Photofinishing entires!!!

You are perfectly right! :clap2:

I am not sure whether it was 24/7 ! It must have

been something very close to that I am sure.

So isn't it interesting to note that it takes a bachelor

to solve a puzzle about a married man!:rolleyes:
Click to expand...

I had my answer before you offered a clue. But the thing is, I was hesitant a bit for some obvious reasons.

What I think is married men are living in reality of married life and bachelors are just imagining and dreaming of a wonderful married life with a cooperative wife who wants her honest and loving hubby to meet her tough demands..

Probably thats the reason for a bachelor to have the right answer readily.


:cool:

Here comes the next puzzle for today!

# 6.

The father warned the son not to go near certain areas in the city. :nono:

The son wanted to know why? :confused:

The father said, "You will see things you ought not see"

The boy went there just out of curiosity and

did see something he ought not have seen! :shocked:

What was it??? :rolleyes:
Click to expand...

Probably in certain areas of the city, the boy saw people demanding crazy things from each other???
 
dear friends,

These riddles and puzzles are from real life experiences and involve HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY
more than knowledge of facts.

When I give the answer you will be surprised as to how you managed to miss it!

The best place to hide an important document was to use it as a lamp shade-during one of the world wars.

Every nook and corner was explored. The enemy looked for false roofs, hollows in the floor, concealed compartments in the table draws and missed completely the paper just fixed over the lamp shade.

Most of the puzzles will be as easy as that.
In fact they may be so easy that you miss the obvious answers!

Place yourself in the place of the person and wonder what you will do in that situation

OR why you will do such a thing

You will find your answer.

# 5. Eros.

Eros the Greek god of love. His name means Intimate love. His Roman counterpart is Cupid meaning desire.

There appear to have been two different conceptions of Eros in ancient Greek sources. In the earliest sources, he is one of the Primordial Gods. He is depicted as a young adult male who is involved in the coming into being and ordering of all things in the cosmos.

But in later sources, Eros represented as a child, the son of Aphrodite whose playful antics cause unlikely love affairs.

In spite of his primordial position in these early sources, Eros did not acquire a strongly defined character in mythology or art until late antiquity. A cult of Eros did exist, but it was much less important than the cult of Aphrodite.

In early Greek poetry and art, Eros was depicted as an adult male who embodies sexual power. But in later sources, Eros is depicted in the more familiar form of a child, the child of Aphrodite whose arrows engender passionate love.

In late antiquity, Eros was worshiped in Thespiae by a fertility cult . He shared a very popular cult with Aphrodite, and the fourth day of every month was sacred to him.

He was supposed to be the fourth God to come into being after the after Chaos, Gaia (the Earth), and Tartarus (the Underworld).

Answer:

He saw his father in the forbidden area! :shocked:

Obviously is was one of his father's favorite haunts! :roll: :rolleyes:
 
# 7.

Both the sets of parents were stinking rich.

Both were status conscious to the core.

The boy's father told the girl's father,

"We will share the wedding expenses equally!"

The gala celebration was over.

The girl's father was in charge of the arrangements and the initial payments.

After setting the accounts, the girl's father was thrilled to find that, he did not have to pay even a single rupee towards the wedding expenses!

HOW???
 
The bride's father knew that the groom's father was too proud to verify the costs of things and other arrangements.

So he kept the account very much like the famous Kalmadi. He wrote every expenditure twice what it really was.

So while diving, the amount paid by the groom's father covered the entire expenditure!

It really happened!!!
 
# 8.

There was a heated argument between the drunkard husband and his usually patient wife.

Later the husband was found dead - struck by a heavy blunt instrument.

The police could not any instrument that would fit in the description.

The wife offered them steaming hot food - as they were tired
after their vain search for the strange instrument.

After they thanked her profusely and left, the wife heaved a sigh and said,"Good riddance of the evidence!"

WHY???

P.S. You can't walk off the puzzle or just keep mum! :nono:

So today you will go to bed trying to figure this out! :rolleyes:

How to give 5 "likes"?... Pl let me know. I would like to give that.
 
The wife struck the drunken husband with a big piece of frozen meat - just to silence his taunts - with no intention of killing him.

She thawed it, cooked it and made the policemen eat it. So it is nice case of good riddance of the evidence!

Isn't it???

# 6. FAUNUS.

180px-Faunus_Vienna_Ma528.jpg


Faunus was the Roman horned god of the forest, plains and fields. When he made the cattle fertile he was called Inuus. He came to be equated in literature with Pan - the Greek god.

Faunus was one of the oldest Roman deities. According to the epic poet Virgil, he was a legendary king of the Latins who came with his people from Arcadia.

Faunus revealed the future in dreams and voices that were communicated to the people who slept in his precincts, lying on the fleeces of sacrificed lambs.

Faunus was naturally equated with the god Pan, who was a pastoral god of shepherds who was said to reside in Arcadia. Pan had always been depicted with horns and as such many depictions of Faunus also began to display this trait.

However, the two deities were also considered separate by many, for instance, the epic poet Virgil in his Aeneid made mention of both Faunus and Pan independently.

Goldsmiths and tailors can't help stealing some of the material given to them.

A rich man bought a very costly material for his waist coat.

He sat hawk-eyed when the tailor cut the cloth to his measurements.

He went away happily with his new waist coat feeling one up - since he had got the better of the cunning tailor.

The next day the tailor was proudly wearing a waist coat in the same material.

HOW???
 
Under the hawk eyes of the rich man, the tailor managed to fold the cloth double and cut it so that he could stitch two waist coats. He made one to the size of the rich man and the other to his own size! :happy:

# 10.

A man wanted to prove that during parties people hardly
hear, listen to or understand what is being told. :ear:

To prove his point he hugged each and every guest who arrived,
and whispered in their ears,

" I just murdered my mother in law today!" :gossip:

Was his opinion proved to be right or wrong??? :rolleyes:

I thought of this answer. I thought my reply would be too silly. Also I thought the hawk-eye sight of the rich man would have prevented the tailor from doubling the cloth while cutting.

Anyways, I should have replied and hoped to have escaped your "hawk-eyes", rather than belatedly saying "I thought so"

I should hope this opinion proved to be wrong
 
IT IS SAID WE LISTEN TO ONLY 25 % OF WHAT IS BEING TOLD TO US.

We understand only 25% of what we hear.

We register only 25% of what we register.

We remember only 25% of what we register.

A very Poor state of affairs. :tsk:

All but one of the guests replied in words such a
"Oh How nice!", " I am glad to hear it!", " It is so good of you!" etc. :clap2:

Only one person gave a surprised look and said
"You must be kidding!" :shocked:

Unless you know something about tailoring you may not mistake a cloth being folded.

After all our right and left sides should be identical.

This will happen only when the cloth is folded in double.

The tailor doubled it and cut the full waist coat on it!
