Quotable Quote
"Never forget this: The society in which we live
cannot give a man happiness ... Society can give a man
space to breathe and freedom to move in it; it can
afford him the means of keeping himself healthy and
making himself strong. But happiness never depends on
one's surroundings; it depends altogether on himself".
Sir Sultan Mohammed Shah
Answers to the Quiz (\_/)_(\_/)_(\_/)
1. Global warming.
It is a noun and means an increase in an increase in the
average temperature of the earth's atmosphere, especially a
sustained increase sufficient to cause climatic change.
2. End is the odd one. All other words convert by addition
of letter k as follows:
now becomes know, not becomes knot, ill becomes kill,
new becomes knew and night become knight.
3. Adam= $ 120, Bob= $ 240 and Chris= $180
Assume Adam has $ x. Then Bob= 2x and Chris 2x-60
After they lose Adam's holding increases to x+ 105+ 45 which
is equal to Bob's 2x-105 plus Chris's 2x-60-45
That yield x= $120
