S'il te plaît, explique-moi ce jeu de mots :
Les hauts revenus sont souvent les gens qu'on paie tant.
|
Phonétiquement, "qu'on paie tant" est similaire à "compétents". Il est insinué que les personnes compétentes sont bien rémunérées.
|
High-income earners are often the people we pay so much ("qu'on paie tant").
|
Phonetically, "qu'on paie tant" (that we pay so much) sounds the same as "compétents" (qualified). The wordplay implies that qualified people are well-paid.

Li Yun belongs to the Planning Department and is currently in the office. Among the four people, there are the Boss, the Sales Department Manager, the Planning Department Manager, and an intern. There are two females and two males. Please determine the respective identities and genders of the four people based on the clues below.
Huang Xing: "Xiao Yun, please report on your department's work this year. If you do well, I'll assign you a male partner; pairing up makes work less tiring, ha."
Liu Yu: "Mr./Ms. Li (Li Zong), the report materials have been placed on each leader's desk."
Wu Xiu: "Yun Zong (Manager Yun), I think the format of your material is very good. Our department should also try it this way."
Li Yun: "Xiao Liu, your tie looks good today, better than yesterday."
Wu Xiu wants to apply to Huang Zong (Manager Huang) for a partner of the same gender, as it's more convenient for business trips. During the meeting, Wu Xiu thought, "This Xiao Liu has great potential, maybe I can use him in the future."
|
English Reasoning:
From clue 1, Huang Xing addresses Li Yun and offers her a male partner, so Huang Xing must be the boss and Li Yun is female.
In clue 2, Liu Yu calls Li Yun “Director Li,” so Li Yun is the Planning Department Manager; Liu Yu must be a subordinate—hence the intern.
In clue 3, Wu Xiu also addresses Li Yun as “Director Yun” and refers to “our department,” so Wu Xiu is the Sales Department Manager.
Clue 4 has Li Yun complimenting Liu Yu’s tie, proving Liu Yu is male.
Clue 5 shows Wu Xiu wants a same-gender partner and eyes “Xiao Liu” (male), so Wu Xiu is male as well.
Thus the two men are Liu Yu (intern) and Wu Xiu (sales manager), and the two women are Li Yun (planning manager) and Huang Xing (boss).
English Final Answer:
Huang Xing – Female, Boss
Li Yun – Female, Planning Department Manager
Wu Xiu – Male, Sales Department Manager
Liu Yu – Male, Intern

Si contamos la cantidad de letras "e" que hay en los nombres de los días de la semana y, a ese número, le sumas los días que duró la feria de Santa Rita 2024 en Chihuahua, ¿qué número resulta?
|
26
|
If we count the number of letter "e"s contained in the names of the days of the week, and then add to that number the days that the Chihuahua 2024 Santa Rita Fair lasted, what number do we get?
|
English Reasoning:
First, we need to count the occurrences of the letter "e" in the Spanish names of the days of the week:
"Lunes" (Monday): 1 "e"
"Martes" (Tuesday): 1 "e"
"Miércoles" (Wednesday): 2 "e"s
"Jueves" (Thursday): 2 "e"s
"Viernes" (Friday: 2 "e"s
"Sábado" (Saturday): 0 "e"s
"Domingo" (Sunday): 0 "e"s
The total number of "e"s is 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 0 + 0 = 8.
Next, we need to find out how many days the Santa Rita 2024 fair in Chihuahua lasted. The fair was held from May 2nd to May 19th, 2024.
To calculate the duration: (Last day - First day) + 1 = (19–2) + 1 = 17 + 1 = 18 days.
Finally, we sum these two numbers: 8 (number of "e"s) + 18 (duration of the fair) = 26.
English Final Answer: 26

Passant à la saline de Salins-les-Bains, j'ai été passionnée par cette histoire que je ne connaissais pas sur la production de sel. Moi qui fais de la vannerie, j'ai beaucoup regardé les bénates, me demandant si je parviendrais à recréer ces paniers solides qui transportaient les salignons. Combien de salignons portaient les bénatiers qui balançaient une bénatte sur chacune de leurs épaules ?
|
24
|
While visiting the Salins-les-Bains saltworks, I was fascinated by the history of salt production, which I hadn’t known about. As a basket weaver, I closely examined the 'bénates', wondering if I could recreate these sturdy baskets used to transport 'salignons' (salt blocks). How many salignons did the 'bénatiers' carry when they swung a bénate on each shoulder?
|
24. The 'bénates' contained 12 'salignons' or 'saltbreads' (this was so important that it became a measure unit: people said 'a benate' to speak about 12 saltbreads). So, if the 'bénatier' carried one 'bénate' on each shoulder, he typically carried 24 'salignons' (2x12 salignons).

Prompt Translation to English: My girlfriend and I are planning to get married, so this Chinese New Year I accompanied her back to her hometown in Chengdu to meet her parents. Since we will be family soon, I decided to follow my girlfriend's way of addressing her parents, calling them "Dad" and "Mom". The next day, a distant elderly relative of hers came to her house to catch up with her parents. My girlfriend said she had never seen her before and didn't know how to address this elder. We learned that this elder is the sister of the wife of her father's brother. According to Sichuan dialect, how should I address her?
|
English Reasoning:
First, we know that the user wants to know how to politely address a relative from his girlfriend’s side, treating her as family. The relative is the sister of his girlfriend’s paternal uncle’s wife.
From here, we can identify the core relationship (from girlfriend's perspective): Girlfriend's Father -> Father's Brother (Paternal Uncle) -> Uncle's Wife (Paternal Aunt-in-law) -> Aunt-in-law's Sister. So, this women is in the same generation as the girlfriend’s parents and paternal uncle. Since the girlfriend doesn’t know her personally, it’s a distant relationship. The user is meeting her for the first time and wants to be polite in a Sichuan context.
According to given context, the girlfriend doesn't know her, indicating a distant relationship. The user is meeting her for the first time and wants to be polite and culturally appropriate within the Sichuan context.
In Sichuan dialect, "Niangniang" (嬢嬢) is an appropriate and respectful term used in place of the standard Mandarin term "Ayi" (阿姨) for addressing women of the parental generation.
English Final Answer: "Niangniang" (嬢嬢).

Tengo varias amigas, todas están pasando por diferentes situaciones.
-Mi pobre amiga Karina se acaba de separar de su esposo, el divorcio la ha dejado con algunas deudas.
-Mi amiga rica, Fernanda, se acaba de casar con un hombre muy bueno.
-Por otro lado, está mi amiga Rosalía, ella dice que está rica, nos hace reír muchísimo.
-También tenemos a mi amiga Lucia, que es una pobre estudiante de Derecho, le ha costado mucho terminar su carrera.
-Mi amiga Jésica, es una artista pobre, pero disfruta mucho lo que hace.
-Mi pobre amiga, Ana, acaba de perder a su madre.
-Mi amiga pobre, Liliana, también es una gran artista.
¿Cuáles son las amigas con menor estatus social?
|
Jésica y Liliana
|
I have several friends, all going through different situations.
-My "poor" ("pobre" term used for compassion) friend Karina has just separated from her husband; the divorce has left her with some debts.
-My rich friend, Fernanda, has just married a very good man.
-On the other hand, there's my friend Rosalía, she says she's "rica" (meaning she feels great), and she makes us laugh a lot.
-We also have my friend Lucia, who is a "poor" ("pobre" term used for compassion) law student; it has been hard for her to finish her degree.
-My friend Jésica is a "poor" ("pobre" term used to describe social status) artist, but she really enjoys what she does.
-My "poor" ("pobre" term used for compassion) friend, Ana, has just lost her mother.
-My "poor" ("pobre" term used to describe social status) friend, Liliana, is also a great artist.
Which friends have the lower social status?
|
English Reasoning:
In Spanish, the word "pobre" (poor) can mean two different things, depending on how it is used:
1. It can express compassion or empathy, like saying "poor thing" in English.
2. It can describe someone's economic or social status, like saying someone is poor or low-income.
Let's look at some examples from a group of friends:
• "Mi pobre amiga Karina" (My poor friend Karina)
This means we feel sorry for Karina, probably because she's going through something difficult (like divorce), but it doesn't necessarily mean she is financially poor.
• "Mi pobre amiga Ana" (My poor friend Ana)
Again, this is emotional sympathy, Ana just lost her mother.
• "Mi pobre amiga Lucía, estudiante de derecho" (My poor friend Lucia, a law student)
This could suggest she's struggling or working hard, but the focus is not necessarily on social class, it's more about empathy.
But now compare that to:
• "Mi amiga Jésica, es una artista pobre" (My friend Jésica is a poor artist).
• "Mi amiga pobre, Liliana, también es una gran artista" (My poor friend Liliana is also a great artist).
In these two cases, "pobre" (poor) is used to directly describe their social or economic status. It's not about feeling sorry for them, it's stating that they are artists who are financially poor or belong to a lower social class. That's the key difference.
English Final Answer: Jésica and Liliana.

Este verano fui a una bodega en La Rioja y me sorprendió la forma que tenían para medir el vino que les quedaba para degustar. De un vino de 10 años les quedaban 2 cuartillos, de otro de 5 años tenían 3 envases con 3 cuartillos cada uno y de uno de 15 años le quedaba 1 cuartillo. ¿Cuántos litros les quedaban en total?
|
6.048 litros.
|
This summer I went to a winery in La Rioja, and I was surprised by the way they measured the wine they had left for tasting. From a 10-year-old wine, they had 2 "cuartillos" (old Spanish measure of wine) left, from another 5-year-old one they had 3 containers with 3 "cuartillos" (old Spanish measure of wine) each, and from 15-years-old one they had 1 "cuartillo" (old Spanish measure of wine) left. How many liters did they have left in total?
|
English reasoning: To solve this problem, I need to find the total amount of wine in "cuartillos" and then convert to liters.
First, let me calculate the total cuartillos.
• 10-years-old wine: 2 "cuartillos".
• 5-years-old wine: 3 containers × 3 "cuartillos"= 9 "cuartillos".
• 15-years-old wine: 1 "cuartillo".
• Total: 2+9+1=12 "cuartillos".
Now I need to convert "cuartillos"to liters. A "cuartillo" is an old Spanish unit of measurement used to measure the capacity of wine. 1 "cuartillo" equals 0.504 liters.
Therefore:
• 12 "cuartillos"×0.504 liters/cuartillo = 6.048 liters.
English Final Answer: 6.048 liters

My dad loves watching period dramas and often uses scenes from them to quiz me on traditional culture. He just finished a series where the two main protagonists each have different identities. Protagonist one is often involved in transporting northern goods south or southern goods north. Being astute, he became extremely wealthy in a few years and does not like to wield swords and guns,. Protagonist two performs on the streets, often making the audience roar with laughter with his words; his representative work is 'The Eight Great Career Changes.' My dad's question is: If these two were to have deity statues in their homes, which real historical figures should they respectively worship? This question stumped me, please help me answer it.
|
English Reason:
1. Protagonist 1: A wealthy businessman who transports goods from the north to the south/from the south to the north
Professional characteristics: businessman, especially long-distance traffickers, good at business, and accumulating wealth.
Worship object: In traditional Chinese culture, the most common worship object for merchants is the God of Wealth. There are many gods of wealth, but if you want to find a real historical figure who is highly consistent with the image of a "shrewd" and "rich" businessman, then the most suitable one should be:
Fan Li (范蠡): A doctor of the State of Yue in the late Spring and Autumn Period, who assisted Gou Jian in destroying Wu. He "earned thousands of gold three times and distributed his wealth three times", and was revered as the "business saint" by later generations, and was also considered one of the civil gods of wealth. His business wisdom and successful deeds are very consistent with the setting of this protagonist.
Guan Yu (关羽): Although he is a military commander, Guan Gong is also revered as a patron saint and god of wealth by many merchants (especially Shanxi merchants) because of his "loyalty, righteousness and integrity", and he emphasizes "righteousness brings wealth". However, given that the protagonist "does not like to wield swords and guns", Fan Li's image of "civil god of wealth" may be more appropriate.
Conclusion: The protagonist one is most likely to worship Fan Li (范蠡).
Protagonist 2: A crosstalk artist who performs on the street
Professional characteristics: A street Xiangsheng (相声) artist who entertains the audience with his eloquence ("one mouth"), and his representative work is "Eight Changes" (this is a very typical traditional Xiangsheng piece).
Object of worship: The folk art (including xiangsheng (相声), pingshu (评书), kuaiban (快板), etc.) has its specific ancestors.
Dongfang Shuo (东方朔): A writer in the Western Han Dynasty, famous for his humor, wisdom, and poetry. He was quick-witted, eloquent, and could often make the emperor laugh. Later generations of crosstalk artists, storytellers, and others that "make a living by speaking" mostly worship Dongfang Shuo as their ancestor. He won the emperor's appreciation with his mouth, which is highly consistent with the characteristics of the second protagonist "making the audience laugh with his mouth".
Conclusion: The second protagonist is most likely to worship Dongfang Shuo.
English Final Answer:
Protagonist 1 (the merchant) should most appropriately worship Fan Li (范蠡).
Protagonist 2 (the street xiangsheng performer/comedian) should most appropriately worship Dongfang Shuo (东方朔).

Four people, A, B, C, and D, are playing Mahjong, each sitting with their back to one of the directions: East, South, West, or North. Please deduce from the dialogue which direction (East, South, West, North) each person is in.
A urges someone: "Hey, person opposite me, everyone's waiting for you, hurry up and play."
B chimes in with A: "Exactly, I'm your shangjia (previous player), look how fast I played."
D, disagreeing with A and B targeting the same person, replies: "Take your time, [he is] old. I, as his xiajia (next player), can wait, why are you two in such a hurry?"
C finally says: "Southerners are indeed polite, he knows how to respect the elderly. It must be you (D) sitting in the South."
|
English Reasoning:
From C's last statement, "Only person from the south is polite, know how to respect the elderly, and it's you sitting in the south", it can be inferred that D, who is being referred to as respecting the elderly, is sitting in the south.
From the fact that A and B are urging the same person, but D is not in a hurry, it can be seen that C is the elder and plays cards slowly.
D claims that he can wait for the next player, which means he can tolerate the previous player playing cards slowly, which means that D's card-playing order is after C.
Since A is urging the person opposite him, that is, the person who is slow, A and C sit opposite each other.
The rule of Mahjong is to play cards counterclockwise. D is in the south, and C, as D's previous player, is in the west. A is opposite C, that is, in the east. Finally, only B is left in the north.
And D generates that A and B are targeting the same person. A is urging the elder, so B's words are also addressed to the elder, and it is mentioned that B is the elder's previous player, that is, B is C's previous player. The order of the previous reasoning is met.
English Final Answer:
A: East
B: North
C: West
D: South

El año pasado fui de visita a la capital del municipio Bolívar, estado Aragua. Me comentaron que celebran su santa patrona por todo lo alto y me invitaron a que asistiera este año, 2025. Quisiera llegar un día antes para más comodidad. ¿Qué día llegaría a la ciudad?

Last year I visited the capital of the Bolívar municipality, Aragua State. They told me that they celebrate their patron saint in a big way and invited me to attend this year, 2025. I would like to arrive a day earlier for more comfort. What day would I arrive in the city?
|
English Reasoning: To determine the arrival date, we need to identify the patron saint's celebration date in the capital of Bolívar municipality, Aragua State.
1. The capital of Bolívar municipality in Aragua State is San Mateo.
2. The patron saint of San Mateo, Aragua, is "Nuestra Señora de Belén" (Our Lady of Belen).
3. The feast day of Nuestra Señora de Belén is celebrated annually on November 26th. This is a well-known date for this specific celebration in San Mateo.
4. The user wants to arrive one day before the celebration in the year 2025.
5. Therefore, one day before November 26th is November 25th.
English Final Answer: November 25th (in Spanish, "25 de noviembre").

Todos los años conmemoramos el Día de la Memoria por la Verdad y la Justicia, ya que mi abuela fue secuestrada por la dictadura militar el mismo día que la Selección Argentina se consagró campeona del mundo, mientras ella estaba embarazada de 4 meses exactos. Suponemos que tuvo al bebe en cautiverio y fue vendido como muchos otros casos ¿Qué edad tendría hoy mi tío o tía?
|
46 años
|
Every year, we commemorate the "Día de la Memoria por la Verdad y Justicia" (Day of Memory for Truth and Justice), since my grandmother was kidnapped by the military dictatorship on the same day that the Argentine national team became world champion, while she was exactly 4 months pregnant. We assume that she gave birth in captivity, and the baby was sold, as in many other cases. How old would my uncle or aunt be today?
|
English Reasoning:
The age will be calculated.
Date of the kidnapping: It is mentioned that it happened the same day Argentina won the World Cup, during the civic-military dictatorship (1976-1983). Argentina won the World Cup on June 25, 1978.
Pregnancy status: The user's grandmother was exactly 4 months pregnant on that date.
Estimated birth date: A normal pregnancy lasts about 9 months. If 5 months of gestation were missing (9 months - 4 months = 5 months), the estimated birth date would be around 5 months after June 25, 1978 (June + 5 months = November). The estimated birth date would most likely be in November, with a lower probability in October and with a minimal chance in September 1978.
Current age calculation: If born between September and November 1978, the age would be 46 by November 2024 (2024 - 1978 = 46 years).
Since November 2025 has not yet arrived, the current age would be 46 years.
So, the user's uncle or aunt would be 46 years old today and would turn 47 at the end of November this year (2025).
English Final Response: 46 years.

Je suis professeur et j'habite à Châteauroux. J'aimerais participer à trois festivals de musique en 2025, mais je ne sais pas si j'aurai le temps pour les trois. Le premier festival est l'Électrolapse à Saint-Saulin-en-Valoire, le deuxième est le Delta festival à Marseille et le troisième est le Paris Paradis Festival à Paris. N'oublie pas que je dois aussi retourner au travail.

Non.
|
I am a teacher living in Châteauroux. I want to attend three music festivals in 2025, but I don't know if I will have time for all three. The first festival is Électrolapse in Saint-Saulin-en-Valoire, the second is Delta Festival in Marseille, and the third one is Paris Paradis Festival in Paris. Don't forget that I also have to get back to work.
|
These are the dates of the three festivals:
Électrolapse in Saint-Saulin-en-Valloire will take place on August 22 and 23, 2025.
Delta Festival in Marseille will occur from August 27 to 31, 2025.
The festival Paris Paradis is scheduled for September 6 and 7, 2025.
Now, being a teacher in Châteauroux means you have to be back to work for the start of the school year in September. Châteauroux is in zone B of the French school calendar, which means that you have to be back to work on September 1st, 2025.
Therefore, the answer to your question is no, you can't attend the three festivals because the Paris Paradis Festival overlaps with your return to work.

Como buenas rucas, a mis amigas y a mí nos encanta la música mexicana de antaño.
Por esta razón, el nombre de nuestro club fue armado a partir de las siguientes tres frases:
Yo amo al Flaco de Oro.
A Matilda la vuelve loca El Rey.
A Jesusa, el compositor de "No sé tú".
Las siglas de nuestro "club de rucas" son las iniciales de los tres apellidos de estos personajes.
Sin embargo, para hacerlo más divertido, decidimos incorporar una regla adicional. Si la frase que utilicé para hacer referencia al personaje contiene adjetivos, la sigla debe ir en mayúscula, y si no contiene adjetivos, entonces debe ir en minúscula. Además, las siglas se presentan en el mismo orden en el que los he mencionado.
¿Cómo se llama nuestro club?
|
LJm.
|
As good old ladies ("rucas"), my friends and I love traditional Mexican music. For this reason, the name of our club was formed from the following three phrases:
I love the Golden Skinny Man ("El Flaco de Oro").
Matilda is driven crazy by The King ("El Rey").
Jesusa loves the composer of "No sé tú" (a song).
The initials of our old ladies club ("club de rucas") are the first letters of the three surnames of these characters.
However, to make it more fun, we decided to incorporate an additional rule. If the phrase I used to refer to the character contains adjectives, the initial must be in uppercase, and if it does not contain adjectives, then it must be in lowercase. Furthermore, the initials are presented in the same order in which I mentioned them.
What is our club's name?
|
English Reasoning: To determine the name of the club, we need to analyze the given phrases and identify the surnames of the characters being referred to.
1. First character identification and initial:
The phrase is 'I love the Golden Skinny Man' ("Yo amo al Flaco de Oro"). This phrase refers to Agustín Lara. In addition, the expression 'golden' ("de oro") is used to describe it, which functions as an adjectival expression. Therefore, the correct letter is "L".
2. Second character identificacion and initial:
The phrase is 'Matilda is driven crazy by The King ("A Matilda la vuelve loca El Rey"). This phrase refers to José Alfredo Jiménez. In addition, the word 'crazy' ("loca") is used to indicate a characteristic in Matilda, which is an adjective. Therefore, the correct letter is "J".
3. Third character identification and initial:
The phrase is 'Jesusa loves the composer of No sé tú' ("A Jesusa, el compositor de No sé tú"). This phrase refers to Armando Manzanero. In this case, there are no adjectives, since 'composer' ("compositor") is used as a noun. Therefore, the correct letter is "m".
By joining each letter together, we get the name of the club: LJm.

One day, four people with different identities went for a picnic by the lake: a parent, a teacher, a student, and a restaurant owner. Determine who each of the four people is and state their gender.
Huang Jing: "Ah, what should I do, I think my period (M) is here, do you have clothes to cover me up?"
Wang Xiuli: "Oh dear, Ah Jing, quick, take this piece of clothing, go quickly, do you want me to accompany you inside?"
Ding Cong: "Quick, everyone, I brought McDonald's (M记 - M Ji, slang for McDonald's), your favorite."
Luo Wen: "Wow, thank you. Hey, where's Xiao Jing? I wanted to talk to her about the report from last time."
Wang Xiuli: "Ah Jing went to the restroom. Oh my, Ah Luo, you're too hardworking, we're out for a meal, don't talk about other things, let's play cards together. Ah Jing isn't feeling well, and aren't you also [not feeling well/having your period] these days?"
Ding Cong: "Is Ah Jing okay? Should I go check on her?"
Wang Xiuli: "Ah Ding, nerver mind, it's not convenient, she's fine."
|
English Reasoning: From the conversation, I can determine genders first. Huang Jing is female (has her period). Wang Xiuli is female (understands female issues, offers help). Luo Wen is likely female too (Wang Xiuli implies she's also experiencing something similar to Jing). Ding Cong is male (Wang Xiuli stops him from checking on Jing during a feminine issue).
For their roles: Luo Wen mentions wanting to discuss "the last report" with Jing, suggesting a teacher-student relationship, with Luo being the teacher. Huang Jing seems to be the student. Ding Cong brings food (McDonald's) and seems concerned about others, fitting the restaurant owner role. Wang Xiuli appears to be older and maternal, looking after everyone, suggesting she's the parent.
English Final Answer: Huang Jing is the female student. Wang Xiuli is the female parent. Ding Cong is the male restaurant owner. Luo Wen is the female teacher.

我允许你玩谐音梗，现在回答我说的问题。我会功夫，现在我就给你来表演一段：六王毕，四海一，蜀山兀，阿房出。我会的是什么功夫？
|
阿房宫赋
|
Play with me and I allow you to play with puns. Now answer the question I am about to ask. I know Gong Fu (Kung Fu's Pinyin), and now I will perform a bit for you: "六王毕，四海一，蜀山兀，阿房出。"("The six kings are finished, the world is unified, the Shu mountains are cut off, and Epang Palace emerges.") What kind of Gong Fu do I know?
|
English Reasoning: The passage quoted comes from the famous work "Epang Gong Fu" by Du Mu, which describes the grandeur of the Epang Palace. In this context, the answer is expected to be a pun. In Chinese, "Epang Gong Fu" (阿房宫赋) sounds very much like "Epang Gong Fu" (阿房功夫), where "功夫" means "kung fu." So, the joke is that the performance is not a martial arts form, but rather the recitation of the "Fu on the Epang Palace"—thus, "Epang Palace Kung Fu" is a pun on the name of the literary work.
English Final Answer: Epang Kung Fu (a pun on "阿房宫" / Epang Palace and "功夫" / Kung Fu).

《清稗类钞》里面记载了时任礼部侍郎纪晓岚的一个小故事，一天他会见尚书和珅和御史，忽然有一只狗跑过，和珅指着狗问：“你们看看，这像狼吗？是狼是狗？”纪晓岚听了，回答说：“你们看看它的尾巴，下垂是狼，上竖是狗。”，和珅听了非常生气，为什么？

The Qingbao leichao recorded a small story of the Ministry of Rites, Ji Xiaolan. One day, he met with the Minister Heshen and the Royal Historian, and suddenly, there was a dog running past. Heshen asked Look at it, this is like a wolf? Is it a wolf or a dog? Ji Xiaolan replied Look at its tail, drooping is a wolf, up vertical is a dog. Then Heshen was very angry, but why?
Qingbao leichao is an anthology of historiographical essays from the whole Qing period. Heshen and Ji Xiaolan are both political figures in the Qing Dynasty. And in the Chinese TV series The Eloquent Ji Xiaolan, the 2 of them are portrayed as rivals in a battle of words and wits.
|
English Reasoning: In Ji Xiaolan's answer, "Upper vertical is a dog", "Upper vertical" harmonizes with "Shangshu", which is Heshen's official position; this is a retort to Heshen.
1. Background:
- Ji Xiaolan served as the Minister of Rites. He was known for his intelligence and wit, and eloquence. Heshen was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and is known for his corruption and power plays. Both men have been portrayed as rivals in both film and television, and are usually quarrelsome.
- In Chinese culture, “dog” is often used as a metaphor for insult, and is a very disrespectful word when used to insult someone. Both in daily and political situations.
2. Event:
- Heshen asked the question, "Is it a wolf or a dog?", which in colloquial Chinese is easily heard as "shì láng is a dog". This implies that Ji Xiaolan, the "Minister of Rites (pinyin: shì láng)", is a dog.
- Ji Xiaolan's response seems to be intended to judge dogs and wolves based on the state of their tails, but it is actually a retort. "Upper vertical" harmonic "Shangshu", and this is also the name of Heshen's official position, meaning "Minister of Revenue (pinyin: shàng shū)", is a dog. Ji Xiaolan cleverly passes the "dog" insult back to Heshen.
3. Skill:
- Ji Xiaolan implies that Heshen is a "dog" through harmonization and puns, revealing the dual nature of Heshen's official position and his character. This is an insult by using a play on words.
English Final Answer: "上竖是狗" is a homophone as "尚书是狗."

The ancient said a proverb, "without accumulating kuibu (small steps, means a half step in ancient Chinese), one cannot reach a thousand li (ancient Chinese unit of length)". Assuming one kuibu is 1 chi (a Chinese unit of length) in the modern Chinese unit of length, then how many full steps are needed to walk a thousand li (a Chinese unit of length, here the "li" specifically refers to the the unit of length used in the dynasty of that proverb appeared)? The steps counted in wan (wan in Chinese means 10 thousands).
|
English Reasoning: 1 chi in modern Chinese unit of length is 33.33 cm. One kuibu means a half step, which is 1 chi, then a full step is 2 chi, which is 66.66 cm. This proverb "Without accumulating kuibu, one cannot reach a thousand li" appeared in the Warring States period (475 - 221 BC), when a li means 415.8 meters. So a thousand li means 415,800 meters. 415,800 meters over 0.6666 meter (a full step) is about 623,762 steps, counted in 10 thousands, it should be about 62.38 wan steps.
English Final Answer: 62.38 wan steps.

Mi abuelo ha sembrado mucho trigo y calcula muy bien superficies. El otro día lo llevé a ver un partido de fútbol al Camp Nou y me dijo que el terreno de juego tenía 13 celemines, cuartillo arriba, cuartillo abajo. ¿Cuántos cuartillos se ha equivocado? Dame la respuesta con dos decimales y toma la expresión más aproximada con dos decimales de la superficie de un celemín.

Prompt Translation to English: My grandfather has sown a lot of wheat and calculates surfaces very well. The other day I took him to watch a football match at Camp Nou, and told me that the playing field was 13 'celemines' (old Spanish area measure unit), 'cuartillo arriba, cuartillo abajo' (this expression means approximately). How many 'cuartillos' (old Spanish area measure unit) was he mistaken by? Provide the answer with two decimal places, and use the most accurate two-decimal approximation for the surface area of one celemín.
|
English Reasoning: Camp Nou has a playing field that is 105 meters long and 68 meters wide, then, its area is 105 * 68 = 7140 m^2.
The most approximate expression of the area of a 'celemín' with two decimals is 536.63 square meters.
A 'cuartillo' is a quarter of a 'celemín'.
Then, the playing field has a total amount of celemines of 7140/536.63 = 13.3052 celemines. That is 0.3052 celemines over the grandfather's estimation.
Since a cuartillo is 0.25 celemines, the total amount of cuartillos is 0.3052/0.25 = 1.22 cuartillos
English Final Answer: 1.22.

Prompt Translation to English:
My company strictly adheres to national statutory holidays. It is known that: today is more than 11 days after the day I went for tomb-sweeping (Qingming Festival); three days later is the third Saturday of this month; this year is colloquially called a "widow year." Based on these clues, can you calculate how many weeks remain until the next New Year's Day?
|
English Reasoning:
1. First, we know that tomb-sweeping (Qingming Festival): Qingming in 2024 fell on April 4. "Today" is more than 11 days after this date, placing "today" no earlier than April 16 (April 4 + 12 days).
2. Third Saturday of the month: If three days later is the third Saturday, then "today" is a Wednesday. For April 2024:
The third Saturday is April 20. Subtracting 3 days gives "today" as April 17 (Wednesday).
3. Widow year: 2024 is a "widow year" (no立春 in its lunar calendar), confirming the year.
4. Time to next New Year's Day (January 1, 2025): From April 17, 2024, to January 1, 2025, there are 259 days. Dividing by 7: 259 ÷ 7 = 37 weeks.

森林里的动物们在进行呼吸，为什么只有羊死了？
|
因为羊没吐气（扬眉吐气）
|
The animals in the forest are breathing, so why is it that only the sheep died?
|
English Reasoning: Chengyu is a type of traditional Chinese Idiom to express fact or principle concisely, usually it has four Chinese characters. However, because many Chinese characters have the same pronunciation, so some idioms could be misheard to mean something else and "扬眉吐气" is one of them. "扬眉" means "raise eyebrows" and "吐气" means "exhale air", but it imply "exhale depressed air" here, so the original mean of "扬眉吐气" is that describes the feeling of relief after being freed from long-term depression.
However, "扬" and "羊" are homophonic, while "眉" and "没" are homophonic, so "扬眉吐气" can be misheard as "羊没吐气". "羊" means "sheeps" and "没" means "don't". Hence, "羊没吐气" means "Sheeps don't exhale air, which imply the sheep stop breathing and that is why all the animals in the forest are breathing, only the sheep are dead.
Hence, all the animals in the forest, but only the sheeps don't breathing, which means the sheeps die.
This is a typical example of using Chinese homophony to create humorous effects, not a problem that conforms to biological logic.
English Final Answer: The answer is: Because "羊没吐气(扬眉吐气)" (yáng méi tǔ qì).

以清朝的裁衣尺计算，一尺麻布100元，我需要1米的麻布，应该买多少尺（取小数点2位，四舍五入）？需要多少钱（取整数）？
|
2.82尺，282元
|
Calculated using the Qing Dynasty's tailor's foot (裁衣尺), one foot of linen costs 100 yuan. I need 1 meter of linen. How many feet should I buy (round to the nearest 2 decimal places)? How much money will it cost (round to the nearest integer)?
|
English Reasoning:
First, we need to establish the conversion rate between the Qing Dynasty's "caiyi chi" (裁衣尺, tailor's foot) and meters. Historical sources indicate that the Qing Dynasty's "caiyi chi" was approximately 0.355 meters.
Next, we calculate how many "caiyi chi" are in 1 meter of linen:
Number of chi = 1 meter / 0.355 meters/chi
Number of chi = 2.816901408... chi
The problem asks to round this to 2 decimal places, using "四舍五入" (round to the nearest).
The third decimal digit is 6 (which is ≥ 5), so we round up the second decimal digit:
2.8169... chi ≈ 2.82 chi.
Then, we calculate the total cost. One "chi" of linen costs 100 yuan.
Total cost = Number of chi × Price per chi
Total cost = 2.82 chi × 100 yuan/chi
Total cost = 282 yuan.
The problem asks for the cost to be an integer. Since 282 is already an integer, no further rounding is needed.
English Final Answer: 2.82 feet (Qing dynasty's tailoring ruler measurement) of linen, 282 yuan.

Prompt Translation to English:
In the Jiajing period of the Ming dynasty, the Ministry of Works commissioned a craftsman, Li, to build an imperial garden. The design drawings specify a nine-turn corridor; a square water pool with side length 30 zhang and depth 1 zhang 5 chi (to stabilize water energy); a stone bridge 50 zhang long, 3 zhang wide, with an arch height of 5 chi; a winding path 130 zhang long, 5 chi wide; and a pavilion roof height of 1 zhang 2 chi. According to court standards, excavation costs 10 taels of silver per cubic zhang. Li kept the pool’s surface dimensions unchanged but secretly used ‘Yuan chi’ rather than the standard ‘Ming chi’ for invisible dimensions (like depth, heights, thicknesses) to save labor and materials. Calculate how many taels of silver Li embezzled on the pool construction. Give an integer result.
|
English Reasoning：The design specifies a square pool with a side length of 30 zhang and a depth of 1 zhang 5 chi (i.e., 1.5 zhang). Under Ming dynasty standards, 1 zhang = 10 chi, and 1 chi = 32 cm. Therefore, the side length is 30 zhang = 96 meters, and the designed depth is 1.5 zhang = 4.8 meters.
During construction, the depth labeled as “15 chi” was secretly built using Yuan units instead. The Yuan chi is 31.2 cm, so 15 Yuan chi = 468 cm = 4.68 meters. Converting this back into Ming zhang: 4.68 ÷ 3.2 = 1.4625 zhang.
Designed volume: 30 × 30 × 1.5 = 1350 cubic zhang
Actual volume: 30 × 30 × 1.4625 = 1316.25 cubic zhang
Volume difference: 1350 - 1316.25 = 33.75 cubic zhang
With an official excavation rate of 10 taels of silver per cubic zhang, the amount of silver embezzled = 33.75 × 10 = 337.5 taels. Rounded to the nearest whole number: 338 taels of silver.
Final answer: 338

We started going in the '09 edition, but in January '22, we decided not to go again. In 2013 Juan couldn’t go, and in 2015 I missed it because I broke my leg. The rest of the group went every year. How many times did the whole group gather at Korrika?
|
English Reasoning: The Korrika event, which happens every two years, is a traditional Basque race. The group start out attending in '09 and decided to stop attending future events in January '22. The Korrika editions they potentially attended are: 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2021. The 2021 edition was canceled due to the pandemic and moved to March 2022. To find the number of times the entire group attended, we subtract these three instances from the total number of editions they potentially attended together.
The editions where the entire group was present are 2009, 2011, 2017, and 2019. Counting these editions gives the final answer.

某地方县志记载，清朝某年间该县粮仓有“伍仟陆佰柒拾捌“石粮食。若需将这些粮食装入麻袋运输，每个麻袋的最大容量为45公斤，请问至少需要多少个麻袋才能把这些粮食都装完？

A local county annals from the Qing Dynasty recorded that in a certain year, the county granary held a total of 5,678 dàn (a historical unit of measurement) of grain. If the grain were to be packed and transported using sacks, each with a maximum capacity of 45 kilograms, what is the minimum number of sacks required to carry all the grain?
|
English reasoning:
1. Converting Chinese numerals to Arabic numbers:
“伍仟陆佰柒拾捌” 石= 5000 + 600 + 70 + 8 = 5678 dàn (石)
2. Determining the historical unit of measurement during the Qing Dynasty:
In the Qing Dynasty, dàn (石) was used as a unit for measuring grain. Generally, 1 dàn was approximately equal to 120 jīn (catty) in the Qing Dynasty.
1 jīn (市斤) in the Qing Dynasty is roughly equal to 0.59 kg in modern measurements.
Therefore, 1 dàn ≈ 120 jīn × 0.59 kg/jīn = 70.8 kg.
3. Calculating the total weight of the grain:
Total grain = 5678 dàn
Weight per dàn ≈ 70.8 kg
Total weight = 5678 dàn × 70.8 kg/dàn
Total weight = 401,902.4 kg
4. Calculating the number of sacks required:
Maximum capacity per sack = 45 kg
Number of sacks required = Total weight / Sack capacity
Number of sacks required = 401,902.4 kg / 45 kg
Number of sacks required ≈ 8931.164 sacks
5. Rounding up:
Since it's not possible to have a fraction of a sack and all the grain must be packed, we round the result up.
Therefore, the minimum number of sacks required is 8932 sacks.
Final English answer: 8,932.

Next year (2026) my parents will come visit me in Miranda, and we will all attend the "Bajada de los palmeros" (Descend of the Palm-bearers). They told me they will come 5 days before the event to prepare and visit some tourist attractions in the city. Could you tell me what date my parents will arrive?
|
English Reasoning: To determine the arrival date, we first need the date of the "Bajada de los Palmeros" (Descend of the Palm-bearers) in 2026. This event traditionally takes place in Chacao, Miranda, on the Friday before Palm Sunday (known as "Viernes de Concilio"). Palm Sunday is the Sunday before Easter Sunday.
1. Find Easter Sunday 2026: Easter falls on April 5th, 2026.
2. Find Palm Sunday 2026: The Sunday before Easter is March 29th, 2026.
3. Find the date of "Bajada de los Palmeros" 2026: The Friday before Palm Sunday (March 29th) is March 27th, 2026.
4. Calculate the arrival date: The parents arrive 5 days before March 27th, 2026. Counting back 5 days from March 27th gives us March 22nd, 2026 (26th is 1 day before, 25th is 2 days, 24th is 3 days, 23rd is 4 days, 22nd is 5 days).
English Final Answer: March 22nd (in Spanish, "22 de marzo").

In the afternoon, my grandfather would carefully paste the deity's image above the stove, while my grandmother would prepare a feast as an offering. She would even tell me not to sing or shout in front of the stove. This tradition has been passed down and is still faithfully observed today. So, in 2026, on which Gregorian calendar date will the Kitchen God Welcoming Ceremony be held?
Note: The Kitchen God stays in the household until the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month; He is then welcomed back on the 4th day of the first lunar month.
|
English Reasoning:
1. Zao Shen, the god of the stove, also known as the Kitchen God, is in charge of household food and drink. In Chinese folk tradition, the Kitchen God plays a key role in the connection between the household.
2. Sending Off the Kitchen God refers to the ritual of bidding farewell to the Kitchen God, when he ascends to heaven. This is traditionally done on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month — roughly a week before Lunar New Year. Families offer foods (like candied fruits and sticky cakes) to "sweeten" their words to the Jade Emperor.
So, the behaviors described in the prompt — putting up the deity’s image, offering food, avoiding loud noise — all align with the customs of it.
3. Welcoming Back the Kitchen God: After finishing his heavenly travel, the Kitchen God is believed to return to the household. Welcoming him back is part of the broader ritual. In most central traditions, the date is the 4th day of the lunar new year. On this day, families welcome back household gods with offerings, which symbolize inviting blessings and harmony back into the home for the new year.
4. Date of Welcoming Back the Kitchen God in 2026 should be the lunar new year, the 4th day of the lunar new year of 2026 is February 20, 2026, in the Gregorian calendar.
English Final Answer: February 20, 2026

Mi hermana viajó el año pasado a Buenos Aires y me dijo que fue al médico porque le dolía la rodilla, el médico le recomendó que caminara 3 leguas a la semana, para que bajara de peso y así solucionar el problema en la rodilla. Entonces mi hermana le preguntó que cuantas calorías iba a quemar en la semana usando dicha técnica y el médico le dijo que tomara el número de cuadras totales en esa cantidad de leguas y lo multiplicara por los días de la semana y esa era la cantidad de calorías que iba a quemar. Ella no le entendió nada, ¿me podrías decir cuantas calorías a la semana va a quemar mi hermana según el médico?
|
840 calorías.
|
My sister traveled last year to Buenos Aires and told me she went to the doctor because her knee hurt. The doctor recommended she walk 3 leagues a week (leguas) to lose weight and solve her knee problem. Then my sister asked how many calories she would burn in the week using this method, and the doctor told her to take the total number of blocks in that amount of leagues, multiply it by the days of the week, and that would be the number of calories burned. She didn't understand anything. Can you tell me how many calories per week my sister will burn according to the doctor?
In Spanish, the word "leagues" mean "leguas" (a unit of measurement of distance).
|
English Reasoning: Using the official measurements of the 1887 Census of the Federal Capital, we will calculate everything accurately according to the traditional system of measurements in Buenos Aires:
1. How long is a "legua" (league)?
According to the census:
1 "legua" (league) = 40 blocks
Therefore, 3 "leguas" (leagues) = 3 x 40 = 120 blocks
2. What did the doctor say?
The doctor said, "Multiply the number of total blocks by the days of the week." So:
Total blocks: 120
Days of the week: 7
Then:
120 blocks x 7 days = 840 calories per week.
English Final Answer: 840 calories (in Spanish, "840 calorias").

Réfléchissons avec une petite histoire pour s'amuser! "Clément et Aubin sont bien fiers en regardant leurs moutons défiler à la grande Fête de la Transhumance de Saint-Rémy de Provence où des milliers de moutons défilent en ce beau mois de mai. Clément se vante d'avoir participé à au moins 10 Fêtes de la Transhumance mais Aubin, lui, se gonfle le torse et s'exclame, "Moi, j'étais présent à la toute première Fête alors que je n'avais que 10 ans ! Cette année là, la Fête est tombée le même jour de mon anniversaire, je ne l'oublierai jamais!"". Si Aubin vient de célébrer aujourd'hui ses 49 ans et que nous sommes en 2024, quelle était la date de la toute première Fête de la Transhumance?
|
Le lundi de la Pentecôte, le 27 mai 1985.
|
Let's think with a little story for fun! "Clément and Aubin are very proud as they watch their sheep parade at the great Transhumance Festival in Saint-Rémy de Provence where thousands of sheep parade as we enjoy this beautiful month of May. Clément boasts about having participated in at least 10 Transhumance Festivals, but Aubin puffs out his chest and exclaims, "Me, I was present at the very first Festival when I was only 10 years old! That year, the Festival fell on the same day as my birthday, I will never forget it!" If Aubin just celebrated his 49th birthday today and we are in 2024, what was the date of the very first "Fête de la Transhumance" of Saint-Rémy de Provence?
|
Aubin is 49 years old in 2024. To find the year he was born, we need to subtract 49 from 2024. 2024 - 49 = 1975. Aubin was 10 years old at the first Fête de la Transhumance. So, the first Fête de la Transhumance occurred in 1975 + 10 = 1985. However, according to specific sources, the first Feast, "Fête de la Transhumance," which occurs every Whit Monday, was on May 27, 1985.

Si contamos los estados de México que no tienen la letra "a" en su nombre y le sumamos los que llevan una "B", y le restamos la cantidad de días que duró la feria de San Marcos en 2024, ¿Qué número nos queda?
|
-14
|
If we count the states in Mexico that do not have the letter "a" in their name and add those that have a "B", and subtract the number of days the San Marcos fair lasted (Feria de San Marcos) in 2024, what number do we have left?
|
English Reasoning:
First, we need to identify the Mexican states that do not have the letter "a" in their name. There are 32 federal entities in Mexico (31 states and Mexico City).
States without the letter "a":
Guerrero (G-u-e-r-r-e-r-o)
México (M-é-x-i-c-o) (referring to Estado de México)
Morelos (M-o-r-e-l-o-s)
Nuevo León (N-u-e-v-o L-e-ó-n)
So, there are 4 states without the letter "a".
Second, we need to identify the Mexican states that have the letter "B" in their name:
Baja California
Baja California Sur
Puebla
Tabasco
So, there are 4 states with the letter "B".
Third, we need to determine the number of days the San Marcos Fair (Feria de San Marcos) lasted in 2024.
The official dates for the 2024 National Fair of San Marcos were from April 19 to May 11, 2024.
Number of days in April (from 19th to 30th) = 11 days.
Number of days in May (from 1st to 11th) = 11 days.
Total duration of the fair = 11 + 11 = 22 days.
Finally, we perform the calculation:
(Number of states without "a") + (Number of states with "B") - (Duration of San Marcos Fair in 2024)
= 4 + 4 - 22
= 8 - 22
= -14.
English Final Answer: -14

Estoy emprendiendo un nuevo negocio de tetas de frutas. Los sabores que quiero empezar a preparar y vender son: parchita, guanábana, jobo, mango, coco, tamarindo, entre otros. Estamos en mayo y las frutas de temporada son mango, níspero y tamarindo, estos sabores los venderé en 30 Bs. El resto de sabores los venderé en 40 Bs.
Tengo unos clientes que sólo quieren tetas de níspero y me encargaron 40, un segundo cliente quiere 40 tetas de mango y 40 entre parchita, guanábana, jobo y coco.
Entre clientes regulares he vendido en la semana 26 tetas de coco, 12 tetas de jobo, 20 de parchita, 20 de guanábana, 15 de tamarindo y 25 de mango. ¿Cuánto dinero generé esta semana?

I am starting a new fruit ice popsicle business. The flavors I want to start preparing and selling are passion fruit, soursop, jobo (Spanish plum), mango, coconut, and tamarind, among others. We are in May and the seasonal fruits are mango, loquat ("níspero"), and tamarind, these flavors I will sell at 30 Bs. The rest of the flavors I will sell at 40 Bs.
I have some clients who only want loquat ice pops and ordered 40. A second client wants 40 mango ice pops and 40 distributed among passion fruit, soursop, jobo, and coconut.
Among regular clients, I have sold during the week: 26 coconut ice pops, 12 jobo (Spanish plum) ice pops, 20 passion fruit ice pops, 20 soursop ice pops, 15 tamarind ice pops, and 25 mango ice pops. How much money did I generate this week?
|
English Reasoning: To calculate the total money generated, we need to sum the revenue from all sales, applying the correct price for each flavor.
First, let's establish the prices:
* Seasonal flavors (mango, níspero/loquat, tamarind): 30 Bs each.
* Other flavors (parchita/passion fruit, guanábana/soursop, jobo/Spanish plum, coco/coconut): 40 Bs each.
Now, let's calculate the revenue from each set of sales:
* Níspero ice pops: (first client): 40 * 30 Bs/ice pop = 1.200 Bs.
* Mango ice pops: (second client): 40 + 25 (regular sales) * 30 Bs/ice pop = 1.950 Bs
* Coco ice pops: (regular sales): 26 + 10 (second client) * 40 Bs/ice pop = 1.440 Bs
* Jobo ice pops: (regular sales): 12 * 40 Bs/ice pop = 480 Bs
* Parchita ice pops: (regular sales): 20 + 10 (second client) * 40 Bs/ice pop = 1.200 Bs
* Guanábana ice pops: (regular sales): 20 + 10 (second client) * 40 Bs/ice pop = 1.200 Bs
* Tamarindo ice pops (seasonal): 15 * 30 Bs/ice pop = 450 Bs
Total sales = 1.200 + 1.950 + 1.440 + 480 + 1.200 + 1.200 + 450 = 7.920 Bs
English Final Answer: The total money generated this week is 7.920 Bs.

据说关羽身高9尺的青龙偃月刀重82斤，请问是现在的多高，刀又有多少公斤？
|
217厘米（据找到的资料一尺一般在23.1厘米到23.3厘米之间），18.04公斤
|
It is said that Guan Yu was 9 chi tall and his Green Dragon Crescent Blade weighed 82 jin. Could you tell me how tall that is in modern measurements, and how many kilograms the blade weighed?
|
English Reasoning: First, we need to understand the units of measurement used in ancient China during the time of Guan Yu, which was during the Eastern Han dynasty. The "chi" (尺) was a unit of length, and it varied throughout history. During the Han dynasty, 1 chi was approximately equal to 23.1 cm or 0.231 meters. The weight unit "jin" (斤) was also used, and during the Han dynasty, 1 jin was approximately equal to 220 grams or 0.22 kg. To find Guan Yu's height and the weight of his blade in modern units, we'll convert these ancient measurements. For height: 9 chi * 0.231 meters/chi = 2.079 meters. For the weight of the blade: 82 jin * 0.22 kg/jin = 18.04 kg.
English Final Answer: Guan Yu was approximately 2.08 meters tall, and his Green Dragon Crescent Blade weighed approximately 18.04 kilograms.

Responde el acertijo: no quiero media, que es muy sabrosa. ¡Quero una como la luna! ¿Qué será?
|
La medialuna.
|
Solve the riddle: I don't want a half one ("half one" translates as "media" in Spanish), 'cause it's very tasty. I want it like the moon! ("moon" is "luna" in Spanish.) What could it be?
|
English Reasoning: The key to understanding the riddle is to find the wordplay within it. The phrase "I don't want a half one" includes the first clue in the words "half one," as this translates to "media" in Spanish. Then, the phrase "like the moon" translates as "como la luna", when we combine "media" and luna", we get the response to the pun: "medialuna."
In some countries, like Argentina, a "media luna" (half-moon) is a type of pastry similar to a croissant and is indeed tasty. So, wanting one "like the moon" not only gives the final clue to the puzzle but also implies it refers to something so delicious that they want it in big portions.
Final Answer: la medialuna ("half-moon", a type of pastry similar to a croissant, typical of Argentina).

La semana pasada estaba revisando los macundales que dejó mi papá en la casa en Venezuela. Mientras buscaba, encontré unos abrigos, aun con su etiqueta, que eran de mi abuelo. Cada uno tenía su precio de aquella época.
-Un abrigo de piel tenía un precio de 1 real.
-El otro abrigo era de gabardina y tenía un precio de 1 cobre.
-El tercer abrigo era de piel sintética y tenía un precio de 1 medio.
En la factura, decía que le hicieron un descuento del 25 %, ¿cuántos bolívares tuvo que pagar en total?
|
0.609375 bolívares
|
Last week, I was reviewing the belongings that my father left at the house in Venezuela. While searching, I sound some coats, still with their tags, that belonged to my grandfather.
Each one had its price from that era.
-A fur coat had a price "1 real" (Bs 0.50).
-The other coat was made of gabardine and had a price of "1 cobre" (Bs 0.0625).
-The third coat was made of synthetic fur and had a price of "1 medio" (Bs 0.25).
On the invoice, it said there was a 25% discount. How many "bolívares" (Venezuelan currency) did he have to pay in total?
|
English Reasoning:
Let's calculate the total paid for the three coats with the 25% discount.
1. Convert each price to "bolivares" (Venezuelan currency).
Fur coat: 1 real = Bs 0.50
Gabardine coat: 1 cobre = Bs 0.0625
Synthetic fur coat: 1 medio = Bs 0.25
Total without discount:
0.50 + 0.0625 + 0.25 = Bs 0.8521
2. Apply the 25% discount.
25% of 0.8125 = 0.8125 x 0.25 = Bs 0.203125
Total to be paid with discount:
0.8125–0.203125 = Bs 0.609375
Grandfather had to pay a total of Bs 0.609375.
English Final Answer: Bs 0.609375 (in Spanish, "0.609375 bolívares")

A family of four is playing mahjong.
A: “Stop hesitating, look at my white beard, my reactions are faster than yours.”
D: “Exactly—hurry up, you’re too slow.”
C: “You little cotton jacket (小棉袄, which is a term that usually refers to daughter), you’re full of holes.” (meaning: Daughter, you're not on father's side)
B: “your mom is waiting for her winning tile. I have to be careful.”
A: “Your dad’s waiting for the winning tile too, do you know?”
C: “Just let the cannon fire (meaning "go ahead and make a wrong move"), let mom play a few more rounds.”
Please analyze the relationships among these four people.
|
English Reasoning:
1. A (Grandfather/Grandfather)
From "His beard is all white" and "Your father is also waiting for the tiles", we can know that A is a male elder in the family (grandfather or maternal grandfather).
He urged the younger generation as an elder and mentioned "your father", implying that he is B's father.
2. B (Father)
Mentioned "Your mother is waiting for the tiles", where "your mother" refers to C (mother), indicating that B is C's husband and has a child (D) with C.
He carefully responded to his wife (C)'s waiting for the tiles, showing the interaction between husband and wife.
3. C (Mother)
Calling someone "little cotton jacket leaking air", "little cotton jacket (小棉袄)" usually refers to a daughter, so C is D's mother.
She teased her daughter (D) for "leaking air" (not caring) when playing tiles, which is consistent with the intimate interaction between mother and daughter.
4. D (Daughter)
Called "little cotton jacket" by C, she is the daughter of B and C.
She echoed her grandfather (A) in urging others, showing her identity as a younger generation, and she may be younger or lively.
5. Relationship summary:
A and B: father and son (A is B's father).
B and C: husband and wife (B is the husband, C is the wife).
B/C and D: parents and daughter (D is their child).
A and D: grandparents and grandchildren (A is D's grandfather).
English Final Answer:
A is the grandfather, B is the father (A’s son), C is the mother (B’s wife), and D is their daughter.

En el trabajo están organizando un concurso por el Día Mundial del Folklore. Somos una empresa peruana y nos han pedido ver representadas las regiones de la costa, sierra y selva. Las danzas seleccionadas son: Tondero, Huayno, Diablada y Sitaracuy. Se realizó un sorteo para asignar las danzas y publicaron estos resultados ¿Me ayudas a asociar las danzas con cada equipo?
-Finanzas: Con reportes maravillas se van los gastos hormigas.
-Recursos Humanos: Con jora y sin demora para atender a la hora.
-Sistemas: Zapatos seguros para pasos seguros.
-Compras: Con espejos y valorizaciones analizan las cotizaciones.

Sitaracuy, Human Resources: Tondero, Systems: Huayno, Procurement: Diablada.
|
At work, a contest is being organized for World Folklore Day. We are a Peruvian company, and we’ve been asked to represent the coastal, highland, and jungle regions. The selected dances are: Tondero, Huayno, Diablada, and Sitaracuy. A draw was held to assign the dances, and the following results were published. Can you help me associate each dance with the corresponding team?
Finance: With wonderful reports, the “ant expenses” go away.
Human Resources: With jora (a corn-based beverage) and no delay, always ready to help right away.
Systems: Safe shoes for safe steps.
Procurement: With mirrors and valuations, they analyze the quotations.
|
Reasoning in English: The association of traditional dances with the company teams includes several clues that allow for a logical match:
Sitaracuy is a traditional dance from the Peruvian jungle that represents ant stings inflicted on the dancers. This directly relates to the Finance team, whose description says “with their wonderful reports, the ‘ant expenses’ are detected and eliminated,” alluding to their meticulous work in identifying small, hidden costs.
Tondero is a traditional dance from the Peruvian coast, especially the Piura region, where "chicha de jora" (a corn-based beverage) is commonly enjoyed during celebrations. This connects to the Human Resources team, whose phrase “with jora and without delay to attend on time” evokes the team’s warmth, cheerfulness, and agility.
Huayno, originating from the Peruvian Andes, is known for its energetic footwork, performed by both men and women. This links with the Systems team, whose phrase “safe shoes for safe steps” reflects their steadiness and coordination, much like the rhythmic precision of the dance.
Diablada is a vibrant and symbolic dance from the Andean region, specifically from Puno. It is notable for costumes adorned with mirrors. This clue relates to the Procurement team, described as the one that “analyzes quotes with mirrors and valuations,” which reflects their detailed and analytical work.
Thus, the association between each team and dance has been logically established.
English final answer: Finance: Sitaracuy, Human Resources: Tondero, Systems: Huayno, Procurement: Diablada.

Avant la rentrée, j'ai voulu évaluer le niveau de français de mes trois neveux (Jean, Laurent et Bernard) en leur proposant un texte basé sur leurs acquis de l'an dernier. Pour les motiver, je leur ai promis une récompense : le jeu CATAN (dont ils sont fans) pour celui qui obtiendrait la meilleure note sur 10. En cas d'égalité entre deux ou même les trois, je poserai des questions supplémentaires jusqu'à ce qu'on ait un seul gagnant.
Le test comporte quatre questions, chacune valant 2,5 points. Pour les questions à choix multiples, la réponse est considérée correcte uniquement si tous les choix corrects sont donnés.
Voici les questions :
1. Quel mot n'a pas le même sens au masculin et au féminin ? (plusieurs réponses possibles) : a- enseigne ; b- page ; c- vapeur
2. Donne un mot qui est masculin au singulier mais féminin au pluriel.
3. Le groupe de mots "mon nom" est-il : a – un anacyclique ; b – un palindrome.
4. Lequel de ces mots est un énantiosème ? (plusieurs réponses possibles) :
a – pomme ; b – ravir ; c – jurer
Voici les réponses obtenues :
Jean : 1 – a ; b ; c / 2 – Amour / 3 – a / 4 – b
Laurent : 1- a ; c / 2-orgue / 3-b / 4-c
Bernard : 1 – a / 2 – Délice / 3 – a / 4 – b ; c
Qui a gagné CATAN ?
|
"Personne."

Before the new school year, I wanted to evaluate the French level of my three nephews (Jean, Laurent, and Bernard) by giving them a text based on what they learned last year. To motivate them, I promised a reward: the CATAN game (which they are fans of) for the one who would get the best score out of 10. In the event of a tie between two or even three, I would ask additional questions until there was a single winner.
The test consists of four questions, each worth 2.5 points. For multiple-choice questions, the answer is considered correct only if all the correct choices are given.
Here are the questions:
1. Which word doesn't have the same meaning in the masculine and feminine forms? (Multiple answers are possible):
a-enseigne; b-page; c-vapeur
2. Give a word that is masculine in the singular but feminine in the plural. 3. Is the phrase "mon nom" (my name) a- an anacyclic or b- a palindrome?
4. Which of these words is an enantioseme? (Multiple answers possible): a- pomme b- ravir c- jurer
Here are the answers:
Jean: 1- a, b, c; 2- Amour / 3- a / 4- b
Laurent: 1- a, c / 2- Orgue / 3- b / 4- c
Bernard: 1- a / 2- Délice / 3- a / 4- b, c
Who won CATAN?
|
No one has officially won CATAN yet because all three nephews scored 5 points since the correct answers are:
1. a ; b; c (all three French words have different meanings in masculine/feminine). / 2. There are only three Masculine singular/feminine plural word in French language: Amour, Orgue, and Délice (all three are valid). / 3. b ("Mon nom" is a palindrome) / 4. b; c ("Pomme" (apple) is not an enantioseme).
According to the rules stated in the prompt, a tie means additional questions are needed to determine a single winner.

Adivina este acertijo:
No es fortaleza, pero esfuerza. Aquí la verás, firme aunque duela. Esta escodinda callada y con sutileza. ¿Que palabra resuelve este dilema?
|
Fuerza
|
Guess this riddle: It's not a fortress ("no es fortaleza"), but effort (esfuerza). Here you will see it, firm even though it hurts. It's hidden, quiet, and subtle. What word solves this dilemma?
In Spanish, "it is strength" is said "es fuerza".
|
English Reasoning: The riddle plays on the Spanish words "fortaleza" (fortress) and "esfuerza" (forces/effort). The answer must relate to “strength” but not be a literal fortress. It's something you can observe in the riddle ("aquí la verás"), it remains steady or firm despite causing pain or difficulty ("firme aunque duela"), and it operates quietly and subtly in the riddle ("escondida, callada y con sutileza"). The word "fuerza" (force/strength) fits these clues well. When the riddle mentions "pero esfuerza" (but effort), it is mentioning the word "fuerza" (strenght) hidden in the same answer, since "esfuerza" (effort) can be separated in "es fuerza" which means “it is strength”.
English Final Answer: Force ("fuerza" in Spanish)

"L'heure" sonne comme "l'Eure", le département où se trouve Evreux.
|
Explain this joke: Why are the inhabitants of Évreux never late? Because they are always on time.
|
The joke plays on the identical pronunciation in French of "heure" and "Eure", the French department where the city of Évreux is located. The phrase "they are always on time" (ils sont toujours à l'heure) is meant to sound exactly like "they are always in the Eure [department]" (ils sont toujours à l'Eure), creating a pun based on the location of Évreux.

Estuve leyendo el cuaderno de mi abuela en donde anotaba sus ventas del día en el año 1950. En un día en específico escribió que vendió 15 empanadas, 13 arepas y 5 almuerzos. El precio de cada comida era:
Arepas: 1 locha c/u
Empanadas: 1 medio c/u
Almuerzo: 1 real
¿Podrías decirme cuántos Bolívares obtuvo mi abuela ese día?
|
7.875 Bolívares
|
I was reading my grandmother's notebook, where she wrote down her daily sales in 1950. On a specific day, she wrote that she sold 15 "empanadas" (typical food from LATAM), 13 "arepas" (typical food from Colombia and Venezuela), and 5 lunches. The price of each food item was:
-"Arepas" (typical food from Colombia and Venezuela): 1 "locha" (previous colloquial Venezuelan type of currency) each
-"Empanadas" (typical food from LATAM): 1 "medio" (previous colloquial Venezuelan type of currency) each
-Lunch: 1 "real" (previous Venezuelan type of currency) each
Could you tell me how many "Bolívares" (current Venezuelan currency) my grandmother earned that day?
|
English Reasoning:
The terms "locha", "medio", and "real" were part of Venezuela’s historical monetary system when the bolívar was the main currency, but smaller units were needed for everyday transactions. The "real" was the official coin used for amounts less than one bolívar, while "locha" and "medio" were popular, informal terms for smaller fractions. Specifically, the "locha" represented one-eighth of a "bolívar", the "medio" was one-quarter of a bolívar, and the "real" was half a "bolívar".
To calculate the total profits in "bolívares", the value of the old coins ("locha", "medio", and "real") in "bolívares" must be known first. Then, the quantity sold of each product ("empanadas", "arepas", and "lunches") is multiplied by its price in "bolívares". Finally, the total obtained from each product is added to find the profits in "bolívares".
1. The value of the old coins ("locha", "medio", and "real") in "bolívares"
-1 Locha = 0.125 Bolívares (Bs.)
-1 Medio = 0.25 Bolívares (Bs.)
-1 Real = 0.50 Bolívares (Bs.)
2. "Empanadas" (typical food from LATAM):
-Quantity: 15
-Price per empanada: 1 medio = Bs. 0.25
-Total for empanadas = 15 * Bs. 0.25 = Bs. 3.75
3. Arepas (typical food from Colombia and Venezuela):
-Quantity: 13
-Price per arepa: 1 locha = Bs. 0.125
-Total for arepas = 13 * Bs. 0.125 = Bs. 1.625
4. Lunches:
-Quantity: 5
-Price per lunch: 1 real = Bs. 0.50
-Total for lunches = 5 * Bs. 0.50 = Bs. 2.50
5. Finally, we sum the earnings from all items to get the total in "Bolívares":
-Total Bolívares = Bs. 3.75 (empanadas) + Bs. 1.625 (arepas) + Bs. 2.50 (lunches) = Bs. 7.875
English Final Answer: Bs. 7.875

Mi mejor amigo se mudó para el Municipio Simón Rodríguez, Venezuela, y me invitó para que este año vaya a celebrar las fiestas patronales de esa ciudad con él. Pero, me dijo que me fuera dos semanas antes del día de la patrona, para pasar un tiempo juntos. Si hoy es 20 de mayo, ¿cuántos días faltan para que yo vaya al Municipio Simón Rodríguez?

My best friend moved to Simón Rodríguez Municipality, Venezuela, and invited me to celebrate the patron saint festivities of that city with him this year. But he told me to go two weeks before the patron saint's day to spend some time together. If today is May 20th, how many days are left until I go to Simón Rodríguez Municipality?
|
English Reasoning:
1. Identify the current date: May 20th.
2. Identify the event: The user will travel to Simón Rodríguez Municipality.
3. Identify the timing of travel: Two weeks before the patron saint's day of that city.
4. Determine the patron saint and feast day: A search reveals that the patron saint of El Tigre (the capital of Simón Rodríguez Municipality) is "Nuestra Señora del Valle" (Our Lady of the Valley). Her feast day is September 8th.
5. Calculate the travel date:
• Two weeks before September 8th.
• One week before September 8th is September 1st.
• Two weeks before September 8th is Augusto 25th.
6. Calculate the number of days from May 20th to August 25th:
• Days remaining in May: May has 31 days. So, 31–20 = 11 days.
• Days in June: 30 days.
• Days in July: 31 days.
• Days in August until travel: 25 days.
• Total days = 11 (May) + 30 (June) + 31 (July) + 25 (August) = 97 days.

My grandfather was born in the year Yihai (乙亥). His younger brother is the same age as The People's Republic of China (founded in 1949). The youngest child in the family, Maomao, was born in the year my grandfather turned "rice longevity" (米寿, 88 years old). The month of Maomao’s birthday matches the single-digit of the age difference between my grandfather and his brother, and the day matches the rank of his zodiac animal. His 100-day celebration coincided with my grandfather’s birthday. What is my grandfather’s birthdate (year, month, day)?
|
English Reasoning:
Grandfather’s birth year: Yihai (乙亥) corresponds to 1935 or 1995. Since his brother was born in 1949 (PRC’s founding), 1935 is valid (age gap = 1949 - 1935 = 14 years).
Maomao’s birth year: Grandfather turned 88 ("rice longevity") in 1935 + 88 = 2023.
Maomao’s birth month: Age gap (14) → single-digit = 4 → April.
Maomao’s birth day: 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit (4th zodiac animal) → day = 4.
100-day celebration: April 4, 2023 + 100 days = July 13, 2023. This matches Grandfather’s birthday.
Grandfather’s birthdate: Confirmed as July 13, 1935.
English Final Answer: 1935, July 13

! Qué duras, no! Exclama mi madre al morder un cacahuate. Luego procede a comprar su fruta favorita, que aquí en alguna parte, esta bien escrita. ¿Qué fruta es?
|
La fruta es "Durazno".
|
How hard they are, right? ("¡Qué duras, no!") My mother exclaims when biting a peanut. Then she proceeds to buy her favorite fruit, which is well written here in any part. What fruit is it?
In Spanish, ("¡Qué duras, no!") "How hard, right!" sounds like "Que -Duras-no" or "Durasno" which means Peach.
|
English Reasoning: This is a wordplay puzzle in Spanish. The clue is in the phrase "Qué duras, no!" ("How hard, right!") that the mother exclaims. The Spanish word "duras" (hard) is part of the word "durazno," which means "peach," and "duras" combined with "no" sounds like she is saying "duraznos" (peach). The puzzle hints that the mother's favorite fruit is hidden in her exclamation about the hardness of the peanuts.
English Final Answer: Peach ("durazno" in Spanish).

Mi tía Magalys tenía una bodega en Venezuela. El proveedor de casabe le dejaba 30 tortas grandes a 1 octavo de real cada una. Mi tía vendía cada media torta de casabe en 1 churupo cada una. En la bodega se vendían las 30 tortas de casabe en una semana. ¿Cuánto es la ganancia semanal en bolívares que tenía mi tía por la venta de casabe?
|
1.125 bolívares
|
My aunt Magalys had a small store ("bodega") in Venezuela. The cassava bread supplier would leave her 30 "large tortas" (flatbreads) at 1 eighth of a "real" (old Venezuelan coins) each. My aunt sold each "half flatbread of cassava" (half-torta) for 1 "churupo" (old Venezuelan coins) each. In the bodega, the 30 cassava breads were sold in a week. What is the weekly profit in "bolívares" (Venezuelan currency) that my aunt made from the sale of cassava bread?
|
English Reasoning: To calculate the weekly profit, we first need to determine the total cost of the "cassava tortas" (flatbreads) and the total revenue from selling them. Then, we subtract the total cost from the total revenue. The problem uses old Venezuelan currency units (real, churupo) and asks for the profit in "bolívares" (Venezuelan currency), so we need to use historical conversion rates:
1. Historical Currency Conversions:
• 1 real = 0.50 bolívares (Bs.) or 1/2 Bs.
• 1 churupo = 0.05 bolívares (Bs.) or 1/20 Bs.
2. Calculate Total Cost:
• Cost per "torta" (flatbread) = 1/8 real.
• Number of tortas bought = 30.
• Total cost in reales = 30 tortas x (1/8 real/torta) = 30/8 reales = 15/4 reales = 3.75 reales.
• Convert total cost to bolívares: 3.75 reales x 0.50 Bs./real = Bs. 1.875
• Alternatively, using functions: (15/4 reales) x (1/2 Bs./real) = 15/8 Bs.
3. Calculate Total Revenue:
• Each torta is sold as 2 half-tortas.
• Number of half-tortas sold from 30 tortas = 30 tortas x 2 half-tortas/torta = 60 half-tortas.
• Selling price per half-torta = 1 churupo.
• Total revenue in churupos = 60 half-tortas x 1 churupo/half-torta = 60 churupos.
• Convert total revenue to bolívares: 60 churupos x 0.05 Bs./churupo = Bs. 3.00.
• Alternatively, using functions: 60 churupos x (1/20 Bs./churupo) = 60/20 Bs. = Bs. 3.00
4. Calculate Profit:
• Profit = Total Revenue (in bolívares) - Total Cost (in bolívares).
• Profit = Bs. 3.00 - Bs. 1.875 = Bs. 1.125
English Final Answer: Bs. 1.125 (in Spanish, "1.125 bolívares")

The "dance under the brioche" is a known traditional danse during weddings in Vendée, a French department. The dance under the brioche includes dancing under a brioche that weighs more than 44 lbs. However, going from Paris to anywhere in Vendée (any city) by car takes more than 3 hours, making the presence of the friend, who would leave Paris at 10AM, impossible at 1PM.

I work in France from Monday to Friday and I need to take 10 days off in 2025. If I leave the day after Labor Day, when will I return?

Labor Day (Fête du Travail) in France is May 1st. In 2025, May 1st falls on a Thursday. The person leaves the day after, which is Friday, May 2nd, 2025. They need to take 10 working days off ("congés payés" typically refers to taking working days off, and public holidays within the period are not counted against the leave allowance). Therefore, Thursday, May 8th (Victory in Europe Day - Public Holiday in France) is not counted as a day off taken. The working days are Monday to Friday so the 10th working day taken off is Friday, May 16th. The person will return to work on the next working day which is Monday, May 19th, 2025

English Reasoning:
The person was born in the 1990s, meaning the Gregorian year is between 1990 and 1999, inclusive.
The birth year "had two Lichun" (双春年). So, the possible years based on this clue are 1990, 1993, 1995, 1998. Zodiac signs are horse, rooster, pig, and tiger, respectively. Rooster is the smallest among these and is a relatively small animal. Therefore the person was born in 1993.

por favor explica este chiste basado en un juego de palabras:
"si una diva...

|
Si una arriba, la otra abajo.
|
Please explain this joke based on a play on words: "si una diva... la otda abajo?",
|
English Reasoning: The joke plays with the Spanish phrase "si una diva..." which sounds like "si una arriba" ("if one up"). The punchline "la otda abajo?" mimics "la otra abajo?" meaning "the other one down?". The joke is a pun based on the similar sounds of "diva" (which means "diva" or "star") and "de arriba" ("of up"). The whole joke phonetically reconstructs the question "si una arriba, la otra abajo?" which means "if one is up, is the other one down?".
English Final Answer: The joke is a pun that swaps the words "diva" and "de arriba", making it sound like "if one is up, is the other one down?", and plays on the double meaning and sound similarity.

En grupo de cuatro personas: Apolo, Ares, Indigo y Amaranto.

Primas: 3
Primos: 1
|
In a group of four people: Apolo, Ares, Indigo, and Amaranto.
Ares is more energetic/lively ("pila": a shrewd person) than an airplane ("avión": a mentally agile person), and her uncle has always called her my little child ("guagua").
Her mother refers to Amaranto as "little girl" ("guambita").
Apolo and Indigo are inseparable ("like dirt and fingernail"). Indigo has been the life of the party since he was a kid, and Apolo has had a flat nose ("ñatica") since she was born.
How many female cousins and how many male cousins are there?
|
English Reasoning: This prompt plays with the fact that in Spanish, there is no neuter gender. The gender of a noun can be masculine or feminine. Unlike English, where most nouns are common, they do not have a definite gender connotation.
In this case, some clues are given to determine the gender of four people, and these clues lead to determining how many are female cousins and how many are male cousins.
For example, the prompt says, “Ares is more clever ("pila" is a smart and agile person) than an airplane ("avion" in this context is an astute person), and her uncle has always called her my little child ("mi guagua").” By stating that a person is “pila,” you are referring to her as female; this word refers to a person who is skillful, diligent, and intelligent in some Latin American countries. If it were a man, it would be “pilo.” Also, “mi guagua” refers to a small child, in this case, a little girl. So, Ares is a woman.
On the other hand, in the sentence “Her mother refers to Amaranto as Littler girl ("guambita"),” “Guambita” is a diminutive only related to the female gender. Therefore, Amaranto is a woman.
In the phrase "Indigo has been the life of the party since he was a kid ("escuincle")," By saying "escuincle" is a Mexican term used to refer to a child, suggesting that Indigo is a boy because of the -e- ending. If he were a girl, it would end with -a- (“escuincla”), so Indigo is male.
Finally, the prompt says, “Apolo has been 'Ñatica' since she was born.” “Ñatica” is a feminine adjective (diminutive of “ñata,” which means female with a small nose). This clearly indicates that Apolo is a woman.
Finally, there are 3 female cousins (Ares, Amaranth, and Apollo) and 1 male cousin (Indigo).
English Final Answer: 3 female cousins(primas) and 1 male cousin (primo).

En mi familia de Argentina no estamos de acuerdo con designar un nombre masculino ni femenino a los bebes. En consecuencia, se les han asignado nombres neutros, de tal modo que entre mi nombre y el de mis primos son los siguientes: Alex, Cris, Sam, Ariel y Noa.
Cada uno tiene características diferentes:
Alex es la bomba tucumana.
Cris es el terror de las mujeres.
A Sam le dicen el "tobogán de piojos".
Noa le dicen "el pulga".
¿Cuántas personas hay de cada género?
|
4 hombres y 1 mujer
|
In my family in Argentina, we don't agree with assigning a masculine or feminine name to babies. Consequently, they have been assigned neutral names, such that between my name and my cousins' names, they are the following: Alex, Cris, Sam, Ariel, and Noa.
Each one has different characteristics:
Alex is the "Tucuman bombshell" (la bomba tucumana),
Cris is the "terror of women" (el terror de las mujeres),
Sam is called the "lice slide" (tobogan de piojos)
Noa is called "the flea" (el pulga).
How many people are there of each gender?
|
English Reasoning:
Indeed, all the names are gender-neutral, meaning they cannot be identified as male or female just by looking at them: Alex, Cris, Sam, Ariel, and Noa.
Using Spanish grammatical gender markers, we try to identify each person’s gender: first, "la" for Alex, suggesting female; "el" for Cris, Sam, and Noa, suggesting male. But this is not fully reliable, since in the phrase "la bomba" the second word ends in the letter "a", which makes the gender marker inconclusive.
Therefore, a second step is needed, analyzing the description and its cultural context. In Argentina, "la bomba tucumana" (the Tucuman bombshell) refers to a famous female singer and is commonly used to describe a beautiful woman. As a result, it can be confirmed that Alex is a woman.
For the other three, "el terror de las mujeres" (the terror of women) refers to a man who attracts many women, "tobogán de piojos" (lice slide) usually describes a bald man (though it can apply to women, it is uncommon), and "el pulga" (the flea) refers to a short man, as in the nickname for Lionel Messi.
English Final Answer: 4 men and 1 woman.

Je suis vétérinaire, et un client m'a posé deux lapins le matin pour un contrôle, qui semblaient d'ailleurs avoir repris du poil de la bête.
Le client m'a confirmé qu'il allait revenir l'après-midi pour récupérer les lapins, sauf qu'il a fini par ne pas pointer son nez de toute la journée. Combien de lapins m'a posé ce client ?

"Trois lapins."

I am a veterinarian, and a client left me two rabbits in the morning for a checkup, both of which seemed to have recovered well. He promised to come back that afternoon to pick them up, but in the end, he stood me up—“left me with a rabbit,” as the French say.
So, how many rabbits did he leave me with?
Reasoning:
Three rabbits = Two real rabbits + One figurative rabbit.
Two real rabbits: the pets he brought in.
One figurative "rabbit" from the French expression "poser un lapin," meaning to stand someone up.
|
"Three rabbits." The trick lies in distinguishing between the literal rabbits and the figurative use of the phrase. The two rabbits are real, while the client’s no-show in the afternoon is a play on the expression, since in French to say 'poser un lapin' means being a no-show.
(Three rabbits = Two real rabbits + One figurative rabbit).

La tiene pulla y también aguero, y si te puyas el dedo también la tiene unguento. ¿Qué es?
|
Letra U
|
It is in mockery (pulla) and also in premonition (aguero), and if you stub (puyas) your toe, it is also in ointment (unguento). What is it?
|
English Reasoning: The riddle uses wordplay related to the Spanish words "pulla" ( It has no direct translation into English; in Spanish, it is a hurtful or witty verbal expression, often used to criticize or mock someone), "aguero" (It has no direct translation into English, in some countries like Colombia it is an omen or sign of something future), and "ungüento" (Spanish for ointment). The letter "U" is common in the words "pulla" and "aguero," and it is the starting letter of "ungüento" in Spanish. This connects all clues to the letter U.
English Final Answer: Letter U (In Spanish, letra U).

Adivina qué es: Es blanco como el Aguardiente y fuerte como algo que este contiene.
|
Diente
|
Guess what it is: It is white like "aguardiente" (a type of strong liquor) and strong like something that it contains.
In Spanish, tooth is said “diente”.
|
English Reasoning: Aguardiente is a clear, strong alcoholic drink. It has its roots in Colombia and is a distilled beverage made from sugar cane. The riddle uses wordplay: "Aguardiente" can be split into "agua" (water) and "diente" (tooth). Then, the answer is within the word "aguardiente". The answer is "tooth" (diente), which is white like the drink and metaphorically "strong" as teeth are tough.
English Final Answer: Tooth (In Spanish, is diente).

请解释这个笑话：
小明问小红：”你有《时间简史》吗？“
小红大惊，问：”我捡这玩意儿干嘛？“
|
有《时间简史》和“有时间捡屎”同音。
|
Explain this joke:
Xiao Ming asked Xiao Hong: "Do you have "A Brief History of Time"?"
Xiao Hong was surprised and asked: "Why would I pick up such a thing?",
|
This joke uses a pairs of homophones in Chinese to create its humorous points:
简史 (jiǎ shǐ): A brief history
捡屎 (jiǎ shǐ): pick up feces
In this joke, Xiao Ming asked seriously about "你有《时间简史》吗". Here, "时间简史" is the book The Brief History of Time" by Steven Hawking, "有" means have, so the whole sentence structure is "你/有/时间简史/吗“（you/have/The Brief History of Time/question particle), which means "do you have (the book) The Brief History of Time?".
But Xiao Hong misunderstands it, wrongly perceiving that Xiao Ming is asking "你/有时间/捡屎/吗“ (you/have time/ to pick up feces/question particle), which means "do you have time to pick up feces?". Thus, Xiao Hong is shocked and wonders why Xiao Ming is asking such a ridiculous thing and ask "why would I pick up such a thing?"
This joke creates a sharp contrast between a science books and a vulgar behavior of picking up feces by using homophonic mismatch of "brief history" and "picking up feces". This is what makes this joke funny.

Tengo algunos enemigos que me llevan la contraria, intentaré solucionarlo, pero sí no ni modo. Ya te he dicho mi nombre, dime que soy.
|
Sinónimo
|
I have some enemies who are against me; I will try to solve it, but "if not, no way" (si no ni modo). I've already told you my name; tell me what I am?
In Spanish, "synonym" is said "si-nó-ni-mo."
|
English Reasoning: The riddle hints at a word through a clever play on words and a hidden meaning. Pay attention to the second part of the riddle, "intentaré solucionarlo, pero si no ni modo" (I will try to solve it, but if not, no way), it contains the clue. Read aloud, quickly and without pause, the phrase "si no ni modo" (if not, no way), and we can see that it hides the word "synonym." In addition, the statement begins with "I have some enemies who take against me," which reinforces the idea that this is a word whose opposite would be "antonyms." Finally, the riddle says, "I have already told you my name," which confirms that the response is not explicit but implicit and hidden in the sound of the words.
Final English Answer: Synonym (in Spanish "sinónimo")

Un ave soy, pero sin alas y de la tierra que vengo es toda llana. ¿Quién soy?
|
La Avellana
|
A bird (ave) I am, but wings I have none, and all is flat (llana) in the land I come from. What am I?
In Spanish, the riddle consists of joining the words' ave (bird) with llana (flat), which form the word Avellana "Hazelnut".
|
The riddle plays with the Spanish words "Ave", which means bird, and "Llana" means flat or plain; the way the object is described indicates it's not literally a "bird" (ave) since the riddle points to the fact that it has no wings. The object also comes from the land/earth, pointing to a tree or fruit. The last clue comes from the word "flat" (llana), which clues to the plausible answer which would be the joining of the words "Ave-llana", "Avellana, the Spanish word for Hazelnut.
English Final Answer: Hazelnut (In Spanish means Avellana / Ave-llana)

In Spanish, Milk caramel sauce it says Dulce de leche (pan Dulce / de leche).
|

Justo cuando estaba hilando la trama, escuchó la música y se emocionó. ¿Qué está haciendo ahora? Encuentra la acción escondida en la frase.
|
Bailando.
|
Just when she was starting to understand ("Justo cuando estaba hilando la trama"), the music started, and she got excited ("empezó la música y se emocionó"). What is she doing now? (¿Qué está haciendo ahora?"). Find the action hidden in the phrase ("Encuentra la acción escondida en la frase").
In Spanish, the words "estaba hilando" (was understanding) sounds exactly as "está bailando" (dancing).
|
English Reasoning: In Spanish, the phrase "estaba hilando la trama" is used for when somebody is trying to understand something, similar to putting the dots together. The prompt says the action is hidden in the phrase. "Estaba hilando" (was trying to understand) can be changed to an action: "está bailando" (dancing). Since the prompt mentioned that the person got excited when the music started to sound, the action could be found combining the words. So the right answer to what is she doing, "is dancing" (bailando).
English Final Answer: Dancing (Bailando).

根据以下的谜面猜一个成语。谜面是这样的：”我带着一美元去约会。” “你这是_______”（填空）
|
单刀赴会
|
Based on the following riddle, guess a Chinese idiom. A hint: it requires a bit of thinking and is related to a popular term for "US dollar". The riddle goes: "I'm bringing one US dollar to a date." "You are _______" (fill in the blank)
|
English Reasoning: The clue involves "one dollar" and "going on a date." In Chinese, "美元" (dollar) is also called "刀" because of its similarity to pronunciation of "dollar." Also, "单" can be used to express "sole" or "one." The phrase "你这是_____" indicates a pun or wordplay is needed. "Bringing one US dollar to a date" can be expressed as "单刀赴会," where "赴会" means "go on a date." Here, the summarization of a literal event puns with a Chinese idiom that means "to go among enemies with only one's sword."
English Final Answer: 单刀赴会 ("to go among enemies with only one's sword").

如果女朋友买的生蚝里面都是泥，应该怎么安慰她？答案好像是一句表白的话，四个字，很常见的
|
好喜欢你（蚝喜欢泥）
|
If the oysters (生蚝，shēng háo) my girlfriend bought were full of mud (泥，ní), how should I comfort her? The answer seems to be a four-character confession phrase in Chinese and it is very common.
|
English Reasoning: Oyster (蚝) has the same pronunciation as "好," which can mean "very," "really." "泥" has the same pronunciation as "你," which means "you." Since oyster is sticking to mud, it can be interpreted as "oyster likes mud," which can be expressed as "蚝喜欢泥," which sounds like "好喜欢你" (I really like you), a very common Chinese expression to confess one's love.
English Final Answer: 好喜欢你（蚝喜欢泥）

为什么一个勇士躺在床上，后背很痒，但他却不能翻身？
|
勇士（永世）不得翻身
|
Why does a warrior lying in bed feel itchy on his back but can't turn over?
|
English reasoning: This joke is a pun based on Chinese homophones. Key wordplay:
The humor comes from this double meaning:
勇士 (yǒng shì): warrior
永世 (yǒng shì): forever, for all eternity
翻身 (fān shēn): has two meaning. The literal meaning (physical action) means to turn over physically, like turning your body while lying down. The other figurative meaning (life situation) is also used metaphorically to describe someone recovering from hardship or rising again after failure, similar to "turning one's life around," "making a comeback," or "rising again" in English.
The punchline is “勇士不得翻身” (yǒng shì bù néng fān shēn), which literally means “the warrior can't turn over.” , which sounds exactly the same as “永世不得翻身” (yǒng shì bù néng fān shēn), meaning “never able to recover or rise again for all eternity.” This phrase "永世不得翻身" is so often used in Chinese historical dramas or martial arts films as a dramatic curse, making it a well-known expression in Chinese. A character might say "I swear I’ll make sure you never rise again for eternity!" to an enemy in anger or hatred to express a strong sense of vengeance or condemnation, as if wishing he/she permanent downfall.
Final English answer: Because a warrior (勇士) can never turn over (不能翻身).

为什么说《西游记》里面总共有三十六个白骨精？
|
因为三打白骨精，3 × 12 = 36。
|
Why is it said that there are a total of thirty-six White Bone Demons in Journey to the West?
|
English Reasoning: The claim that there are a total of thirty-six White Bone Demons in Journey to the West is a wordplay based on the story. In the story, the White Bone Demons transforms itself three times to deceive Tang Sanzang and capture him. Sun Wukong sees through each disguise and attack the demons three times, eventually killing it on the third attempt. This story is known as "Sun Wukong Thrice Fights the White Bone Demon" ("三打白骨精"). In the Chinese phrase "三打白骨精" (sān dǎ bái gǔ jīng), the word "打" (dǎ) carries double meanings. "打" (dǎ) means "to beat" or "to fight" in the original text. However, it also means "a dozen of". Therefore, the number thirty-six arise from the pun on the word "打". The phrase "三打白骨精" (Thrice Fights the White Bone Demon") could be humorously interpreted as three dozens of the White Bone Demons. 3 × 12 = 36.
English Final Answer: Because the story of the White Bone Demon is known as "Sun Wukong Thrice Fights the White Bone Demon" ("三打白骨精"), where "打" (dǎ) can mean both "to fight" and "a dozen of". Therefore, there are three dozens of the White Bone Demons, leading to 3 × 12 = 36.

为什么新冠疫情导致很多人都是神雕大侠？
|
因为神雕大侠是杨过，“杨过”谐音“阳过”。
|
Why did the COVID-19 pandemic cause many people to become "Condor Heroes"?
|
English Reasoning: The term "神雕大侠" ("Condor Hero") refers to Yang Guo, a one-armed protagonist from the novel The Return of the Condor Heroes. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this term became a humorous metaphor in Chinese internet culture. The pun lies in the Mandarin pronunciation of the protagonist's name (杨过/Yáng Guò), which sounds identical to "阳过" (yáng guò), which means "had been tested positive for COVID-19". People who recovered from COVID-19 jokingly adopted the title "神雕大侠" to reference both the character and their own "survivor" status.
English Final Answer: Had been tested positive for COVID-19" (阳过/yáng guò) sounds identical to the name of the one-armed novel protagonist Yang Guo (杨过), who is also known as the Condor Hero.

My friend was born in El Tigre, Anzoátegui (city of Venezuela), on the day of its patron saint. She invited me to go celebrate her birthday with her this year (2025), but she asked me to go two weeks before her birthday so we could spend more time together. What day do I have to leave for El Tigre?
|
English Reasoning: To determine the departure date, we first need to identify the friend's birthday. The prompt states she was born on the day of the patron saint of El Tigre, Anzoátegui (city of Venezuela). The patron saint of El Tigre is the Virgin of the Valley, whose feast day is celebrated on September 8th. Therefore, the friend's birthday is September 8th. The invitation is for 2025, and the request is to arrive two weeks (14 days) before the birthday. Counting back 14 days from September 8th, 2025, gives us the date August 25th, 2025.

Este año 2025, coordinando una reunión con mis amigos un viernes después de rezar todos en la mezquita de Palermo en Buenos Aires, discutíamos para encontrar un fin de semana largo para salir a pasear a Mar del Plata. Se nos ocurrió viajar el fin de semana de carnaval, pero terminamos planificando el viaje para el siguiente fin de semana largo, donde el día feriado es el Día Nacional de la Memoria por la Verdad y Justicia por falta de dinero. Sin embargo, este fin de semana se presentó una alerta meteorológica y terminamos aplazando el viaje para el siguiente fin de semana largo ¿Cuánto días han pasado entre el sábado del primer fin de semana largo y el sábado del último fin de semana largo?

This year, 2025, coordinating a meeting with my friends on a Friday after praying at the Palermo mosque in Buenos Aires, we were discussing finding a long weekend to go to Mar del Plata. We thought of traveling on the carnival weekend, but we ended up planning the trip for the next long weekend, where the holiday is the National Day of Memory for Truth and Justice, due to a lack of money. However, this weekend, a weather alert was issued, and we ended up postponing the trip to the next long weekend. How many days have passed between the Saturday of the first long weekend and the Saturday of the last long weekend?
|
English Reasoning:
A long weekend in Argentina occurs when at least a public holiday falls on a preceding Friday or the following Monday. The three identified public holidays are: first, March 3, and Tuesday, March 4 for Carnival; second, March 24, National Day of Memory for Truth and Justice; and third, March 31, the Feast of Breaking the Fast of the Holy Month of Ramadan. The latter is a public holiday exclusively observed by people of the Muslim faith. Since it is mentioned that they came from praying at a mosque, it is assumed that they belong to that religion. Finally, the calculation: the first Saturday of the first long weekend is March 1, and the first Saturday of the third long weekend is March 29. The number of days between these two Saturdays is 28.
English Final Answer: 28 days.

Para el 18, Fran va a ir a una fonda con 3 amigos para probar diferentes comidas tradicionales, no se repetiran ninguna entre ellos. ¿Puedes deducir qué hará cada uno?
Comidas: pajarito, empanada, mote con huesillo, anticucho.
Información disponible:
Fran sostiene un palo mientras come.
A José le gusta el dulce.
A Marta no le gustan las pasas, pero si los duraznos.
A Martin le gusta comer masas que no tienen decoración blanca mientras ve las aves.
|
Fran: anticucho, José: pajaritos, Marta: mote con huesillo, Martín: empanadas.
|
For the 18th (Chilean Independence Day), Fran will go to a fonda (a traditional fair with food, drinks, and games) with three friends to enjoy different traditional foods. Can you figure out what each one will have?
Foods:
Pajarito (a sweet bread shaped like a little bird)
Empanada (savory dough, usually filled with meat)
Mote con huesillo (sweet drink or food made from peaches and mote)
Anticucho (meat skewer)
Available information:
Fran holds a stick while eating.
José likes sweet things.
Marta doesn't like raisins, but she does like peaches.
Martin enjoys eating pastries while watching birds.
|
Reasoning:
1. Fran holds a stick while eating. The 'anticucho' is a meat skewer, which is held by a stick. So, Fran will eat the anticucho.
2. Marta doesn't like raisins but likes peaches. 'Mote con huesillo' is a drink containing 'huesillos' (dried peaches). So, Marta will have the mote con huesillo.
3. José likes sweet things. Out of the remaining options (pajarito, empanada), the 'pajarito' is a sweet pastry. So, José will eat the pajarito.
4. Martin likes to eat 'masas' (doughs) without white decoration while watching birds. The only remaining food is the 'empanada'. An empanada is a pastry ('masa') and typically doesn't have white decoration (like powdered sugar, which 'pajaritos' sometimes have). The mention of birds could be a slight misdirection towards 'pajarito' (little bird), but the 'no white decoration' clue strongly points to the empanada. So, Martín will eat the empanada.
English final Answer:
Fran: anticucho (meat skewer), José: pajaritos (a typical sweet), Marta: mote con huesillo (a typical drink), Martín: empanadas (pastry that sometimes contains raisins).

A Javier le dijeron que debe conseguir troncos grandes para un evento importante que suele realizarse en Chile, pero no sabe para qué evento es.
Solo tiene las siguientes pistas sobre cuatro celebraciones:
En el primer evento, la gente arma estructuras de madera cubiertas de ramas y hojas para celebrar con bailes y juegos tipicos.
En el segundo evento se trasladan casas de un lugar a otro.
El tercer evento es al final del verano y se construyen balsas de madera decoradas con luces para navegar en un desfile nocturno.
En el cuarto evento se levantan carpas para ventas de artesanías en los campos.
¿Cómo se llama el evento al cual Javier irá?
|
Minga de Chiloé
|
Javier was told he needs to get large logs for an important event that usually takes place in Chile, but he doesn't know which event it is.
He only has the following clues about four celebrations:
In the first event, people build wooden structures covered with branches and leaves to celebrate with typical dances and games.
In the second event, houses are moved from one place to another.
The third event is at the end of summer, and decorated wooden rafts with lights are built to navigate in a night parade.
In the fourth event, tents are set up for craft sales in rural areas.
What is the name of the event Javier will attend?
|
Reasoning: The question asks you to identify a Chilean event based on four descriptions, knowing that the event requires “large logs.” Let's analyze the clues:
1. Building wooden structures covered with branches: This is typical of Chilean national holidays. These structures are known as “ramadas” and are built during national holidays, but they are lightweight structures made with small branches, not large logs.
2. Moving houses from one place to another: This clearly refers to the “Minga de Chiloé,” a traditional community event in which entire houses are moved, usually with the help of oxen and by rolling the houses on large logs. In this case, large logs are absolutely essential.
3. Building decorated wooden rafts for a night parade: This describes the “Noche Valdiviana.” The rafts require wood, and even small logs for the structure, but they are specific types of wood that have been worked, so large logs would not be suitable.
4. Setting up stalls to sell handicrafts: This is done during country festivals, but poles or lightweight structures are needed, not large logs; they are made with tents.
Comparing the options, in the second event, “la Minga,” large logs are really essential for the main activity of moving houses. It is a well-known tradition in the Chiloé archipelago and relies heavily on community work and sturdy natural materials, such as large logs.
Final answer: The “Minga de Chiloé” (ancestral tradition of moving houses in Chiloé).

我是90后，今年25年年初我换了新工作，现在需要办理一个新的手机号码。我新的手机尾号最后两位非常好，不仅和我的出生年份一致，还象征着财源滚滚。号码拿到手后，我给我妈发了一条信息，告诉她我今年端午回家过生日，正好两个日子撞一起了，也省的办两次宴席了。请问我的出生年月日是什么？

I was born in the 90s. At the beginning of this year, 2025, I need to get a new mobile number as I have changed to a new job. The last two digits of my new mobile number are very good, as they not only match my birth year but also symbolize the meaning of rolling wealth in Chinese. I then sent a message to my mom via my new number, telling her that I'll come home for the Dragon Boat Festival to celebrate my birthday, as the two dates coincide this year, so we'll not need to hold two separate banquets. Please tell me what is my date of birth (Year, Month, Day)?
|
English Reasoning:
The user was born in the 90s, meaning his/her birth year should fall between 1990 and 1999. As the last two digits of his/her new phone number match their birth year. So the last two digits should be the number between 90-99.
The prompt also mentioned that these last two digits also symbolize the meaning of "rolling wealth" (财源滚滚) in Chinese， and in Mandarin, the number '8' has two pronunciations, one is 八 (bā), the other one is 发 (fā), and the latter one is a homophone for fortune. Similarly, the number '9' is also a homophone for '久', which contains the meaning that something is long-lasting. Therefore, the number '98' (九八 - jiǔ fā) can be understood as to have a long-lasting fortune, this combination fitting both the birth year range (90-99) and the underlying clue the prompt offers in regard to the wealth symbolism. Therefore, the most likely last two digits are '98', making the birth year 1998.
As with the day of birth, the prompt has specified that the current year is 2025 ("今年25年年初"), and this year, the user's birthday coincides with the Dragon Boat Festival (端午节). Based on the Chinese tradition, the Dragon Boat Festival occurs on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, and this falls on May 31st this year.
Based on the above, the user's date of birth should therefore be May 31, 1998.
English Final Answer: May 31, 1998

Hervé et Robert ont chacun un boula, Martine un chacha et Thierry un maké. Ils vont jouer du gwoka ce soir. Hervé veut commencer par le kaladja, Robert le graj, Martine le léwoz et Thierry le woulé. C'est le public qui décide et demande un rythme à 3 temps. Qui a eu ce qu'il voulait ?
|
Thierry.
|
Hervé and Robert each have a "boula" (drum), Martine a "chacha" (calabash), and Thierry a "maké" (smaller drum). They will play Guadeloupean music, gwoka, tonight. Hervé wants to start with the "kaladja" rhythm, Robert with "graj", Martine with "léwoz", and Thierry with "woulé". The audience decides and requests a 3-beat rhythm. Who got what they wanted?
|
Gwoka is a traditional drum music from Guadeloupe with various rhythms. Among these rhythms, "woulé" is the only rhythm in 3 beats out of the four mentioned ("kaladja", "graj", "léwoz", and "woulé"). Since the audience requested a rhythm in 3 beats, they would have chosen the "woulé" rhythm.
Therefore, Thierry got what he wanted because he wanted the "woulé" rhythm.

Ma couleur préférée est définie selon plusieurs possibilités… Premièrement, je peux être la couleur centrale du ruban de la distinction française dédiée à la famille et à l'enfance. Deuxièmement, je peux aussi être la couleur actuelle d'une entreprise française fondée par Louis XI. Troisièmement, je peux être celle de l'un des derniers mois de l'année, sans être le dernier ou celui de la Lune du Castor, symbolisé par un ruban de la même couleur. Quatrièmement, dans le même état d'esprit de prévention que la couleur précédente, je suis la couleur du mois de mars en France. Tout ça pour dire que ma couleur préférée, parmi les quatre différentes, n'est ni une primaire, ni issue d'un mélange de couleurs primaires mentionnées dans l'énigme. Alors, que suis-je ?
|
« le rose ».
|
My favorite color is defined by several possibilities… Firstly, I can be the central color of the ribbon of the French distinction dedicated to family and childhood. Secondly, I can also be the current color of a French company founded by Louis XI. Thirdly, I can be that of one of the last months of the year, without being the last or that of the Beaver Moon, symbolized by a ribbon of the same color. Fourthly, in the same spirit of prevention as the previous color, I am the color of the month of March in France. All this to say that my favorite color, among the four different ones, is neither a primary color nor the result of mixing primary colors mentioned in the riddle. So, what am I?
|
"pink" → Pink is the color representing the month of October, which is not the last month of the year or the month of the Beaver Moon (November). It is not a primary color, including those mentioned in this riddle (blue and yellow), nor a mixture of these colors (green).

快要到母亲节了，我想在双春蛇年给我妈妈送一个我属相的十二生肖挂坠，伴她左右。我妈妈是在天干为己，且没有闰月那年出生的。到双春蛇年时，我和我妈妈相差28岁。我应该送我妈妈什么生肖的挂坠？

Mother's Day is coming soon. In the Double Spring Snake Year, I want to gift my mom a pendant of my Chinese zodiac sign to accompany her. My mom was born in a year where the Heavenly Stem is Ji (己) and there was no leap month. By the Double Spring Snake Year, my mom and I will have an age difference of 28 years. What zodiac sign pendant should I gift my mom?
|
English Reasoning:
1. Identify the "Double Spring Snake Year": A "Double Spring" year contains two 'Lichun' (start of spring) solar terms within one lunar year. Snake years occur every 12 years (..., 2001, 2013, 2025, ...). Checking recent/upcoming Snake years: 2013 was not a Double Spring year. 2025 (Yi Si 乙巳) starts Jan 29, 2025, and ends Feb 16, 2026. It contains Lichun on Feb 3, 2025, and Feb 3, 2026. Thus, 2025 is the relevant Double Spring Snake Year.
2. Determine the User's Birth Year and Zodiac Sign: Since "Double Spring Snake Year" is 2025, the user claimed that in 2025, the age difference between the user and her mother will be 28 years, the user was born in 2025 - 28 = 1997.
Identify the User's Zodiac Sign: 1997 corresponds to the Year of the Ox (Ding Chou 丁丑) in the Chinese zodiac cycle (specifically from Feb 7, 1997, to Jan 27, 1998).
Conclusion: The user's zodiac sign is the Ox. They should gift their mother an Ox pendant.
English Final Answer: You should gift your mother an Ox pendant, as your zodiac sign is the Ox (born in 1997).

Ma cousine Marie-Jeanne appartient à la famille du marquis des Isnards, une des plus illustres familles nobles du Comtat Venessin, dont les armes sont "d'or au sautoir de gueule, accompagné de quatre molettes d'azur". Pour lui faire une blague, je voudrais mélanger la devise de sa famille avec celle de notre lointain ancêtre commnun, le frère de saint François de Sales. Quelle est la devise farfelue ainsi réalisée ?

"Qui s'approche, ni plus ni moins."

My cousin Marie-Jeanne belongs to the family of the Marquis des Isnards, one of the most illustrious noble families of Comtat Venaissin, whose coat of arms is "gold with a red saltire, accompanied by four blue mullets." To play a prank on her, I want to mix her family’s motto with that of our distant common ancestor, the brother of Saint François de Sales. What is the resulting absurd motto?
|
"Qui m'approche, ni plus ni moins" ("Whoevers comes nearby, neither more nor less"). This absurd motto combines the des Isnards' motto "Qui m'approche, je le pique ("Whoever comes nearby will be stung") with the de Sales' motto: "Ni plus ni moins" ("neither more nor less").

Julio y María se conocieron en 2025, en la fiesta de la cosecha de Mendoza, Argentina. Ellos asistieron a una celebración religiosa y luego fueron a dos desfiles, uno de día y otro de noche. Si se conocieron en el desfile nocturno, ¿en qué fecha fue?
|
Viernes 7 de marzo de 2025.

Julio and María met in 2025 at the Harvest Festival (Festival de la Cosecha) in Mendoza, Argentina. They attended a religious ceremony and then went to two parades, one during the day and one during the night. If they met at the night parade, on what date was it?
|
English Reasoning: The Mendoza Harvest Festival (Fiesta de la Cosecha or Fiesta de la Vendimia) is organized around three key events: the Blessing of the Fruit (religious ceremony), the Vía Blanca de las Reinas night parade, and El Carrusel day parade, after which the central act is held. In the 2025 celebration, the Blessing of the Fruit was originally announced for March 2nd, but was held on the afternoon of March 1st. The Vía Blanca is a colorful and vibrant parade that takes place on the evening of March 7 along the city's downtown streets, and this year was no exception. The Harvest Carrousel (El Carrusel de la Cosecha) is another significant event which takes place on March 8th in the morning. Thus, Julio and María must have met on Friday night, March 7th, 2025, during the Vía Blanca parade.
English Final Answer: Friday, March 7, 2025.

6. The Pixiu's wrapping paper is more expensive than the silk scarf's.
7. The Shou character vase's wrapping paper is not gilt flower and bird paper.
Please determine each person's gift, corresponding blessing message number, and wrapping paper type based on the clues.
|
English Reasoning:
Let's denote the wrapping papers by price:
P1: 洒金红纸 (Gold-sprinkled red paper) - Most expensive
P2: 鎏金花鸟纸 (Gilt flower and bird paper)
P3: 朱砂染纸 (Cinnabar dyed paper)
P4: 青花瓷纹纸 (Blue and white porcelain pattern paper) - Least expensive
Gifts: Vase, Coin, Pixiu, Scarf.
Blessings: A, B, C, D.
1. Eldest Brother (大哥):
Clue 1: Wrapping paper is the most expensive (P1: 洒金红纸).
Clue 1: Blessing message is specifically about financial luck. Message A (金玉满堂春常在，福星高照岁岁安) mentions "金玉满堂" (A House Full of Gold and Jade). So, Eldest Brother's blessing is A.
2. Wrapping Paper for Younger Sister (小妹) and Me (我):
Clue 3 (Younger Sister): Wrapping paper is not a solid color. P1 (洒金红纸) is taken by Eldest Brother. P3 (朱砂染纸 - Cinnabar dyed paper) is likely a solid color. So, Younger Sister's paper is P2 (鎏金花鸟纸) or P4 (青花瓷纹纸).
Clue 4 (Me): My wrapping paper price is higher than Younger Sister's.
If Younger Sister's paper is P2 (鎏金花鸟纸), my paper would have to be P1. But P1 is taken by Eldest Brother. This is not possible.
Therefore, Younger Sister's paper must be P4 (青花瓷纹纸). This fits her interest in Jiangnan folklore (blue and white porcelain).
My paper is more expensive than P4. The remaining papers are P2 and P3. Both are more expensive than P4.
3. Wrapping Paper for Pixiu and Scarf (Clue 6) & My Gift (Clue 4):
Clue 6: Pixiu's wrapping paper > Scarf's wrapping paper.
The remaining unassigned papers are P2 (鎏金花鸟纸) and P3 (朱砂染纸). We know P2 > P3 in price.
So, Pixiu's wrapping paper is P2 (鎏金花鸟纸), and Scarf's wrapping paper is P4 (青花瓷纹纸).
Clue 4 (Me): My gift is not gold or jade. The options were Vase or Scarf. Since the Scarf is now assigned P3 paper, and My paper is P2 or P3, it's consistent.
If my paper is P2, I would have the Pixiu, but my gift is not Jade. So, My paper must be P3 (朱砂染纸), and My gift is "Shou (寿)" character white porcelain vase. This satisfies Clue 4.
4. Assigning Remaining Papers and Gifts:
Eldest Brother: P1 (洒金红纸).
Younger Sister: P4 (青花瓷纹纸).
Me: P3 (朱砂染纸), Gift: "Shou (寿)" character white porcelain vase.
This leaves P2 (鎏金花鸟纸) for Second Sister. The gift associated with P2 is the Pixiu. So, Second Sister gets the Pixiu with P2 wrapping.
5. Gifts for Eldest Brother and Younger Sister:
Remaining gifts: Scarf, Coin.
Clue 5: Pure gold zodiac coin's blessing has no "福" or "寿". Eldest Brother's blessing is A, So, Eldest Brother can have the Coin.
Therefore, Eldest Brother's gift is the 纯金生肖币 (Coin).
This means Younger Sister's gift is the 万事利真丝丝巾 (Scarf).
6. Checking Clue 7:
The Shou character vase's wrapping paper is not gilt flower and bird paper (P2). Eldest Brother has the Coin, and his paper is P1 (洒金红纸). P1 ≠ P2. This is satisfied.
7. Assigning Blessings:
Eldest Brother: Blessing A (already determined).
Second Sister (Clue 2): Blessing has no "寿". Options D.
Younger Sister (for Pixu, Clue 5): Blessing has no "福" or "寿". Options B and C.
The remaining blessing is B (松风入梦千年韵), which describe the vase. This must be for Me.
Now to assign B and C between Second Sister and Younger Sister:
Second Sister is a jewelry designer. Blessing D (瑞兽镇宅) describe Pixiu, fitting her profession and the Jade Pixiu.
Younger Sister has the Scarf. Blessing C ("锦绣华章迎春风...") is a festive New Year greeting, suitable for a scarf.
So, Second Sister gets Blessing D, and Younger Sister gets Blessing C.
Summary of assignments:
Eldest Brother (大哥):
Gift: 纯金生肖币 (pure gold zodiac coin)
Wrapping Paper: 洒金红纸 (Gold-sprinkled red paper)
Blessing: A
Second Sister (二姐):
Gift: 玉雕貔貅 (Jade Pixiu)
Wrapping Paper: 鎏金花鸟纸 (Gilt flower and bird paper)
Blessing: D
Younger Sister (小妹):
Gift: 万事利真丝丝巾 (Wansili silk scarf)
Wrapping Paper: 青花瓷纹纸 (Blue and white porcelain pattern paper)
Blessing: C
Me (我):
Gift: 寿字瓶 ( "Shou (寿)" character white porcelain vase)
Wrapping Paper: 朱砂染纸 (Cinnabar dyed paper)
Blessing: B
All clues are satisfied with this configuration.
English Final Answer:
Eldest Brother (大哥):
Gift: 纯金生肖币 (pure gold zodiac coin)
Wrapping Paper: 洒金红纸 (Gold-sprinkled red paper)
Blessing: A

Gift: 玉雕貔貅 (Jade Pixiu)

2025年又有节庆活动了！朋友说可以去参加，说不定会遇见心仪的姑娘呢！要我提前准备好民族衣服，买好米酒和竹筒饭，然后去凑个热闹，还有有对歌、跳舞等活动，真有意思，那么这是在公历哪一天呢？

In 2025, there’s another festival coming up! A friend of mine suggested I join in, and who knows, I might just meet someone special! He told me to get ready in advance by preparing traditional ethnic attire, buying glutinous rice wine and bamboo-tube rice, and heading out to join the fun. There will be singing duets, dancing, and all kinds of lively celebrations. Sounds exciting! So, on which date does this take place in the Gregorian calendar?
|
English Reasoning:
1. Cultural Background
- Double Third Festival, also known as San Yue San, literally “the third day of the third lunar month, is a traditional festival celebrated by various ethnic groups in China, especially the Li and Zhuang peoples. Though it shares the same date in the lunar calendar, its customs, symbolism, and historical roots differ across ethnic groups.
2. The Li People's San Yue San
Among the Li people of Hainan, San Yue San is a vibrant celebration that honors ancestral spirits, welcomes new life, and sings praises of love. It’s marked by traditional dress, homemade glutinous rice wine, bamboo-tube rice, group singing (antiphonal singing), and dancing. People gather to celebrate, especially in regions like Changjiang Li Autonomous County and Dongfang City.
3. Zhuang People's San Yue San
The Zhuang people also celebrate San Yue San, known as the Song Fair Festival. It is romantic in nature and features: love songs to express affection, throwing embroidered balls as tokens of love, egg-coloring and bamboo pole dances, and five-colored sticky rice. And this festival is distinct from the one celebrated by the Li people.
Furthermore, the Zhuang and Li version of "San Yue San" is sometimes mistakenly thought to be the same as the Han Chinese's ancient Double Third Festival, which historically fell on the same date but featured different customs, such as: springtime outings, ritual purification in rivers, floating wine cups on curved waterways.
4. Given the prompt: ethnic dress, rice wine, bamboo-tube food, singing, and possibly meeting someone special, the event described is most likely the Li people's "San Yue San" festival. It falls on March 31, 2025.
English answer: March 31, 2025

Mi abuela se casó por segunda vez en Medellín el día de la alborada, donde la primavera es eterna, justo al amanecer. Cuando su aniversario cae en sábado, hacemos un ritual especial desde la noche hasta el amanecer, aprovechando los juegos artificiales de la alborada para celebrar esta unión. Si este año, 2025, cumplirán 10 años de casados. ¿Cuántas veces hemos hecho este ritual hasta hoy?

My grandmother got married for the second time in Medellín on the day of the "alborada" (dawn celebration), where spring is eternal, just at dawn. When her anniversary falls on a Saturday, we do a special ritual from night until dawn, taking advantage of the fireworks of the "alborada" to celebrate this union. If this year, 2025, they will celebrate 10 years of marriage. How many times have we done this ritual until today?
|
English Reasoning: The "alborada" is a traditional festival in the city of Medellín (Colombia), known as the city of eternal spring, which is celebrated on December 1 with fireworks at dawn, marking the beginning of the Christmas season and the end of the year. To know the answer, it is necessary to know how many times December 1st has fallen on a Saturday since 2015 (since this year, which is 2025, will be their 10th wedding anniversary). Thus, considering leap years, December 1st only coincides with one Saturday (2018) during those 10 years.
2015: Tuesday
2016: Thursday (leap year)
2017: Friday
2018: Saturday (ritual)
2019: Sunday
2020: Tuesday (leap year)
2021: Wednesday
2022: Thursday
2023: Friday
