  • Read this sentence:
    FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.
    Now count aloud the F's in that sentence. Important, count them ONLY ONCE: do not go back and count them again. Once it's done, go see the answer. You will be surprised!
    There are six F's in the sentence. One of average intelligence finds three of them. If you spotted four, you're above average. If you got five, you can turn your nose at most anybody. If you caught six, you are a genius. There is no catch. Many people forget the "OF's". The human brain tends to see them as V's and not F's.
  • A man is sitting in a pub feeling rather poor. He sees the man next to him pull a wad of £50 notes out of his wallet. He turns to the rich man and says to him, "I have an amazing talent; I know almost every song that has ever existed." The rich man laughs. The poor man says, "I am willing to bet you all the money you have in your wallet that I can sing a genuine song with a lady's name of your choice in it." The rich man laughs again and says, "Okay, how about my daughter's name, Joanna Armstrong-Miller?" The rich man goes home poor. The poor man goes home rich. What song did he sing?  
    Answer: "Happy Birthday." This song can be sung with anyone's name in it.​​
  • Complete the series: 9 = 4, 21 = 9, 22 = 9, 24 = 10, 8 = 5, 7 = 5, 99 = 10, 100 = 7, 16 = ?, 17 =?
    Answer: 16 = 7 and 17 = 9 [The number of letters in the spelling of 16 (sixteen) is 7 and that of 17 (seventeen) is 9]

Problem of the Month

If 5+3=28
9+1=810
8+6=214
5+4=19,
Then what does 7+3=?
Answer: 410
Explanation: You must subtract the two numbers to get the number in the highest position. After that, you take the original equation and find the answer to get the numbers that follow. For example, 5 minus 3 would give us 2, and 5 plus 3 gives us 8. Thus, the answer is 28.

“Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”
          ~Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin was born on January 17, 1706 in Boston Massachusetts. Franklin was known as a scientist, inventor, and writer. More importantly, Benjamin Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers. Franklin was a man of many accomplishments, such as drafting the Declaration of Independence, creating the first political cartoon in the United States, inventing things like bifocals, and much more. Franklin was also well known for the American proverb, “Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” Sadly, the well-known and brilliant man later died on April 17, 1790 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Analysis: The quote can be interpreted in many different ways, but from what I gather, Franklin was discussing the need for success. Success is not necessarily something that comes in the form of money, but instead fulfillment and contentment. To reach such success, you must make intelligent and well thought-out decisions. As Franklin says in the second half of the quote, when you make painstaking and difficult decisions with much consideration, you are known as successful because you are content with your actions.
