Maths, logic, trivia, puns, general silliness - an assortment of stuff too disparate to go under any other title. In other words, same old rubbish. [Linked Image]

-1. On a standard 8x8 chessboard, how many different squares of any size (from 1x1 to 8x8) are there?

-2. A Frib is neither a Loji nor a Mith
A Twog is a Dork or a Nurf
A Gluc is neither a Caln nor a Josh
A Shen is a Loji or a Nurf
A Korl is neither a Dork nor a Nurf
A Brut is a Caln or a Josh
A Frib is a Josh or a Nurf
A Korl is a Josh

Who is which?

-3. Ten men live in a street. A B C D and E live at numbers 1-5 and F G H I and J live at numbers 6-10, but not necessarily in that order. The houses are arranged so:
Code
 1    2    3    4    5

 10   9    8    7    6 


The man next door to the man opposite I is E
F lives three houses away from G
H lives opposite C
If C is not central, then A is
B lives three houses away from C
If F is not central, then I is
D lives opposite G
The man next door to the man opposite A is J
C does not live at number 5

Who lives where?

-4. FARM is the shortest word that will provide the letters to make AM, FAR and MAR. In a similar manner, which is the shortest word that will provide the letters to make STRIDE, TAX, MOUSE and BOARD?

-5. " A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP" was the final tweet of whch actor?

-6. Which number comes next in this series and why:? 100, 121, 144, 202, 244, 400

-7. Napoleon may not have designed the coat he wore but he did ---- - ---- -- --.

-8. "Don't ever stand up to be counted. Someone is bound to ---- your ----"

4. ambidextrous wave


Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

The best math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of current decisions.

2. We are told that a Korl is a Josh, so a Frib is a Nurf, a Twog is a Dork, a Shen is a Loji, a Brut is a Caln and a Gluc is a Mith - on the other hand a nurf is surely a nurf already! lol

(I thought this might be all about some word play groaners such as LojiShen, but if so I have missed them...)


Life is what happens while you're making other plans.
