Where does the twelfth man come from?

This is something I was pondering about quite a few years back (Yeah.. YEARS!) and I did find a solution to this problem as well. Observe the animated gif and try to figure out from where the heck does that extra twelfth man come? You may take as much time as you need but think before you check the solution. Follow the link:

* Solution*
After scratching my head for a lot of time, I had also found the solution. However, poor that I am at explaining things; I believe, this website provides the most apt explanation. DO check it out. *Hail Mensa* ;)



P.S: I have decided to update this blog *regularly* This time I am SERIOUS :D

hahahah.. :P

I go to school, but I never learn what I want to know... Now that is what make *ME* happpyy :D

"I'm not going to so my maths homework. Look at these unsolved problems. Here's a number in mortal combat with another. One of them is going to get subtracted. But why? What will be left of him? If I answered these, it would kill the suspense. It would resolve the conflict and turn intriguing possibilities into boring old facts."
"I never really thought about the literary possibilities of maths."
"I prefer to savour the mystery."

Calvin : You can't just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood.
Hobbes : What mood is that?
Calvin : Last-minute panic.

Calvin: I'm a genius, but I'm a misunderstood genius.
Hobbes: What's misunderstood about you?
Calvin: Nobody thinks I'm a genius.

That's the difference between me and the rest of the world! Happiness isn't good enough for me! I demand euphoria!

Hobbes : "It says here that by the age of 6, most children have seen a million muders on television."
Calvin : "I find that very disturbing...it means I've been watching all the wrong channels."

"Hello Susie, this is Calvin. I lost our homework assignment. Can you tell me what we were supposed to read for tomorrow?"
"Are you sure you're not calling for some other reason?"
"Why else would I call you?"
"Maybe you missed the melodious sound of my voice?"
"WHAT? Are you crazy? All I want is the STUPID assignment!"
"First say you missed the melodious sound of my voice."
"THIS IS BLACKMAIL!"

How to confuse an idiaaaaat :P

Hilarious! Hahaa.. I told you.. I am back :P

Back Back Back.. 100%

Life is jus moving on.. So much happening around me.. i really don't know what should i write about.. Moreover super lazy that i am whenever i find something interesting i make a mental note of it and try my level best to make sure that i don't forget it but by the time i come back to my house after a day's hard work i completely forget the coolio interesting bits as if everything just sublimes outta my head!

I had lots of interesting bits to type.. but right now i can't remember anything so interesting :-( However, from today, I have decided to write more on this blog.. which has been lying untouched from ages! I know this blog needs me :D

Here commences the new life of my Blog.. Freaky gal *new* version :P

Laugh it up..

This is one of the good 'Mensa' jokes that I heard.. Thought of sharing it with everyone out here.

A few years ago, there was a Mensa Convention in San Francisco, and several members lunched at a local cafe. While dining, they discovered that their saltshaker contained pepper and their pepper shaker was full of salt. How could they swap the contents of the bottles without spilling, and using only the implements at hand? Clearly this was a job for Mensa!

The group debated and presented ideas, and finally came up with a brilliant solution involving a napkin, a straw, and an empty saucer. They called the waitress over to dazzle her with their solution.

"Ma'am," they said, "we couldn't help but notice that the pepper shaker contains salt and the salt shaker..."

"Oh," the waitress interrupted. "Sorry about that." She unscrewed the caps of both bottles and switched them..

Now that is called *common sense* which the Mensans sometime lack =P
