින් කරන ලද මාර්ගය.
බොහෝ මහා මාර්ග වල අනවශ්‍ය වංගු ඇතිවී නගර අතර දුර සැහෙන්න වැඩිවී ඇත්තේ මේ නිසාය. ඒවා දැන් කෙලින් කර ගැනීමට නොහැකි ව හරකුන් ගිය පාරේම අපිත් යමින් සිටිමු.

- Explained to me by a civil engineer when I was working in a road construction project.

අලුතින්ම සැදු මාතර අධිවේගී පාර පමණක් කෙලින් දමාගන්න පුළුවන් උනා.
එය සැලසුම් කලේ හරක් නොවන බව මින් ඔප්පු වේ. !
