Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    I am guessing the reason he got confused is because the number of the bus and the product didn't give a unique solution ... for all factors of 36 (like 18-2-1, 9-4-1, ...) there is a unique sum except there are 2 cases when the sum is the same:

    6-6-1 and 9-2-2 both add up to 13

    Since he said "oldest" son, then the twins were the youngers.
    Precisely.

    You get an e-cookie.

    Anileve, don't get frustrated. Seapahn came up with the solution given the info provided, so yes, it IS possible. Just give it a little more thought.

    Hint: Write down all the possible combinations given the information provided (i.e. factors that give a product of 36), and look at the sums. It should all make sense after that.

    I got a feeling you already looked at the answer though.

        The year 1927

        Can you find values for p and q so that p^q - q^p = 1927? To make it perfectly clea, this is an example for the year 1844, where p=3, and q=7:

        3^7 - 7^3 = 1844

        Can you express 1927 in the same way?

        Note: "^" is to the power of.

        You can do this with any preselected number by using the same method all the time. Pick any number....let us say...974. Add one. That is 975. And that is "p". "q" will always be 1. No tricks here. This solution took me 2 seconds to come up with.

          Circle.

          optical illusion or missing piece ?
          It isn't an illusions at all. The shape isn't constructed from straight lines.

          Optical Illusion Can you find the people
          I found nine, and you can see the dog's anus.



          I don't see the problem with the color trick. I had no issues reading it either way.

                That's the same exact reaction that I had.

                  Actually, I only saw one face in the left side of the sky. There's another face behind the face all the way to the right. It's difficult to see, as it's almost completely hidden. You can really just see the mouth.

                    Yea, I see it, but that's just pushing it, haha. I guess that makes it 10 people, not 9.

                    As for the left side of the sky, there ARE two faces - one from the front and the other's a profile sharing one of the eyes.

                    • You know, there's actually an eyeball up above the other faces on the left side of the sky as well.
