A few brain teasers :
1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?
2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wo nderful dinner together. How can this be?
3. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?
4. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out.
ANSWERS:
1. The third. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are dead.
2. The woman is a photographer. She shot a picture of her husband, developed it, and hung it up to dry.
3. Sure you can: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow!
4. The letter "e" - the most common letter in the English language - is missing from the entire paragraph!

Brain Teaser
My new I Pod Nano
Day before yesterday I brought an I Pod Nano 2 GB 2nd Generation from Lucknow. Although this model is quit old one but it was a good bargain at just Rs. 6K. I liked the sound quality very much along with its size and weight which was exceptionally small.
While typing this post I am listening to it. but I do faced few problems which I would like to mention here:
1. The dealer who sold me the I Pod connected the I Pod to his PC and the cable supplied with the I Pod didn't worked so he replaced it immediately, so I will recommend to check all the parts.
2. This one comes without charger. Only USB Cable can be used.
3. Do buy a cover as it may get dirty very easily.
4. The dealer loaded some songs (as usual in India) but doing this he also loaded some viruses which were definitely unwanted.
So do beware of these facts. One also important fact i.e. the battery is good but you can not change it yourself. You will need to get it changed by Apple.
Above all the sound quality, the form factor and the product all are above satisfaction considering the price I paid to own this one.
Amazing this was that loading 200 songs (around 1.5 GB) took only 15 minutes only.
Now I am searching the net for enhancing my I POD, like games, podcast (I haven't tried it but I heard a lot), etc.
So till then Enjoy......
Song playing on my pod right now : Aa Bhi Ja Singer : Lucky Ali , Movie : Sur.

My Website
I registered my domain www.adityastar.com with the help of Google Apps and my friend's help also (He lended me his credit card to pay). The registration process was fast and everything completed in less than 10 minutes. It surprised me a lot as I never thought that this will be such fast.
I havn't decided what type of webiste I am going to make but it is sure that it will be something nice and hence it will also take some time to be fully launched.
Also I get 200 e-mail id's with 6 GB of space each from google.
Great Service and nice webpage building software so that a novice cal also have a website up and running in less than a day.
Hats off to google.com

Creating Free Wiki's
Creating free sites using Wiki is really simple. All you need to do is to look for a Wiki Service Provider and then its simple three to four steps method. Some times you can also get the service to make your wiki private of public which can be great for various project.
Adding and editing on wiki is quite simple just double click and you can edit any sniplet. Now every one can have there own Site in few minutes.
So far till my experience says that Creating Wiki Sites and maintaining it is faster than Creating and Maintaining Blogs.
I myself have created a wiki few minutes earlier. Well You can use the referral for wetpaint's service on the top of the page so that you can create a free wiki in a snap.
Cool Service.
