6. A traveler comes to a fork in the road and does not know how to get to his destination. Two men are at the fork in the road. One of them always tells the truth, and the other one always lies. He may ask the men on question to find his way. What question does the man ask these men?
He asks them, “If I ask the other man which way to go, what would his answer be?” They would both answer in the same way. Whatever the answer is, go the other way. If the man you ask always tells the truth, then the other always lies. The man you ask will tell truthfully that the answer would be the wrong way. If the man you ask always lies, then the other man tells the truth. The man you ask will lie and tell you that the other man would tell you the wrong way. In both cases the answer you would receive would be the wrong way. Go the other way.
7. A boy leaves his house one summer day, and began to run through the woods to his best friend’s house which is on the other side of the woods. It should also be known that the boy reached his friend’s house. How far did the boy run into to woods?

8. Two girls on bicycles, 20 miles apart, began racing toward each other. The instant they started, a bee on the handle bar of one of the bikes started flying toward the other bike’s handle bar.

If each bike had a constant speed of 10 mph, and the bee was traveling 15 mph constantly, how far did the bee travel?
Each bike travels at 10 mph, so they meet at the center of the 20 mile distance in exactly 1 hour the fly travels 15 mph and so at the end of the hour, he will have gone 15 miles.
9. I dig out tiny caves, and store gold and sliver in them. I also build bridges to sliver and make crowns of gold. They are the smallest you could imagine. Sooner or later everybody needs my help yet many people are afraid to let me help them. What am I?

10. A steer weighing 630 kilograms requires 13,500 calories a day to maintain its weight. That amount of food turns out to be proportional to its external surface. How many calories does a steer of 420 kilograms require?
Weight is proportional to linear dimension (length or girth of the steer) cubed. Surface area is proportional to linear dimension squared. Therefore, 13,500 x [ ( 420/630)1/3 ] 2 = 10,300 calories
11. A man rode into town on Friday. He stayed for three nights and then left on Friday. How come?
The man’s horse was called Friday.
12. Five pieces of coal, a carrot and a scarf are lying on the lawn. Nobody put them on the lawn but there is a perfectly logical reason why they should be there. What is it?
They were used by children who made a snowman. The snow has now melted.
Everyone has bad days at work, a boss who just doesn’t get it or the general dread that comes when you feel disconnected from your job’s menial tasks. When you’ve reached your breaking point, the typical reaction is to polish your resume and start your job search without considering whether you’ve truly done all you can do to enjoy your current job.
You’ve already put in significant time and effort with this company – so have you already taken advantage of all their benefits and training opportunities, one that will propel you ahead of your competition when it’s time to leave?
And not to harp on your resume, but are you prepared to defend to a hiring manager why you only stayed with this company for a year? Or what about the great story you could create for yourself about how you tackled the difficult situation you’re in now and made it work?
Don’t fall into the-grass-is-greener trap. Be sure to exhaust every opportunity to balance your frustrations at your current role before looking for a new one.
Here are four ways to learn to like your current job again:
1. Take stock
Inventory all the skills you have the potential to learn in this position and how you could apply them to future jobs. Having broad knowledge of a skill is helpful when breaking in to a new role, but being considered a subject matter expert with an expanded skill set will set you apart in the candidate pool.
Set a goal for each skill on your inventory list and commit to reaching those goals before moving on. When you focus on growing your expertise in specific areas, you’ll be able to seek out more relevant experience and obtain applicable skills more quickly, which mean you’ll head on to your next opportunity that much sooner.
2. Downshift
Being an overachiever sometimes works to your advantage, but being an overachiever all of the time can lead to burnout. Instead, adjust your engagement levels to better match those around you and your current workload. It’s easy to get caught up in the stress by working late and constantly checking your email, but you can continue to be a successful employee without doing these things 100 percent of the time.
Think of driving a manual transmission car and downshifting from fifth to third gear. The car continues to drive at a high level of performance, just not as fast. Apply this same principle to your approach to your day – don’t answer every email the moment it comes in; turn your email notification light off when you leave work for the day; leave on-time; and stop scrambling altogether.
Try it for a week and see what happens. You’ll likely experience some anxiety about not working as hard, but most people will not even notice a difference as long as you continue to get your work done, and you’ll have less to regret at the end of the day.
3. Set break reminders
Taking breaks is easily forgotten when you’re focused and busy at work, so schedule them!
Set a pop-up calendar reminder every few hours to take a 15-minute break – get up from your cube, walk around or surf the web. This study shows that when employees take breaks, they’re not only more productive overall, but also happier.
In addition to taking mini-breaks, leave your desk for lunch and, if possible, go outside. Giving yourself extended time outside of your cube environment in the middle of the day will break up the monotony of the 9-to-5 and help you feel refreshed and more energized.
4. Find value and meaning
Connect with what you’re already doing. You are adding value and meaning through your work, to someone each and every day.
If this isn’t readily apparent, dig deeper. How are your actions helping a coworker or impacting a customer? Don’t think big; instead, think small. You have a thousand opportunities each and every day to pitch in and help others at work. So remember how your actions are already creating positive results and seek out new ways to find meaning in what you do.
Reconnecting with your current role will help you gain even more experience without having to jump into a new situation. And getting pumped about your job will not only make your workday not suck, it will also help you feel good about other aspects of your life, too.
Looking for a job, but you don’t want anyone to know about your intentions? Or maybe you’re using a public network in a hotel or coffee shop. How do you keep others from seeing your browsing history or tracking what you’re doing on the Web?
When considering Web “privacy,” there are two pieces that matter. The first is anonymity: how to keep people from knowing what sites you’re visiting. The second is privacy: how to keep people from accessing the information you send. Depending on your circumstances, you may care about protecting one or both of these pieces.
Protecting your browsing history on your personal computer is easy. Each of the major browsers has a “private browsing” mode that deletes cookies, temporary Internet files and browsing history after you close the window so others with access to your PC won’t be able to see what sites you visited.
Chrome – Click on the wrench in the far upper right of your screen, then “New Incognito Window.”
Firefox – Click on “Tools” then “Start Private Browsing.”
Internet Explorer –Click on the tools cog in the far upper right of your screen, then “Safety” and “InPrivate Browsing.”
Safari – Click on the settings cog in the upper right corner of your screen, then “Private Browsing.”

If you feel sick — and you never get sick — your immune system may be suffering from too little sleep.
Need a reason to hit the snooze button a few more times? Sleep is as vital for survival as food. And chances are you’re more likely to burn the midnight oil to finish all your work (and play) than you are to pass up dinner. But chronic lack of sleep can lead to a host of health problems, such as high blood pressure, obesity, depression, irregular hormone production, a weakened immune system, memory lapses, constant irritability, and decreased concentration and reaction times.
So are you spending enough quality time between the sheets, asleep? See how many of the signs below describe you. Then decide if a sleep deficit is holding you back.
How to Sleep Right, Tonight
1. You’re not hungry for lunch. A lack of sleep can make you constantly want to eat more, or persistently feel like you’re not hungry. It throws off your internal clock resulting in abnormal feelings, which is why so many people lose or gain weight during periods of sleeplessness.
2. You’ve looked at three other Web sites in the last 5 minutes, and checked your email twice. No, you (probably) don’t have Attention Deficit Disorder. Whether you’re writing a quick email or solving chemical equations; a lack of sleep can make focusing seem impossible.
3. You can’t remember where you put the car keys. Your brain needs sleep to refresh and regenerate. Without it, your short-term memory may be impaired, which is why pulling an all-nighter rarely yields better results than getting quality shut-eye.
Is Sleep Really Necessary?
4. You can’t carry on a conversation. Come Saturday night you may work a party like a pro, but as long as you’re sleep-deficient, coming up with witty, or even coherent, one-liners is out of the question.
5. You’re drowsy at the wheel. Your eyes may glaze over now and then when you’re staring at the computer screen or stuck in an endless meeting, but if you struggle to stay awake behind the wheel, or doing any task that puts your life at risk, you’re not just bored. You need more sleep.
Caffeinated drinks, blasting music, or rolling down the windows (in January) may arouse you briefly, but it won’t keep you alert for long drives.
6. You feel sick, and you never get sick. Your immune system repairs and strengthens while you sleep. So in addition to eating flu-fighting foods, log at least seven hours a night to stay healthy all season.
You don’t necessarily have to have superpowers to be a superhero. Here 5 pearls of wisdom you can learn from a superhero.
1. Take the next step
Don’t just think about it and move on. Get involved. Find out who needs your help and how you could help in a consistent way.
2. Don’t punch the clock
When you are helping, it doesn’t hurt to linger. Is there somebody hanging in the back who didn’t get a bowl at the soup kitchen? Is there a kid in the cancer ward who couldn’t make the singalong, balloon tricks or face painting? Go to them.
3. Don’t worry about what ‘normal’ people think
Getting funny looks for dressing in costume or carrying a car full of balloons to a charity event? There are all kinds of people in the world. You don’t know the burdens that they carry. You DO know that you are making a difference.
4. Never forget how lucky you are
Whatever misfortune you’ve faced in your life, it probably pales beside the struggle of kids against deadly disease. You pass others each day hounded by poverty, addiction, mental illness. Ask yourself: what gift allowed you to stay off — or get off — that path?
5. Do what you can
Few people have the freedom to devote a huge chunk of time to help. Set a modest goal. Every bit counts. Remember the biggest part of being a superhero: being human.
Are you familiar with Street View (http://maps.google.com/help/maps/streetview/), the Google Maps technology that lets you travel along city streets via your computer or smartphone screen.
Now, for those looking to get off the pavement, there’s Trail View (http://www.naturevalleytrailview.com/), a new program that lets you “walk” the trails of three national parks without taking a step.
Created by granola bar company Nature Valley, a longtime parks supporter, the virtual experience covers more than 300 miles of trails in the Grand Canyon, Great Smoky Mountains and Yellowstone national parks. Pick a trail, hit Autoplay and the surrounding scene shifts as you move down the trail. Users can also pan 360 degrees at any point by clicking and dragging the cursor.
Not surprisingly, creating the program required a bit more effort than synching up a pair of stereoscopic images. To get the footage, a team of 10 to 12 people spent two weeks in each park, hiking the trails and capturing the local scenery with a Dodeca 2360, a backpack-mounted camera that stitches together simultaneous feeds from 11 multi-directional lenses.
The result is an impressive compendium of vistas, trail details and other park information. The program can be a little glitchy — load times can be slow and image resolution during Autoplay was fuzzy — but such missteps fade when you’re “standing” in front of Rainbow Falls in the Smokies or atop Yellowstone’s Avalanche Peak.
Of course, you’re not really anywhere close to the sites themselves, but the people behind Trail Views see it as a way to introduce people to the parks, especially digitally savvy younger people who often use technology as a way to preview real-world experiences.

Today, President Obama spoke at Fort Bragg, NC, to welcome home soldiers returning from Iraq. In his speech he said, “You stood up for America; now America must stand up for you. Our commitment to you doesn’t end when you take off the uniform.”
I hope this promise is met with genuine and sincere interest and commitment by employers.
But to ensure employers KNOW WHO YOU ARE, here are my simple suggestions on what you need to put at the top of your resume, just below your name and contact information.
If you were wounded in combat, clearly state that you are a WOUNDED WARRIOR.
If you served in Iraq or Afghanistan, clearly state that you are an IRAQ or AFGHANISTAN VETERAN, or both if applicable. Don’t be bashful if your service goes back to Vietnam or even Korea.
I would prominently display this information above your clearance (if you have one).
Remember, most people reading a resume take less than 30 seconds to scan and reach an initial determination. So BROADCAST your military service!!!
