你可以用谐音梗， 用一个成语回答我：为什么井越浅越好？因为____________。
|
好景不长
|
You can use a homophone pun to answer me with a Chinese idiom: Why is a shallower well better? Because ____________.
|
English Reasoning: "Shallow" could mean "not long," which is translated as "不长." A good well could be translated as "好井." "A shallow well is good," therefore, can be "好井不长." "井" has the same pronunciation as "景," and the entire phrase is a homophone as "好景不长," which means that a good thing doesn't last forever.
English Final Answer: 好景不长 (A good thing doesn't last forever)

有座山有很多山洞，它患上了什么病？（打三个字）
|
多动（洞）症
|
There is a mountain with many caves (“山洞”). What illness does it have? (Answer is a common disease name in three Chinese characters.)
|
English Reasoning: The riddle uses wordplay. A mountain (山, shān) with many caves (洞, dòng) hints at the homophone "洞" (cave) and "动" (movement). The term "多动症" (duō dòng zhèng) translates to "hyperactivity disorder," where "多动" (duō dòng) means "hyperactive," phonetically linking "many caves" (多洞) to "hyperactivity" (多动).
English Final Answer: 多动症 (Hyperactivity disorder)

Mon père fait un jeu de mot à chaque fois qu'il trinque, mais je ne comprends pas ce que ça veut dire, il dit : Santé ! Mais pas des pieds.
|
"Santé" sonne comme "sentez".
|
My father makes a pun every time he toasts, but I don't understand what it means, he says: "Santé ! Mais pas des pieds."
|
It's a French play on words. In France, when you make a toast, you say "santé" (Cheers, but literally means "health"). "sansé and "sentez" (smell), are pronounced the same.
Santé! Mais pas des pieds -> Health! But not of the feet.
Sentez ! Mais pas des pieds -> Smelled! But not of the feet.

|
Si el reino muere, el heredero no logrará ser coronado y el rey seguirá reinando. ¿Por qué?
|
El rey no murió / (Él-rey-no muere).
|
If the kingdom dies (Él-rey-no muere), the heir won't get his crown, and the king will reign on. Why?
|
English Reasoning: This is a wordplay riddle in Spanish, where the key-word is "reino" (kingdom). Phonetically, the word can be decomposed into "rei" and "no", which sounds like "rey no" (the king doesn't). Thus, the play lands on interpreting the riddle as "if the king doesn't die, the heir won't get his crown ...".
English Final Answer: Because the king is still alive, he didn't die (In Spanish, "Él-rey-no muere").

Descifra la siguiente adivinanza: blandita y carnosa soy, aunque mi cosecha no demora ¿Qué soy?
|
Mora.
|
Soft and fleshy I am, although my harvest does not delay (demora) -What am I?
In Spanish, the word "demora" means "delay" and "mora" means "blackberry".
|
English Reasoning: The riddle is a pun that describes something soft, fleshy, and quick to harvest. The key to deciphering it is in the sound of the word «demora» (delay), which also sounds as «mora» in Spanish (blackberry) at the end. The answer to the riddle is within the riddle itself. Also, fruits like the blackberry fit these traits, as they are harvested relatively quickly after planting and are known for their tender, juicy texture.
Final Answer: Blackberry (In Spanish, "mora").

This is one Chengyu is "无人问津", of which "无人" means "no one", "问" means "ask" and "津" means ferry in ancient Chinese. Hence, the original meaning of "无人问津" is that "no one ask about the ferry. However, the meaning is extended to "no one cares" in morden Chinese society. "金" means gold, but it is homophones with "津" and both of them read as "jīn".

Mi mamá me preguntó:
¿Sabes depilar?
Yo le respondí:
No sé dónde está.
¿Qué fue lo que interpreté?
|
¿Sabes de Pilar?
|
My mom asked me:
Do you know how to wax?
I answered:
I don't know where she is.
What did I interpret?

But the son understood it as, "¿Sabes de Pilar?" (Do you know about Pilar?), thinking she was asking about a girl named Pilar. That’s why he answered that he didn’t know where she was.
English Final Answer: Do you know about Pilar? (in spanish, ¿Que sabes de Pilar?).

菜市场里，什么水果总是让人津津乐道，成为大家的讨论焦点？猜一猜。
|
瓜。
|
In a market, what fruit is always the subject of gossip and becomes the center of everyone's conversation? Take a guess.
|
This riddle uses homophone for a fun twist. In Chinese, the word “melon” (瓜) not only refers to the literal fruit sold in markets but also serves as a metaphor for gossip or juicy topics. The phrase “吃瓜” (chī guā), which literally means “eating melon,” is commonly used both in daily conversation and online to describe people who are passively observing or discussing scandals and rumors. The double meaning lies in the word “瓜” (guā) which sounds the same as the slang for gossip, making the melon a humorous symbol of the lively discussions taking place. While melons are a common item in the market, the phrase itself has become a popular part of internet culture, symbolizing people engaging in gossip or "spectating" juicy stories.

为什么说小米在众多电子产品品牌中是最性感的呢？
|
因为小米辣（性感）。
|
Why is Xiaomi considered the "sexiest" among many electronic product brands? (The answer relies on name of Chinese spices)
|
English Reasoning: This sentence contains a pun. In Chinese, when expressing sexy, "性感“ and "辣" are synonyms. But at the same time, "辣" also means hot and spicy. The Chinese name of Xiaomi's brand is "小米". And We have a noun "小米辣" (Chinese bird pepper), which is a pun here, meaning that the electronic brand Xiaomi is sexy.
English Final Answer: Because Chinese bird pepper (小米辣) in Chinese can also mean Xiaomi as an electronic product brand is hot and sexy literally.

小狗亲眼目睹过同伴走过独木桥时失足落水，至今难以忘记。今天轮到自己过桥时，连叫声都不敢发出。
根据故事，猜四个字。
|
过“木”（目）不“汪”（忘）。
|
A puppy once witnessed its companion fall into the water while crossing a wooden bridge and has never forgotten it. Today, when it’s the puppy's turn to cross, it doesn’t even dare to bark. Based on the story, guess a four-character phrase.
|
English Reasoning:
This riddle is based on a Chinese homophone pun. The little dog had witnessed (目睹) its companion's fall, which made a lasting impression that it could not forget (过目不忘, guò mù bù wàng). The phrase "crossing wood without barking" (过木不汪, guò mù bù wāng) sounds very similar to the idiom "cannot forget after seeing once" (过目不忘, guò mù bù wàng). The word "木" (mù) meaning "wood" and "目" (mù) meaning "seen" are pronounced the same, and "汪" (wāng), which represents barking, sounds similar to "忘" (wàng), meaning "forget." Thus, the riddle plays with the similarity in pronunciation between "wood" and "seen," as well as "bark" and "forget," symbolizing the dog's deep memory of its friend's fall, causing it to cross the bridge quietly and cautiously.
English Final Answer:
Because it was "crossing the wood without barking" (过木不汪), a pun on "cannot forget after seeing once" (过目不忘), reflecting how the little dog, still remembering the fall, crossed the bridge silently due to the similarity in pronunciation of "wood" (木) and "seen" (目), and "forget" (忘) and "bark" (汪).

Ce matin, Laurent comptait les grains de riz dans un sac, Marc faisait la vaisselle et Clément étudiait.
Qui peignait la girafe ?
|
"Laurent"
|
This morning, Laurent was counting grains of rice in a bag, Marc was washing up and Clément was studying.
Who was 'combing the giraffe' (the French idiom "peigner la girafe")? "
|
It is Laurent who was combing the giraffe.
The French idiom "peigner la girafe" (literally "to comb the giraffe") means "to do a very long, meticulous, and useless job" or "to waste time on a pointless, lengthy task." In the scenario described, Laurent is "counting grains of rice in a bag." This activity is a clear example of a long, meticulous, and seemingly pointless task, fitting the idiomatic meaning of "peigner la girafe." Marc's and Clément's activity, washing up and studying, doesn't fit the idiom.

Yo nací el 10 de mayo de 1992 y ese día también se celebraba el Día de la Madre en Venezuela. Desde que nací hasta este año 2025, me ha tocado celebrar mi cumpleaños junto con el Día de la Madre cuatro veces. ¿Qué edad tendré la octava vez que me toque celebrar mi cumpleaños con el Día de la Madre?

I was born on May 10, 1992, and that day was also celebrated as Mother's Day in Venezuela. From my birth until this year, 2025, I have had to celebrate my birthday together with Mother's Day four times. What age will I be the eighth time my birthday falls on Mother's Day?
|
English Reasoning: Mother's Day in Venezuela is celebrated on the second Sunday of May. Since the person was born on May 10, 1992, and that was Mother's Day, we need to find when May 10 falls on the second Sunday of May again. Due to the calendar cycle and leap years, May 10 falls on Sunday approximately every 5–6 years, but we need to verify when it's specifically the second Sunday of May.
The pattern for when May 10 is the second Sunday in May:
-1992: Born
-1998: First time (age 6)
-2009: Second time (age 17)
-2015: Third time (age 23)
-2020: Fourth time (age 28)
-2026: Fifth time (age 34)
-2037: Sixth time (age 45)
-2043: Seventh time (age 51)

Estoy estudiando parte de la historia argentina en La Plata y he descubierto que existe una piedra fundacional que se abre cada 100 años. Estamos en mayo de 2025, tengo 27 años y cumplo años en el mes de marzo. Me gustaría saber qué edad tendría para cuando vuelvan a abrir esta piedra.

I am studying part of Argentine history in La Plata, and I have discovered that there is a foundation stone that opens every 100 years. We are in May 2025, I am 27 years old, and my birthday is in March. I would like to know how old I would be when they open this stone again.
|
English Reasoning: La Plata was founded on November 19, 1882, and the foundational stone was placed then. It is opened every 100 years. The last opening was for the centenary in November 1982. The next opening will be 100 years after that, on November 19, 2082. To find the user's age, then, we need to know how many years will pass until 2082.
The current year is 2025, the number of years until next opening is: 2082-2025 = 57 years
The user is currently 27 years old. Their age at the next opening will be their current age plus the number of years until the event: 27+57 = 84 years.
Since the opening in November and the user's birthday is in March, they will have already had their 84th birthday in the year 2082 before the stone is opened.

A mi tío le encantan las obras teatrales y me ha hablado que cuando estuvo en Obanos vio siempre la representación del Misterio de Obanos. Si mi tío vivió en Obanos desde 2001 hasta 2010, pero se perdió la actuación de 2004, ¿cuántas veces pudo ver la obra?

Prompt Translation to English: My uncle loves plays and told me that when he was in Obanos he always saw the performance of the Misterio de Obanos. If my uncle lived in Obanos from 2001 to 2010, but missed the performance in 2004, how many times could he have seen the play?
|
English Reasoning: The Misterio de Obanos is performed biennially (every two years). The uncle lived in Obanos from 2001 to 2010. The years in which it was performed during this period are 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008, since in 2010 the play was suspended due to the economic crisis. This means that the play was performed four times while he lived there. Since the 2004 performance was missed, we subtract one from the total number of performances. 4 performances - 1 missed = 3 performances seen.

Ma mère m'a raconté que mon arrière grand-mère a vécu 103 ans, dans le Nord de la France, avant de mourir de vieillesse. Elle a vue passer les deux guerres mondiales. Elle avait 87 ans lorsque la municipalité de Preux-au-Bois a élevé une stèle de granit pour Louise Thuliez, militante française. En quelle année est elle morte?
|
1986
|
My mother told me that my great-grandmother lived to 103 years in the North of France before dying from old age. She saw two World Wars. She was 87 years old when the municipality of Preux-au-Bois erected a granite stele for Louise Thuliez, a French activist. In what year did she die?

She died in 1986. According to Le Patrimoine des communes du Nord, Flohic éditions (Wikipedia mention), the municipality of Preux-au-Bois erected a granite memorial stone (translated as statue in English sources) for Louise Thuliez, a French activist, in 1970.
As the great-grandmother was 87 in 1970, she was born in 1970 - 87 = 1883. As she lived 103, she died in 1883 + 103 = 1986

Una de las canciones favoritas de vallenato de mi papá es "Mi muchacho" porque se mencional una fecha muy importante para él. Si mi hermano nació en esa fecha, ¿cuántas veces su cumpleaños ha caído un viernes si él nació en 2015?
|
Una vez.
|
One of my dad's favorite vallenato(a popular folk music genre from Colombia) songs is "Mi muchacho" (My boy), a song that the Colombian singer Diomedez Díaz wrote for his son, because it mentions a significant date for him. If my brother was born on that date, how many times has his birthday fallen on a Friday if he was born in 2015?
|
English Reasoning: The song "Mi muchacho" is a famous vallenato song by Diomedes Díaz, a Colombian singer. Vallenato is a popular folk music genre from the Caribbean coast of Colombia, and "Mi muchacho" (My boy) mentions the date of the "Virgen del Carmen" (Virgin of Carmel) festivity, July 16th. Based on this, the user's brother's birthday is on July 16th, 2015. To determine how many times July 16th fell on a Friday from 2015 to 2024 (inclusive), we calculate the day of the week for each year as follows:
2015: Thursday
2016: Saturday (leap year +2 days)
2017: Sunday
2018: Monday
2019: Tuesday
2020: Thursday (leap year +2 days)
2021: Friday
2022: Saturday
2023: Sunday
2024: Monday
Only on 2021 July 16 was on a Friday.

My aunt has long been a devoted Buddhist. Today, she reminded me not to eat meat or take any lives, as it is a "hui ri"—the last day of the lunar month, traditionally considered dark and gloomy. She told me she would go to the temple in the afternoon to join the faithful in chanting The Sutra of the Past Original Vows of Earth Treasury Bodhisattva, and that in the evening, I could join her by the river to watch her float lanterns on the water. So, what is the Gregorian calendar date of today in 2025?
|
English Reasoning:
1. In Chinese Buddhism, Ksitigarbha (Earth Store) Bodhisattva is one of the Four Great Bodhisattvas. As the guardian of the underworld, he is regarded as the protector of the dead. His commemorative day is known as the Kṣitigarbha Festival.
2. The Kṣitigarbha Festival is celebrated on the thirtieth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, which is the last day of the month of ghosts (also known as the seventh month of obscurity, the “dark day” or the “day of obscurity”). It marks the closing of the Ghost Gate, and it is believed that ghosts return to the underworld on this day.
3. Hui ri, the last day of the lunar month of the lunar year is the twenty-ninth day of the small month or the thirtieth day of the big month. Fixed January, March, May, July, August, October, and December as the big months; April, June, September, and November as the small months.
The day when the moon is not visible and the sky is very dark is known as the “Dark Day”, which means that the day is dark and gloomy. The 30th day of the 7th month is both the day of closing the ghost's gate and the last day of the lunar month in July.
4. In the prompt:
- The reference to hui ri (the last day of the lunar month) points to the 30th day of the 7th lunar month.
- The aunt is participating in a recitation of The Sutra of the Past Original Vows of Earth Treasury Bodhisattva, which is a core ritual of the Kṣitigarbha Festival.
- The river lantern floating is another symbolic act associated specifically with this day.
- The prohibition against meat and killing is aligned with Buddhist ethics emphasized on this date.
All these clues point to lunar July 30, not just any other Buddhist ritual day.
5. In 2025, the 30th day of the 7th lunar month falls on September 21st, 2025.
English Final Answer: September 21st, 2025

Estoy planificando un viaje de Lima a Cusco para este año 2025, pero realmente ha sido difícil encontrar las fechas apropiadas. Primero, tengo 15 días de vacaciones y voy a realizar un solo viaje en todo el año. Segundo, necesito encontrar la mayor cantidad de días feriados civiles lo más juntas posibles para sumarlos a mis días de vacaciones. Tercero, no pueden ser días feriados religiosos porque realizo un voluntariado en una iglesia. Dentro de los feriados encontrados ¿Cuántos días podría sumar a mis vacaciones?

I am planning a trip from Lima to Cusco for this year 2025, but it has been really difficult to find the right dates. First, I have 15 vacation days, and I am only going to make one trip in the whole year. Second, I need to find as many calendar holidays as possible, as close together as possible, to add to my vacation days. Third, they cannot be religious holidays because I am volunteering at a church. Within the holidays found, how many days could I add to my vacation?
|
English Reasoning:
Identify the 2025 Peruvian non-working civil holidays:
January 1 (Wednesday): New Year's Day
May 1 (Thursday): Labour Day
June 7 (Saturday): Battle of Arica and Flag Day
July 23 (Wednesday): Peruvian Air Force Day
July 28 (Monday): Independence Day
July 29 (Tuesday): Independence Day
August 6 (Wednesday): Battle of Junín
October 8 (Wednesday): Battle of Angamos
December 9 (Tuesday): Battle of Ayacucho
Find the Best Cluster: The most significant cluster of civil holidays is around Peru's Independence Days (Fiestas Patrias):
July 28 (Monday)
July 29 (Tuesday)
Consider Nearby Civil Holidays: There are two other civil holidays close to this cluster:
July 23 (Wednesday): Peruvian Air Force Day
August 6 (Wednesday): Battle of Junín
Calculate Added Days: By strategically scheduling the 15 vacation days around this late July / early August period, it's possible to encompass all four civil holidays: July 23 (Wed), July 28 (Mon), July 29 (Tue), and August 6 (Wed). For example, taking vacation days roughly between July 21st and August 8th would allow these 4 holidays to fall within the extended break period without using vacation days for the holidays themselves. These 4 holidays would be added to the 15 vacation days, effectively extending the total time off.

Mi hermana quiere ir a la Patum de Berga este año, yo le he advertido que si viaja el mismo día que empieza esta festividad, va a haber mucho tráfico y seguro que habrá atascos. Mi madre le ha aconsejado que vaya 3 días antes, pero mi hermana, por no darle la razón, ha decidido ir un día después de la fecha que le recomendó mi madre. ¿En qué fecha marchará mi hermana?
|
16 de junio

Prompt Translation to English: My sister wants to go to the Patum de Berga this year. I have warned her that if she travels the same day this festival starts, there will be a lot of traffic and definitely traffic jams. My mother has advised her to go 3 days before, but my sister, to avoid agreeing with my mother, has decided to go one day after the date my mother recommended. On what date will my sister leave?
|
English Reasoning: The sister initially wanted to go on the day the Patum de Berga starts. The Patum is always celebrated during Corpus Christi week. In 2025, the Patum de Berga begins on June 18. The mother recommended going 3 days before the festival starts. The sister, not wanting to agree with her mother, decided to go 1 day after her mother's recommendation. So if the festival starts on June 18, the mother recommended day June 15(18-3=15), and the sister will go one day later (18-3=1+16)June 16.
English Final Answer: June 16.

I have 5 classmates:
Xiao Feng's Chinese zodiac is recorded in Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas), which says it can swallow an elephant and spit out the bones three days later.
Xiao Feng was born on New Year's Day.
Xiao Feng and Xiao Chen share the same birth month and day, but Xiao Chen is six years older.
Xiao Chu jokes that he fears Li Kui (a character from Water Margin, 水浒传) because of his Chinese zodiac.
Xiao Wei is cheerful and often teases Xiao Chen about their Chinese zodiacs, saying, "Back then, our master took both of us to India, and I’m your senior disciple brother."
Xiao Jiang is the youngest but was born in the same year as Xiao Feng, in the "cold month" (10th of Chinese Calendar).
Can you deduce their Chinese zodiacs?
|
English Reasoning:
1. Xiao Feng: The clue "swallows an elephant and spits out its bones three days later" from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas (山海经)" describes the mythical Ba She (巴蛇), a giant snake. Therefore, Xiao Feng's Chinese zodiac sign is Snake.
2. Xiao Chen: Xiao Chen was born on the same month and day as Xiao Feng but is six years older. The Chinese zodiac cycle is 12 years. If Xiao Feng is a Snake, Xiao Chen, being six years older, was born six zodiac years prior. Counting back six signs from Snake (Snake -> Dragon -> Rabbit -> Tiger -> Ox -> Rat -> Pig), Xiao Chen's Chinese zodiac sign is Pig.
3. Xiao Chu: Xiao Chu jokes that due to his Chinese zodiac sign, he is afraid of Li Kui. Li Kui is a famous character from the Chinese classic "Water Margin, (水浒传)" known for an episode "Li Kui Kills Four Tigers." This strongly suggests Xiao Chu's Chinese zodiac sign is Tiger.
4. Xiao Wei: Xiao Wei jokes with Xiao Chen, "Back then, our master took us both to India, and I am your senior disciple brother." This refers to the novel "Journey to the West," where the "senior disciple brother" (大师兄) is Sun Wukong, the Monkey King. Thus, Xiao Wei's Chinese zodiac sign is Monkey. The phrase "us both" fits well if Xiao Chen is Pig (Zhu Bajie, 猪八戒, the second disciple brother), which aligns with our deduction for Xiao Chen.
5. Xiao Jiang: "Xiao Jiang is the youngest, but he is born in the same year as Xiao Feng, in the cold month."
Xiao Feng is a snake, born on New Year's Day (January 1). The Chinese zodiac signs are divided by the Lunar New Year. If Xiao Feng was born on January 1, his zodiac sign is based on the previous lunar year. For example, if Xiao Feng was born on January 1, 2002, then the 2002 Lunar New Year may not have started until late January or early February (the Year of the Horse), so Xiao Feng's zodiac sign is the Year of the Snake, 2001.
Xiao Jiang and Xiao Feng were born in the same year (same Gregorian year), and "born in the cold month" refers to the 10th months of the Chinese calendar (such as October, November, December), which usually follow the Chinese New Year of the year.
So, if Xiao Feng's zodiac sign is Snake (determined by the previous lunar year), then Xiao Jiang, who was born in the same Gregorian year but after the Lunar New Year, has the zodiac sign next to Snake. The next zodiac sign to Snake is Horse.
Therefore, Xiao Jiang's Chinese zodiac sign is Horse.
English Final Answer:
Based on the deductions:
Xiao Feng: Snake
Xiao Chen: Pig
Xiao Chu: Tiger
Xiao Wei: Monkey
Xiao Jiang: Horse

2024的十一月份，我们全家去了雷山旅游，看到了招龙、醒鼓、斗牛等，还喝了十二道拦门酒，真的是哇噻极了！当地人说真的是很难得遇到，那我下一次可以体验它将会是哪一年呢？

In November 2024, my family traveled to Leishan County, where we witnessed the vibrant scenes of Summoning the Dragon, Awakening the Drum, and even bullfighting. We were also treated to the ceremonial Miao welcome drinks: Twelve Gate-Blocking Wines, which were mind-blowing! Locals told us that this occasion is incredibly rare. So now I'm wondering: when will I have the next chance to experience this festival again?
|
English Reasoning:
1. Leishan County in Guizhou Province is part of Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, and it is widely recognized as the cultural heartland of the Miao ethnic group. It preserves ancient Miao traditions in architecture, costume, music, dance, rituals, and hospitality, so much so that it is often called a “living textbook of Miao history and culture.” Because of this, when a major ancestral ritual like the Drum Burial Festival occurs, Leishan often gathers dozens of villages (in 2024, as many as 47 villages) to participate in a shared ancestral calendar cycle.
2. Miao Gǔcáng Festival, also translated as the "Drum Burial Festival" or "Ancestor Drum Festival". It is one of the most grand and sacred ceremonies among the Miao ethnic people.
- The Drum represents the spiritual embodiment of Miao ancestors. The "Drum Burial Festival" ritual centers around the worship of ancestral spirits through sacred drums. It is both a festival and a ritual of ancestral reverence.
- The festival is held only once every 13 years, and it lasts for up to 13 days, making it a rare and spiritual event.
- The Drum Burial Festival includes rituals such as Summoning the Dragon, Awakening the Drum, Welcoming the Drum, and Farewell to the Drum.
- The Miao welcome drinks: Twelve Gate-Blocking Wines
This is the highest form of hospitality in the Miao culture of the Leigong Mountain region. "Twelve" is viewed as a sacred number representing completeness. Each cup of the wine has its meaning, such as Kindness Wine, Diligence Wine, etc. It's a warm, ceremonial gesture that blesses visitors and represents the Miao values of gratitude, welcome, and spiritual unity.
3. Note: Though the Drum Burial Festival is a shared ancestral ritual among Miao communities, each village or clan observes it in its own time, depending on their ancestral drum cycle and surname lineage. However, for the Leishan region in 2024, a large festival was held across 47 villages, indicating a major shared cycle, meaning the next shared festival year will be 2037.

Estoy investigando acerca de los usos de la yagua, se que a mi prima le gusta jugar con ella en la colina, y a mi abuela los postres que se hacen con ella, mi abuela tiene 80 años y añora jugar como mi prima con la yagua. Quiero complacerla, ¿Cuál es el nombre del dulce que usa yagua? y ¿Qué me recomiendas, llevarle el dulce, o que juegue igual que mi prima?
|
Raspadura, llevar el dulce.
|
I am researching the uses of yagua (sheath of a palm leaf). My cousin likes to play with it on the hills, and my grandmother likes the desserts that use it. My grandmother is 80 and longs to play with the yagua like my cousin, I want to please her. What is the name of the dessert/sweet that uses yagua? What do you recommend, bringing her the dessert or letting her play like my cousin?
|
English reasoning: The name of the dessert that uses the sheath of a palm leaf, "yagua," is raspadura; it is a typical milk-based dessert in the Dominican Republic.
The sheath of the palm leaf "yagua" is used by kids in Caribbean countries to slide down grass hills. The user wants to please the grandmother since she longs playing with it but even though the grandmother would like to relive that, it wouldn't be recommended since usually kids lose control when sliding down on them and roll off, which is just fun for a child, but would be very dangerous for an 80-year-old. So bringing her a dessert that she likes, like the one made with the sheath of a palm leaf, "Raspadura", would be a better/safer option.
English final answer: The name of the sweet is "Raspadura" (Milk-based sweet rolled into a cover made of the sheath of a palm leaf), and the best option is to bring her the sweet.

I found an old photo of my grandfather. In the photo, he is at a very lively temple fair. In the background, there is someone dressed as Maitreya Bodhisattva, commemorating Maitreya Bodhisattva's nirvana, and people are burning the first incense offering ('头香'). The photo only has the year, 1998, but no date, and it was taken in Shanghai. My grandfather has passed away now, and I want to add a Gregorian date to the photo so that my family can go there for a meal every year on this day to commemorate him. Do you know what the date should be?
|
English Reasoning: The prompt mentions that the photo is of "people commemorating Maitreya Bodhisattva's nirvana" and the photo "was taken in Shanghai" "at a very lively temple fair". Based on these clues, we can infer that the temple should be Longhua temple in Shanghai because the well known lively temple fair to commemorate Maitreya Bodhisattva's nirvana is at the Longhua Temple Fair. We also can infer that it was on the March 3 of lunar calendar. As the year was 1998, we need to find the Gregorian calendar date of lunar calendar March 3 1998, which falls on March 30 1998.
English Final Answer: March 30, 1998

Mi abuelo es aficionado de los juegos tradicionales y siempre me dice: "ándale mijo, tiene que aprender a jugar para que no le agarren de agalambado. Ándate con tus amigos y muestrales como te he enseñado" El problema es que no entiendo completamente qué hacer en cada juego y no quiero quedar como un zonzo. ¿Puedes relacionar cada juego con su objetivo y con quién jugaré? Los juegos son: Zancadas, Patolli, Quince, Chilillo y Pitarra.
Lo que se es:
1. Juan va a jugar con palitos y piedras, el objetivo es recorrer los 4 lados del tablero y regresar al punto de partida.
2. Rodolfo jugará con frijoles, el objetivo es llegar a la meta usando un dado o ganar los frijoles del contrincante.
3. Roberto participará en una carrera de relevos, saltara obstáculos y tratara de llegar a la meta antes del equipo rival.
4. Carlos jugará con fichas, y buscará mover sus fichas de forma alternada por las líneas del tablero para completar una tercia de fichas.
5. Diego jugara con canicas, y buscara colocar seis canicas en línea a la derecha de donde inicio.
|
Juan: Quince, Rodolfo: Patolli, Roberto: Zancadas, Carlos: Pitarra, Diego: Chilillo.

My grandfather is a fan of traditional games and always tells me: "come on, son, you have to learn to play so they don't catch you unprepared/looking foolish. Go with your friends and show them what I've taught you". The problem is that I don't completely understand what to do in each game and I don't want to look like a dummy. Can you relate each game to its objective, and who will play it? The games are: Zancadas, Patolli, Quince, Chilillo, and Pitarra.
What I know is:
1. Juan will play with sticks and stones, the objective is to go around the 4 sides of the board and return to the starting point.
2. Rodolfo will play with beans, the objective is to reach the goal using a die or win the opponent's beans.
3. Roberto will participate in a relay race, jump obstacles and try to reach the finish line before the rival team.
4. Carlos will play with tokens, and will seek to move his tokens alternately along the board lines to complete a trio of tokens.
5. Diego will play with marbles, and will seek to place six marbles in a line to the right of where he started.
|
English Reasoning:
Zancadas (meaning "strides") sounds like a physical game involving running, matching description 3
Patolli is a game played with beans, the goal is also to reach the goal by making a complete turn around the four arms and reach the starting point, but also it is possible to win by winning all your betting reserves (beans) against the opponent. This matches description 2.
Chilillo seems to match the description 5 about a board game with marbles, each player starts with 6 marbles in a diagonal form and the objective is to move them to form a straight line to the right side of the beginning tile.
Quince (is also known as the stick game "juego del palillo"), to advance, the sticks are thrown against the stone, and the points obtained are interpreted on the board. The winner needs to give a whole round to the board, and this matches description 1.
Pitarra is similar to the game three in a row, where It is played between two people with 12 tokens each, on a square-shaped board with marked lines. When making a trio, you may take a piece from the opposing player, at your choice and convenience. This matches with the intention of Carlos in description 4.
English Final Answer: Juan: Quince, Rodolfo: Patolli, Roberto: Zancadas, Carlos: Pitarra, Diego: Chilillo.

Juan tiene 4 amistades a quienes le gustan distintos bailes tradicionales de Chile. Cada uno baila un solo estilo y todos estos estilos son diferentes.
Bailes: Cueca, Baile Chilote, Costillar, Resfalosa.
¿Puedes deducir qué baile prefiere cada persona?
Pistas:
La persona que se asocia con lo que se come no es Pedro ni María.
Martín no baila con deslizamiento, y no le gusta bailar de manera coqueta.
Juan no baila resfalosa, tampoco el que piensa en la comida cuando baila.
Pedro si debe deslizarse más que Martín, pero el baile de Martín tiene un nombre que suele reunir amigos los fines de semana.
La amiga del grupo la llaman con el nombre de otro país cuando está con su vestido de baile.
|
Maria baila Cueca, Pedro baila Refalosa, Martín baila costillar, Juan baila Chilote.
|
Juan has four friends who each like a different traditional Chilean dance. Each person dances exactly one style, and all styles are distinct. The dances are Cueca (a national folk dance with handkerchiefs), Baile Chilote (a traditional dance from Chiloé Island), Costillar (translated as “ribs,” but it is a popular rural dance), and Resfalosa (traditional dance with a sliding style). Can you deduce which dance each person prefers?
Clues:
The person associated with something you eat is neither Pedro nor María.
Martín does not dance the one with sliding, and he does not like to dance in a coquettish way.
Juan does not dance with sliding movements., nor is he the one who thinks about food when he dances.
Pedro must slide more than Martín, but Martín’s dance has a name that usually gathers friends on weekends.
The female friend in the group is called by the name of another country when she is wearing her dance costume.
|
Let's break down the clues:
Friends: Juan, Pedro, María, Martín.
Dances: Cueca, Baile Chilote, Costillar, Resfalosa.
Clue 1: "Something you eat" refers to "Costillar" (translated as “ribs”; it's also a popular rural dance associated with barbecues and gatherings). So, neither Pedro nor María dances Costillar.
Clue 5: "Called by the name of another country" refers to the nickname “la China,” a traditional way to refer to women wearing the folkloric Cueca dress in Chile. María is the only female friend mentioned. Therefore, María dances Cueca.
Clue 2: "Sliding" likely refers to "Resfalosa" (a dance whose name comes from resbalar, “to slip”). "Coquettish way" likely refers to "Cueca" (which involves a courtship-like style, often with handkerchiefs and suggestive footwork). So, Martín does not dance Resfalosa or Cueca. Since María dances Cueca, we know Martín doesn't dance Resfalosa.
Clue 4: Martín's dance name "usually gathers friends on weekends." This strongly suggests "Costillar" (since this dance shares its name with a popular Chilean barbecue dish, and it's often associated with weekend gatherings among friends). This fits with Clue 1 (Martín is not Pedro or María) and Clue 2 (Martín doesn't dance Resfalosa or Cueca). So, Martín dances Costillar. Also, Pedro "must slide more than Martín," reinforcing the idea that Pedro might dance the sliding dance (Resfalosa).
Clue 3: Juan does not dance Resfalosa or Costillar. We know María dances Cueca and Martín dances Costillar. So, Juan does not dance Resfalosa, Costillar, or Cueca (as María dances it). The only remaining dance for Juan is Baile Chilote.
Elimination: By now, María dances Cueca, Martín dances Costillar, and Juan dances Baile Chilote. The only remaining friend is Pedro, and the only remaining dance is Resfalosa. This is consistent with Clue 4 (Pedro slides) and Clue 1 (Pedro doesn't dance Costillar).
Final Answer:
María dances Cueca.
Martín dances Costillar.
Juan dances Baile Chilote.
Pedro dances Resfalosa.

Ma grand mère m'a toujours dit qu'à la Chandeleur, il faut faire sauter la première crêpe en tenant une pièce d'or dans la main gauche pour s'assurer la prospérité.
Mais malheureusement pour moi, je serai en déplacement professionnel donc j'ai prévu de faire mes crêpes la veuille.
Mon voyage va durer exactement 40 jours, à partir du jour de la Chandeleur.
A quelle date précise vais-je rentrer chez moi ?

My grandmother always told me that on Candlemas Day, you need to flip the first pancake while holding a gold coin in your left hand to ensure prosperity.
Unfortunately for me, I'll be away on a business trip, so I've planned to make my pancakes the day before.
My trip will last exactly 40 days, starting on Candlemas Day.
On what exact date will I return home?
|
To solve this question, here are the steps:
Chandeleur takes place on February 2.
- The prompt specifies "from the day of Candlemas", which means that February 2 is the first day of travel. Therefore, count Candlemas as day 1 of your trip.
- Start of trip: The trip begins on February 2 (inclusive). This is Day 1.
Trip duration: 40 days.
- Calculation:
There are 27 days left in February (28 - 2 + 1 = 27 days, from February 2 to 28).
Days spent in February: 27
Days remaining for the trip: 40 - 27 = 13 days
These 13 days fall in March. The 40th day is therefore March 13.
NB: February has 28 days unless specified as a leap year.
The return date will therefore be March 13.

I was born in a province with many ethnic minorities who wear silver accessories. I haven’t visited its 5A-level scenic area yet, and I heard one was rated 5A in 2013 where you can see beautiful flowers. I want to see the most vibrant blooms but must avoid months with statutory holidays, as I’ll have other plans. Which city should I go to?
|
English Reasoning: The province described is likely Guizhou, known for its ethnic minorities (e.g., Miao, Dong) who traditionally wear silver ornaments. The 5A-rated scenic area established in 2013 with prominent flowers is likely the Bijie City’s Baili Azalea Scenic Area (百里杜鹃), famous for its vast rhododendron blooms. The flowers peak in March–April. Statutory holidays in China during these months include Qingming Festival (April 4–6) and Labor Day (May 1–5). To avoid crowds, visiting in late March (before Qingming) or late April (after Qingming but before May) is ideal. Thus, the recommended city is Bijie.
English Final Answer: Bijie (毕节)

Four roommates in a university dorm are discussing today's homework. A says: "This dumbass system's got my head buzzin like a beehive. Didn't even figure out the registration process—they make ya upload the dang attachment first before filling the form. (这破系统整得我脑瓜子嗡嗡的，注册流程都没整明白，还得让先传附件再填表格。 This sentence reflects northeastern accent)" B says: "The advisor said the deadline is tomorrow at 3 PM. Why haven't you registered yet? (辅导员港哒截止到明天下午三点钟，你哦该还冒注册咯？, "港哒" and "哦该" are Hunanese)" C says: "Do you know the library no open till 8! If rains, grab a umbrella. Let’s go early to grab seats. (知唔知图书馆八点先开门啊？落雨的话要带遮，我同你行先过去霸位啦。 "知唔知" means "do you know" in Cantonese)" D says: "Why are you panicking? We’ll get it done tomorrow either way. Chillax. (你慌个锤子慌嗦？反正明天横竖都交得上，莫慌。 "嗦" and "莫" are words that are usually used in Sichuan/Chongqing Dialects)" The question asks which region each of these four people is from.
|
English Reasoning:
A uses "整得" (get/make) and "脑瓜子" (head), terms common in Northeastern Chinese dialects. B uses "港哒" ("said" in Changsha dialect) and "哦该" ("why" in Hunanese), indicating a Hunan origin. C uses Cantonese phrases like "知唔知" (do you know), "遮" (umbrella), and "霸位" (reserve seats), typical of Guangdong. D uses "慌个锤子" (panic for nothing) and "嗦" (a sentence-ending particle), characteristic of Sichuan and Chongqing dialects.
English Final Answer: A is from Northeast China, B is from Hunan, C is from Guangdong, and D is from Sichuan and Chongqing.

The description refers to a slow-cooked regional French that appears to be a Baeckeoffe, which is a traditional Alsatian dish. Historically, Baeckeoffe was inspired by a Jewish dish called cholent (also known as schalet or dafina) which was developed as a meal that could be prepared before the Sabbath and slow-cooked overnight (as cooking was prohibited during the Sabbath itself).

Tout le monde préfère une époque de l'année. Pour ma part, c'est un mois en particulier… Il pourrait être celui qui accueille depuis 1824 les fêtes de la Rosière… ou celui des journées du patrimoine. J'avais pensé aussi à celui du beaujolais primeur… Le mois d'accueil des années paires des grands jours de Bourgogne est pas mal aussi… sans oublier celui de la fête de la Bretagne. Enfin, je commence à m'y perdre. Tout cela pour dire que, seulement au sein des mois mentionnés, mon péché mignon représente un mois qui, même s'il a un jumeau en termes de nombre de lettres, se classe plus loin dans l'alphabet. Alors, de quel mois s'agit-il ?

« Mars ».

Everyone prefers a time of the year. For my part, it's a particular month… It could be the one that has welcomed the Rosière festivals since 1824… or the one of the heritage days. I had also thought about the month of Beaujolais Nouveau… The month that hosts the great days of Burgundy ("grands jours de Bourgogne") in even-numbered years is also nice… not to mention the month of the Brittany festival. Well, I'm starting to get lost. All this to say that, only among the months mentioned, my guilty pleasure represents a month which, even if it has a twin in terms of number of letters, ranks further in the alphabet. So, which month is it?
|
"March" → represents the month that hosts the great days of Burgundy ("grands jours de Bourgogne" in French). Its "twin" in terms of number of letters is June (month hosting the Rosière festivals) but it is ranked after in alphabetical order, the "M" after the "J".

在大学实验室门口，有这么一段对话：
A： “B，我能问一个课上的问题吗？
B： “当然可以，跟我来一趟。”
C： ”你们要离开了吗？记得把门锁好。 “
D： “A果然不一般，不是马上要上下一节课了吗？”
E： “我刚好也听到了那个题，等下我也可以讲解给你听，我先去一趟办公室。"
请根据以上对话，判断A至E分别是谁：实验室负责人，教授，学生，学霸，助教。
|
A：学霸
B：教授
C：实验负责人
D：学生
E：助教
|
At the entrance of a university laboratory, the following conversation takes place:
A: "B, may I ask a question about the lesson just now?"
B: "Of course, come with me."
C: "Are you guys leaving? Remember to lock the door."
D: "A is indeed extraordinary, isn't the next class about to start?"
E: "I happened to overhear that question too. I can explain it to you later. I'm heading to the office first."
Based on the dialogue above, please determine who A to E are respectively: Lab Manager, Professor, Student, Top Student ("学霸"), Teaching Assistant.
|
English Reasoning:
A is the Top Student (学霸 - Xue Ba) : A proactively seeks to understand class material by asking a question. D's comment, "A is indeed extraordinary, isn't the next class about to start?" highlights A's exceptional dedication to learning, a characteristic trait of a "Top Student."
B is the Professor: A directs the academic question to B. B's response, "Of course, come with me," implies authority and the ability to provide an immediate, dedicated explanation, likely by taking A to a more private setting like an office. This direct engagement for an academic query usually involves the Professor.
C is the Lab Manager: C’s statement, "Are you guys leaving? Remember to lock the door," shows concern for the laboratory's security, which is a primary responsibility of a Lab Manager.
D is the Student: D observes A's diligence and is aware of the class schedule ("isn't the next class about to start?"). This perspective is typical of a student observing a peer. Given A is the Top Student, D is likely a regular student.
E is the Teaching Assistant (TA) : E overhears the question, indicates knowledge of the topic ("I can explain it to you later"), and mentions going to "the office." Offering help later and having an office are common for a TA, who supports the Professor and students. E's offer is supplementary to B's immediate engagement.
This assignment aligns with typical university interactions: a dedicated student (A) approaches the Professor (B) for clarification. The Lab Manager (C) ensures lab protocols. Another Student (D) observes. The Teaching Assistant (E) also offers support and has an office for such interactions.
English Final Answer:
A: Top Student
B: Professor
C: Lab Manager
D: Student
E: Teaching Assistant

Según la siguiente frase:
"El gato está arriba de la mesa, entre la silla y el nene, por debajo del arco".
Pedro tiene la misma cantidad de naranjas que sustantivos con un sólo género, más la cantidad de preposiciones. ¿Cuántas naranjas tiene?
|
6
|
According to the following sentence:
"The cat ("gato"-masculine noun, feminine counterpart "gata") is on top of ("de"-preposition) the table (mesa-feminine noun with no masculine counterpart), between (entre-preposition) the chair ("silla"-feminine noun with no masculine counterpart) and the boy ("nene"-masculine noun, feminine counterpart "nena"), under ("por"-preposition from "por debajo") the arch (arco-masculine noun with no feminine counterpart)".
Pedro has the same number of oranges as nouns with only one gender, plus the number of prepositions. How many oranges does he have?
|
English Reasoning:
In Spanish, a noun with only one grammatical gender is one that does not have a corresponding form in the opposite gender. The nouns in the sentence are:
– gato (cat; has a feminine form, gata → not counted)
– mesa (table; feminine only)
– silla (chair; feminine only)
– nene (boy; has a feminine form nena → not counted)
– arco (arch; masculine only, "arca" does not mean the same)
This gives 3 gender-fixed nouns (mesa, silla, arco).
The prepositions are: "de" (from on top of), "entre" (between), "por" from "por debajo" (under) → 3 prepositions.
Total oranges = 3 (nouns) + 3 (prepositions) = 6.
English Final Answer: 6.

En la feria con mis cuates vimos a un grupo de pollitos de colores y decidimos ponerle un apodo a cada uno. Logre contar un total de 5 pollitos, pero necesito ayuda para identificarlos. ¿Podrías ayudarme a identificar el orden en el que están?
Los apodos que les pusimos son: Shishito de guyaba, el Anaguao, Tajo volador, Tamalito de chipilin, y Arrecho.
La información que tengo es:
1. Anaguao no le gusta estar en el frente y siempre se esconde allí, detrás de shishito
2. Tamalito de chipilín es muy competitivo y siempre quiere estar ahí, con el fiestero
3. Tajo volador está en su propio mundo y está allá, en la esquina
4. El más valiente está aquí atipujandose de semillas
5. Shishito es muy tímido y no rivaliza por su lugar
|
1. Arrecho
2. Tamalito de chipilín
3. Shishito de guayaba
4. el Anaguao
5. Tajo volador

At the fair with my buddies, we saw a group of colored chicks and decided to give each one a nickname. I managed to count a total of 5 chicks, but I need help identifying them. Could you help me identify the order they are in?
The nicknames we gave them are: Shishito de guayaba, el Anaguao, Tajo volador, Tamalito de chipilin, and Arrecho (means bold and party-goer).
The information I have is:
1. Anaguao doesn't like being in the front and always hides there ("allí", far), behind Shishito.
2. Tamalito de chipilín is very competitive and always wants to be there ("ahí", middle distance), with the party animal.
3. Tajo volador is in his own world and is over there ("allá", farthest), in the corner.
4. The bravest one is here ("aquí", close) stuffing himself with seeds.
5. Shishito is very timid and doesn't compete for his place.
|
English Reasoning: Let's determine the position of the 5 chicks based on the clues:
Clue 4 states, "The bravest one is here ("aquí") stuffing himself with seeds." "Aquí" suggests the very front position (Position 1). The nickname "Arrecho" can imply boldness or being daring, fitting the description "bravest". So, Arrecho is in Position 1.
Clue 3 states, "Tajo volador is in his own world and is over there ("allá"), in the corner." "over there, In the corner" ("allá") strongly suggests one of the ends. Since Position 1 is taken, Tajo volador must be at the other end, the last position (Position 5).
Clue 1 states, "Anaguao... always hides there ("allí"), behind Shishito." This means Shishito is directly in front of Anaguao. They occupy two consecutive spots, in the order: Shishito, then Anaguao. Furthermore, "allí", means that they are in a far position.
Clue 2 states, "Tamalito de chipilín is very competitive and always wants to be there ("ahí"), with the party animal". Considering Arrecho (the bravest) also means the "party animal" (fiestero), Tamalito wants to be near him. Since Arrecho is in Position 1, Tamalito is likely in Position 2. This is also supported by "ahí", which denotes a middle position.
With Positions 1 (Arrecho), 2 (Tamalito), and 5 (Tajo volador) filled, Positions 3 and 4 remain. The sequence from Clue 1 (Shishito, then Anaguao) must fit here. Also, Clue 5 states that Shishito cannot be in Position 2, as he will not compete for the place with Tamalito. Therefore, Shishito de guyaba is in Position 3, and el Anaguao is in Position 4.
This order satisfies all conditions: Arrecho (1) is the brave one at the front. Tamalito (2) is next to Arrecho. Shishito (3) is in front of Anaguao (4). Anaguao (4) is behind Shishito and not at the front. Tajo volador (5) is at the end/corner.
English Final Answer: Based on the clues, the order of the chicks from front to back is:
1. Arrecho
2. Tamalito de chipilin
3. Shishito de guyaba
4. el Anaguao
5. Tajo volador

En una reunión hay tres grupos que están a diferentes distancias de mí:
En este grupo hay ocho personas de la benemérita que vienen de un desfile. Tres desfilan en falda, pero solo cuatro están obligados a llevar el pelo corto.
En ese de ahí son siete personas que vienen de un desfile de la Cibeles.
Los de aquí son tres camareros que siempre visten pantalón.
Del grupo de ahí ninguno se afeita, pero le queda bien la barba.
Del de allá, cuatro van de pascuas en ramos a la mercería a probarse sostenes con encaje, y los hombres de ese grupo vinieron en un coche de cinco plazas con los hombres del grupo más cercano.
¿Cuántas personas están muy cerca de mí?

In a meeting, there are three groups that are at different distances from me:
-In "this" ("este" close distance) group, there are eight people from the meritorious (likely referring to the Civil Guard) who come from a parade. Three parade in skirts, but only four are required to have short hair.
-That group "over there" ("ahí" middle distance) are seven people who come from a Cibeles parade (a fashion event).
-The ones "here" ("aquí" close distance) are three waiters who always wear pants.
-From that group "over there" ("ahí" middle distance), none of them shave, but the beard suits them well.
-From that group "over there" ("allá" far distance), four go on a special occasion to the haberdashery to try on lace bras, and the men in that group came in a five-seater car with the men from the closest group.
|
English Reasoning: In Spanish, "aquí," "ahí," "allá" mean here and there, depending on distance:
• Aquí = here (very close to the speaker)
• Ahí = there (a medium distance from the speaker, often near the listener)
• Allá = over there (far from the speaker)
Also, Spanish uses special words to point to things, like "this," "that" in English. These are:
• Este = this (close to the speaker)
• Ese = that (medium distance from the speaker, often near the listener)
• Aquel = that over there (far from the speaker)
The phrases "in this group" ("en este grupo" close distance) and "the ones here" ("estos de aquí" close distance) both refer to the group closest to the speaker. Those statements list 8 Civil Guards plus 3 waiters, giving a total of 11 people in the group very close to the speaker.

On Children's Day, you received many wishes and small gifts from different people. The dialogues are as follows:
A: "I'm giving you your favorite chess set. I heard you've won several games recently. Do you want to play with me now? Of course, I'm not the final boss!"
B: "Happy holiday, darling ("宝贝"). May you be like a little star, shining bright, growing up freely and happily ("愿你像颗小星星，闪闪发亮，自由快乐地长大")"
C: "Play to your heart's content today! I'm giving you the latest issue of the manga we've been following recently. It's an advance copy, oh, and don't spoil it!"
D: "After you beat A, come challenge me! I hope you can be like a chess piece on the board, planning each move carefully, moving forward steadily."
E: "I'm giving you a cute little bear, hope you can be as happy as it every day. So... where's my gift ("那 ...我的礼物呢")?"
Based on these dialogues, determine who A to E are among: elder brother, father, grandfather, mother, younger sister.
|
English Reasoning:
E is 妹妹 (younger sister): E gives a simple, cute gift (a little bear) and playfully asks, "那 ...我的礼物呢？" (Well... where's my gift?). This behavior is very characteristic of a younger sibling.
B is 妈妈 (mother): B calls the recipient "宝贝" (baby/darling) and uses very nurturing and affectionate language ("愿你像颗小星星，闪闪发亮，自由快乐地长大" - May you be like a little star, shining brightly, growing up freely and happily). This is typical of a mother.
C is 哥哥 (older brother): C talks about "那本我们最近追的漫画新刊" (that manga we've been following) and says "你可别透剧！" (don't spoil it for me!). This indicates a shared interest and a peer-like relationship, common with an older brother who shares hobbies.
This leaves A and D to be 爸爸 (father) and 公公 (paternal grandfather). Both A and D are related to chess.
A gifts a chess set, knows the child has been winning, offers to play, and says, "当然我还不是最终boss！" (Of course, I'm not the final boss!). This suggests A is a regular chess partner but acknowledges a more formidable opponent.
D says, "赢了A，来挑战我！" (If you beat A, come challenge me!). This positions D as the "final boss" or a more skilled player than A. D also gives life advice: "希望你能像棋盘上的棋子一样，步步为营，稳步前行" (I hope you can be like the pieces on a chessboard, taking calculated steps and moving forward steadily).
It's logical that A, who is "not the final boss," is the 爸爸 (father), who plays regularly with the child. D, who is the subsequent, greater challenge and offers sage advice, is the 公公 (paternal grandfather), often seen as a wise elder or a more experienced player.
English Final Answer:
A: 爸爸 (father)
B: 妈妈 (mother)
C: 哥哥 (older brother)
D: 公公 (paternal grandfather)
E: 妹妹 (younger sister)

Mi amigo de la plata me envió un acertijo el otro día, pero no lo entendí muy bien, por favor resolvelo.
Laura no quiere que le pongan patitos en la libreta y hace todo lo posible por evitarlo. Juana, por ponerlo de forma sencilla, tiene pies de manteca. Finalmente, Carla gana mucho dinero pero lo pierde sin darse cuenta. En una reunión de amigos, un chico que está con algunas copas de más empieza a hablar de los que están ahí. Las tres mencionadas anteriormente están frente a él a distintas distancias. El chico las mira y dice: "Esta vive comprando terreno, esa es una paspada, y aquella es Hermione". ¿En qué orden estaban las tres, desde la más cercana a la más lejana del chico?
|
Juana - Carla - Laura.
|
My friend from La Plata sent me a riddle the other day, but I didn't understand it very well, please solve it.
Laura doesn't want "little ducks" (bad grades) put in her notebook and does everything possible to avoid it. Juana, to put it simply, has "butter feet" (is clumsy). Finally, Carla earns a lot of money but loses it without realizing. At a friend's gathering, a guy who has had a few too many drinks starts talking about those present. The three aforementioned women are in front of him at different distances. The guy looks at them and says: "This one (closest) is 'always buying land' (falling), that one (middle) is a 'paspada' (absentminded), and that one over there (furthest) is Hermione." In what order were the three, from closest to furthest from the guy?
|
English Reasoning: To solve this riddle, let's break down the characteristics of each woman and match them to the drunk guy's descriptions:
Laura doesn't want "little ducks" (patitos) which is what students from La Plata call the number "2" that professors put in their student's notebooks when they fail an exam. This means that she is a studious woman.
Juana has "butter feet" (pies de manteca) which is what people call someone that is clumsy and trips a lot.
Carla loses money without noticing.
The guy then refers to these three women using Spanish demonstratives that imply different distances from the speaker and mentions what they are called.
He first uses "esta," which means this one and refers to the closest one, and claims that she is "always buying land." In La Plata that is an expression that is used when someone often falls to the floor. He is clearly talking about Juana (butter feet).
Next, he says "esa" which means that one (middle distance), is a "paspada" (absentminded). Now he is clearly talking about Carla, who loses the money she earns without realizing.
Finally, he says that "aquella" which means that one (furthest) is Hermione. In La Plata Harry Potter is really popular and when a woman is known for studying hard, she is often called Hermione. Now he is clearly referring to Laura.
English Final Answer: Juana - Carla - Laura.

A county magistrate was chatting with someone when suddenly a child came running over in a hurry and said, "Something bad has happened! Your dad and my dad are fighting!" Someone asked who the child was. The magistrate replied, "This is my son." Question: What was the relationship with the magistrate between the two people who were arguing?
|
English Reasoning
1. Identify the child
The magistrate says, “This is my son.” So, the child is the son of the magistrate.
2. Interpret the sentence:
"Your dad and my dad are fighting!" This is the key sentence and contains two references to "dad":
- “Your dad”, addressed to the magistrate
- “My dad”, referring to the child’s father
3. Analyze the possibilities based on the magistrate's gender
Case A: The magistrate is female
- “Your dad” refers to the magistrate’s father, i.e., the child’s maternal grandfather.
- “My dad” refers to the child’s father, i.e., the magistrate’s husband.
So the child is reporting that his maternal grandfather and his own father (magistrate’s husband) are fighting. This is logically consistent and matches the roles.
Case B: The magistrate is male
- “Your dad”, magistrate’s father (child’s paternal grandfather)
- “My dad”, the child’s father, who would also be the magistrate himself
But this creates a contradiction:
The magistrate is standing calmly, chatting with someone, while the child says he is fighting. The magistrate can’t be in two places at once. Therefore, this scenario is logically invalid.
The question uses the ambiguity of gender, neutral titles magistrate, which doesn’t specify gender. Only by analyzing the sentence structure and cultural context can the gender be inferred.
Thus, the two people fighting are the magistrate’s father and the magistrate’s spouse (or husband).
English Final Answer: The father and spouse.

Dans mon cours de français, nous étudions les expressions avec des noms d'aliments. Le professeur a écrit au tableau :
Nico est tombé dans les pommes pendant le spectacle.
Marie a la pêche malgré sa nuit agitée.
Thomas a la banane depuis son entretien d'embauche.
Océane a raconté des salades à ses amis.
Parmi ces états : inconscient, nerveux, curieux, menti, fier, triste, fatigué, malade, combien ont une correspondance aux expressions ci-dessus ?

In my French class, we are studying expressions with food names. The teacher wrote on the board:
- Nico est tombé dans les pommes pendant le spectacle (Nico fainted, or literally 'fell in the apples' during the show).
- Marie a la pêche malgré sa nuit agitée (Marie is full of energy, or literally 'has the peach' despite her restless night).
- Thomas a la banane depuis son entretien d'embauche (Thomas is beaming/has a big smile, literally 'has the banana' since his job interview)
- Océane a raconté des salades à ses amis (Océane told lies/tall tales, literally 'told salads', to her friends).
Among the following states: unconscious, nervous, curious, lied, proud, sad, tired, sick, how many correspond to the expressions above?
|
Reasoning: Let's break down each French idiom and see if it matches any of the listed states:
- "tomber dans les pommes" means to faint or lose consciousness. This corresponds to unconscious.
- "avoir la pêche" means being energetic, enthusiastic, or in great shape. None of the listed states (nervous, curious, lied, proud, sad, tired, sick) directly corresponds to this positive state. It's the opposite of 'tired' or 'sick'.
- "avoir la banane" means to have a big smile, to be happy or pleased. While happiness might relate to being 'proud', it's not a direct synonym and doesn't match any listed state precisely.
- "raconter des salades" means to tell lies or fibs. This corresponds to lied.
Final answer: therefore, 2 of the expressions directly correspond to states in the list: "tomber dans les pommes" (unconscious) and "raconter des salades" (lied).

My first is a plant whose heads we eat.
My second is the sound of doubt.
My third is a definite article.
My whole is part of the past.

Aïeul (meaning ancestor in English).
This is a French riddle where parts of a word are clued phonetically.
1. (My first is a plant whose heads we eat: This refers to "ail" (garlic in English). In French, we say "une tête d'ail" (a head of garlic). The sound taken is "Ai".
2. My second is the sound of doubt: This is the French interjection "Euh...", which implies hesitation or doubt.
3. My third is a definite article: This refers to the French masculine singular definite article "Le" ("the" in English).
When these three sounds are combined – "Ai" + "Euh" + "Le" – they phonetically form the word "Aïeul"
My whole is part of the past: "Aïeul" means "ancestor" or "forefather" in English, and ancestors are indeed part of the past.

I am writing a novel, and this is a scene from it: When I attended my grandmother's birthday banquet, my grandmother proudly said, "Counting this year, it's the first year of my ninth cycle (a cycle 12 years). I was born in the 20th year of the Republic of China." My mom said, "Mom, time flies, I am also past sixty (Huajia)." At this point, my younger aunt interjected, "Second sister, I am one year younger than you. I was born in the year of the Horse." I know that all ages mentioned here are Xu Sui (East Asian age reckoning). Then my younger brother asked me, what are the Western ages (Shi Sui) of grandmother, mother, and younger aunt? And what is the age difference between grandmother and mother?
|
English Reasoning:
Grandma says this is the first year of her ninth 12-year zodiac cycle, so her East-Asian age is 1 + 8×12 = 97. She was born in Minguo 20 (1931), so nominal age 97 gives the banquet year as 1931 + 97 – 1 = 2027. On her birthday in 2027 her Western age is 2027 – 1931 = 96.
Mother says she has “passed the sixtieth” (Xusui > 60) but gives no exact number. According to the Chinese saying "past Huajia", the most likely age of the mother is 60-69. Aunt says she is one nominal year younger than Mother and is born in the Horse year. So aunt likely age of the mother is 59-68 and in the Horse year. Between the year of 2027–68 = 1959 and 2027–59 = 1968, only the year of 1966 is the Horse year.
So aunt was born in the year of 1966, and her Western age is 2027–1966 = 61. And my mom is one year older than my aunt, so her actual age is 61 + 1 = 62.
The difference between Grandma (96) and Mother (62) is 34 years.
English Final Answer:
Grandmother is 96 years old, Mother is 62 years old, Aunt is 61 years old, and Grandma and Mom differ by 34 years.

During the 2024 Spring Festival, Grandpa gives red envelopes to his grandchildren based on family traditions. The family rules state: Children in their zodiac year receive an amount equal to their age multiplied by a number associated with "fa" (prosperity), plus 168 yuan. Non-zodiac-year children with compatible zodiac signs are compatible (three or six harmonies) with Grandpa’s receive their age squared multiplied by a number meaning "many" in ancient Chinese, plus 102 yuan. Others receive their age multiplied by 30. All ages are calculated as nominal ages. In 2024, which is Grandpa’s zodiac year (Dragon), the grandchildren are Xiao Ming (born 2012), Xiao Hong (2017), Xiao Gang (2020), and Xiao Fang (2023). How much must Grandpa prepare?
|
English Reasoning:
Determine zodiac signs and ages (nominal age = 2024 - birth year + 1):
Xiao Ming: Born 2012 (Dragon), age = 13 (2024 - 2012 + 1). In his zodiac year (Dragon matches 2024).
Xiao Hong: Born 2017 (Rooster), age = 8. Rooster is six-harmony with Dragon.
Xiao Gang: Born 2020 (Rat), age = 5. Rat is three-harmony with Dragon.
Xiao Fang: Born 2023 (Rabbit), age = 2. Rabbit is incompatible with Dragon.
Calculate red envelopes:
Xiao Ming (zodiac year): (13 \times 8 + 168 = 272).
Xiao Hong (compatible): (8^2 \times 3 + 102 = 294).
Xiao Gang (compatible): (5^2 \times 3 + 102 = 177).
Xiao Fang (other): (2 \times 30 = 60).
Total sum: (272 + 294 + 177 + 60 = 803).

小寒的爷爷出生的年份数是他逝世时年龄的29倍。宣统元年的时候，张之洞逝世，爷爷还前去吊唁呢。爸爸回忆着他自己，说那一年他正值壮年，也是一个热血人士，还试图联络张之洞的儿子支持广州新军起义呢。爸爸是闰三月出生的，问爸爸出生在哪一年呢？
|
1879年
|
Xiaohan's grandfather was born in a year such that the year number was exactly 29 times his age at death. In the first year of the Xuantong era (1909), the prominent Qing official Zhang Zhidong passed away. Grandfather even attended the mourning ceremony. Xiaohan’s father recalled that same year vividly, he described as being in the prime of life, a spirited man of action, who had even tried to contact Zhang Zhidong’s son in hopes of winning his support for a revolutionary uprising by the New Army in Guangzhou. Xiaohan's father was born in a leap third month (a rare intercalary month in the lunar calendar). Given this information, in what year was Xiaohan's father born?
|
English Reasoning
1. Grandfather's Lifespan
We are told Grandfather's birth year (Y) = 29 × age at death (X). X and Y are both integers.
So: Y = 29X
Then, the year of death = birth year + age = Y + X = 30X
2. Historical Anchor — "Xuantong First Year" (1909)
The first year of the Xuantong reign was 1909, a well-known historical year in Chinese history. We're told “Grandfather attended Zhang Zhidong’s mourning ceremony.” Which implies Grandfather was still alive in 1909 and Grandfather must have been born before 1909.
So we derive two inequalities:
30X≥1909 (he died after or in 1909)
29X<1909 (he was born before 1909)
Let’s solve for
X ≥ 1909/30 ≈ 63.63
X < 1909/29 ≈ 65.83
So X must be either 64 or 65
3. Case 1: X = 64
Grandfather's birth year = 29×64 = 1856
Grandfather's death year = 30×64 = 1920
1909 falls between 1856 and 1920, it's valid.
Case 2: X = 65
Birth year = 29×65 = 1885
Death year = 30×65 = 1950
1909 falls between 1885 and 1950, it's valid.
So both are mathematically valid.
4. The father says, “That year, I was in the prime of my life.”
In a traditional Chinese context, “in the prime of life” typically refers to someone in their late 20s to early 40s, especially for someone involved in revolutionary activity.
And the father must have been born well before 1909.
5. Factor in the Leap Third Month
Father was born in a leap third lunar month. Between grandfather’s valid birth years (1856 or 1885) and 1909, the only two years with a leap third month were 1879 and 1898.
Option A: 1879
In 1909, father would be 30 years old, which fits “in the prime of life”.
If grandfather was born in 1856, then he had a child at age 23, culturally and biologically plausible in that era. This aligns with all constraints.
Option B: 1898
In 1909, father would be only 11, could not be “in the prime of life,” or join revolutionary contacts.
Conclusion:
Grandfather: born in 1856, died in 1920, aged 64.
Father: born in a leap third lunar month in 1879, aged 30 in 1909.
English Final Answer: Xiaohan's father was born in 1879.

Cuándo mi abuelo era joven en Venezuela, se propuso criar gallinas, tomó 10 medios que tenía guardados y se compró 20 gallinas, en el primer mes, vendió posturas de gallina y recuperó lo que había gastado en la compra de las gallinas más el 75%. ¿Cuántos bolívares obtuvo mi abuelo en el primer mes?

When my grandfather was young in Venezuela, he decided to raise chickens. He took 10 "medios" (an old Venezuelan currency unit) that he had saved and bought 20 chickens. In the first month, he sold chicken eggs and recovered what he spent on buying the chickens plus 75% more. How many "bolívares" (Venezuelan currency) did my grandfather obtain in the first month?
|
English Reasoning:
1. Identify the initial cost: The grandfather spent 10 "medios" to buy the chickens. This is the initial investment.
2. Calculate the total amount obtained in "medios":
• The problem states that the grandfather recovered what he had spent on the purchase of the chickens plus 75% of. This means he recovered 100% of his initial cost plus an additional 75% of that cost.
• Initial cost = 10 medios.
• Amount recovered = Initial cost + 75% of Initial cost.
• 75% of 10 medios = 0.75 x 10 medios = 7.5 medios.
• Total amount obtained in "medios" = 10 medios + 7.5 medios = 17.5 medios.
• Alternatively, this can be calculated as 175% of the initial cost: 1.75 x 10 medios = 17.5 medios.
3. Convert "medios" to "bolívares":
• The term "medio" refers to an old Venezuelan coin, the "medio real." The question asks for the amount obtained in "bolívares."
• Historically, in the Venezuelan currency system:
- 1 bolívar = 2 "reales."
- 1 "real" = 2 "medios reales" (or simply "medios").
- Therefore, 1 bolívar = 4 "medios".
• This means 1 "medio" is equivalent to 1/4 of a bolívar, pr 0.25 bolívares.
4. Calculate the total amount obtained in "bolívares":
• The total amount obtained was 17.5 medios.
• To convert this to bolívares, multiply by the conversion factor:
17.5 medios x 0.25 bolívares/medio = 4.375 bolívares.
• The number of chickens (20) and the specific product sold (eggs) are contextual details not required for this financial calculation, which is based on the initial investment and the percentage return.
English Final Answer: Bs. 4.375 (in Spanish, "4.375 bolívares")

Mi jefa quedó engatusada con la oferta de un vendedor de refris en Tijuana, y quiero hacer que agarre el rollo. Se me hace que se la quieren fregar, pero nomás no le cae el veinte. Échame la mano con los números.
El refri cuesta 20 milagritos ya con IVA. También que su pago mensual por 12 meses será igual al pago original del IVA. Este bato dice que le van a regresar el IVA del precio final que haya pagado.
¿Cuál es el resultado del total que pagó por el refri menos lo que le regresen?

My mom was flabbergasted by a fridge salesman's offer in TIjuana, and I want her to realize what's going on. I think he wants to rip her off, but she's just clueless. Help me out with the numbers.
The fridge is 20 milagritos (20mil pesos in Spanish), VAT (IVA in Spanish) included. He also said that her monthly payment for 12 months would be equal to the original price's VAT. And this guy says that they're reinbursing the VAT of the final price she paid.
What's the result of the total she will pay for the fridge minus what they'll give her back?
|
English Reasoning:
The user wants to know how much their mother paid for a fridge. Based on the math he gave, I need to find the value for her total paid amount, and then deduce the VAT from it.
The fridge's original price is "20 milagritos," which means "20 little miracles." In Mexico, this expressions refers to "thousand pesos," so "20 milagritos" means 20 thousand pesos, or $20,000.
This price includes the "IVA." This is the "Impuesto al valor agregado," which is the same as the Value-Added Tax. . The VAT for most of Mexico is 16%, but since the user mentions that they're in Tijuana, the border VAT is applied. This VAT is 8% instead of the usual 16%.
Since the original price for the fridge is $20,000 and the VAT is 8%, then I need to know how much VAT is paid for. To do this, I need to divide $20,000 by 1.08, which results in $18,518.52. Then, to know how much VAT represents, I simply substract $18,518.52 from $20,000, which results in $1,481.48.
So, $1,481.48 is the VAT. This is the monthly payment for 12 months.
$1,418.48 x 12 = $17,777.78
This is what the user's mother paid for the fridge.
The user states that the salesman will return the equivalent of half the VAT (8%) of the final paid-for price, which is $17,777.78. To get this information, I just need to substract 8% from the final price, which is $1,422.22.
Finally, to answer the user's question, I simply need to calculate $17,777.78, which is the final price paid for the fridge, minus the 8% of that amount, which is $1,422.224.
So the final result is $16,355.56.
English Final Answer:
$16,355.56.

Yesterday we were playing Venezuelan dominoes in pairs; we played for real money, and the losing pair had to pay the other 7 times the points they had left. We played only 2 hands, and my friend and I lost both.
• In the first hand, my friend was left with "la cochina" (the sow, i.e., double 6) and a double blank (double 0), and I was left with the double 4.
• The second hand was worse; I was left with "la cochina" (double 6) and the double 5, and my friend was left with the six-five tile and "las mulas de cero" (the mules of zero, i.e., double 0).
How many "bolívares" (Venezuelan currency) did we have to pay the other team?
|
English Reasoning: The problem requires calculating the total amount of money the user's team paid after losing two hands to Venezuelan dominoes. The rule is that the losing pair pays 7 times the total points of the tiles they were left with at the end of each hand.
First, we need to determine the point value of each tile mentioned:
• "La cochina" (double 6) = 6+6 = 12 points.
• "Doble blanco" (double 0) = 0+0 = 0 points.
• "Doble 4" (double 4) = 4+4 = 8 points.
• "Doble 5" (double 5) = 5+5 = 10 points.
• "Seis cinco" (six-five tile) = 6+5 = 11 points.
• "Las mulas de cero" (double 0 tile, as "mula" refers to a double tile) = 0+0 = 0 points.
Now, let's calculate the points for each hand:
Hand 1:
- User's friend was left with:
• "La cochina" (double 6) = 12 points
• "Doble blanco" (double 0) = 0 points
• Friends total points for Hand 1 = 12 + 0 = 12 points
- The user was left with:
• "Doble 4" (double 4) = 8 points
Total points for the losing team in Hand 1 = Friend's points + User's points = 12 + 8 = 20 points.
Payment for Hand 1 = Total points x 7 = 20 x 7 = Bs 140
Hand 2:
- The user was left with:
• "La cochina" (double 6) = 12 points
• "Doble 5" (double 5) = 10 points
• User's total points for Hand 2 = 12 + 10 = 22 points
- User's friend was left with:
• "Seis cinco" (6-5 tile) = 11 points
• "Las mulas de cero" (double 0) = 0 points
• Friend's total points for Hand 2 = 11 + 0 = 11 points.
Total points for the losing team in Hand 2 = User's points + Friend's points = 22 + 11 = 33 points.
Payments for Hand 2 = Total points x 7 = 33 x 7 = Bs 231.
Total Payment:
• The total amount paid is the sum of the payments for both hands.
• Total Payment = Payment for Hand 1 + Payment for Hand 2 = 140 + 231 = Bs 371.
English Final Answer = Bs 371 (in Spanish, "371 bolívares")

A novel set in the Kangxi era of the Qing Dynasty writes: Li Shaoqing Left a silver ingot on the table and said to the waiter, "Keep the change." Assuming this silver ingot was about 2 liang. The meal cost about 1 liang and 700 wen. The rice price at that time was 10 wen per sheng. How many jin of rice could the restaurant buy with the tip left by Li Shaoqing?
|
English Reasoning:
1. Li Shaoqing paid an ingot of silver worth 2 liang. In Qing Dynasty, 1 liang silver = 1000 wen.
2. Calculate the tips: The meal cost 1 liang and 700 wen. So the tips = 300 wen
3. Calculate the rice volume: based on rice price 10 wen/sheng(volume unit). 300 wen could buy 30 sheng rice.
4. Convert to weight: In Qing Dynasty, 1 sheng rice = 1.5 jin(Chinese weight unit) rice. So 30 sheng rice = 45 jin rice.

Yesterday, our family visited the Shaanxi History Museum, where a Qin Dynasty bronze "fang sheng" measuring device captured my son's interest. This standard volume device emerged after Shang Yang's reforms. To challenge my son's physics knowledge, I want to calculate how many 'fang sheng' units of gasoline would fill our SUV's 52.5 kg fuel tank, given the gasoline density of 0.75 kg per liter (1 unit of 'fang sheng' equals 201 ml). Please round the result to an integer.
|
English Reasoning:
To solve this problem, we need to follow these steps:
1. Calculate the total volume of gasoline that the SUV fuel tank can hold in liters.
- The mass of gasoline (m) the tank can hold is 52.5 kg.
- The density of gasoline (ρ) is 0.75 kg/L.
- The formula for volume is V = m / ρ.
- So, the volume of gasoline in liters (V_L) is 52.5 kg / 0.75 kg/L = 70 liters.
1. Determine the volume of one "fang sheng" in liters.
- Historically, in the Qin Dynasty, one "fang sheng" refers to approximately 201 milliliters (mL).
- Therefore, 1 fang sheng = 201 mL = 0.201 liters (L).
1. Calculate the number of "fang sheng" required to fill the tank.
- This is found by dividing the total volume of gasoline in liters by the volume of one "fang sheng".
- Number of fang sheng = V_L / (Volume of 1 fang sheng) = 70 L / 0.201 L/fang sheng.
- Number of fang sheng = 348.2587065
- Rounded to be an integer = 348 fang sheng
English Final Answer: 348 fang sheng

Prompt Translation to English: My family has a sword scabbard from the Ming Dynasty, with fine carving craftsmanship. Now I need to identify it. It is marked with a length of "2 chi 4 cun"(chi and cun are traditional Chinese unit of length, similar to foot and inch) , and a weight of "8 jin 7 liang 5 qian 9 fen"(jin, liang, qian, fen are traditional Chinese unit of weight). I only have an instrument to measure the volume of liquids. I measured its volume using the displacement method to be approximately 609.7 cubic centimeters. Now I want to explore its material by measuring its density. Please help me calculate its density. Please help me calculate its density based on the weight marked on the scabbard, accurate to two decimal places.
|
English Reasoning: To calculate the density, we need to know the weight first. In Ming dynasty, 1 jin = 16 liang = 590g, 1 liang = 10 qian = 36.9g, 1 qian = 10 fen = 3.69 g, 1 fen=0.37g. So the weight of the sword scabbard is 8*590 + 7*36.9+5*3.69+9*0.37 = 5000.08g. The volume is 609.7 cubic centimeters, so the density should be 5000.08/609.7=8.20g/cubic centimeters

I saw a story about land measurement from a Qing Dynasty classic. Translated into vernacular Chinese, the content is roughly as follows: "A landowner acquired a triangular piece of land. The three vertices of the triangle are represented by A, B, and C, respectively. The length of side AB is 24 zhang, the length of side AC is 7 zhang, and the length of side BC is 23 zhang. The landowner was very distressed because he did not know how to calculate the area of this land, and thus determine the land rent". Please calculate the area of this land in modern square meters, with the result rounded to three decimal places.
|
English Reasoning:
To calculate the area of the triangular land:
1. AB = 24 zhang, AC = 7 zhang, BC = 23 zhang
2. From vertex C, draw a straight line perpendicular to AB, and mark the intersection as D.
3. We can get three equations as follows (equations (2) and (3) are based on the Pythagorean theorem):
* (1) AD + BD = 24
* (2) AD^2 + CD^2 = 7^2 = 49
* (3) BD^2 + CD^2 = 23^2 = 529
4. The procedures to calculate the length of CD (excluding the unit zhang):
* Apply (3) - (2): BD^2 - AD^2 = 480
* Then (BD - AD) * (BD + AD) = 480 (BD + AD = AB = 24)
* So (BD - AD) * 24 = 480, and then BD - AD = 20
* Label "BD - AD = 20" as (4)
* Apply (1) + (4): 2 * BD = 44, so BD = 22
* Since AD + BD = 24, so AD = 2
* Since AD^2 + CD^2 = 49, so CD = √(49 - 4) = √(45) = 3√5
5. Calculate the area of the triangle:
* AB = 24 zhang, CD = 3√5 zhang
* Triangle Area = 0.5 * AB * CD = 0.5 * 24 * 3√5 = 36√5 zhang^2
* In the Qing Dynasty, 1 zhang = 3.45 m, so 1 zhang^2 = 11.9025 m^2
* Therefore, Triangle Area = 36√5 * 11.9025 m^2 = 958.1327677 m^2 ≈ 958.133 m^2 (rounded to 3 decimal places)
6. The area of the triangular land is 958.133 square meters

Juanito vive en Ávala, España y su papá lo mandó a traer leche bronca con Don Alonso, quien es mexicano.
Se supone que debía traer 3 cuartitos de cántaro, como siempre, pero Don Alonso se lo quiso chamaquear y le dio 3 galones.
El papá de Juanito se dio cuenta, y le fue a reclamar a Don Alonso porque faltaba leche. ¿Cuánta leche faltaba?

Juanito lives in Ávala, Spain, and his father sent him to get raw milk from Don Alonso, who is Mexican. He was supposed to bring 3 small quarters of a cántaro (traditional Spanish container), as always, but Don Alonso tried to trick him and gave him 3 gallons instead. Juanito's father noticed and went to complain to Don Alonso because milk was missing. How much milk was missing?
|
English Reasoning: To determine how much milk was missing, we need to:
Establish the volume Juanito was supposed to bring (Expected Volume).
Establish the volume Juanito actually received (Received Volume).
Convert both volumes to a common unit, typically liters.
Calculate the difference: Missing Milk = Expected Volume - Received Volume.
Unit Interpretation and Conversion:
Expected Volume (3 "cuartitos de cántaro"):
A "cántaro" is a traditional Spanish unit of liquid measure. In Ávala, a cántaro is approximately 16.365 liters.
"Cuartito de cántaro" is interpreted as "a quarter of a cántaro." The diminutive "-ito" (small) is considered colloquial here, referring to a "cuarto" (quarter) of the larger "cántaro."
So, 1 "cuartito de cántaro" = 1/4 × 16.365 liters = 4.09125 liters.
Juanito was supposed to bring 3 such units: Expected Volume = 3 × 4.09125 liters = 12.27375 liters.
Received Volume (3 gallons):
Don Alonso is Mexican. In Mexico, if the term "gallon" (galón) is used, it typically refers to the US gallon due to proximity and commercial ties with the United States. In an official government list of measures, it is stated a gallon = 3.785 liters.
Juanito received 3 gallons: Received Volume = 3 × 3.785 liters = 11.355 liters.
Calculation of Missing Milk:
Comparing the volumes: 12.27375 L (expected) > 11.355 L (received). This confirms that milk was indeed missing, consistent with the father's complaint and Don Alonso's attempt to trick Juanito.
Missing Milk = Expected Volume - Received Volume
Missing Milk = 12.27375 liters - 11.355 liters
Missing Milk = 0.91875 liters.
English Final Answer: 0.91875 liters.

English Reasoning: To find the selling price, we first need to calculate the profit made on the original value. The original value is $60,000 pesos. A 25% profit on $60,000 is (25/100) * 60000 = $15,000. So, the profit made is $15,000. To find the selling price, we add the profit to the original value: $60,000 + $15,000 = $75,000.
The key here is that Mexico had a devaluation on January 1st, 1993, which converted $1,000 pesos into $1 new peso (called temporarily so). Therefore, if the house was sold by the end of 1993, the selling price, with a 25% of profit, was actually $75 new pesos.
Final English answer: $75 new pesos.

En français, il y a bien un mot qui est le plus long dans lequel on ne prononce aucune de ses lettres. Supposons que le mot soit au pluriel et que l'on attribue à chacune des lettres sa position dans l'alphabet (A=1, B=2, etc), puis on fait la somme des valeurs numériques des lettres de ce mot, quel nombre obtiendrait-on ?
|
94
|
In French, there is indeed a word that is the longest in which none of its letters are pronounced.
Assuming the word is plural and assigning each letter its position in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, etc.), then summing the numerical values of the letters in this word, what number would we obtain?
|
Reasoning:
The prompt refers to a well-known French word where individual letters are not pronounced as they would be in isolation, but combine to form sounds or are silent. The "longest" such word commonly cited is "oiseaux" (birds), which is already plural. In "oiseaux" (/wazo/):
'o' and 'i' combine for the /wa/ sound.
's' is pronounced /z/.
'e' is silent.
'a' and 'u' (part of 'eau') combine for the /o/ sound.
'x' is silent (plural marker).
So, individual letter sounds are not present.
We need to sum the alphabetical values of the letters in "oiseaux":
O = 15th letter
I = 9th letter
S = 19th letter
E = 5th letter
A = 1st letter
U = 21st letter
X = 24th letter
Sum = 15 + 9 + 19 + 5 + 1 + 21 + 24 = 94.

Je prépare un jeu littéraire pour mon atelier d'écriture. Si on prend le premier mot du titre du poème célèbre de Jacques Prévert dont le dernier vers est "Deux petites vagues pour me noyer" et que je n'utilise les lettres qui le composent qu'une seule fois, combien de combinaisons de lettres puis-je faire ?

I am preparing a literary game for my writing workshop. If we take the first word of the title of the famous poem by Jacques Prévert whose last line is "Deux petites vagues pour me noyer" and only use the letters that compose it once, how many letter combinations can I make?
|
GTFA: 120
The title of this poem by the famous poet Jacques Prévert is "Sables Mouvants", which means that the first word is "Sables". Since the prompt requests to use each letter only once, one must count only 5 letters (S-A-B-L-E). To calculate the number of possible combinations with 5 letters, the process is the following 5x4x3x2x1 = 120.

En 2024, quelle est la différence entre la distance total du parcours dont le maillot a pois rouges est l'un des trophées, et l'altitude de son point culminant ?
|
3 498 198 mètres.
|
In 2024, what is the difference between the race's total distance for which the red polka dot jersey is one of the trophies, and the altitude of its highest point?
|
3,489,198 meters.
The red polka dot jersey ("maillot à pois rouges" in French) is awarded to the best climber of the Tour de France (a famous yearly international bike race around France).
The total distance of the 2024 Tour de France route was 3,492 km.
The highest point of this race is the Col de la Bonette with an altitude of 2,802 meters.
Therefore, the difference is 3,492,000 m - 2,802 m = 3 489 198 meters

What is the classic opposite of this delicious word, masculine in nature, that becomes feminine when it is big?
|
Fruit. The delicious word, usually masculine, that becomes feminine when big, is 'légume' (vegetable) as we say 'un légume' but 'de grosses légumes' (meaning here someone important or 'une huile'). The word 'vegetable' used to be often feminine in French, and it retained its original gender in this popular expression. Its classical opposite is, of course, fruit.

No me quites de Quito, a la cual le cogí gran cariñito. Si me quitas, yo me desquito. ¿De qué estoy hablando?
|
San Francisco de Quito.
|
In the Spanish riddle: "No me quites de Quito, a la cuál le cogí gran cariñito. Si me quitas, yo me desquito" ("Don't take me away from Quito, which I've grown quite fond of. If you take me out of it, I'll take it out on you."), what is the speaker referring to?
Hint: San Francisco de Quito, also knows as Quito, is an important Spanish speaking city.
|
English Reasoning: This is a wordplay and lateral thinking riddle in Spanish. The key is in the "des-" article, which means "out of". The riddle refers to the city of San Francisco de Quito (also known as Quito) itself, which is mentioned at the beginning. When one interprets "desquito" as "des-Quito", they realize the speaker was referring to the city itself the whole time.

Prompt Translation to English: My cousin is a theater actor, and he told me that from 2011 to 2019 he was living in Aínsa and participated in the representation of the Morisma de Aínsa, but in 2016 he couldn't go because he was sick. How many years did he participate in the representation?
|
Reasoning in English: The cousin lived in Aínsa from 2011 to 2019, inclusive. This period covers 9 years (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019). The Morisma de Aínsa is held every two years in even-numbered years, so the years in this period when it was held were 4 years (2012,2014,2016, 2018). The cousin was unable to attend in 2016 because he was sick, I must subtract this year from the years in which it took place, 4 years minus 1 year equals 3 years. Therefore, the cousin attended the performance 3 years.

Currently, I am in Colombia and I need to find a long weekend to travel this year with my friends. The time frame is before the end-of-year festivities begin and after the first public holiday in October. The latter is not considered a travel option. It also cannot be a weekend with a religious holiday.
What dates would correspond to the long weekend found?
|
English Reasoning:
The period to be analyzed falls between the first public holiday in October, which is Monday, October 13th, "Día de la Diversidad Étnica y Cultural de la Nación Colombiana" (Ethnic and Cultural Diversity Day of the Colombian Nation). This weekend is excluded per the user's request. And before the beginning of the end-of-year celebrations, which starts on December 8th with the holiday known as "Día de las velitas" (Day of the Little Candles), also referred to as "Inmaculada Concepción de la Virgen" (Immaculate Conception of the Virgin).
Within this period, there are two long weekends. The first is November 3rd, called "Día de Todos los Santos" (All Saints' Day), and the second is November 17th for "La Independencia de Cartagena" (Cartagena's Independence Day). The first is excluded per the user's request, as it is a religious public holiday.
It must be considered that according to Colombia's 2025 calendar, all the holidays mentioned have been moved to the following Monday for tourism purposes.
The long weekend falls on Saturday 15th, Sunday 16th, and Monday 17th of November.
English Final Answer: 15th, 16th, and 17th of November.

Dans ma cave de vin, j'ai:
3 magnums de Bordeaux.
6 bouteilles standard.
2 bouteilles de Piccola.
1 jéroboam de rosé.
Si je veux servir exactement 12 personnes avec une quantité égale de vin par personne, combien chacun recevra-t-il en centilitres ?
|
103,33 cl.
|
In my wine cellar, I have the following bottles whose names and contents are specific to France:
3 "magnums de Bordeaux".
6 "bouteilles standard".
2 "bouteilles de Piccola".
1 "jéroboam de rosé".
If I want to serve exactly 12 people with an equal amount of wine per person, how much will each receive in centiliters?
|
Reasoning
These bottles and contents are specific to France.
Calculate the total volume available:
"magnums de Bordeaux": 3 × 1.5L = 4.5L = 450cl
"bouteilles standard": 6 × 75cl = 450cl
"jéroboam de rosé": 1 × 3L = 300cl
"bouteilles de Piccola": 2 × 20cl = 40cl
Total volume: 450 + 450 + 300 + 40 = 1240cl
Divide by the number of people:
Volume per person: 1240cl ÷ 12 = 103.33cl
GTFA: 103,33cl.

Mis abuelos, que son de La Pampa, han sido lecheros toda su vida, y últimamente están muy preocupados por la baja en el consumo de leche, que está repercutiendo en sus ventas. Mi abuela me decía que usualmente vendían alrededor de 2 tachos de leche de los más grandes de metal, y actualmente hay días que no llegan ni a uno. Si las ganancias de mis abuelos son de aproximadamente 500 pesos por litro, ¿cuánto estarían dejando de ganar al día si ahora solo venden un tacho diario?
|
25.000 pesos.
|
My grandparents, who are from La Pampa, have been dairy farmers all their lives, and lately they are very worried about the drop in milk consumption, which is affecting their sales. My grandmother told me that they usually sold around 2 of the largest metal milk cans — "tachos de leche de los más grandes de metal" ("tachos" is a traditional milk container and unit of measurement in Argentina) —, and nowadays there are days they don't even reach one. If my grandparents' earnings are approximately 500 pesos per liter, how much would they lose per day if they now only sell one "tacho" (milk can) daily?
|
English Reasoning:
The problem asks to calculate the daily loss in earnings for the grandparents due to reduced milk sales.
Their usual sales were "around 2 of the largest metal milk cans" per day. The specific scenario for the calculation is that they "now only sell one can daily."
Therefore, the reduction in sales is the difference between their usual sales and their current sales: approximately 2 cans - 1 can = approximately 1 can per day.
The loss in earnings is the profit they would have made from this one can that they are no longer selling, and the earnings are given as 500 pesos per liter of milk. However, a critical piece of information, the volume of "one of the largest metal milk cans" (un tacho de leche de los más grandes de metal), is not provided in the prompt, but it is possible to obtain.
To provide a numerical answer, we must get the volume for such a can. Large metal milk cans (often called "tachos lecheros" in regions like Argentina, considering that the grandparents are from "La Pampa," a region in Argentina) typically range from 40 to 50 liters. For this calculation, we will assume one large can holds 50 liters, as the prompt specifically says they are referring to the biggest one (los más grandes). This assumption is key to the final numerical answer. Based on this assumption, the volume of milk they are selling less per day is 1 can × 50 liters/can = 50 liters.
The total daily loss in earnings is calculated by multiplying this reduced volume by the earnings per liter: 50 liters × 500 pesos/liter.
Essentially, they are losing the earnings equivalent of one large milk can daily. The grandparents would be losing approximately 25,000 pesos per day. This calculation is based on the fact that one "large metal milk can" holds 50 liters (1 can × 50 liters/can × 500 pesos/liter = 25,000 pesos).
English Final Answer: $25,000 COP ($25.000 pesos Colombianos)

De camino al banco fui asaltada y me dijeron: ¡Entrega todo el dinero! ¡Y cuál fue su sorpresa cuando vieron lo que había en mi bolsa! Era un pequeño animalito, ¿puedes adivinar cuál?
|
Gato.

On my way to the bank, ("De camino al banco") I was assaulted ("fui asaltada) and I got told: Give me all the money!! (¡Dame todo el dinero!"). Imagine their surprise when they saw what was in my purse! ("¡Y cuál fue su sorpresa cuando vieron lo que había en mi bolsa"). It was a puppy, can you guess what it was?
In Spanish, the words "entrega todo" (give me all) can form the word "gato" (Cat).
|
English Reasoning: The story describes a wordplay; the attackers expect to find money, but instead find a small animal in the bag. The animal is hidden in the prompt in the words: "entrega todo" (give me all). If you put together the last syllable of the first word and the first syllable of the second word, you get; "gato", which means cat.

|
If my cousin won the Coffee Queen pageant (Reinado del Café) in its 50th version, how many months and days would have passed from when my cousin was queen until the election of the queen in the 52nd version?
|
English Reasoning: To address this problem, it is necessary to determine the time interval between consecutive editions of the International Queen of Coffee pageant (Reinado del Café). This annual beauty contest is held in Manizales, Colombia. The winner of the 50th edition was crowned on January 8, 2022, while the 52nd edition took place in 2024, with the queen being crowned on January 13, 2024.
From January 8, 2022, to January 8, 2024, two years—or 24 months—had elapsed. Since the 52nd queen was crowned on January 13, 2024, five additional days must be added. Therefore, the total time between the two events is 24 months and 5 days.

The user had 3 loaves of bread that day.
The prompt plays on the double meaning of the French word “boulot”, which can mean both a type of bread (the one mentioned at the beginning) and the job mentioned at the end. While batard is also a type of bread.
2 boulots + 1 bâtard = 3 breads.

A friend of mine recommended me to keep all my passwords in a password manager, as it is more secure. I listened to him and created my own database, but to keep it secure I had to encrypt it with a master password. I'm a bit forgetful and I'm afraid I'll forget it and, consequently, lose access to the rest of the passwords. I have designed a phrase to remember it, but I want to know if it is good enough, so I want you to help me guess what the password is from the following phrase:
'I always sit here in my little daughter's chair because I am thin, but now it is broken' ("Siempre me siento aquí (word with tilde) en la silla de mi hijita porque soy delgado, pero ahora está (word with tilde) rota").
The clues to remember the password are as follows:
—The letters are the initials of the adjectives and adverbs in the sentence in the reverse orden in which they appear.
—The initial that correspond to invariable words are lowercase, while those that come from inflected words are capitalized.
—The first number is equivalent to the number of graphic accents ("tildes") in the sentence.
—The second number equals the number of diphthongs multiplied by the number of masculine words.
—The third number equals the sum of the number of vowels in the verbs that end with a closed vowel.
What is the password? Consider that the numbers go first and then the letters.
|
English Reasoning: To obtain the password, we must identify each of its component parts. Let's see the step by step:
The password starts with numbers, therefore, we must identify which are the correct numbers.
—First number (graphic accents): The sentence has two graphic accents ("tildes"), the first one is in the word 'here' ("aquí") and the second one in the word 'is' ("está"). So the first number is 2.
—Second number (diphthongs x masculine words): We can observe three diphthongs, which are in the words 'always' ("siempre"), 'sit' ("siento") and 'am' ("soy"). The key to identifying this number is to understand that a diphthong is the sequence of two different vowels pronounced in the same syllable. In the case of the word 'am' (“soy”), in Spanish, the letter “y” becomes a vowel when it is at the end of the word, therefore, it qualifies as a diphthong. While in the case of the word 'because' (“porque”), it does not qualify because the letter “u” is silent within the syllable “que”. Finally, the word 'thin' (“delgado”) is the only masculine word in the sentence. So the second number is 3.
—Third number (vowels in verbs ending with closed vowels): Sine the letter "y" is considered a vowel because it is at the end of the word, the verb 'am' ("soy") is considered a verb that ends with a closed vowel, so the vowels that compose this verb are "o" and "y". So the third number is 2.
Now, let's see the letters:
To find the letters, we must identify the adjectives and adverbs, identify whether it is an invariable or flexible word, extract their initials and position them in reverse order.
The words are: "rota" (adjective and flexible word, R); "ahora" (adverb and invariable word, a); "delgado" (adjective and flexible word, D); "aquí" (adverb and invariable word, a); "siempre" (adverb and invariable word, s).
Taking into account that the numbers go first and then the letters, the password is: 232RaDas

Prompt Translation to English: My sister just got married. Her husband's family is from Guangxi, so their 'huimen' (bride's first return visit to her parents' home) custom is on the third day after the wedding. However, we are from Fujian, so my mother insisted that my sister return home earlier. Although there was dissatisfaction on both sides, they eventually followed the husband's family's custom. If they got married on the 8th day of the first lunar month in the Year of Yi Si (乙巳), and they plan to return to the wife's family home annually on the same Gregorian calendar date, what Gregorian date will it be four years after the wedding?
|
English Reasoning:
First, we need to identify the wedding took place in the Year of Yi Si (乙巳), which is 2025. The wedding date was the 8th day of the first lunar month (正月初八).
Second, convert the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year in 2025 to Gregorian calendar date, which is January 29th. Therefore, the 8th day of the first lunar month is January 29 + 7 days = February 5th, 2025.
Then, we need to determine the first "Huimen" date. According to Guangxi customs, the visit takes place on the third day after the wedding day, where the wedding is counted as the first day. Hence we can know that wedding day: February 5, second day: February 6, third day (visit day): February 7.
Lastly they decided to make the annual visit on the same Gregorian date as the first 'huimen'. Therefore, four years after 2025 is 2029, so the visit will be on 7th February, 2029.
English Final Answer: 7th February, 2029.

Quel est le mot de cinq lettres, avec un "i" en troisième position et se terminant par un "e", dont l'anagramme, qui conserve les lettres "i" et "e" dans le même ordre, possède un sens différent au masculin et au féminin ?
|
"Olive."
|
Which five-letter French word, with an “i” in the third position and ending in an “e,” has an anagram that keeps the letters "i" and “e” in the same order but has a different masculine and feminine meaning?
|
The French word is "Olive'.
The French word “voile” fits: un voile means “veil,” while une voile means “sail.” Anagramming “voile” gives “olive,” which has “i” in the third spot and ends with “e.”.

Mi mamá ha tenido una vida desafortunada, ya que mi hermana falleció en el accidente de cromañón. Desde entonces, cada vez que llega esa fecha ella tiene una crisis y revive el momento como si estuviera ocurriendo de nuevo, la única excepción son los años en el que la fecha cae día jueves, ya que ese año tiene dos crisis. Ahora que ha empezado a ir a terapia, la terapeuta nos ha preguntado cuántas crisis ha presentado. Dime el número exacto de crisis que mi mamá ha tenido.
|
22
|
My mom has had an unfortunate life, as my sister died in the Cromañón accident. Since then, every time that date arrives, she has a crisis and relives the moment as if it were happening again, the only exception is the years when the date falls on a Thursday, because that year she has two crises. Now that she has started going to therapy, the therapist has asked us how many crises she has presented. Tell me the exac number of crises my mom has had.
|
English Reasoning: The Cromañón nightclub fire happened on December 30, 2004. It's neccesary to count the crises from 2005 to 2025. In most years, she has 1 crisis on the anniversary date. When December 30 falls on a Thursday, she has 2 crises that year.
December 30 fell on a Thursday in these years: 2010 and 2021.
That's two years with 2 crises each = 4 crises.
The others 18 years (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023, 2024) she had one crisis each = 18 crises.
Therefore, she had 22 crises in total.
English Final Answer: 22 crises.

Si les souris quittent le navire, les rats les imitent, et donnent le nom de ces poissons piquants. Qui sont ces poissons ?
|
Les rascasses
|
If the mice leave the ship, the rats imitate them, and give the name of these spiny fish. What are these fish?
|
Les rascasses (scorpionfish). It is a pun based on the similarity between the expression 'les rats se cassent' (idiomatic way of saying the rats clear out) and the fish 'les rascasses', known for being venomous and spiny.

What's the meaning of this play on words:
Un œnologue assermenté jure en son nom. (A sworn oenologist swears in his name.)

Phonetically, "jure en son" (swears in his) is similar to "Jurançon" (a type of wine). There is a wordplay here as we phonetically include the name of a wine in a sentence about a wine expert.

Mi madre nació 5 días después del Día de la Batalla de San Félix y mi hermana cumple años un día después de mi madre y nació en 1994, a ellas les encanta cuando les cae los sábados y domingos porque así pueden celebrar con toda la familia. ¿Dime cuantas veces les ha tocado cumplir año a las dos juntas un fin de semana?

|
My mother was born 5 days after the Battle of San Félix Day, and my sister was born one day after my mother in 1994. They love it when their birthdays fall on weekends. How many times have both their birthdays fallen on a weekend together?
|
English Reasoning: The Battle of San Félix Day is April 11. Mother's birthday is April 16, and sister's is April 17 (born in 1994). To find years when both dates fall on weekends (April 16 as Saturday and April 17 as Sunday), we check each year from 1994 to 2025. Using calendar calculations, April 16 was a Saturday in 2005, 2011, 2016 and 2022. These are the only instances where both birthdays coincided with a weekend.

Je participe à l'organisation d'un évènement musical pour la Fête de la citoyenneté en Nouvelle-Calédonie. Je n'ai que deux types de chants possibles : le selo et l'anethem. Morgane voudrait commencer en langue drehu et finir en iaai, Karl souhaiterait commencer en fagauvea et terminer en drehu et Jonathan ne veut qu'en drehu. C'est le public qui choisit et il a décidé un chant anethem puis selo. Qui parmi Morgane, Karl et Jonathan a eu ce qu'il voulait ?
|
Morgane, car le chant anethem se chante en drehu et le selo se chante en iaai ou Fagauvea.
|
I am participating in the organization of a musical event for the Citizenship Day in New Caledonia. I only have two possible types of songs: the "selo" and the "anethem". Morgane would like to start in Drehu (Austronesian language) and finish in Iaai (Austronesian language), Karl would like to start in Fagauvea (another Austronesian language) and finish in Drehu, and Jonathan only wants songs in Drehu. The audience chose "anethem" first and then "selo". Who among Morgane, Karl, and Jonathan got what they wanted?
|
Morgane. There are two types of songs possible: "selo" and "anethem". The audience chose an "anethem" followed by a "selo". In New Caledonia, the "anethem" is only performed in the Drehu language. For the "selo" song, two Kanak languages can be used: "Iaai" or "Fagauvea". Therefore, Morgane is the only one that got her choice.

我的姓氏是汉字里笔画最少的姓氏， 名字的第一个字是春秋时定都为曲阜的国家的名字，名字的第二个字论语中的第二个字，请问我叫什么？
|
一鲁曰
|
My surname is the one with the fewest strokes among Chinese surnames. The first character of my given name is the name of the country that made Qufu its capital during the Spring and Autumn period. The second character of my given name is the second character in the Analects of Confucius (论语). What is my name?
|
English Reasoning:
I need to identify three Chinese characters:
1. For the surname with fewest strokes: The character "一" (yī, meaning "one") has just 1 stroke and is used as a surname, making it the surname with the fewest strokes. Additionally, 乙 (Yǐ) also has 1 stroke and it used to be a surname in ancient China, but the the descendants changed their surnace from "乙" to "一" over time with the change of dynasties.
2. For the first character of the given name: During the Spring and Autumn period, the state that established its capital in Qufu was "鲁" (Lǔ), which was Confucius's home state.
3. For the second character of the given name: The Analects of Confucius (论语) begins with "子曰" (The Master said...), so the second character is "曰" (Yuē).
English Final Answer: The name is 一鲁曰 (yī Lǔ Yuē).

Mis ñeros y yo estamos queriendo hacer un viaje de CDMX a Puebla. Emanuel tiene 700 pelucholares, Luis tiene 2 benis, y yo tengo 8 ciegos.
El hotel nos sale en 800 la noche, y son 300 de gota al día. Nos queremos ir por 3 días.
¿Cuánto dinero los falta para acompletar?
|
$1.30
|
My friends and I want to take a trip from Mexico City (CDMX) to Puebla. Emanuel has 700 'pelucholares' (a slang term for Mexican pesos), Luis has 2 'benis' (slang for 500-peso bills), and I have 8 'ciegos' (slang for 100-peso bills). The hotel costs us 800 per night, and it's 300 for 'gota' (slang for daily expenses like food/gas) per day. We want to go for 3 days. How much money are we short to cover all costs?
|
English Reasoning:
The user and their friends want to travel from Mexico City to Puebla. For this trip, the expenses are:
* $800 for the hotel, for three nights = $2,400
* $300 for gas, for three days = $900
Total: $2,300
Considering that the user did not mention check-in or check-out times or how many nights they are staying, we'll consider three nights.
The user shares how much money they have, with each person having a different amount. Emanuel has "700 pelucholares" (slang for Mexican pesos), Luis has "2 benis" (slang for $500 bills), and the user has 8 "ciegos" (slang for $100 bills).
$700 + $1,000 + $800 = $2,000
Now, the user is asking how much more they need to pay for this trip. If they have $2,000 and the trip is $3,300. So the user's friend group is missing $1,300.
English Final Answer:
$1,300.

Tiene un sanco; pero es un charco y su número favorito es el ocho. ¿Qué es?
|
Sancocho
|
It has a "sanco" (sounds like the word "zanco" in Spanish, which are very tall shoes), but it's a puddle and its favorite number is eight (ocho in Spanish). What is it?
Sancocho is a typical Hispanic food.
|
English Reasoning: This is a riddle that relies on wordplay and metaphors common in Spanish. The clue "It has a sanco" uses the word "sanco" that phonetically is identical to "zanco" (word for very tall shoes in Spanish) is used to mislead, but also points towards the word "sancocho" (a type of stew), as it phonetically contains "sanco" (zanco). The clue "it's a puddle" ("es un charco") metaphorically describes the watery and soggy texture of the sancocho stew. And the clue "Its favorite number is eight (ocho)" also points to the word sancocho as it phonetically contains the second part of the word, "ocho" (eight).
English Final Answer: Sancocho (Spanish typical stew/soup)

I am 20 years old in 2025.
My grandfather is one "jiazi" (a 60-year cycle) older than me.
My father had a child at the same age that my grandfather was when he had a child.
My grandparents said my father was lucky, because he had a “holding gold bricks” marriage, which means his wife is three years older than him.
My grandmother and my mother share the same Chinese zodiac sign.
My grandmother is younger than my grandfather, but by no more than five years.
In what year was my grandmother born?
|
English Reasoning:
1. You are 20 years old in 2025, so your birth year is:
2025 - 20 = 2005
2. Your grandfather is one jiǎzǐ (60 years) older than you, so he was born in:
2005 - 60 = 1945
3. Let X be the age your grandfather was when he had your father.
Since your father had you at the same age, his birth year is:
1945 + X, and your birth year is also: (1945 + X) + X = 2005
Solution:
1945 + 2X = 2005
2X = 60 → X = 30
So your father was born in:
1945 + 30 = 1975
4. The phrase “抱金砖” (holding gold bricks) refers to the husband marrying a woman 3 years older.
So your mother was born in:
1975 - 3 = 1972
5. Your grandmother and mother share the same Chinese zodiac.
The Chinese zodiac cycles every 12 years. 1972 is the Year of the Rat, so your grandmother must also be born in a Rat year.
6. Grandmother is younger than your grandfather (born 1945), but by no more than 5 years, so she must have been born between:
1946 and 1950
Within that range, the only Rat year is 1948.
English Final Answer: 1948.

My friend arrived in the Alpes-Maritimes on the second day of the Violet Festival in Tourettes-sur-Loup to do some local tourism in the area. He can only stay for eight days, because he must return to Italy afterwards. Will he be able to spend International Women's Day with us in Nice this year, 2025.
|
The answer is yes. The Violet Festival in Tourettes-sur-Loup is held every year in the first weekend of March. This year, the first weekend of March was March 1 and 2. Therefore, the second day was March 2. As he can stay 8 days, he will leave March 9 or 10 (depending on inclusive or exclusive criteria). International Women's Day is on March 8 every year. So, yes, your friend will be able to spend that day with you in Nice.

Le barème de l'impôt a été revalorisé de 4.8 % en 2024 et 1.8 % en 2025. Je suis célibataire, sans enfant et j'habite et travaille en France métropolitaine. Mon revenu 2024 est de 20 000 euros et je n'ai pas opté pour les frais réels. Sans compter la décote, quel serait le montant des impôts à payer avant crédit d'impôts et arrondi à l'euro le plus proche ?
|

|
The tax scale has been increased by 4.8% in 2024 and 1.8% in 2025. I am single, without children, and I live and work in mainland France. My income for 2024 is 20,000 euros, and I have not opted for actual costs. Without counting the tax relief for low income ("décote"), what would be the amount of taxes to pay before tax credits, rounded to the nearest euro?
|
The calculation is for income earned in 2024, which will be declared and taxed in 2025. The tax scale applicable is therefore the 2025 scale.
Determine the 2025 Tax Scale (for 2024 income):
The prompt states the tax scale was revalued by 4.8% in 2024 and 1.8% in 2025. This means:
The scale for 2023 income (taxed in 2024) was derived by revaluing the previous year's scale by +4.8%.
The scale for 2024 income (taxed in 2025) is derived by revaluing the scale for 2023 income by +1.8%.
Let's start with the official 2023 tax brackets (for 2022 income, per tax part):
Up to 10,777 €: 0%
From 10,778 € to 27,478 €: 11%
From 27,479 € to 78,570 €: 30%
From 78,571 € to 168,994 €: 41%
Above 168,994 €: 45%
Revaluation by +4.8% for the 2024 scale (for 2023 income):
0% bracket upper limit: 10,777 € * 1.048 = 11,294.396 €, rounded to 11,294 €.
11% bracket upper limit: 27,478 € * 1.048 = 28,796.944 €, rounded to 28,797 €.
(Higher brackets are not needed for this income level).
Revaluation by +1.8% on these new thresholds for the 2025 scale (for 2024 income):
0% bracket upper limit: 11,294 € * 1.018 = 11,497.292 €, rounded to 11,497 €.
11% bracket upper limit: 28,797 € * 1.018 = 29,315.346 €, rounded to 29,315 €.
So, the 2025 tax scale (for 2024 income, per tax part) is:
Up to 11,497 €: 0%
From 11,498 € to 29,315 €: 11%
(Higher brackets continue but are not relevant here).
Calculate Taxable Income:
Gross income for 2024: 20,000 €.
The person is single and has no children, so they have 1 tax part.
They have not opted for actual costs ("frais réels"), so a standard 10% deduction for professional expenses applies.
Standard deduction: 10% of 20,000 € = 2,000 €.
This deduction is subject to a minimum and maximum. For 2024 income (taxed in 2025), these limits are the 2024 limits (for 2023 income) revalued by 1.8%.
Minimum deduction (2023 income): 495 €. For 2024 income: 495 € * 1.018 = 503.91 €, rounded to 504 €.
Maximum deduction (2023 income): 13,522 €. For 2024 income: 13,522 € * 1.018 = 13,765.396 €, rounded to 13,765 €.
The calculated deduction of 2,000 € is between 504 € and 13,765 €, so it is applicable.
Taxable income = Gross income - Standard deduction = 20,000 € - 2,000 € = 18,000 €.
Apply the Tax Scale to Taxable Income:
Taxable income = 18,000 €.
Number of tax parts = 1. Income per part = 18,000 € / 1 = 18,000 €.
First bracket (0%): Income up to 11,497 €.
Tax = 11,497 € * 0% = 0 €.
Second bracket (11%): Income from 11,498 € to 29,315 €.
The portion of income falling into this bracket is: 18,000 € - 11,497 € = 6,503 €.
Tax = 6,503 € * 11% = 6,503 € * 0.11 = 715.33 €.
The taxable income (18,000 €) does not exceed the upper limit of the 11% bracket (29,315 €).
Calculate Total Gross Tax:
Total gross tax = Tax from 0% bracket + Tax from 11% bracket
Total gross tax = 0 € + 715.33 € = 715.33 €.
This amount is before the "décote" (tax relief for low income) and any tax credits, as requested.
The amount of tax payable, before the "décote" (tax relief for low income) and tax credits, would be 715.33 euros. Rounded to the nearest euro it's 715 euros.

Estoy en el despacho de contaduría de mi padre y encontré documentos que describen el plan de construcción de uno de los primeros fraccionamientos en España.
El documento detalla diversas medidas, pero utiliza el antiguo sistema español.
Además, como se planeaba implementar en distintas provincias, esta cuenta con diversas unidades.
¿Cuántas hectáreas en total mide el fraccionamiento?
El documento especifica estas mediciones:
1. El área residencial en la zona de Palencia se compondrá de 75 obradas de tierra.
2. Las áreas verdes en la zona de Segovia tendrán una dimensión de 200 obradas de tierra.
3. El área designada a la construcción de caminos y sitios de interés en Terragona tendrá un área de 250 canas del rey.
4. Se dispondrá de un espacio nivelado para futuras construcciones de 150 aranzadas de viña en Sevilla.

I'm in my father's accounting office and I found documents describing the construction plan for one of the first housing developments in Spain. The document details various measurements, but uses the old Spanish system. Furthermore, as it was planned to be implemented in different provinces, it has various units. How many hectares in total does the housing development measure?
The document specifies these measurements:
1. The residential area in the Palencia zone will consist of 75 "obradas" (old Spanish unit of land) of land.
2. The green areas in the Segovia zone will have a dimension of 200 "obradas" (old Spanish unit of land) of land.
3. The area designated for the construction of roads and sites of interest in Tarragona will have an area of 250 "canas del rey" (old Spanish unit of land).
4. There will be a leveled space for future constructions of 150 "aranzadas de viña" (old Spanish unit of land) in Seville.
|
English Reasoning: To determine the total area of the housing development in hectares, we need to convert each specified measurement from its old Spanish unit to hectares and then sum them up. 1 hectare = 10,000 square meters (m²).
Residential area in Palencia (75 obradas):
The "obrada" was a unit of land area common to many provinces. For Palencia, the obrada is equivalent to 5383.18 m².
Conversion factor: 1 obrada = 5383.18 m² = 0.538318 hectares.
Area 1 = 75 obradas * 0.538318 ha/obrada = 40.37385 ha.
Green areas in Segovia (200 obradas):
The "obrada" had another value in Segovia: 1 obrada = 3930.3966 m² = 0.39303966 hectares.
Area 2 = 200 obradas * 0.39303966 ha/obrada = 78.607932 ha.
Roads and sites of interest in Tarragona (250 canas del rey):
"Cana del rey" or jornal in Tarragona was equivalent to 6084 m².
Conversion factor: 1 cana del rey = 6084 m² = 0.6084 hectares.
Area 3 = 250 canas del rey * 0.6084 ha/cana del rey = 152.1000 ha.
Future constructions in Seville (150 aranzadas de viña):
The "aranzada" varied by region. The "aranzada de viña" in Seville was equivalent to 4755.7799 m².
Conversion factor: 1 aranzada de viña = 4755.7799 m² = 0.47557799 hectares.
Area 4 = 150 aranzadas * 0.47557799 ha/aranzada = 71.3366985 ha.
Total Area:
Summing all calculated areas:
Total Area = Area 1 + Area 2 + Area 3 + Area 4
Total Area = 40.37385 ha + 78.607932 ha + 152.1000 ha + 71.3366985 ha
Total Area = 342.41848 ha.
Rounding to one decimal places for the final answer of 342.4 ha.
English Final Answer: 342.4 ha.

Alors, avec mes collègues AED, on rigolait récemment en se demandant combien de temps, en moyenne, on a passé à faire des études après le BAC avant de finir dans un job qui nous passionne vraiment... mais qui, au final, ne demande pas d'études supérieures !
Voici ce que nous avons fait après avoir eu notre BAC :
* 3 d'entre nous sont allés en L3 (dont 1 qui a doublé sa L1).
* 2 jusqu'en M2.
* 1 n'a fait que la moitié d'un BP.
* 1 a fait un BTS prothésiste orthésiste.
* 1 a fait une MC.
* 1 a suivit des études pour obtenir un DNMADE mais n'a fait que 2/3 du parcours.
* 1 s'est arrêté au BAC.
Alors, combien de temps en moyenne nous avons passés à étudier après avoir eu notre BAC ?
|
2,7 années en moyenne (2 ans et 8 mois).
|
So, with my AED colleagues (educational assistants), we were recently laughing when we wondered how much time, on average, we spent studying after high school before ending up in a job we truly love... but which, in the end, doesn't require higher education!
Here's what we did after getting our high school diploma (BAC):
* 3 of us went to L3 (Bacherlor's), including 1 who repeated their first year.
* 2 went up to M2 (Master's).
* 1 only did half of a BP (Vocational Training Certificate).
* 1 did a BTS (Technical degree) in prosthetics and orthotics.
* 1 did an MC (Complementary Mention - a further vocational qualification).
* 1 pursued studies for a DNMADE (National Diploma in Art and Design Professions) but only completed 2/3 of the program.
* 1 stopped at the BAC.
So, how much time on average did we spend studying after getting our BAC?
|
The average time spent studying after the BAC is 2.7 years (2 years and 8 months). A BAC is a high school diploma, and the levels given in the prompt are diplomas or levels of study specific to France.
- L3 (Licence 3) is 3 years post-BAC. One person repeated L1, adding 1 extra year. Total for this group: 2 people × 3 years = 6, 1 person × 4 years = 4 → Total = 10 years.
- M2 (Master 2) : Requires 5 years total (3 for Licence + 2 for Master). 2 people × 5 = 10 years.
- Half a BP: BP (Brevet Professionel) is 2 years; half = 1 year.
- BTS is usually 2 years, but BTS in prosthetics and orthotics (BTS Prothésiste Orthésiste) in France is one of the few BTS courses to take place over three years, rather than the usual two : 3 years.
- MC (Mention Complémentaire) : 1 year.
- DNMADE : 3 years; 2/3 = 2 years.
- Stopped at BAC: 0 years.
Total years = 10 + 10 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 0 = 27 years.
Total people = 10.
Average = 27 ÷ 10 = 2.7 years.

Le comenté a un amigo que estaba teniendo problemas con goteras en casa, las cuales no podía arreglar porque no tenía dinero. Me preocupaba porque dentro de poco invitaría a alguien a mi casa y no quería quedar mal. Al final decidí arriesgarme e invitarla. Mi amigo me dijo que no me preocupase, que él invitó a una conocida a cara de piedra cuando todavía estaba remodelando el living. Yo le dije que se la había rifado por haber hecho eso. Me contestó con un "¿Che, y por casa cómo andamos?" a lo que le respondí que con goteras. Se me quedó mirando un largo rato y murmuró algo de que el agua no subía el agua al tanque aparentemente. ¿Por qué me dijo eso?

I told a friend that I was having problems with leaks in my house, which I couldn't fix because I didn't have money. I was worried because I would soon invite someone to my house and didn't want to make a bad impression. In the end, I decided to take the risk and invite her. My friend told me not to worry, that he had shamelessly (cara de piedra) invited an acquaintance when he was still remodeling his living room. I told him that he had really taken a chance (se la había rifado) by doing that, He responded with "Hey, and how is it going at home?" (Che, y por casa cómo andamos?) To which I replied "with leaks." He stared at me for a long time and mumbled something about the water apparently not going up to the tank. Why did he say that?
|
English Reasoning: To understand why the friend mumbled something about "the water apparently not going up to the tank" we need to analyze the context. The friend and the user went through a similar experience. The friend told the user that he invited someone to his house "a cara de piedra" (stone face) which is an Argentinean expression of doing something embarrassing without feeling any kind of shame. The user judged him for taking such a risk by saying "se la había rifado" which is another Argentinean expression, that comes from the word "rifa" (lottery ticket). However, since the user had taken the same risk, the friend used the phrase "¿Ché, y por casa cómo andamos?" (Hey, and how is it going at home?") which is another colloquial expression. It refers that someone look at his own actions (his "house") before judging others. He said that because the user judged his friends actions as risky when he just did the same thing as him. However, the user took that question literally, and mentioned the leaks again, failing to understand that it was a question with a figurative meaning. The mumbling about the water not going up to the tank is a reference to another Argentinean phrase, "no le sube agua al tanque," (the water does not go up to his tank), that is used when someone is not smart enough to understand something simple. This is a metaphor in which the water is the blood and the tank is the brain. It means that the brain does not enough blood to function properly. The friend not understanding the question made the friend use that phrase.
English Final Answer: The user misunderstood the question.

Voy a ir a entrenar, pero no sé si en bus o en coche. ¿Cómo voy a ir? Ya te lo he dicho.
|
Tren
|
I'm going to train (entrenar), but I don't know if I'm going by bus or by car. How am I going to get there? I already told you.
In Spanish, by train is said "en tren".
|
English Reasoning: The prompt mentions the options of traveling by plane or by car to go work out, but asks what transportation option is not being considered. Given the context and phrasing ("ir a entrenar" going to train/work out), the most common missed main transportation method would be the train (tren), especially as it is a wordplay with "entrenar" (to train) and "en tren" (by train) in Spanish.
English Final Answer: Train (In Spanish tren).

Je suis l'unique actionnaire physique d'une société de droit français qui réalise 5 millions d'euros de chiffre d'affaires en France. J'ai perdu des ronds en 2023 : 1.8 million d'euros. J'ai choisi de faire un report en avant. En 2024, je me suis serré la ceinture et j'ai fait un résultat excédentaire de 1.2 million d'euros. Si en 2025, le même régime fiscal que 2024 s'applique et que ma société réalise 1 million d'euros de bénéfice, quel sera le montant de l'impôt sur les sociétés que je vais devoir aligner ? Le calcul ne prendra pas compte de crédit d'impôts et sera arrondi à la centaine d'euros supérieure.

I am the sole individual shareholder of a French company that has a turnover of 5 million euros in France. I lost money in 2023: 1.8 million euros. I chose to carry forward this loss. In 2024, I tightened my belt and made a profit of 1.2 million euros. If in 2025, the same tax regime as 2024 applies and my company makes 1 million euros in profit, what will be the amount of corporate tax I will have to pay? The calculation will not take into account tax credits and will be rounded up to the nearest hundred euros.
|
Linguistic specificities : "Perdre des ronds" means to lose money, "se serrer la ceinture" means to tighten the belt which is to make some efforts to have less expenses and "aligner" means to pay.
Cultural specificities : corporate taxes in France : 15% on the first €42,500 of taxable profit, 25% on the taxable profit exceeding €42,500 for companies with a turnover of less than 10 millions euros. Also, the possibility and the calculation to carry forward losses of a previous year.
The calculation involves several steps:
1. Determine the loss carried forward from 2023 to 2024:
o Loss in 2023: €1,800,000.
2. Calculate the use of loss carry-forward in 2024 and the remaining loss:
o Profit in 2024: €1,200,000.
o French tax law allows losses to be carried forward and offset against future profits. The amount of loss that can be offset in a given year is limited to €1 million plus 50% of the profit exceeding €1 million.
o Maximum loss offset in 2024 = €1,000,000 + 50% * (€1,200,000 - €1,000,000)
= €1,000,000 + 50% * €200,000
= €1,000,000 + €100,000 = €1,100,000.
o The available loss (€1,800,000) is greater than the maximum allowable offset (€1,100,000). So, €1,100,000 of the loss is used in 2024.
o Taxable income for 2024 = €1,200,000 (profit) - €1,100,000 (loss offset) = €100,000.
o Remaining loss to carry forward to 2025 = €1,800,000 (initial loss) - €1,100,000 (used in 2024) = €700,000.
3. Calculate the taxable income for 2025:
o Profit in 2025: €1,000,000.
o Remaining loss available: €700,000.
o Maximum loss offset in 2025: Since the profit is €1,000,000 (which does not exceed €1,000,000), the 50% rule on the excess does not apply. The limit is therefore €1,000,000.
o The actual loss that can be used is the minimum of the available loss (€700,000) and the maximum allowable offset (€1,000,000). So, €700,000 of loss is used.
o Taxable income for 2025 = €1,000,000 (profit) - €700,000 (loss offset) = €300,000.
4. Calculate the corporate income tax for 2025:
o The company has a turnover of €5 million (less than €10 million) and is owned by a sole individual shareholder. Assuming the capital is fully paid up, it qualifies for the reduced corporate income tax rate for SMEs.
o The tax rates are: 15% on the first €42,500 of taxable profit and 25% on the taxable profit exceeding €42,500.
o Tax on the first €42,500 = €42,500 * 0.15 = €6,375.
o Remaining taxable income = €300,000 - €42,500 = €257,500.
o Tax on the remaining income = €257,500 * 0.25 = €64,375.
o Total corporate income tax for 2025 = €6,375 + €64,375 = €70,750.
5. Round up to the nearest hundred euros:
o €70,750 rounded up to the nearest hundred euros is €70,800.
The amount of corporate income tax to be paid for 2025 will be €70,800 (nearest hundred euros).

Reasoning English: There will be a lunch at work, and each person has to bring a traditional dish. The clues will help us figure out who is bringing what.
Alonso: "He always chooses it for breakfast or lunch, no excuses." Tamalitos Verdes, made from corn and cilantro, are commonly served both at breakfast and lunch in many parts of Peru. Alonso will bring the Tamalitos Verdes.
Juan: "Tuna or chicken, it’s always the same kind of roll." This clue refers to Causa Limeña, a traditional Peruvian dish made with layers of seasoned mashed potatoes and typically filled with tuna or chicken. Juan will bring the Causa Limeña.
Mayra: "From the volcano to the office, it arrives with cheese." The reference to a volcano suggests Arequipa, a region famous for the Misti volcano. The typical dish from Arequipa is Rocoto Relleno, a spicy stuffed pepper often topped with melted cheese.Mayra will bring the Rocoto Relleno.
Milagros: "Green and gold—the colors of something savory." This describes Tacacho con Cecina, a dish made from green plantains (green) that are fried to a golden color and served with salted, smoked pork. Milagros will bring the Tacacho con Cecina.
Final Answer:
-Alonso:Tamalitos Verdes, Juan: Causa Limeña, Mayra: Rocoto Relleno, Milagros:Tacacho con Cecina.
