为什么一位勇士躺在床上，他觉得后背很痒，但是他不能翻身挠痒？
|
因为勇士（永世）不得翻身。
|
Why is a warrior (勇士) lying in bed, feeling itchy on his back, but unable to turn over (翻身) to scratch it? (The reasoning relies on a Chinese pun)
|
English Reasoning: The riddle relies on a pun. The warrior ("勇士") is a homophone of forever ("永世") in Chinese. There is a fixed phrase in Chinese, "永世不得翻身", which originally means that there is no chance to start over. It literally means that someone can't turn over in his whole life. So here it means that the warrior can't turn over forever, and couldn't even turn over to scratch his itch.
English Final Answer: Because the knight (homophone of forever) can’t turn over forever.

我看见奶奶家墙上的今年2025年的万年历，让我想到了这年我可以过两次农历生日。
日历写着今天是公历27日，周日。我看了下，日历上写着今天不适合祈福。
今天之后的第11天，我就可以过这年农历的第二个生日了，查看了这一天的吉凶，写着适合出行，我可以出去玩了。

I saw this year's 2025 perpetual calendar on my grandma's wall, which made me realize I can celebrate two lunar birthdays this year. The calendar says today is the 27th of the Gregorian calendar, a Sunday. I checked, and the calendar says today is not suitable for praying. 11 days after today, I can celebrate my second lunar birthday of this year. I checked the auspiciousness for that day, and it says it's suitable for going out, so I can hang out and have fun.
So, on what Gregorian date is my first lunar birthday this year?
|
English Reasoning:
Year and Leap Month: The year is 2025. The fact that the person can celebrate two lunar birthdays means there is a leap lunar month in 2025. A check of the Chinese calendar for 2025 confirms that there is a leap 6th month (闰六月). This means the person's lunar birthday falls on a specific day of the 6th lunar month.
Identifying "Today":
"Today" is a Gregorian 27th and a Sunday.
The second lunar birthday is 11 days after "today". This second birthday occurs in the leap 6th lunar month.
The leap 6th lunar month in 2025 starts on July 25, 2025, and ends on August 22, 2025.
Let's test Gregorian dates that are the 27th of a month and a Sunday in 2025:
April 27, 2025, is a Sunday. 11 days later is May 8, 2025. This date is not within the leap 6th lunar month (July 25 - August 22).
July 27, 2025, is a Sunday. 11 days later is August 7, 2025. This date is within the leap 6th lunar month.
Therefore, "today" is July 27, 2025.
Determining the Lunar Birthday:
The second lunar birthday is on August 7, 2025 (11 days after July 27, 2025).
August 7, 2025, is the 14th day of the leap 6th lunar month (闰六月十四).
This means the person's lunar birthday is on the 14th day of the 6th lunar month.
Calculating the Date of the First Lunar Birthday:
The first lunar birthday is on the 14th day of the normal 6th lunar month (六月十四).
The normal 6th lunar month (六月) in 2025 starts on June 25, 2025 (which is 六月初一, the 1st day of the 6th month).
The 14th day of this month (六月十四) is June 25 + (14 - 1) days = June 25 + 13 days.
June has 30 days. June 25 + 13 days = July 8, 2025.
Therefore, the first lunar birthday in 2025 is on July 8, 2025.
English Final Answer: July 8, 2025

Descifra esta adivinanza: me llaman simple pero soy carnosa, ¡y vaya si estoy sabrosa! ¿Qué soy?
|
Baya.
|
Solve this riddle: They call me simple, but I am fleshy, and boy, am I tasty! What am I? —The translation for the expression "and boy" in Spanish is "¡y vaya!", which also sounds like "baya" (berry in English).
|
English Reasoning: The riddle refers to something "simple" (easy, plain), "fleshy" (having flesh or pulp), and "tasty." Common answers to such descriptions in riddles are certain foods. Also, it is a clear pun in Spanish as the expression "¡y vaya!" ("and boy!") in Spanish also sounds like "baya" (berry). In Spanish riddles, "simple" can also mean "plain," and "carnosa" (fleshy) often refers to texture, usually fruits or vegetables. Combining these clues, a berry (una baya) is the most clear response.
Final Answer: Berry (In Spanish, baya).

A qué se refiere la siguiente adivinanza:
¿Sabes quién soy? Si ya lo escuchaste, no pienses más. Si ya te lo dije, dímelo ya.
|
Silla
|
What does the following riffle refer to?
Do you know who I am? If you already (si ya) heard it, don't think about it anymore. If I already (si ya) told you, tell me now.
The phrases "If I already" or "if you already" in Spanish is said "si ya" which sounds exactly the same as "silla" (in English, chair).
|
English Reasoning: This riddle is a clever play on sound in Spanish. It says: "Do you know who I am? If you already heard it (si ya lo escuchaste), don't think about it anymore. If I already told you (si ya te lo dije), tell me now." The trick is in the phrase "si ya," which sounds exactly like "silla," the Spanish word for "chair."
So when we hear "si ya lo escuchaste" (If you already heard it), it actually sounds like "silla lo escuchaste" meaning "you've heard chair." And "si ya te lo dije" sound's like "silla te lo dije" meaning "I've told you chair."
The riddle hides the answer in plain sight using the homophone. It's saying the word "chair" all along, we just have to hear it.
English Final Answer: Chair (in Spanish "silla")

Si se esconde tras del muro, pero roto alguna vez estuvo. ¿Podrías decirme qué es?
|
Tubo
|
If it hides behind the wall, but broken it once was (estuvo). Can you tell me what it is?
In Spanish, tube is said "tubo".
|
English Reasoning: The riddle talks about something that hides behind a wall, but was once broken. The pun is in the use of the word "estuvo" at the end, which also sounds like "es tubo" (It is a tube in English). Tubes are usually hidden in the walls, and they can sometimes be broken. Considering common objects related to walls that can be broken, a likely candidate is something that was once part of the wall or attached to it. Also, the sound similarity between the words "estuvo" (was) and "es tubo" (is a tube) makes it a funny pun.
Final Answer: Tube (In Spanish, "Tubo")

Quiero mucho a un familiar que empieza por A, vuela y no es un ave. ¿Sabes quién es?
|
Abuela
|
I love a relative who begins with A, flies (In spanish A-Vuela / Abuela) and is not a bird. Do you know who he is?
In spanish, the words A and Vuela (flies) They form the word "Abuela" grandmother.
|
English Reasoning: To solve the riddle, we start with the clues: someone whose word starts with "a," flies (vuela), but isn't a bird. This suggests a play on words rather than a literal meaning. When we say "a, vuela" (a, flies) out loud in Spanish, it sounds just like "abuela" (grandmother). Even though there's a comma in writing, when spoken, it blends into a single word. So, "abuela" (grandmother) fits all the clues; her name starts with "a," she "flies" (vuela) through the pun, and she's not a bird.
English Final Answer: Grandmother (in Spanish mean, "abuela").

|
Why did someone with the surname Zhang and someone with the surname Wang had an argument, after which Zhang said "From now on, I'll be in the east and you'll be in the west"?

English Final Answer: "东张西望" (to look around, dōng zhāng xī wàng) is homophone as "东张西王" (Zhang in the east, Wang in the west, dōng zhāng xī wáng).

|
Sobras.
|
When you go to the construction sites ("a las obras") tomorrow, take what's in the refrigerator. What are you taking with you?
In Spanish, the words "las obras" (constructions sites) sound exactly like "las sobras" (leftovers).
|
English reasoning: By asking to take what's in the refrigerator tomorrow when going to the construction sites ("las obras") there is a wordplay, because it sounds exactly like "las sobras" (leftovers). So the riddle is to find out that what the person needs to take to the construction sites ("las obras"), and is also in the fridge, should be leftovers ("las sobras").
English Final Answer: Leftovers (Sobras).

为什么说如果神仙不来出席宴会，皇后就不肯参加呢？
|
因为“仙来后到”。
|
Why is it said that if no Fairies (仙 - xian) attend the banquet, the Empress (皇后 - Hoanghou) would refuse to show up?
|
English Reasoning: Because of the pun: “仙来后到” (xiān lái hòu dào) means “When the immortals arrive (xiān lái), only then will the Empress (hòu dào) arrive afterward.”
This pun originates from the Chinese idiom “先来后到” (xiān lái hòu dào), which describes the natural order of first-come, later-arrive. However, in this case: “先” (xiān, meaning “first”) is replaced with “仙” (xiān, meaning “Fairies”), as they are homophones. “后” (hòu) not only means “afterward,” but also refers to the “Empress” (皇后).
English Final Answer: The sequence of events could be interpreted as "the Empress only comes after the Fairies attends the banquet," ("仙来后到"), which is a homophone for "先来后到," a Chinese idiom meaning "first come, first served")

脑筋急转弯：为什么蛇会和老鼠会生活在同一个地方？
|
蛇鼠一窝
|
Solve the brain teaser: Why do snakes and mice live in the same place? The answer requires the use of a Chinese proverb.
|
English Reasoning: This riddle relies on a Chinese idiom "蛇鼠一窝" (shé shǔ yī wō), which literally translates to "snakes and rats in the same den." The idiom metaphorically describes collaborators in wrongdoing, implying they share a hidden or corrupt connection. The answer plays on this cultural reference.
English Final Answer: Because according to the Chinese proverb "蛇鼠一窝," they share the same den (referencing the idiom about collusion).

Voy a explicar con más detalle lo que es un plano paralelo. ¿Quién no entendió la explicación?
|
Lelo.
|
I am going to explain in more detail what a parallel (paralelo) plane is. Who did not understand the explanation?
In Spanish, 'paralelo' (parallel) can be split into 'para lelo' (for lelo).
'Lelo' is the hypocoristic of names such as 'Rafael' or 'Aurelio'.
|
English reasoning: the sentence 'explicar con más detalle lo que es un plano paralelo' (explain in more detail what a parallel plane is) turns into 'explicar con más detalle lo que es un plano para Lelo' if 'paralelo' (parallel) is split. Therefore, the translation of this final sentence means (explain in more detail what a plane (or blueprint) is for Lelo'.
English final answer: Lelo (In spanish, Lelo is the hypocoristic of names such as 'Rafael' or 'Aurelio.

El año pasado, 2024, mis dos mejores amigos se hicieron novios en el Municipio Zamora, Aragua, justo en el día de su patrono. ¿Si hoy estamos a 7 de mayo de 2025, me puedes decir cuanto tiempo exacto llevan siendo novios?
|
7 meses y 3 días
|
Last year, 2024, my two best friends became a couple in Zamora Municipality, Aragua, right on the day of its patron saint. If today is May 7, 2025, can you tell me exactly how long they have been a couple?
|
English Reasoning: To solve this problem, I need to determine when the patron saint Day of Zamora Municipaloty in Aragua is celebrated, since that's when the couple formed. The patron saint of Zamora Municipality in Aragua, Venezuela, is San Francisco de Asís, whose feast day is celebrated on October 4. So they became a couple on October 4, 2024. Now I can calculate the time from October 4, 2024, to May 7, 2025:
-From October 4, 2024, to May 4, 2025, there are 7 months. And from May 4 to today (May 7) there are 3 days. So, the final result is 7 months and 3 days.
English Final Answer: 7 months and 3 days (in Spanish, "7 meses y 3 días").

Prompt Translation to English: Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. My mom called me and said that this year, our family will get up early to queue for some famous fresh meat mooncakes. They also said they plan to take me to Chenghuang Temple (Yu Garden) for some snacks. Do you know what day is Little New Year's Eve for my hometown in 2025?
|
English Reasoning: Based on the context, the user is from a region in China that celebrates "Little New Year's Eve" (小年夜). In most parts of China, "Little New Year's Eve" refers to the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, that is, the 29th day of the twelfth month in the lunar calendar (除夕的前一天). In 2025, Chinese New Year's Eve falls on January 28, 2025, so Little New Year's Eve would be on January 27, 2025. Some areas, like parts of southern China, call Chinese New Year's Eve as "小年夜", so if the person is from Shanghai (which is hinted by mentions of city god temple and fresh meat mooncakes), then 小年夜 is usually two days before Lunar New Year's Day.
English Final Answer: In 2025, Little New Year's Eve (小年夜) for your hometown, which is likely Shanghai, falls on January 27, 2025.

In 2024, I am abroad. Today, I should have gone to celebrate the festival with my grandparents. But I can't go back. I thought of a poem fitting the scene of today, "遍插茱萸少一人" (Dogwood inserted everywhere but missing one person). I really want to go home for the New Year. How many days are left until Chinese New Year's Eve?
|
English Reasoning:
1. The user is expressing homesickness while abroad in 2024, referencing today is a festival which should accompany grandparents, traditionally it is the Double Ninth Festival, because the Chinese government officially designates the ninth day of the ninth lunar calendar as "China Senior Citizens' Day". In addtion, a Wang Wei's famous Tang dynasty Chinese poem "遍插茱萸少一人" is mentioned to suit for the occasion of today. The poem's name is "On Double Ninth Day Thinking of My Brothers" (九月九日忆山东兄弟). Therefore, today is Double Ninth Festival, the ninth day of the ninth month in Chinese lunar calendar, which is 11st October 2024 Gregorian calendar.
2. The specific question is about the number of days remaining until Chinese New Year's Eve (除夕), which is traditionally in the January or February. Becasue the Chinese New Year's Eve (除夕) of 2024 has been gone, so the user is asking the next Chinese New Year's Eve (除夕), which is 28th January 2025.
3. To determine the number of days remaining, we need to calculate the difference between today's date (11st October 2024) and 28th January 2025.
Calculation:
Days left in October 2024: 31 - 11 = 20 days
Days in November 2024: 30 days
Days in December 2024: 31 days
Days in January 2025 until the 28th: 28 days
Total days = 20 + 30 + 31 + 28 = 109 days.
English Final Answer: There are 106 days left until Chinese New Year's Eve (28th January 2025).

A mi hermano le encanta viajar y conocer su país, pero no puede viajar en cualquier fecha. Su jefe solo le permite viajar entre el día nacional del lago de Ilopango y el día del perito forense salvadoreño. Este año 2025, ya viajó y los próximos dos estará ocupado, pero quiere empezar a planear las próximas vacaciones. Debido a su trabajo, solo puede descansar los lunes, ¿qué día podría viajar?

My brother loves to travel and get to know his country, but he can't travel on any date. His boss only allows him to travel between the National Day of Lake Ilopongo and the Day of the Salvadoran Forensic Expert. This year, 2025, he already traveled and will be busy for the next two years, but he wants to start planning the next vacation. Due to his work, he can only rest on Mondays. What day could he travel?
|
English Reasoning: The key is to identify the dates of the two holidays. The national day of Lake Ilopongo is celebrated on March 12, and the Salvadoran Forensic Expert's Day is on March 18. The next possible holiday is three years from now, which would be 2028. The brother can only travel on Mondays between these dates, and the Monday between March 12 and March 18 in 2028 is on March 13th.

|
English Reasoning: The 22nd Zacatecas International Street Theater Festival, 2025 ("this year"), runs from Saturday, October 11 through Saturday, October 18. The only Sunday-Monday pair within the festival is October 12 (Sunday) and October 13 (Monday). To attend those two days, you should arrive on Sunday, October 12, and stay through Monday, October 13. Since you can only be there for two days, you need just one hotel night. You should book it for Sunday, October 12.

|
My great-grandfather was born in 1910, one day after the birthday of the man who was President of Venezuela at the time when the Gran Estado Falcón Zulia was dissolved. Could you tell me what day my great-grandfather's birthday was?
|
English Reasoning: To determine the great-grandfather's birthday, we need to follow these steps:
1. Identify when the Gran Estado Falcón Zulia was dissolved. Historical records show it was dissolved by decree on April 1, 1890.
2. Identify who was the president of Venezuela on April 1, 1890. The president at that time was Raimundo Andueza Palacio, whose presidential term began in March 1890.
3. Find the birthday (day and month) of President Raimundo Andueza Palacio. He was born on February 6, 1846, so his birthday is February 6th.
4. The prompt states the great-grandfather was born one day after the birthday of this president. Therefore, his birthday (day and month) is one day after February 6th, which is February 7th.
English Final Answer: February 7th (in Spanish, "7 de febrero").

The even years during this period are 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2020. Therefore, the event occurred 4 times while she lived there. However, she missed the event in 2016 and for 2020, the Concurs de Castells was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. So, the total number of times she saw the performance is 4 (total occurrences) -1 (missed occurrence) -1 (cancelled due to the pandemic) = 2 times.

我正在帮哥哥办理婚事，尤其是过大礼，这是我们广东老家的结婚习俗，也是非常重要的一环。在过大礼当天，新郎方的亲友一共来了17人，女方则有22位亲友，气氛非常热闹。我们准备了完整的聘礼，包括礼金、礼品以及象征性意义的传统物品，礼金数额是根据双方事前商量好的标准来准备的，女方也进行了回礼。我想请问，我们是否在过大礼的过程中犯了什么禁忌？

I am assisting my brother with wedding preparations, particularly the Grand Gift Ceremony ("过大礼"), a vital custom in our Guangdong hometown. On this day, 17 relatives and friends from the groom's side joined, while the bride's side had 22 attendees, creating a lively atmosphere. We prepared complete betrothal gifts, including cash, traditional symbolic items, and other presents, with the cash amount pre-agreed by both families. The bride’s family also reciprocated with gifts. Did we violate any taboos during the Guo Da Li process?
|
English Reasoning: The Guo Da Li ceremony was executed well according to Guangdong customs, featuring agreed-upon gift money, complete gifts, and return gifts. However, the groom's side had 17 attendees—an odd number, which could be considered a minor taboo in traditional families, as even numbers are preferred for auspicious events.
English Final Answer: The groom's side had 17 attendees, an odd number that is considered a minor taboo in traditional families.

I recently chatted with classmates and discovered that they drink their Laba porridge sweet—but in my home it’s not sweet; we also add a kind of seasoning that most other regions don’t understand. On the Double Ninth Festival we climb a mountain whose name has three characters, and the name seems related to a dyed food eaten at another festival that northerners don’t eat. Which city am I from?
|
English Reasoning: In Sichuan (notably Chengdu), Laba porridge is traditionally savory or even spicy, with local condiments like pickled mustard tubers or chili oil, unlike the sweet version common elsewhere. On Chongyang (Double Ninth) people locally ascend Qingchengshan (青城山), a three-character name containing 青 (qing), which reminds one of qingtuan (青团), the green rice dumplings eaten at Qingming that northerners seldom have. That points to Chengdu.
English Final Answer: Chengdu

Prompt Translation to English: Chinese New Year is approaching. My family has prepared various kinds of meat and seafood for the reunion dinner on Lunar New Year’s Eve. Also, I heard there will be two Beginning-of-Spring solar terms this year (double spring year, "双春年"). Today happens to be the first day of this year, and I, born in 1994, am approaching 30 years old. How many days are left until Lunar New Year’s Eve?
|
English Reasoning: The prompt asks for the remaining days until Chinese New Year's Eve.
Identify today's date: The prompt states "Today happens to be the first day of this year", which means today is January 1st.
Identify the current year: The user mentions being born in 1994 and approaching 30. This strongly implies the current year is around 2024 (since 2024 - 1994 = 30). Also, the prompt states there will be two Beginning of Spring solar terms this year, meaning double spring year. The nearest "double spring year" around 2024 is 2025 and 2023. Therefore, this year is 2023, and the actual age in 2023 is 29 years old (30 years old in lunar age), which meets the description of "approaching 30 years old"
Lunar New Year’s Eve for the 2023 Chinese New Year falls on January 21, 2023. Counting from January 1 to January 21 yields 20 days total.
English Final Answer: 20 days

Today, I participated in a poetry contest at school and realized how deeply cultural meanings are woven into the lines of classical Chinese poetry! Here are two verses:
"Dressed in light robes, riding fine horses, the youth of spring set out; In single file, they move across the ferry crossing at the crossroads" ("轻衫细马春年少，十字津头一字行")
"Long have I blended turnip greens and mustard into southern soups; But on this festive day, the mud lies deep — no one can venture out" ("久将崧芥芼南羹，佳节泥深人未行")
Can you guess which day on the Gregorian calendar these lines point to in the year 2025?
Note:
These lines come from two poems titled:
1. On the Second Day of the Second Lunar Month;
2. Unable to Go Out During the Vegetable-Picking Festival on the Second Day of the Second Lunar Month Due to Heavy Rain.
|
English Reasoning:
1. Background:
- Longtaitou, also called Dragon Raises Head Festival: On the second day of the second lunar month, Chinese people celebrate the mythical awakening of the dragon — a symbol of rain, growth, and spring renewal. It marks the time when insects stir, seeds are sown, and nature begins to revive. Hence, the day also signals the beginning of the farming season.
- Tiaocai Festival, means "Vegetable-Picking Festival", it's the same as Longtaitou, just a different name for it: Especially in southern China, this day is for picking wild greens (like shepherd’s purse) — a spring tonic believed to "clear internal heat" and restore energy after winter.
- On the Longtaitou Day, also the "Spring Outing Day" or "Vegetable-Picking Festival" in the south, Chinese people celebrate the symbolic awakening of spring. "Spring Outings" were traditional activities especially popular since the Tang dynasty. Families or groups of youths would go to the countryside to enjoy the fresh greenery, breathe new air, and collect wild herbs. It was believed to dispel illnesses and bring good fortune. The ritual of walking outdoors ("to trample green") was both physical and spiritual, aligning with seasonal health practices.
2. Poems
- "Dressed in light robes, riding fine horses, the youth of spring set out; In single file, they move across the ferry crossing at the crossroads." Title: On the Second Day of the Second Lunar Month.
This line is from a poem by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty, depicting the vibrant scene of young people enjoying the early spring. The poet uses vivid imagery: light spring clothing, elegant horses, and the line of travelers moving, suggesting a seasonal festivity. The setting is the second day of the second lunar month, when people begin spring outings.
- "Long have I blended turnip greens and mustard into southern soups; But on this festive day, the mud lies deep — no one can venture out." Title: Unable to Go Out During the Vegetable-Picking Festival on the Second Day of the Second Lunar Month Due to Heavy Rain.
This poem by Zhang Lei, a Song Dynasty scholar, describes the same festival from a different angle. It’s raining heavily during the day, making roads muddy and impassable. The poet recalls flavors of spring herbs like mustard greens and bok choy, which are supposed to be picked on this day. The poem expresses longing for spring activities that cannot be enjoyed due to the weather.
The titles of both poems specify the second day of the second lunar month.
3. In 2025, the second day of the second lunar month falls on March 1, 2025 (Saturday).
English Final Answer: March 1, 2025

在重阳节那天，老师请我们四位同学各自带来一种寓意独特的传统糕点，以弘扬中华传统文化节日。四种糕点分别是：重阳节传统花糕，桂花糕，枣糕和栗糕。
每个人带来的糕点是唯一对应的，请根据以下线索进行推理：
1. 小美从来不张扬，但她总带着一串银白发卡，说是奶奶送给她的。她曾说：“有些人就像老树，深根固本，静静地陪你长大。”她带来的糕点也像是她说话的语气，不甜不腻，却沉稳有力。
2. 小军学习成绩起伏不定，却常常在桌角贴着励志建言箴言。他最近在练习书法，写了一句“风起于青萍之末，一步登天非妄想”。
3. 小芳酷爱收藏香薰。她最喜欢的秋天的夜晚，曾说：“有时我觉得，香气能够穿越时空”。
4. 我最近遇到了一些人生挑战，母亲递给我一样颜色深沉的点心，说“这个味道不见得人人喜欢，但是它的力量会慢慢渗入心里”。

At the Chongyang Festival, our teacher invited four students to bring traditional steamed cakes with unique symbolic meanings to celebrate Chinese cultural heritage. The four steamed cakes were: Steamed multilayer rice cake, Osmanthus rice cake, Steamed jujube cake, Steamed chestnut cake.
Each person brought a unique type of cake. Please deduce who brought which one based on the clues below.
1. Xiaomei is never showy but always wears a silver hairpin from her grandmother. She once said, "Some people are like old trees—deep-rooted and steadfast, quietly watching you grow." Her steamed cake reflects her demeanor: not overly sweet but substantial and grounding.
2. Xiaojun's academic performance fluctuates, but he often posts motivational quotes on his desk. Recently, he practiced calligraphy with the phrase: "Winds rise from the edges of duckweed; reaching the sky in one step isn’t delusion."
3. Xiaofang loves collecting scented candles. Her favorite autumn evenings inspire her to say, "Sometimes I feel fragrances can transcend time."
4. I've been facing some challenges in life lately, and my mother handed me something dark-hued and said, "This flavor isn’t for everyone, but its strength will seep into your heart slowly."
|
English Reasoning:
- Xiaomei has a deep connection with her grandmother and from her words, we can feel that she loves things that have a certain length of history. Combined with the clue that the steamed cake she brings reflects her demeanor, which is "not overly sweet but substantial and grounding," we can tell that she is bringing Steamed multilayer rice cake: the different layers are indeed substantial and the rice cake is usually consumed during Double Ninth festival, a festival that is about filial duty and respecting the elderly.
- Xiaofang: The hobby of collecting scented candles reflects her love for scents, especially floral scents, which aligns with Osmanthus. Osmanthus rice cake has a very pleasant floral scent and is likely Xiaofang's choice.
- Me: not everyone likes chestnut cake and it's a strong taste. Also, it's dark-hued, and it's the only dark-hued among the four.
We can then deduce that Xiaojun brought Steamed jujube cake.
English Final Answer:
Xiaomei: Steamed multilayer rice cake
Xiaojun: Steamed jujube cake
Xiaofang: Osmanthus rice cake
Me: Steamed chestnut cake

Una noche del día del patron en las fiestas grandes de Sarria del año 2023 hacía frío y me llevé una chaqueta. Luego al día siguiente hacía calor, la guardé y no pude volver a encontrarla. Al año siguiente, cuando iba a guardar la ropa de invierno, la econtré cuando dice el refrán que ya se puede uno quitar el sayo. ¿Cuántos meses y días ha estado desaparecida?
|
11 meses y 15 días.
|
Prompt translation to English: One night during the patron saint's day celebrations in the big festivals of Sarria in 2023, it was cold and I took a jacket. Then the next day it was hot, I put it away and could not find it again. The following year, when I was going to store the winter clothes, I found it when the saying goes that one can already take off the 'sayo' (coat). How many months and days has it been missing?
|
English Reasoning: The patron saint's day of Sarria is June 24th. If the jacket was missed the next day then, it was June 25th. The jacket was found the following year, which is 2024.
The Spanish saying says 'Hasta el cuarenta de mayo no quites el sayo' (until the fortieth of May do not take off your coat), May has 31 days, therefore, the 40th of May is the 9th of June (40-31 = 9).
Therefore, the jacket was lost on June 25 and it was found on June 9. As a result, from June 25, 2023 to May 25, 2024 there are 11 months and, from May 25 to June 9 there are 15 days (31-25 = 6 from May and 9 of June).
As a result, the jacket has been missing 11 months and 15 days.
English Final Answer: 11 months and 15 days.

En mi familia nos encanta jugar a la lotería tradicional mexicana los sábados por las noches. De esas 54 cartas, algunas son frutas, personas, animales o prendas, por ejemplo. Dime cuántas cartas hay si sumamos las de frutas y las de prendas de vestir.

|
In my family, we love playing the traditional Mexican lottery on Saturday nights. Out of those 54 cards, some are fruits, people, animals or clothing items, for example. Tell me how many cards there are if we add the fruit and clothing cards together.
|
English Reasoning: The Mexican lottery deck has 54 cards. The task is to find the sum of cards that are fruits and cards that are "prendas de vestir" (articles of clothing/garments).
First let's identify the fruit cards:
"El melón" (the melon)
"La pera" (The Pear)
"La sandía" (the watermelon)
There are 3 fruit cards.
Next, let's identify the "prendas de vestir" (articles of clothing/garments) cards:
"El gorrito" (the little hat/cap). This is an article of clothing worn on the head.
"La bota" (the boot). This is an article of footwear, thus clothing.
"La corona" (the crown). This is an item of attire worn on the head, considered a garment or part of dress.
"El paraguas" (the umbrella) is an accessory that is carried, and not strictly a "prenda de vestir" (garment worn on the body).
Therefore, there are 3 "prendas de vestir" cards.
The total number of cards is the sum of the fruit cards and the "prendas de vestir" cards:
Total= 3(fruit cards) + 3(clothing item cards)= 6
English Final Answer: 6

Cuando era pequeña, toda la familia se reunía a ver un programa de televisión que dirigía un señor que siempre decía "aún hay más". Mi hermano mayor, que nació en marzo, tenía 10 años cuando el programa realizó su primera transmisión. Yo tenía 3 años menos que mi hermano. Si estamos en el mes de mayo actualmente, ¿cuántos años tiene mi hermano ahora?
|
66 años.
|
When I was a little girl, the whole family would get together to watch a television program hosted by a man who always said, "there's more to come". My older brother, who was born in March, was 10 years old when the program first aired. I was 3 years younger than my brother. If it is currently May, how old is my brother now?
|
English Reasoning: Identify the TV show and its start date: The catchphrase "aún hay más" (there's still more to come) is famously associated with Raúl Velasco's show "Siempre en Domingo" (Always on Sunday).
This show first aired on December 14, 1969.
Determine the brother's birth year: The brother was 10 years old when the show first aired in December 1969. This means he turned 10 during the year 1969. Therefore, he was born in 1969–10 = 1959.
Determine the brother's birth month: The prompt states he was born in March. So his birthdate is in March 1959.
Determine the current date context: The prompt states the current month is May. Since we are in 2025, the current month is May 2025.
Calculate the brother's current age: The brother was born in March 1959. The current date is May 2025. Since his birthday in March has already passed in the current year (May comes after March), his age is the difference between the current year and his birth year.
Age calculation: 2025–1959 = 66.
The information about the narrator being 3 years younger is irrelevant to finding the brother's current age.
English Final Answer: The brother is 66 years old now.

Mi prima Gaby se casó en un día de la Virgen del Rosario de Talpa. Al siguiente día de la boda, hicieron La ruta del Peregrino, en honor a la Virgen, iniciando en el pueblo de Coastecomate. Un día después de que terminó la peregrinación, se fueron de luna de miel a Cancún. ¿Qué día salieron para Cancún?
|
el 14 de octubre.
|
My cousin Gaby got married on the day of Our Lady of the Rosary of Talpa. The next day after the wedding, they made the Pilgrim's Route ("La ruta del Peregrino"), in honor of the Virgin, starting in the town of Coastecomate. The day after the pilgrimage ended, they went on their honeymoon to Cancun. What day did they leave for Cancun?
|
English Reasoning: Let's break it down step by step:
Gaby got married on the day of the Virgin of Rosario de Talpa.
The day after the wedding, they did The Pilgrim's Route ("La ruta del Peregrino"), a tour that passes through different municipalities and is experienced as a journey of faith and devotion, intended to experience moments of family unity and gratitude toward the Virgin. So, they started the pilgrimage the day after the wedding.
They started the pilgrimage from the town of Coastemate. This is key information because the route, from this town, lasts 6 days.
One day after the pilgrimage ended, they left for Cancun.
The day of Our Lady of Rosario de Talpa is October 7th (though the exact date isn't explicitly mentioned, this is a known celebration). Therefore, Gaby got married on October 7th:
- The wedding was on October 7th.
- They started The Pilgrim's Route ("La ruta del Peregrino") on October 8th.
- They finished the pilgrimage on October 13th (6 days later).
- They left for Cancun one day after it ended, October 14.
English Final Answer: October 14.

I remember my Cantonese classmate mentioned that they use a specific plant to boil water for bathing during the Lunar New Year, but I forgot the name of the plant. Can you tell me what it is and the reason behind it? Please focus on the most common one.
|
English Reasoning: The user is aksing about a custom in Guangdong (Canton) during Chinese New Year, which involves bathing with water boiled with a specific plant, which is believed to be able to cleanse bad luck and bring good fortune for the new year. The most common plant used for this purpose in Guangdong is Pomelo leaves. This is because its fragrance and auspicious symbolism.
English Final Answer: The plant your Cantonese classmate was likely referring to is Pomelo leaves (碌柚叶，pronounced as "luk yau yip" in Cantonese). It's a very common tradition in Guangdong and Hong Kong to bathe with water boiled with pomelo leaves on Chinese New Year's Eve to wash away bad luck and bring the good luck to the upcoming new year. This is because "碌柚” and "禄佑“, meaning "good fortune" and "blessing", are homophones.

现在是2023年，古人用“桃花开蜀锦，鹰老化春鸠。”来感叹这个的节气。而我却最爱的月份是我的农历生日月，是诗经里所提到的“七月流火”伊始。那么距离我最爱的月份还有多少个月呢？

Now it is the year 2023, and the ancients used the phrase “Peach blossoms bloom like Sichuan brocade, the old eagle transforms into a spring dove” to sigh over this solar term. Yet my favorite month is my lunar birthday month, which is the beginning of “July flows with fire” as mentioned in the Book of Songs. How many months remain until my favorite month?
|
English Reasoning: The phrase “Peach blossoms bloom like Sichuan brocade, the old eagle transforms into a spring dove” correspond to the third phase of the Jingzhe (Awakening of Insects) solar term, which begins around early March. In 2023 that falls within the second month of the lunar calendar. The beginning of the “July flows with fire” marks the seventh lunar month. Counting from the second to the seventh lunar month gives 7 - 2 = 5 months.
English Final Answer: 5 months.

By using some seemingly positive statements, the user's friend is actually mocking the blind date and stating that he's posing and that he doesn't actually have money. The sarcastic attitude shows that she doesn't really like the guy and is just using flattering statements to mock.

Estaba en el parque dando un paseo. De repente, escuché que había un alboroto, al parecer había una pelea en medio de la calle. Observé a mi alrededor y había varias personas:
—En el medio de la calle había un hombre observando.
—Al otro lado de la calle había una señora con su celular.
—A lo lejos, se veía una mina cerca de un árbol.
—Al lado de esa mina estaba un niño jugando.
¿Quién de los mencionados corre más peligro?
|
El hombre.
|
I was in the park taking a walk. Suddenly, I heard a commotion, apparently there was a fight in the middle of the street. I looked around and there were several people:
—In the middle of the street, there was a man watching.
—On the other side of the street, there was a lady with her cell phone.
—In the distance, a girl ("mina") could be seen near a tree.
—Next to that girl ("mina") was a child playing.
Who among those mentioned is in the most danger?
|
English Reasoning: The man is explicitly described as being "in the middle of the street" where the fight is taking place or nearby. This location puts him at risk of damage, either from fighting or from passing vehicles.
On the other hand, in some regions "mina" means woman or girl, so it refers to the fact that there was a girl far away from the situation and a boy playing nearby. Because they are far away, they are not in danger. Although the word "mina" can be confused with an explosive mine, it is mentioned at the beginning that what was observed were several people, this clarifies and indicates that it is a woman.
Due to the man's proximity to the violent conflict, he is the person most at risk at that moment.
English Final Answer: The man.

B: "I sleep very late, but I don’t want a back scrub. I’ll shower ("冲凉") first when entering the room."
C: "What is their ("伊拉," Shanghainese for "they/them/their") time No scrubbing, just rinse and sleep. We have to wake up early tomorrow."
D: "Hahaha, stop teasing them, 老乡 (fellow townsfolk, likely northern China dialect). I’m a night owl too. I’ll room with 老妹 (younger sister, likely northeastern China dialect) to hang out. Let’s tidy up and go in."
|
English Reasoning:
A mentions a "scrub towel," common in northern bath culture, suggesting Heilongjiang.
B uses "冲凉" (shower), a term often used in Guangdong. They also refuse scrubbing, so they cannot room with A.
C uses "伊拉" (Shanghainese for "they") and rejects scrubbing, indicating Shanghai.
D calls someone “老乡”(fellow townsfolk) don't teasing them implying that people in the south don't dare to scrub their bodies, so D and A are “老乡”(fellow townsfolk). And from the words "fellow townsfolk" and "老妹“old sister), we can infer that D, like A, is from Heilongjiang.
D, a night owl, pairs with B (also late sleeper), leaving A (Heilongjiang) and C (Shanghai) to room together.
English Final Answer: A is from Heilongjiang, B is from Guangdong, C is from Shanghai, D is from Heilongjiang; D rooms with B and A rooms with C.

Mi hijo, que es un poco vengativo, como le castigué sin ver la televisión, aprovechó un rato que yo no estaba en el salón y le puso contraseña a los canales. Junto al mando, me dejó una nota con pistas para averiguarla. ¿Puedes decirme cuál es la contraseña? La nota decía:
Yo no podré ver la televisión, pero tú, hasta que no resuelvas esto tampoco. ¿Serás capaz de averiguar la contraseña?
La primera pista que te doy es que son 4 números.
El primero es la cantidad de tildes de la primera línea que he escrito.
El segundo es la cantidad de palabras llanas de la frase anterior a esta.
El tercero es el número de verbos que hay en la primera línea de esta nota.
El cuarto es el número de sustantivos en femenino de la frase anterior.

My son, who is a bit vindictive, since I punished him by not letting him watch television, took advantage of a moment when I wasn’t in the living room and set a password on the channels. Next to the remote, he left me a note with clues to figure it out. Can you tell me what the password is? The note said:
I won’t be able to watch television, but you, until you solve this, neither will you. Will you be able to figure out the password? ("Yo no podré ver la televisión, pero tú, hasta que no resuelvas esto tampoco. ¿Serás capaz de averiguar la contraseña?")
The first clue I give you is that it consists of 4 numbers. ("La primera pista que te doy es que son 4 números").
The first is the number of accent marks (In Spanish, the term “tilde” usually refers to accent marks on the stressed syllable without including the ‘virgulilla’ or accent mark on the “ñ”, so this would not be counted.) in the first line I wrote. ("El primero es la cantidad de tildes de la primera línea que he escrito").
The second is the number of "llanas" (paroxytone) words in the sentence before this one. ("El segundo es la cantidad de palabras llanas de la frase anterior a esta").
The third is the number of verbs in the first line of this note. ("El tercero es el número de verbos que hay en la primera línea de esta nota").
The fourth is the number of feminine nouns in the previous sentence.”("El cuarto es el número de sustantivos en femenino de la frase anterior").
|
English Reasoning:
1. Count of accent marks in the first line, in Spanish, the term "tilde" (accent mark) usually refers to accent marks on the stressed syllable without including the "virgulilla" or accent mark on the "ñ", so this would not be counted: "podré"(I will be able to), "televisión" (tv), "tú"(you), "serás"(will be)->4
2. Count of "llanas" (paroxytone) words in the sentence "El primero es la cantidad…" (the first is the number…): "primero" (masculine first), "tildes" (accents), "primera" (feminine first), "escrito" (written) ->4
3Count of verbs in the first line: "podré" (I will be able to), "ver" (see), "resuelvas"(solve), "serás" (will be), "averiguar"(figure out)"->5
4. Count of feminine nouns in the sentence "El tercero es..." (the third is...): "línea" (line), "nota" (note)->2
English Final Answer: 4452

Mon premier se prononce comme un verbe qui unit les cœurs, mais sans sa dernière lettre.
Mon second se prononce comme le liquide qui serpente dans la Loire.
Mon dernier se prononce comme une boisson chaude consommée dans le monde entier et produite localement dans les Cévennes.
Mon tout renversé est un instrument de musique.
|
"Mot."
|
My first sounds like a French verb that unites hearts but without its last letter.
My second is pronounced in French like the liquid that flows through the Loire.
My last sounds like a hot beverage consumed worldwide and produced locally in the Cévennes.
My whole, when reversed, is a musical instrument.
|
It is the French word "mot" (word).
My first is the French letter M, pronounced “em,” which sounds like “aime” (the French verb aimer, meaning “to love” or “unite hearts,” without its last letter). My second is the French letter O, pronounced “oh,” matching the sound of “eau” (the French word for water). My last is the French letter T, pronounced “té,” a homophone of “thé” (tea), the hot beverage famously grown in France’s Cévennes region. Together, these letters form “mot,” the French word for “word,” which, when reversed, becomes “tom,” the name of a drum (such as the tom-tom).

He venido a una competencia de la universidad que han hecho para conmemorar la apertura de una nueva cátedra de literatura. Mi amigo Jackson ha decidido participar en uno de los concursos, el cual consiste en escribir la mayor cantidad de diptongos e hiatos en un tiempo determinado. Me dio mucha curiosidad porque se enfrentaba a Sara, la chica más lista de la universidad, así que decidí presenciar la competición.
Antes de empezar, se asignó la categoría que le correspondía a cada uno. A Jackson le tocó escribir diptongos y a Sara le tocó escribir hiatos. A continuación te dejo lo que escribió cada uno de ellos.
Jackson:
"Yo soy un aviador que ama volar porque cuando estoy en el cielo veo las nubes pasar. La tierra es mi hogar y el aire el lugar donde puedo soñar".
Sara:
"Ayer fue un día lleno de alegría, con mis hermanos estuve en el zoológico en la mañana y por la tarde me senté a leer en un parque. A lo lejos vi que en un árbol había una oruga que se iba a caer al suelo, pero no lo hizo. Finalmente, fui en la noche al teatro".
Aún no han dicho quién es el ganador, pero la curiosidad me mata. Cuenta el número de palabras que cada uno de los participantes escribió y que pertenecen a la categoría que se les asignó y dime quién de los dos terminó ganando y con cuantos puntos.
|
Jackson con 8 puntos.

I have come to a university competition that they have held to commemorate the opening of a new chair of literature. My friend Jackson has decided to participate in one of the contests, which consists of writing the most diphthongs and hiatuses in a given amount of time. I was very curious because he was up against Sara, the smartest girl at the university, so I decided to watch the competition.
Before we started, everyone was assigned their category. Jackson got to write diphthongs and Sara got to write hiatuses. Below I leave you with what each of them wrote.
Jackson:
"I am an aviator who loves to fly because when I am in the sky I watch the clouds go by. The earth is my home and the air the place where I can dream."
(Spanish translation: "Yo soy un aviador que ama volar porque cuando estoy en el cielo veo las nubes pasar. La tierra es mi hogar y el aire el lugar donde puedo soñar").
Sara:
"Yesterday was a day full of joy, with my brothers I was at the zoo in the morning and in the afternoon I sat reading in a park. In the distance I saw that in a tree there was a caterpillar that was going to fall to the ground, but it did not. Finally, I went in the evening to the theater."
(Spanish translation: "Ayer fue un día lleno de energía, con mis hermanos estuve en el zoológico en la mañana y por la tarde me senté a leer en un parque. A lo lejos vi que en un árbol había una oruga que se iba a caer al suelo, pero no lo hizo. Finalmente, fui en la noche al teatro").
They haven't said who the winner is yet, but curiosity is killing me. Count the number of words each of the participants wrote that belong to the category they were assigned and tell me who of the two ended up winning and with how many points.
|
English Reasoning: To determine the winner, we need to count the number of words written by Jackson that contain diphthongs and the number of words written by Sara that contain hiatuses.
Jackson's task was to write words with diphthongs. A diphthong is a combination of two vowels pronounced in a single syllable.
Words with diphthongs in Jackson's text are:
1. Am ("soy", o+y).
2. Aviator ("aviador", i+a).
3. When ("cuando", u+a).
4. Am ("estoy", o+y).
5. Sky ("cielo", i+e).
6. Earth ("tierra", i+e).
7. Air ("aire", a+i).
8. Can ("puedo", u+e).
Jackson wrote 8 words with diphthongs.
Sara's task was to write words with hiatuses. A hiatus is a combination of two vowels pronounced in separate syllables.
Words with hiatuses in Sara's text are:
1. Day ("día", í-a).
2. Joy ("alegría", í-a).
3. Zoo ("zoológico", o-o).
4. Reading ("leer", e-e).
5. There was ("había", í-a).
6. Fall ("caer", a-e).
7. Theater ("teatro", e-a).
Sara wrote 7 words with hiatuses.
Comparing their scores: Jackson has 8 points, and Sara has 7 points.
English Final Answer: Jackson wins with 8 points.

El fin de semana pasado nos fuimos a la sierra a acampar. Vimos coyotes, serpientes, alacranes y merendamos coyotas el sábado por la tarde. Por la noche, ¡se armó la machaca! ¿Cuántos animales vimos y cuantos alimentos mencioné?
|
Tres animales y dos alimentos.
|
Last weekend we went to the mountains to camp. We saw coyotes, snakes, scorpions, and we snacked on 'coyotas' (Mexican dessert) on Saturday afternoon. At night, the "machaca" (dried meat) is on! How many animals did we see and how many foods did I mention?
|
English Reasoning: The text lists three types of animals seen: "coyotes", "serpientes" (snakes), and "alacranes" (scorpions). It also mentions two types of food items: "coyotas" (a type of Mexican pastry, more specifically, from Sonora) and "machaca" (a type of dried meat, often beef, also used idiomatically here, meaning that the party got started ("se armó la machaca"), but contextually refers to food). The question asks for the count of each category.
English Final Answer: 3 animals and 2 foods.

Mi amigo Diego fue al nutricionista y el médico le dijo que le faltaban muchos nutrientes, por lo que le mandó a comer muchas frutas. Ayer pasé todo el día con él e hizo lo siguiente:
• En la mañana, desayuno con una ensalada de manzanas, bananas, peras y yogur.
• Me contó que su novia le dio calabazas.
• Al mediodía, después del almuerzo, se comió algunas mandarinas.
• En la tarde estuvimos jugando videojuegos.
• Le propuse que trabajara conmigo y después pasó mucho tiempo comiéndose el coco.
• En la noche tomó de cena algunas aceitunas y manzanas.
• Después de la cena vimos una película.
¿Qué frutas comió Diego ayer?
|
Manzanas, bananas, peras, mandarinas y aceitunas.
|
My friend Diego went to the nutritionist, and the doctor told him he lacked many nutrients, so he was instructed to eat a lot of fruits. Yesterday, I spent the whole day with him, and he did the following:
• In the morning, he had breakfast with a salad of apples, bananas, pears and yogurt.
• He told me his girlfriend "gave him pumpkins" ("dar calabazas" Spanish expression to say that he was rejected).
• At noon, after lunch, he ate some mandarins.
• In the afternoon, we played video games.
• I suggested he work with me, and later he spent a lot of time "eating coconut" ("comiendose el coco" Spanish expression for thinking too much).
• At night, he had some olives and apples for dinner.
• After dinner, we watched a movie.
What fruits did Diego eat yesterday?
|
English Reasoning:
To determine the fruits Diego ate, we need to identify explicit mentions of fruit consumption in the text while disregarding idiomatic expressions that use fruit names but don't refer to actual eating.
1. "En la mañana, desayuno con una ensalada de manzanas, bananas, peras y yogur" (In the morning, he had breakfast with a salad of apples, bananas, pears, and yogurt). This indicates he ate apples, bananas, and pears.
2. "Me contó que su novia le dio calabazas" (He told me his girlfriend gave him pumpkins) - "Dar calabazas" (gave him pumpkins) is an idiom meaning "to reject" or "to dump someone." This does not mean he ate pumpkins.
3. "Al mediodía, despues del almuerzo, se comió algunas mandarinas" (At noon, after lunch, he ate some mandarins) - This means he ate mandarins.
4. "Le propuse que trabajara conmigo y después pasó mucho tiempo comiéndose el coco" (I suggested he work with me, and later he spent a lot of time eating coconut) - "Comerse el coco" (eating coconut) is an idiom meaning "to overthink." This does not mean he ate coconut.
5. "En la noche tomó de cena algunas aceitunas y manzanas" (At night, he had some olives and apples for dinner) - This indicates he ate olives and apples. Olives are botanically fruits.
Therefore, the fruits Diego actually ate are apples, bananas, pears, mandarins, and olives.
English Final Answer: Apples, bananas, pears, mandarins and olives.

En un patio de comidas del Jockey Plaza, en Lima, se escucha un diálogo entre un mesero y los comensales de la mesa 24 en la zona de comidas bebidas típicas y criollas.
A la persona de aquí le gusta el anís con sabor a volcán.
A la persona de allá no le gustan tomates, pero le encantan la beterraga.
A la personita de ahí es traviesa le gustan verdes más que los rojos, pero siempre con la cremita de huancayo
Y a la personita que está más allá del fánatico de la beterraga odia el limón, pero le encanta el picante.
Los comensales son 4 amigos: Dani recorre la Laguna de Paca cada verano, Fran es amante del rocoto relleno, Pao siempre hace un brindis por la Virgen del Chapi y Joss es amante de las ensaladas cocidas.
Si el que pide la comida es picante está al lado de quien hizo el pedido, ¿qué pidió el que está más lejos?
|
Rocoto relleno
|
At the food court of Jockey Plaza (a shopping mall in Lima, Peru), a conversation can be heard between a waiter and the guests at table 24, located in the section for traditional Peruvian food and drinks.
The person right here (“aquí”, very close to the speaker) likes anise with a “volcano” flavor.
The person over there (“allá”, far from the speaker) doesn’t like tomatoes, but loves beets.
The little one there (“ahí”, at a medium distance from the speaker) is mischievous, prefers green sauces over red ones, but always with Huancayo cream (a traditional creamy yellow sauce with cheese and mild chili).
And the little one beyond the beet lover (“más allá”, even farther than “allá”) hates lemon, but loves spicy food.
The four diners are friends:
Dani visits Laguna de Paca (a lake in the Peruvian highlands near Huancayo) every summer.
Fran is a fan of "rocoto relleno" (a typical dish based on "rocoto"-chili- with cheese).
Pao often talks about the Virgin of Chapi (a religious figure from Arequipa, a southern Peruvian region known for anise liqueur).
Joss loves cooked vegetable salads.
If the person who orders the spicy dish is sitting next to the one who placed the order, what dish did the person farthest from the waiter ask for?
|
English Reasoning: To solve this question, we need to pay attention to both the spatial references made with Spanish demonstratives and the cultural clues related to each diner’s preferences and background.
Here (“aquí”, very close to the speaker) refers to the person who likes anise with a “volcano” flavor. This clue points us to Pao, who frequently talks about the Virgin of Chapi, a religious figure from Arequipa, a region where Anís Najar, a traditional anise liqueur, is commonly used in toasts during festivities.
There ("ahí”, at a medium distance) refers to the mischievous person who prefers green sauces over red ones, but always with Huancayo cream. This relates to Dani, who spends summers at Laguna de Paca, near Huancayo. Huancayo is known for a very popular dish, "Papa a la Huancaína", made with boiled potatoes and a yellow sauce made from cheese and chili.
“Over there ("allá”, farther away, at a greater distance) describes someone who doesn’t like tomatoes but loves beets. This matches Joss, who enjoys cooked vegetable salads. In Peru, beets are a key ingredient in a typical side dish called "ensalada rusa", which is usually served with roasted chicken.
It is important to note that in Spanish there are three different demonstrative adverbs for three different distances ('aquí', the closest, 'ahí' for medium distance, and 'allí/allá' for the farthest distance) while in English there are only two distances, 'here' and 'there'.
Beyond ("más allá”, even farther than “allá”) refers to someone who hates lemon but loves spicy food. This corresponds to Fran, who is a fan of "rocoto relleno", a typical Peruvian dish made with rocoto peppers (a type of chili) stuffed with cheese and covered with a delicious tomato sauce.
The person farthest from the one who placed the order is, then, the person who orders a spicy dish. Therefore, the person farthest from the waiter is Fran, and what they ordered was "rocoto relleno".
English Final Answer:
Stuffed Peruvian Rocoto (Rocoto relleno).

在饭局上：
李总：陈总，我敬您一杯！这往后肯定避免不了麻烦你们！到时还得请您多费心！

请问这两个人谁地位更高？

At a business dinner:
Mr. Li: Mr. Chen, I’ll toast to you! I'd like to propose a toast to you! In the future, we will inevitably need to trouble you! At that time, I'll have to ask you to put in extra effort!
Mr. Chen: I would climb mountains of blades or cross seas of fire (上刀山下火海, indicating that the speaker is willing to do anything) for you, it's my bounden duty (义不容辞, showing that the speaker feels obligated to fulfill any mission assigned) —how could it be a trouble? You just need to ask!
|
English Reasoning: In Chinese business culture, hierarchical dynamics are often reflected in language and gestures. Mr. Li initiates the toast and mentions future "trouble," implying he may need favors from Mr. Chen, which subtly positions him as the requester. Mr. Chen's response is highly deferential and accommodating. Phrases like "上刀山下火海 (climb mountains of blades or cross seas of fire)" and "义不容辞 (it's my bounden duty)" are strong expressions of willingness to go to great lengths to help. He dismisses the idea of it being a "trouble" and encourages Mr.Li to "just ask." This kind of effusive and obliging response is typically offered by someone in a lower or equal (but trying to be very accommodating) position to someone of higher status, or by a service provider to an important client. The person in the higher-status position is usually the one who can "trouble" others and expect them to "put in extra effort." Mr. Chen's eagerness to serve indicates he likely perceives Mr. Li as more influential or important.
English Final Answer: Mr. Li holds a higher status.

Here is a dialogue between a great-grandfather, grandfather, father, and son:
D: Dad, it's almost Grandpa's birthday, let's buy a big cake this time, I want to eat it.
A: Okay, okay, I want to eat it too.
C: Grandpa, don't you have diabetes?
B: Dad, neither of you should eat, look at that little kid's belly.
D: My belly isn't as big as my dad's yet.
C: Aren't big bellies hereditary in our family? My grandpa's belly wasn't small either.
Question: Who are A, B, C, and D?
|
English Reasoning: I need to analyze the relationships mentioned in the conversation:
1. D addresses someone as "Dad" and mentions wanting a cake for "Grandpa's" birthday, so D is the son (youngest)
2. A agrees to the cake idea and is later referenced as having diabetes
3. C calls someone "Grandpa" and mentions "my grandpa's belly"
4. B calls someone "Dad" and references "the kid's" belly
5. From line 3, C addresses someone as "Grandpa" who has diabetes - this must be A.
6. From line 4, B addresses someone as "Dad" - this must be A as well.
7. In line 5, D says "my dad" which refers to C.
8. In line 6, C mentions "my grandpa" which refers to A.
Therefore, A is the great-grandfather, B is the grandfather, C is the father, and D is the son.
English Final Answer: A is the great-grandfather (太爷爷), B is the grandfather (爷爷), C is the father (爸爸), and D is the son (儿子).

A conversation about the school open day:
Me:"Mom, I still need a tie, I need to borrow someone elses'."
Mom: "Whose do you want to borrow, Xiaoming's or Chengcheng's?"
Me: "I want to borrow Xiaoming's, the one from his school looks good."
Mom: "Okay, I'll get it later. Do you need anything else?"
Me: "I still need a pair of black dance shoes."
Mom: "That's easy, Sisi just bought a pair when she was in the third grade last year, they should fit you now."
Me: "That won't work, I need men's style."
Mom: "Alright, I'll check if Chengcheng has any old ones, Xiaoming's would be too big, but Chengcheng's are quite big too."
Me: "Hmm, I also need a top hat. Sisi doesn't need to bring hers tomorrow, can I borrow it?"
Mom: "That won't work, each of you has one top hat, there are no extras."
Based on the above dialogue, deduce how many school-going siblings we have in our family?
|
English Reasoning: As the speaker says "I need men's style.", so we could know that Sisi is a girl and the speaker is a boy. Also, mom said "they should fit you now", means Sisi is older than the speaker. Along with the sentence "Xiaoming's too big, but Chengcheng's are quite big too", we could know that both Xiaoming and Chengcheng are older than the speaker, both of them are boys, and the "but" here means Chengcheng is younger than Xiaoming. So the gender and the age order is quite clear now.
In addition, as the prompt asks "how many school-going siblings we have in our family", in Chinese, it emphasises "how many children in our family", not from the speaker's perspective.
English Final Answer: 4 school-going siblings.
From oldest to youngest: Xiaoming(male) > Chengcheng(male) > Sisi (female) > me (male).

张、王、李、赵四人在实验室里讨论项目，不慎被锁在了里面。
赵说：李老您先坐下休息一会吧。我给老黄打个电话看他那里有没有钥匙。小张、小王你们看看有没有什么其他出口可以出去。
张说：赵哥您放心，我们去找找。
王说：哥你帮我扶下椅子，我看能不能从上面那个窗户翻出去，我知道黄大爷的备用钥匙在哪里。
李说：你们注意安全。
张王李赵黄，对应的身份都是谁：教授、助教 、研究生、大三学生、实验室管理员。

张：研究生
王：大三学生
李：教授
赵：助教
黄：实验室管理员
|
Zhang, Wang, Li and Zhao were discussing a project in the lab and were accidently locked in.
Zhao said: "Mr Li ("李老," Li Lao, which is a respectful term for an elder or senior figure), please sit down and take a rest. I'll call Lao Huang ("老黄," term to call elderly that isn't as formal) to see if he has the key. Xiao Zhang, Xiao Wang, please check if there is any other exit."
Zhang said: "Don't worry big brother Zhao ("赵哥," indicating that Zhao is likely more of a leader). We'll go and try."
Wang said: "Big bro("哥"), help me to hold the chair. I'll see if I can get out from the upper window. I know where uncle Huang keeps the spare key. "
Li said: "Be careful, you two."
Determine Zhang, Wang, Li, Zhao and Huang, who are the corresponding characters here: Professor, teaching assistant, postgraduate, 3rd year student, lab admin.
|
English Reasoning:
Li is addressed as "Mr. Li" (Li Lao李老) by Zhao, a respectful term for an elder or senior figure. Among all the characters here, only professor would been called respectly as "……lao", indicating Li is the professor.
Huang is called "Lao Huang" (老黄) by Zhao and "Uncle Huang" (黄大爷) by Wang, suggesting familiarity and age, aligning with lab administrator (keeper of spare keys).
Zhao is called "Big brother Zhao" (赵哥) by Zhang. And he also took the lead to assign Zhang and Wang to looking for other exit, implying he holds authority but is younger than Li. This fits the teaching assistant.
While Zhang & Wang looking for other exit, Wang called Zhang "哥“ (Big brother). It shows Wang is younger than Zhang.
And Wang proposes climbing a window, showing youthful impulsiveness, matching junior undergrad.
So Zhang is post-graduate and Wang is 3rd-year student.
English Final Answer:
Zhang: Postgraduate
Wang: 3rd year student
Li: Professor
Zhao: Teaching assistant
Huang: Lab admin

I want to go during the low season and bring 10 children aged between 8 and 11 years old ( not counting my son).
I am willing to pay 300 euros out of my pocket, and I want to buy the tickets online.
Based on 2024 rates, how much should I ask each child's parent to contribute for the entry ticket?
Do not include the cost of my ticket or my son's in the calculations.
|
18 euros for each child's Parc Asterix entry ticket.
First, the theme park dedicated to Uderzo and Goscinny's work is Park Asterix.
Based on the 2024 park rates, a child's entry ticket rate is 48 euros during the low season.
Therefore, the global amount for 10 kids' tickets is 480 euros. If we subtract the 300 euros paid by the mother, there are 180 euros left to be paid.
The user should ask for 18 euros from each parent's child as a financial contribution for the ticket.

Quel mot utilisé en jardinage pour clôturer, est au pluriel un palidrome, mais au singulier le nom d'une rivière dans le Nord de la France?
|
Serre
|
Which word used in gardening for fencing, in the plural, is a palindrome, but in the singular, the name of a river in the North of France?
|
The answer is the French word "Serre". In gardening, a “serre” is a greenhouse used to enclose plants. The plural "serres" is a palindrome (S-E-R-R-E-S). And its singular form must match a river name in Northern France, which is the Serre, a river in northern France, tributary of the Oise.

Jugando a la escoba de dos, en la última distribución de cartas, cuando a mí me quedaban dos cartas y a mi rival una yo tenía en la mano el rey de espadas y la sota de bastos.
Si en la mesa están el siete de oros y el cinco de copas, suponiendo que no hubo errores en ninguna jugada a lo largo de toda la partida.
¿Qué carta debo jugar para hacer la mejor jugada?
|
Rey de espadas.
|
Prompt Translation to English: When playing two-player 'escoba' (a Spanish card game) during the last distribution of cards, when I had two cards in my hand and my opponent had one, I had the king of swords and the jack (sota) of clubs. If the seven of coins (oros) and the five of cups is on the table, assuming that there were no mistakes in any play throughout the game. What card should I play to make the best move?
|
English Reasoning: In the game of 'escoba' the goal is to capture cards on the table by reaching 15 points by adding up the value of the cards played combined with the card played.
If the sum of the cards on the table combined with the card played adds up to 15, all cards are captured and the player makes a 'escoba' which is one direct point at the end of the game.
Also, the seven of coins is worth one point the same as a 'escoba'.
In the same way, the player with more cards captured receives one more point at the end of the game.
At the end of the game, the last player to capture cards, is the player who got the last cards left on the table in the end of the game.
The value of the cards in this game is their number except for the figures, jack, knight, and king (sota, caballo, and rey) that are worth 8, 9, and 10 respectively.
Taking all of this into account, to determine what is the best card to play it is important also to know what card has the opponent.
In the 'escoba' game if all the plays were done without mistakes along the game, in the end. it must be on the table cards that add up to a value of 10, 25, 40... This is because of the total value of the cards in the deck in this game. The total value adding up the value of all the cards is 220 (4x(1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10) the value of the sum of the value every card of a suit multiplied by the number of suits). If we divide the total value 220, by 15 (the value required to capture cards) it turns that there are a maximum of 14 captures possible and that there are at least 10 points left at the end of the game if the captures are done correctly because it is the rest of the division of 220/15. In the case of less than 14 captures are done the rest is incremented by 15, therefore, it there can be cards left on the table that add up to 10, 25, 40... as it was said before.
It is mentioned that it was the last dealing so there are no cards left to be dealt, all cards were played and the only unknown card is the card in the opponent's hand.
Given all of these conditions and the context, the card that has the opponent can be guessed by using the following method:
The value of the cards on the table and in the hand of the narrator is added up, then, comparing the result of the sum with the value that the cards left on the table must add up at the end of the game (10, 25, 40...) the quantity to reach the value immediately above of the result of the sum is the value of the card on the opponent's hand.
In this case, on the table there are seven of coins and the five of cups (7+5 = 12) and, in the narrator's hand, the king of swords and the jack of clubs (10+8 = 18). The total sum is 30, the value immediately above of the result of this sum that fulfills the requirement of the points that have to be left in the end is 40, therefore the opponent has a card with a value of 10 which is a king.
Therefore, regarding the rules of the game, the best card to play is the king of swords. By playing this card, the user captures the five of cups and does not allow the opponent to capture any card in the next turn, this means that, in the end, the narrator will get all the cards left on the table, capturing this way all the cards left and the seven of coins, not allowing the opponent to capture any card.
If the narrator plays the jack of clubs, it gets the seven of coins, but the opponent will do a 'escoba' by capturing the five of cups, which is the only card on the table, with its king. Therefore, the point of the seven of coins is immediately compensated by the 'escoba' made by the opponent, furthermore, the last card (the king of the narrator) will be got by the opponent since is the last card left on the table at the end of the game and the opponent was the last one to capture cards.
Comparing the two options, by playing the king of swords the user will capture all the cards in the end including the seven of coins. By playing the jack of clubs the narrator does not get any profit and the opponent captures one more card.
Therefore, the best card to play to make the best move is the king of swords (rey de espadas).
English Final Answer: Rey de espadas.

Mi abuelo trabajaba en un pueblo llamado Uverito en Venezuela en los años 40 como agricultor y ganaba real y medio cada 15 días. Tomó su sueldo de un mes y se compró una vaca y esa vaca tuvo dos becerros a los que vendió luego por 3 reales, 1 medio y 1 cuartillo. ¿Cuántos bolívares obtuvo mi abuelo de ganancia?
|
0.375 bolívares
|
The grandfather worked in a town called Uverito in Venezuela in the 1940s as a farmer and earned a “real" (typical Venezuelan currency) and a half every 15 days. He took his one-month salary and bought a cow. That cow had two calves, which he later sold for 3 “reales" (typical Venezuelan currency), 1 half, and 1 cuartillo (typical Venezuelan form for a quarter of a real). How many bolívares did the grandfather make in profit?
|
English Reasoning:
Reales were old currency units used in Venezuela before the bolívar was introduced. Bolívares is the current official currency in Venezuela. They replaced the reales and are used today.
To calculate the profit in bolívares, we need to follow these steps: First, the amount the grandfather earned in a month is calculated, knowing how much he receives each half month. Then, the money obtained from selling the calves is added. Finally, to know the profit, the initial cost of the cow is subtracted from the money received from selling the calves.
The equivalences are:
1 real = Bs. 0.50
1 medio = Bs. 0.25
1 cuartillo = Bs. 0.125
1. The grandfather's salary in a month. He earned a real and a half every 15 days, i.e.:
1 real = Bs. 0.50
1 medio = Bs. 0.25
Total fortnightly = 0.50 + 0.25 = Bs. 0.75
So, in one month (two fortnights) he earned:
Bs. 0.75 x 2 = Bs. 1.50
That was the cost of the cow.
2. Sale of the two calves. He sold the calves for:
3 reales = 3 x 0.50 = Bs. 1.50
1 medio = Bs. 0.25
1 cuartillo = Bs. 0.125
Total sale = 1.50 + 0.25 + 0.125 = Bs. 1.875
3. Profit
Income from sale - Cost of the cow = Profit
Bs. 1.875 - Bs. 1.50 = Bs. 0.375
Result:
The grandfather made a profit of Bs. 0.375.
English Final Answer: Bs. 0.375

唐开元年间，工部侍郎张某奉命督建皇家佛寺的放生池。朝廷批复的工程文书注明：放生池应为方形，边长20大尺，深8大尺。朝廷规定每挖一平方大尺的土方，拨资12贯工钱。张某表面按朝廷文书施工，实则暗中将深度改用小尺。请问，张某贪污了多少贯钱？
|
800贯钱
|
Prompt Translation to English: During the Tang Dynasty's Kaiyuan period, Zhang, a Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Works, was ordered to supervise the construction of a liberation pond for a royal Buddhist temple. The engineering document approved by the court specified that the liberation pond should be square, with a side length of 20 "large chi" (大尺, a Tang Dynasty unit of measurement) and a depth of 8 "large chi". The court stipulated that for each square "large chi" of excavated earth, 12 guan (贯, currency unit) would be allocated. Zhang appeared to follow the court document for construction but secretly changed the depth measurement to "small chi" (小尺). How many guan of money did Zhang embezzle?
|
English Reasoning:
To determine the amount embezzled, we need to calculate the difference between the money Zhang was allocated (or should have been paid for the planned work) and the actual cost of the work he performed, based on the official rates.
Planned Pond Dimensions and Volume:
Side length = 20 large chi
Surface area = 20 large chi × 20 large chi = 400 square large chi
Planned depth (D_planned) = 8 large chi
Planned volume (V_planned) = Surface area × D_planned = 400 square large chi × 8 large chi = 3200 cubic large chi.
Interpretation of the Payment Rate:
The problem states: "for every square 'large chi' of earthwork (每挖一平方大尺的土方), 12 'guan' of money would be allocated".
"一平方大尺的土方" (a square large chi of earthwork) implies the volume of earth excavated under one square large chi of surface area. Given the project's specified depth is 8 large chi, this means 12 'guan' is the payment for excavating a volume of 1 large chi (length) × 1 large chi (width) × 8 large chi (specified project depth).
So, 12 'guan' is paid for 8 cubic large chi of excavation.
The payment rate per unit volume = 12 guan / 8 cubic large chi = 1.5 guan per cubic large chi.
Total Money Allocated for the Project:
This is the amount Zhang would have received or controlled if the pond was built to specifications.
Allocated money = V_planned × Rate = 3200 cubic large chi × 1.5 guan/cubic large chi = 4800 guan.
Actual Depth of the Pond:
Zhang built the pond to a depth of 8 'small chi'.
We need the conversion between 'large chi' (大尺) and 'small chi' (小尺) from the Tang Dynasty. Historical sources indicate:
1 large chi ≈ 36 cm
1 small chi ≈ 30 cm
Therefore, 1 large chi = 36/30 small chi = 1.2 small chi.
Conversely, 1 small chi = 30/36 large chi = 5/6 large chi.
Actual depth (D_actual) = 8 small chi = 8 × (5/6) large chi = 40/6 large chi = 20/3 large chi.
Actual Volume of Earth Excavated:
The surface area remained as planned (20 large chi × 20 large chi = 400 square large chi).
Actual volume (V_actual) = Surface area × D_actual = 400 square large chi × (20/3) large chi = 8000/3 cubic large chi.
Cost of the Actual Work Performed:
This is the value of the work Zhang actually did, calculated using the official rate.
Cost_actual_work = V_actual × Rate = (8000/3) cubic large chi × 1.5 guan/cubic large chi
Cost_actual_work = (8000/3) × (3/2) guan = 8000/2 guan = 4000 guan.
Amount Embezzled:
The embezzled amount is the difference between the money allocated for the planned work and the actual cost of the work performed.
Embezzled money = Allocated money - Cost_actual_work = 4800 guan - 4000 guan = 800 guan.
English Final Answer:
Zhang embezzled 800 'guan' of money.

That year, my maternal grandmother had just celebrated her “白寿” (99th birthday) when she died of old age. She was born in the Geng-Shen year of the Chinese sexagenary cycle. My mother was 50 when my grandmother died. Using the following clues, determine how many years my younger male cousin and my grandmother differ in age:
In the year my grandmother died, I was 32. Four years before that, at age 28, I was exactly an integer multiple of my cousin’s age.
When my cousin was born, my younger maternal aunt was two years older than I was at the time of my grandmother’s death.
My cousin was born after 2000.
My mother and my younger maternal aunt differ by only a few years.
|
English Reasoning:
The grandmother’s Geng-Shen birth year must be 1920; she died at age 99 in 2019 (1920 + 99 = 2019), when my mother was 50 (born 1969) and I was 32 (born 1987).
Four years before 2019 is 2015, when I was 28. For 28 to be an integer multiple of my younger male cousin’s age, his age in 2015 can be 14 (28 ÷ 2 = 14), 7 (28 ÷ 4 =7), 4 (28 ÷ 7 = 4) and 1 (28 ÷ 28 = 1).
When my cousin was born, my aunt’s age was my age at grandmother’s death (32) plus 2, so she was 34 when my cousin was born.
If my cousin was 14 years old in 2015, he would born in 2001, and My aunt would be worn in 2001 - 34 = 1967 which was older than my mom, so this was incorrect.
If my cousin was 7 years old in 2015, he would born in 2008, and My aunt would be worn in 2008 - 34 = 1974 which was 5 years old younger than my mom (1969), so this was consistent with “only a few years apart with my mom.”
If my cousin was 4 years old in 2015, he would born in 2011, and My aunt would be worn in 2011 - 34 = 1987 which was 10 years younger than my mom, this was not consistent with “only a few years apart.” So this was incorrect.
If my cousin was 1 years old in 2015, my aunt would be 10+ years old younger than my mom which was incorrect.
So in conclusion, my cousin was 7 years old in 2015. And he was born in 2008. The age difference between grandmother (born 1920) and cousin (born 2008) is 88 years.
English Final Answer:
88 years.

隋炀帝时期，朝廷命令地方官员采购铁料，用于铸造兵器。诏书中规定，每地需要进购100石铁料，采购费用为每石铁料15贯钱，并明确称重是按照大重量制标准。地方官员李某在账册中按大重量制纪录进货数量，但实际采购时使用了小重量制（既1小石铁料充1大石铁料）。请问，李某通过这种方法贪污了多少贯钱？（向上取整）
|
1000贯钱
|
Prompt Translation to English: During the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the imperial court ordered local officials to procure iron materials for forging weapons. The edict stipulated that each locality needed to purchase 100 shi of iron material, the procurement cost was 15 guan of money per shi of iron, and it was clearly stated that weighing was according to the large weight system standard. Local official Li recorded the purchase quantity in the account book according to the large weight system, but when actually purchasing, used the small weight system (meaning 1 small shi of iron material was counted as 1 large shi of iron material). Question: How much money in guan did Li embezzle through this method? (Round up to the nearest integer)
|
English Reasoning:
1. First, we need to determine the funds Li was allocated or claimed:
The edict required purchasing 100 shi of iron, and the cost was 15 guan per shi, based on the "large weight system standard." So, the official cost for 100 large shi = 100 shi * 15 guan/shi = 1500 guan.
2. Determine Li's actual actions and expenditure:
Li actually purchased iron using the "small weight system." The problem states "1小石铁料充1大石铁料," meaning 1 unit of small shi was passed off as 1 unit of large shi. Thus, Li acquired 100 small shi of iron but reported them as 100 large shi.
3. Establish the relationship between the "large shi" and "small shi":
During Sui dynasty, metrological reforms included a distinction between large (大) and small (小) units of capacity, such as sheng (升), dou (斗), and shi (石). A common relationship was that 1 large unit equaled 3 small units (e.g., 1 大升 = 3 小升). Although "shi" for iron refers to weight ("称重" - weighing), it's reasonable to assume that if "shi" as a weight unit also had a "large" and "small" variant, it would follow a similar ratio, or that the iron was measured by a capacity unit (a "shi" container) and its weight would be proportional to this volume. Thus, we assume: 1 large shi (weight) = 3 small shi (weight). This means: Weight of 1 small shi (W_S) = (1/3) * Weight of 1 large shi (W_L).
4. Calculate Li's actual cost for the iron:
The official price is 15 guan per large shi.
If Li purchased 1 small shi of iron, its cost, relative to the large shi price, would be proportional to its weight:
Cost of 1 small shi = (W_S / W_L) * (Price of 1 large shi)
Cost of 1 small shi = (1/3) * 15 guan = 5 guan.
Li purchased 100 small shi, so his actual expenditure was:
Actual expenditure = 100 small shi * 5 guan/small shi = 500 guan.
5. Calculate the embezzled amount:
Embezzled amount = Funds claimed - Actual expenditure
Embezzled amount = 1500 guan - 500 guan = 1000 guan.
English Final Answer: 1000 guan

Mi abuela nos contó en una cena familiar que, cuando tenía su casa en Soria, cultivaba su terreno ella misma. Ella nos comentó que la mitad de la finca la tenía plantada de trigo y la otra mitad de centeno y que cada 3 meses cosechaba una fanega de trigo y cada 4 meses una fanega de centeno. ¿Cuántos kilos cosechaba sumando ambos cereales en un año?

My grandmother told us at a family dinner that, when she had her house in Soria, she cultivated her land herself. She told us that half of the land was planted with wheat and the other half with rye, and that every 3 months she harvested a "fanega" of wheat (a "fanega" is an old Castilian unit of agricultural weight, variable depending on the material to which it referred and the region), and every 4 months a "fanega" of rye. How many kilos did she harvest in total for both cereals in a year?
|
English Reasoning: I need to calculate how many "fanegas" of each cereal are harvested in a year, then convert to kilograms. A "fanega" is an old Castilian unit of agricultural weight, variable depending on the material to which it referred and the region.
For wheat: She harvests 1 "fanega" every 3 months, so in 12 months (1 year) she harvests 12/3=4 "fanegas" of wheat.
For rye: She harvests 1 "fanega" every 4 months, so in 12 months she harvests 12/4=3 "fanegas" of rye.
To convert to kilograms, I need the conversion rates:
1 "fanega" of wheat = 43.247 kg.
1 "fanega" of rye = 41.407 kg.
Therefore:
4 "fanegas" of wheat = 4×43.247= 172.988 kg.
3 "fanegas" of rye = 3×41.407=124.221 kg.
Total: 172.988+124.221=297.209 kg

Si cojo las letras de cada provincia española que da al mar Mediterráneo, excepto las Baleares y las cuidades autónomas, y las multiplicom luego supongo que el resultado son granos de arroz y que cada grano de arroz pesa 3 miligramos. ¿Cuántos sacos de medio quintal castellano me harán falta para guardar todos esos granos de arroz?

Prompt Translation to English: If I take the letters of each Spanish province that faces the Mediterranean Sea, except for the Balearic Islands and the autonomous cities, and then multiply them, and I suppose the result is grains of rice, and that each grain of rice weighs 3 milligrams. How many half-Castilian quintal (hundredweight used in Castille) sacks will I need to store all those grains of rice?
|
English Reasoning: The Spanish provinces that face the Mediterranean Sea and their number of letters, excluding the Balearic Islands and the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla are: Girona (8 letters), Barcelona (9), Tarragona (9), Castellón (9), Valencia (8), Alicante (8), Murcia (6), Almería (7), Granada (7), Málaga (6) and Cádiz (5).
Multiplying all the number of letters it gives a result of: 8 * 9 * 9 * 9 * 8 * 8 * 6 * 7 * 7 * 6 * 5 = 2,469,035,520 grains of rice.
If each grain weighs 3 milligrams its weight in kilograms is 3/1000000 = 0.000003 kilograms.
Therefore, there are 2,469,035,520 * 0.000003 = 7407.106556 kilograms.
A Castillian quintal weighs 46.008 kilograms. Therefore, a half-quintal weighs 23.004 kilograms.
Then, the number of half-quintal sacks is 7407.106556 kilograms divided by 23.004 kilograms per sack. That is: 7407.105665/23.004 = 321.992 sacks.
Therefore, there are required 322 sacks.

Gerardo es un coleccionista que se anda recorriendo varias ciudades a ver qué encuentra.
Arrancó desde Los Mochis y llegó a Hermosillo, y se encnontró una estampita del Santo y la compró en 7800 pesos IVA incluído. De ahí se fue para Caborca y se encontró un set de cartas de baseball viejas, se las dieron en 11600 en un mercado informal. Ahí mismo encontró un fulano vendindo aparatos viejos y se encontró con un Atari 2600 en perfecto estado, y se lo dejaron en 1800 IVA incluído. De ahí fue a Nogales y encontró unas figuras de colección, y le dieron todo el paquete en 3500 IVA incluído. Por último, fue hasta Mexicali por un comic en muy buen estado, y se lo dieron en 14000 IVA incluído.
¿Cuánto pagó Gerardo de IVA en total por todos los artículos? Redondea todos los valores al centavo.

Gerardo is a collector who is traveling through various cities to see what he can find. He started from Los Mochis and arrived in Hermosillo, where he found a sticker of El Santo and bought it for 7800 pesos, including IVA (Impuesto al Valor Agregado, the Mexican equivalent to the VAT, Value-Added Tax). Then, he went to Caborca and found a set of old baseball cards, which he got for 11600 pesos at an informal market. There, he also found a guy selling old devices and came across an Atari 2600 in perfect condition, which he got for 1800 pesos, including IVA. Next, he went to Nogales and found some collectible figures, and he got the whole package for 3500 pesos, including IVA. Finally, he went to Mexicali for a comic in very good condition, and he got it for 14000 pesos, including IVA. How much did Gerardo pay in total for IVA for all the items? Round all values to the cent.
|
English Reasoning:
We have 5 articles Gerardo bought, and we have to find out how much of what he paid for each corresponds to IVA.
We have to take into account that an informal market in Mexico refers to a market outside of taxation and regulation, so anything bought in an informal market is not declared and doesn't pay taxes. Also, the IVA in the cities directly south to the northern border with the USA only applies an 8% IVA, as opposed to the 16% IVA paid in the rest of the country.
With that in mind, let's check the items Gerardo bought one by one:
1. El Santo sticker: 7800 pesos: IVA = 7800 - (7800 / 1.16) ≈ 1075.86, as Hermosillo is not in the border zone.
2. Baseball cards: No IVA applied, as it's an informal market.
3. Atari 2600: 1800 pesos: IVA = 1800 - (1800 / 1.08) ≈ 133.33, as Caboca is in the border zone.
4. Collectible figures: 3500 pesos: IVA = 3500 - (3500 / 1.08) ≈ 259.29, as Nogales is in the border zone.
5. Comic: 14000 pesos: = IVA 14000 - (14000 / 1.08) ≈ 1037.04, as Mexicali is in the border zone.
Total IVA = 1075.86 + 0 + 133.33 + 259.29 + 1037.04 = 2505.49 pesos.

I’m on my way to a supermarket 1 km from my home, but I forgot my shopping trolley.
I plan to buy 8 packs of Yoplait L’original (each pack contains 8 pots) and two vanilla-flavored Yop bottles.
Can you tell me the total weight without packaging, so I know if it will be too heavy to carry by hand?
|
Two-step reasoning:
Know the weight of French yurts.
Make calculations to find the total weight
To calculate the total weight of the groceries without packaging, we need to determine the net weight of each item and then sum them up.
Yoplait L'original x8:
The user intends to buy "8 paniers de Yoplait L'original x8". "Yoplait L'original x8" refers to a pack containing 8 individual yogurt pots. "8 paniers de" means 8 such packs.
So, the total number of individual yogurt pots is 8 packs * 8 pots/pack = 64 pots.
A standard Yoplait L'original yogurt pot has a net weight of 125g.
Total net weight for Yoplait = 64 pots * 125 g/pot = 8000 g.
YOP aromatisées vanille (vanilla-flavored YOP) :
The user intends to buy "deux bouteilles" (two bottles).
A common net weight for a bottle of YOP (e.g., vanilla flavor) is 825g. This is the weight of the drinkable yogurt. (Some bottles are 850g, but for vanilla flavor, it's 825g).
Total net weight for YOP = 2 bottles * 825 g/bottle = 1650 g.
Total Net Weight:
Total net weight = Weight of Yoplait + Weight of YOP
Total net weight = 8000 g + 1650 g = 9650 g.
Convert to Kilograms:
9650 g is equal to 9.65 kg.
Final Answer: The total weight of your groceries, without the packaging, will be 9.65 kilograms.

Fleuriste dans les Alpes-Maritimes, j'ai fait partie en 2024 des 15 fleuristes qui ont livré des fleurs fraîches (de façon égale) pour décorer tous les chars fleuris de la fameuse Bataille de Fleurs, sachant qu'il y a eu besoin de 3 000 fleurs fraîches par char ! En se renseignant sur combien de chars ont défilé au total cette année-là et en comptant un surplus de perte de 5%, combien de fleurs ai-je livré ?

2940

As a florist in the Alpes-Maritimes, I was one of the 15 florists who, in 2024, delivered fresh flowers (equally) to decorate all the flower floats in the famous Battle of Flowers, knowing that 3,000 fresh flowers were needed per float! After finding out how many floats paraded in total that year and accounting for an extra 5% loss, how many flowers did I deliver?
|
2940 flowers. Indeed, it is easy to find from official sources that 14 floats paraded in 2024. If each of these floats requested 3,000 flowers, this yields 42,000 flowers for all the floats. 15 florists delivered equally the flowers, so this amounts to 2,800 flowers/florist. With the extra 5% for the losses (5% of 2,800 equals 140), you delivered 2,940 flowers for the 2024 Flower Battle float.

Je sors d'un repas pour la fête de ma soeur, Aurélie (qui a gardé ce côté tradition religieuse et tient à ce qu'on célèbre les fêtes du calendrier) et ca m'a mis en retard : c'est bientôt la Toussaint et pour l'occasion, l'école de ma fille organise un carnaval où le thème cette année c'est "jardin fleuri". Je me suis proposée pour faire des déguisements qui représentent des tulipes pour toutes les filles de sa classe. Il y a 3 grandes et 2 petites. Pour les grandes j'aurai besoin de 1,3 mètre de tissu vert et 60 cm de tissu rouge. Pour les plus petites, j'ai besoin d'autant de tissu rouge mais la moitié de tissu vert.
Je commence à coudre dès demain et je vais commencer par les déguisements des grandes tulipes. Par contre, le 19 et 20 octobre, je suis à un séminaire. J'arrive à travailler 50 cm de tissu par jour. Il faut que je finisse d'ici au plus tard, la veille de la Toussaint.
Combien de déguisements vais-je réussir à finir d'ici là ?

I just finished a meal for my sister Aurélie's feast day (she has kept this religious tradition side and insists on celebrating calendar holidays), and it made me late : Toussaint is coming soon, and for this occasion, my daughter's school is organizing a carnival where the theme this year is "flower garden". I volunteered to make tulip costumes for all the girls in her class. I'll need 1.3 meters of green fabric and 60 cm of red one. For the smaller ones, I will need as much red fabric but half the green one.
I'll start sewing tomorrow and I'll begin with the costumes for the big tulip costumes.
However, on October 19th and 20th, I'm at a seminar. I can work on 50 cm of fabric per day and need to finish by, at least, the day before Toussaint.
How many costumes will I manage to finish by then ?
|
First, we have to determine the number of days on which the user will be able to produce. Saint Aurélie is on 15th October and Toussaint is on 1st November. This would make 16 days, but the user is at a seminar during 2 days, so he will be able to work only 14 days on the period.
This means he will produce 14 x 50 cm = 700 cm.
To be fully produced, a "big" costume requires 130 cm of green fabric and 60 cm of red one = 190 cm.
A "small" costume requires 130 cm/ 2 = 65 cm of green fabric and 60 cm of red one = 125 cm.
Considering that, the user will start by the big costume and has 3 big costumes to do before starting the small ones. The smallest number under 700 is 190 + 190 + 190 (3 big costumes) + 125 (1 small one) = 695 cm.
In 14 days, he can produce 700cm, so he will be able to do the 695 cm above. 4 costumes are possible, not 5 as 190 x 3 + 125 x 2 = 820 cm (it would take 17 days).
Overall, the answer is 4.

Creo que mi tío me quiere chamaquear. Según él, en 2004, tras ver su programa favorito del momento en el Canal 5, Otro Rollo, salió al tianguis y me compró una calaverita de chocolate con mi nombre. Pero como que las fechas y las horas no me cuadran. ¿Tú qué dices? ¿Me quiere chamaquear o dice la verdad?
|
Muy probablemente dice la verdad.
|
I think my uncle is trying to trick me. According to him, in 2004, after watching his favorite show at the time on Channel 5, "Otro Rollo," he went to the tianguis (street market) and bought me a chocolate skull with my name on it. But the dates and times don't seem to add up for me. What do you think? Is he trying to trick me or is he telling the truth?
|
English Reasoning: Firstly, "Otro Rollo" was indeed broadcast on Channel 5 during 2004; it was aired on Tuesday nights, usually starting late, around 9:00 PM or 10:00 PM. As for the chocolate skulls with names on them, these are typical of the Day of the Dead, celebrated on November 1 and 2, which fell on Monday and Tuesday, respectively, in 2004. Finally, while nighttime tianguis (street markets) are not common, it is common in Mexico to find nighttime tianguis on the days surrounding special events, such as the Day of the Dead or Epiphany. Therefore, the claim that your uncle went to the tianguis in 2004 after seeing "Otro Rollo" and bought you a chocolate skull with your name on it is most likely true, since the dates and times match.
English Final Answer: Most likely he is telling the truth (in Spanish: "Muy probablemente dice la verdad").

Mis abuelos se casaron exactamente, cinco días después de que su ciudad natal, El Tigre, en Venezuela, se convirtiera en un municipio. ¿Me podrías decir cuándo es el aniversario de bodas de mis abuelos?
|
1 de mayo
|
My grandparents got married exactly five days after their hometown, El Tigre, in Venezuela, became a municipality. Could you tell me when my grandparents' wedding anniversary is?
|
English Reasoning: To find the wedding anniversary of the grandparents, we need to determine the date when El Tigre became a municipality. Research indicates that El Tigre was officially designated as a municipality on April 26, 1939, According to the prompt, the grandparents were married five days after this date. Therefore, their wedding date was April 26 + 5 days = May 1. Their anniversary is celebrated every year on this date.
English Final Answer: May 1 (in Spanish, 1 de mayo).

《水浒传》一百零八将里，为什么九纹龙打人最痛？
|
因为九纹龙史进，史进谐音使劲。
|
Among the 108 heroes of the Water Margin, why does the Nine-Tattooed Dragon cause the most pain when he hits people?
|
English Reasoning: The question is a pun based on the Chinese language. The nickname "Nine-Tattooed Dragon" refers to the character Shi Jin (史进) in the Water Margin. The character's name, "史进" (Shǐ Jìn), sounds similar to "使劲" (shǐ jìn), which means to exert all one's strength. Therefore, the wordplay lies in the idea that being hit by the Nine-Tattooed Dragon would cause the most pain as he would exert all his strength (使劲) when hitting people.
English Final Answer: Because the Nine-Tattooed Dragon refers to the character Shi Jin (史进), whose name sounds similar to "使劲" (shǐ jìn), which means to exert all one's strength.

Acabo de caerle a Jalisco y el día de hoy me voy a reunir en casa de uno de mis cuates.
El problema es que a este se le ocurrió darnos las direcciones usando unidades de longitud del antiguo sistema español de castilla.
Estas son las indicaciones que nos dio:
1. Las medidas corresponden a las fijadas por Carlos IV en 1801.
2. Avanza 1/10 de legua desde el punto de partida.
3. Dar vuelta a la derecha y continuar por 200 tercios hasta topar con la ceiba del parque de la cuadra.
4. Doblar a la izquierda y seguir 50 varas hasta llegar a la tienda de doña Lupe.
5. Cruza la calle y camina 150 codos hasta saludar al viejo vende duros en la universidad Guadalajara.
6. Gira finalmente a la izquierda y toca el timbre en la casa amarilla a 160 sexmas de la esquina.
Sabiendo esto, ¿cuántos metros camine aproximadamente del punto de partida hasta los chicharrones?
|
717 m
|
I just arrived in Jalisco, and today I'm going to meet at one of my buddies' house.
The problem is that he decided to give us the directions using length units from the old Spanish Castilian system.
These are the directions he gave us:
1. The measurements correspond to those fixed by Charles IV in 1801.
2. Advance 1/10 of a league (legua) from the starting point.
3. Turn right and continue for 200 thirds (tercios) until you hit the ceiba tree in the block's park.
4. Turn left and continue for 50 varas until you reach Doña Lupe's store.
5. Cross the street and walk 150 cubits (codos) until you greet the old man selling duros (chicharron) at the Guadalajara University.
6. Finally, turn left and ring the doorbell at the yellow house 160 sixths (sexmas) from the corner.
Knowing this, approximately how many meters did I walk from the starting point to the chicharróns?
|
English Reasoning: The problem requires calculating the total distance walked in meters, based on directions given in historical Spanish Castilian units, specifically those standardized by Carlos IV in 1801. The phrase "hasta los chicharrones" is a clue that the user wants to know how much they walked until arriving a stall selling them.
The core of the conversion is the Castilian vara (Vara de Burgos), which, according to the 1801 decree, is equivalent to 0.835905 meters. We need to convert each segment of the journey from its given unit to meters and then sum these distances.
Vara Castellana (Vara de Burgos): 1 vara = 0.835905 meters.
This is the base unit for our conversions.
Conversion of each distance:
Segment 1: 1/10 of a legua (league)
A Castilian league (legua común) was 20,000 Castilian pies (pies castellanos).
A vara is 3 pies. So, 1 pie = 1/3 vara = 0.835905 m / 3 = 0.278635 m.
Therefore, 1 legua = 20,000 pies * 0.278635 m/pie = 5572.7 meters.
Distance 1 = 1/10 legua = 5572.7 m / 10 = 557.27 meters.
Segment 2: 200 tercios
A tercio (third) is 1/3 of a vara.
1 tercio = 1/3 * 0.835905 m = 0.278635 m.
Distance 2 = 200 tercios * 0.278635 m/tercio = 55.727 meters.
Segment 3: 50 varas
1 vara = 0.835905 m.
Distance 3 = 50 varas * 0.835905 m/vara = 41.79525 meters.
Segment 4: 150 codos (cubits)
A Castilian codo (codo real or común) is 1/2 of a vara.
1 codo = 1/2 * 0.835905 m = 0.4179525 m.
Distance 4 = 150 codos * 0.4179525 m/codo = 62.692875 meters.
Segment 5: 160 sexmas
A sexma is 1/6 of a vara.
1 sexma = 1/6 * 0.835905 m = 0.1393175 m.
Distance 5 = 160 sexmas * 0.1393175 m/sexma = 22.2908 meters.
Total Distance Calculation:
Summing all the calculated distances:
Total Distance = 557.27 m + 55.727 m + 41.79525 m + 62.692875 m + 22.2908 m
Total Distance = 739.775925 meters.
However, the question asks how long did they walk before reaching the chicharróns, which means that the user is not asking for the complete trip distance.
In Clue 5 it is stated that "until you greet the old man selling duros", where 'duros' is a typical expression in Guadalajara, Jalisco to refer to the chicharróns. Therefore, the answer is the walked distance from the starting point to this old man stall, basically, without including the last distance.
Final Distance Calculation:
Summing the relevant calculated distances:
Total Distance = 557.27 m + 55.727 m + 41.79525 m + 62.692875 m
Total Distance = 717.485125 meters.
Approximation:
The question asks for an approximate distance ("aproximadamente"). Rounding to the nearest integer:
Total Distance ≈ 717 meters.
English Final Answer: 717 m.

I just returned to my hometown in Guangdong and am talking with 4 relatives. They are my paternal grandfather, maternal grandfather, younger male cousin, and nephew. Based on the following clues, can you guess who each person is?
1. During the New Year, I would say to the first person: "Wish you good health."
2. The second person says, "I have to wear a red neckscarf every day."
3. The third person says, "Come back to see your paternal grandmother ("嫲嫲") and me often, we miss you."
4. The fourth person is older than me.
|
English Reasoning:
1. "Wish you good health" wishes good health, which is a traditional New Year greeting often given to elderly family members, suggesting the first person is one of the grandfathers.
2. The "red neckscarf" refers to the Young Pioneers uniform worn by elementary school students in China, indicating this second person is a child, likely the younger male cousin or nephew.
3. The third person mentions "paternal grandmother and me," suggesting this is the paternal grandfather speaking about himself and the person's paternal grandmother. Therefore, the first person is the maternal grandfather.
4. The fourth person is older than the speaker. Since we've identified the grandfathers, this person must be the nephew who is older than the speaker, which is possible if the nephew is born to a much older sibling. However, a younger male cousin must be younger than the speaker.
English Final Answer:
1. First person: Maternal grandfather
2. Second person: Younger male cousin
3. Third person: Paternal grandfather
4. Fourth person: Nephew

Je suis bottier et je travaille pour les Fest-Noz. Les artistes vont se mettre sur leur 31 et je vais confectionner des chaussures pour tout le monde. J'ai mesuré les pieds, 5 personnes ont des pieds de 26 cm et 5 de 28 cm. Pour une chaussure en 41, il me faut 0.7m2 de cuir et pour une de taille 44, 1m2 de cuir. Combien de m2 de cuir dois-je commander pour faire toutes les chaussures ?

I am a shoemaker and I work for Fest-Noz (Breton traditional festivals). The artists are going to dress to the nines, and I will make shoes for everyone. I have measured the feet: 5 people have 26 cm feet and 5 have 28 cm feet. For a size 41 shoe, I need 0.7m2 of leather, and for a size 44, 1m2 of leather. How many m2 of leather should I order to make all the shoes?
|
First, identify the number of people for each shoe size:
5 people have 26 cm feet, which correspond to size 41.
5 people have 28 cm feet, which correspond to size 44.
Next, calculate the leather needed for size 41 shoes:
The prompt states 0.7 m² of leather is needed for one size 41 shoe.
Each person needs a pair of shoes (2 shoes).
So, for one person (a pair of size 41 shoes), the leather needed is 0.7 m²/shoe * 2 shoes = 1.4 m².
For 5 people needing size 41 shoes, the total leather is 1.4 m²/person * 5 people = 7 m².
Then, calculate the leather needed for size 44 shoes:
The prompt states 1 m² of leather is needed for one size 44 shoe.
Each person needs a pair of shoes (2 shoes).
So, for one person (a pair of size 44 shoes), the leather needed is 1 m²/shoe * 2 shoes = 2 m².
For 5 people needing size 44 shoes, the total leather is 2 m²/person * 5 people = 10 m².
Finally, calculate the total amount of leather:
Total leather = leather for size 41 shoes + leather for size 44 shoes
Total leather = 7 m² + 10 m² = 17 m².

1. Parmi les candidates, nous faisons partie des trois couleurs du ruban d'une distinction française en bronze destinée au tourisme et attribuée par le ministre du même domaine. Néanmoins, nous sommes les deux qui prennent le moins de place.
2. Ces dernières prétendantes sont rejointes par la couleur neutre de la tenue officielle des Fêtes de Bayonne.
3. Enfin, la couleur primaire est exclue.
Quelles sont donc les couleurs de ce code vestimentaire ?

2. These last contenders are joined by the neutral color of the official outfit of the "Fêtes de Bayonne".
3. Finally, the primary color is excluded.
What are the colors of this dress code?
|
"White and green". The "médaille du tourisme" is fringed with green and red (which take up less space than the blue). Bayonne Festival's neutral color is white. With the primary color excluded (red), the remaining colors are "white and green".

Si José ataja pelotas en la cancha y María opera personas en el hospital, ¿cuánto tiempo hay entre los días donde se celebran sus profesiones en Argentina?
|
167 días.
|
If José saves balls on the soccer field and María does surgery at the hospital, how much time is there between the dates where their professions are celebrated in Argentina?
|
English Reasoning: "José saves balls on the soccer field" suggests he is a goalkeeper, so his profession is celebrated on "Día del Arquero" (Goalkeeper's Day). In Argentina, this is celebrated on April 12 in honor of Amadeo Carrizo, River Plate's legend and pioneer who wore gloves for the first time. "María does surgery at the hospital", so her profession is that of a surgeon, which is celebrated on "Día del Cirujano" (Surgeon's Day) in Argentina, which is September 26. To find out how much time separates these two professional day celebrations, we calculate the days between April 12 and September 26. Then, we find that from April 12 to September 26 there are always 167 days.
English Final Answer: 167 days.

Desde el 94 mi padre no se ha perdido ningún pregón de la Aste Nagusia. Ayer le comentaba a mi madre que había ido a Bilbao a verlo 31 veces, pero mi madre le decía que no, que solamente había ido 29 veces. Teniendo en cuenta que estamos a mayo de 2025, ¿cuál de los dos tiene razón?
|
La madre.
|
Since '94 my father has not missed any “pregón” (opening ceremony proclamation) of the “Aste Nagusia” (Bilbao's big week festival). Yesterday he was telling my mother that he had gone to Bilbao to see it 31 times, but my mother told him no, that he had only gone 29 times. Considering that it is May 2025, which of them is right?
|
English Reasoning: The father started attending the “Aste Nagusia pregón” (opening ceremony of Bilbao's big week) in 1994 and has not missed any since. The current date is May 2025. The “Aste Nagusia” festival typically takes place in August. Therefore, the “pregón” for 2025 has not yet occurred. The last “pregón” the father could have attended was the one in 2024. The period during which he could have attended is from 1994 to 2024, inclusive. The total number of years in this period is 2024-1994=31 years. This is the number of times the father claims to have attended. However, for him to have “gone to Bilbao to see it”, the “pregón” must have actually taken place. The “Aste Nagusia” festival, and consequently, its “pregón”, was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the “pregón” did not occur in 2020 and 2021, he could not have attended it in those two years. The phrase “no se ha perdido ningún pregón” means he attended every “pregón” that actually happens. Therefore, the number of times actually attended the “pregón” is the total number of years in the period (31) minus the number of years the event was cancelled (2). So the actual number of attendances is 31-2=29 times. The mother stated that he had gone 29 times. Bases on this, the mother's count is correct.
English Final Answer: The mother.

Note: Peking Opera face painting is based on the character, temperament, or special type of characters for the use of certain colors. For example, the red face indicates loyalty, courage, and righteousness, the black face indicates strength, integrity, courage, and even recklessness. The colors of Peking Opera faces are divided into red, black, white, yellow, blue, gold, purple, silver, and green.
Erlang Shen is a famous mythical figure in Chinese folklore and classical literature. He is depicted as a mighty deity with a third eye in the center of his forehead. In Peking Opera, he is always portrayed as a noble and sacred figure.

- Lianpu, or the pattern of facial makeup, is a unique form of painted facial design used by actors in traditional Chinese opera, especially in Peking Opera. It serves both as a makeup technique and a visual code that conveys the personality, status, and moral alignment of the characters.
- Each color in Lianpu carries a symbolic meaning of a character’s features, temperament, and moral traits. Here are key examples:
Red: loyalty and righteousness.
Black: serious, neutral, represents strong and intelligent.
White: treacherous and suspicious, pejorative, represents deceitfulness.
Yellow: courageous and violent.
Blue: represents a straight and unruly character.
Gold: symbolizes majesty and solemnity, representing the role of a deity or fairy.
Silver: symbolizes treachery and suspicion, or solemnity, and represents ghosts and gods.
- Erlang Shen is a famous mythological figure in Chinese folklore and classic literature. He’s depicted as a mighty god with a third eye in the center of his forehead. In Peking Opera, he is always portrayed as a noble and divine character, reflecting righteousness and great spiritual power.
2. Gold is therefore the correct color to depict Erlang Shen, as it reflects his divinity and power.
While silver is also used for some deity figures, it lacks the majestic, positive connotations offered by gold, and can sometimes imply gloom, which doesn't sit well with a positive deity like Erlangshen.
English Final Answer: Gold.

有个城市，在古代叫做“南京”，现在却不是，但是名字看字面有点关联。这个“南京”到当代的南京距离是多少？
|
1000公里-1100公里

Prompt Translation to English: There is a city that was called "Nanjing" in ancient times but is not called that now, though its modern name has a literal connection. What is the distance between this ancient "Nanjing" and the contemporary Nanjing?
English Reasoning: The ancient "Nanjing" refers to modern-day Beijing, which was named "Nanjing" (Southern Capital) during the Liao Dynasty (907–1125) despite being geographically north. The modern city of Nanjing (Southern Capital) in Jiangsu Province was established later. The approximate straight-line distance between Beijing and contemporary Nanjing is calculated using geographic coordinates.
English Final Answer: The distance between ancient "Nanjing" (modern Beijing) and contemporary Nanjing is approximately 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) .

Mi novio me propuso matrimonio el día del cabildo de Getsemaní, el año en que se conmemoraron los 200 años de la independencia de Cartagena. Desde ese día hasta hoy, 1 de mayo de 2025, ¿ha caído más esa fecha en domingo o en sábado?
|
Domingo
|
My boyfriend proposed to me on the day of the day of the Gethsemane council (cabildo of Getsemaní), held in the year in which the 200th anniversary of Cartagena's independence was commemorated. From that day until today (May 1, 2025), has that date fallen more often on Sunday or Saturday?
|
English Reasoning: The Getsemaní Cabildo (Gethsemane council) is a carnival that honors the African heritage of the "Gestemanicenses" (people from getsemaní´s neighborhood) and the struggles led by their ancestors for the independence of Colombia, which is held in the popular Getsemaní neighborhood in Cartagena. The key idea is to understand that the marriage proposal was just the day that the Gethsemane council took place during the celebration of Cartagena's 200 years of independence, which took place in 2011. This is known because the independence of Cartagena de Indias (Colombia) was declared on November 11, 1811 (1811 + 200 = 2011). According to bibliographic sources, the date of this council (cabildo) is the second Sunday of November, which in 2011 coincides with the date November 13, 2011. So, to know if this date has fallen more on Sunday or Saturday, we must know the leap years from 2011 to 2025 (2012, 2016, 2020, 2024). Taking this into account, we find the years in which this date coincides with Saturday and Sunday:
Saturday: 2021
Sunday: 2011, 2016, 2022.
Therefore, November 13 has fallen one (1) time on Saturday and three (3) times on Sunday. Thus, this date has fallen more on Sunday than Saturday from 2011 to 2025.
Most models assume that the date is November 11, not 13. However, independence is celebrated on the 11th, and the council (cabildo) is celebrated on another day, which for the year 2011 coincided with Sunday, November 13th.
English Final Answer: Sunday (In Spanish, domingo).

Conical granaries were common structures during the Ming Dynasty. In the Gulou District of Nanjing, there is a granary from the Ming Dynasty. Its structure consists of a cylindrical lower part topped by a conical upper part. According to the stone inscription inside the granary, the diameter of its base is 20 chi and 5 cun (chi and cun are measurements in the Ming Dynasty), the height of the lower cylindrical part is 20 chi, and the height of the upper conical part is 5 chi. Assuming one cubic chi of space can hold 1600 jin of grain, calculate the total capacity of this granary in jin (use π = 3.14, and round the result to two decimal places).
|
English Reasoning:
To calculate the total capacity of this granary in jin:
1. Convert the measurements between the Ming Dynasty and modern scales
* 1 chi = 32 cm = 0.32 m
* 1 cun = 3.2 cm = 0.032 m
2. The diamter of "20 chi and 5 cun" can be converted to modern scale:
* φ = 20 * 0.32 m + 5 * 0.032 m = 6.56 m
3. The radius of the granary:
* r = 0.5 * φ = 3.28 m
4. The heights of the lower cylindrical part and the upper conical part:
* hl = 20 * 0.32 m = 6.4 m
* hu = 5 * 0.32 m = 1.6 m
5. Calculate the volumes of the lower cylindrical part and the upper conical part:
* vl = r^2 * π * hl = 3.28 m * 3.28 m * 3.14 * 6.4 m = 216.2008064 m^3
* vu = (1/3) * r^2 * π * hu = (1/3) * 3.28 m * 3.28 m * 3.14 * 1.6 m = 18.0167338667 m^3
6. Calculate the total volume of the granary:
* v = vl + vu = 216.2008064 m^3 + 18.0167338667 m^3 = 234.217540267 m^3
7. Calculate the grains to be contained:
* w = 234.217540267 m^3 * 1600 jin/m^3 = 374748.064427 jin ≈ 374748.06 jin
English Final Answer: 374748.06 jin

妈妈发现家里的猫吃腻了猫粮，觉得不对劲，你猜为什么？
|
因为有“猫腻”！
|
Mom noticed that our cat at home had grown tired of eating cat food and felt that something was off. Why do you think that is?
|
English Reasoning:
The prompt plays on the idea that the cat getting tired of eating cat food hints at something unusual, making Mom feel that something isn't right. This sets up a pun. In Chinese, "猫腻" (māo nì) sounds like "cat" (猫) and "tired" (腻), where 腻 means "fed up with" or "tired of." However, "猫腻" is actually a Chinese idiom meaning "something fishy" or "something suspicious." The phrase "觉得不对劲" ("feels something is wrong") hints that the real answer lies in this wordplay—not the cat’s behavior itself, but the hidden pun.
English Final Answer:
Because "猫腻" (māo nì), which combines "cat" (猫) and "tired" (腻), sounds like the cat is tired of cat food, but actually is a Chinese idiom meaning "something fishy" or "something suspicious." So Mom sensed that there was "猫腻"—something wasn’t right!

Mon tout, suivant la personne, peut prendre un d comme un t, un a comme un e.
|
Rencard (rencart-rancard-rancart).
|
My first can be shaken or be drawn back into. My second is the last syllable of a name, useful for remembering logical connections. My whole, depending on the person, can take a d like a t, an a like an e.
|
rencard. The first clue refers to the expressions “serrer les rangs” (close the ranks) and “être ramené dans les rangs” (be brought back into the ranks), so the first part is rang. The mnemonic name “Ornicar” (from “Mais où est donc Ornicar ?”) helps recall the French coordinating conjunctions, and its last syllable is car. Combining rang + car gives the pronunciation “rencar,” which is spelled rencard in slang. Finally, this word can be written rencard (with d) or rencart (with t), and its spelling also shifts the a of rang to e in ren, matching the clue about d ↔ t and a ↔ e.

为什么冬天天冷的时候要把鸡弄死？
|
因为杀鸡取暖（卵）
|
Why do chickens have to be killed when it's cold in winter?
|
English Reasoning: Chengyu is a traditional Chinese idiomatic expressions, usually it consists of four Chinese characters. One of Chengyu is "杀鸡取卵", of which "杀鸡" means "kill the hen", and "取卵" means “get the eggs". Therefore, "杀鸡取卵" means "kill the hen to get the eggs", which is extended to a metaphor for seeking immediate benefits without considering long-term interests.
However, "卵" (luǎn) and "暖" (nuǎn) have a similar pronounce, and in fact, these two words are pronounced the same in some Chinese dialect (especially in Fujian Province). Hence, it can be misheard as "杀鸡取暖", of which "取暖" means "Heating". "杀鸡取暖" means "kill the hen for heating".
The prompt is asking "Why do chickens have to be killed when it's cold in winter?", so the answer is "kill the hen for heating".
English Final Answer: It is for heating, becuase "kill the hen for heating ""杀鸡取暖(卵)." The key is the homophone between "暖" (nuǎn) and "卵" (luǎn)

En Gascogne, lors du premier tour d'un match amical individuel de jeu de quilles de six au maillet, Laurent a fait tomber 5 quilles lors de son premier lancer, puis 2 quilles lors du second lancer ainsi que 2 autres quilles lors du troisième lancer. Quand à lui, Clément a fait tomber trois quilles lors du premier lancer, puis a également fait tomber 2 quilles dans le second et troisième lancer. Quel est le score a l'issue de ce premier tour ?
|
"Le score est de 1 à 1."
|
In Gascony, during the first round of a friendly individual game of "quilles de six au maillet" (six-pin skittles with a mallet), Laurent knocked down 5 pins on his first throw, then 2 pins on his second throw, and another 2 pins on his third throw. Meanwhile, Clément knocked down three pins on his first throw, then also knocked down 2 pins on the second and third throws. What is the score at the end of this first round?
|
The score for the first round is 1 to 1.
If five pins fall after the first mallet is thrown, the player scores a point; the pins are replaced and, using the two remaining mallets, he can throw again for further attempts. As Laurent had scored 1 point on the first throw, on the second throw he knocked down 2 pins out of 6, leaving him with 4, and knocked down another 2 on the last throw, leaving him with 2 at the end of the round and therefore unable to collect another point.
Whereas Clément had knocked down 3 on the first throw, so he had 3 left on the second throw, and since he knocked down 2 on the second throw, he was able to knock down 5 in two throws, thereby earning a point, and the pins are replaced, so on the last throw he knocks down 2 so that at the end 4 pins remain, thus not being able to accumulate another point. We can therefore conclude that both players had a score of 1 to 1 in the first round.

Pour le jour de la tradition païenne ou les gens allumaient des feu pour célébrer le retour du soleil, qui correspond au solstice, cette année, je souhaiterais me rendre dans la cité ponnote pour les célébrations. J'ai des vacances pendant le mois du même nom que la music de Natalie Jane mais seulement la dernière semaine. Cela s'accorde t-il au niveau du calendrier ?
|
Oui.

For the day of the pagan tradition where people light fires to celebrate the return of the sun, corresponding to the solstice, this year, I would like to go to the "cité ponnote" for the celebration. I have vacation during the month named after Natalie Jane's music, but only for the last week. Does this align with the calendar?
|
Yes, your vacation timing likely aligns. The pagan tradition celebrating the return of the sun with bonfires corresponds to the Summer Solstice (around June 20th/21st). In France, this is often celebrated as the Fête de la Saint-Jean, typically on the night of June 23rd to 24th. Assuming the month you refer to (related to Natalie Jane's music) is June, your vacation during the last week of June should coincide perfectly with the Saint-Jean celebrations in Le Puy-en-Velay ("cité ponnote").

小鸡、小猪、小狗和你一起过河，为什么小鸡过不去呢？
|
鸡不可湿（机不可失）
|
A chick (鸡), a piglet, a puppy, and you are crossing a river together. Why can't (不可) the chick cross?
|
English reasoning:
This joke is a pun based on Chinese homophones. Key wordplay:
鸡不可湿 (jī bù kě shī) literally means "the chick cannot get wet."
机不可失 (jī bù kě shī) literally means "opportunity cannot be lost". It is a common Chinese idiom meaning "an opportunity must not be missed".
鸡不可湿 (jī bù kě shī) and 机不可失 (jī bù kě shī) have exactly the same sound in Chinese, which creates the pun. The humor comes from replacing the serious idiom about "seizing opportunities" with a completely literal and silly interpretation about a chick being unable to get wet when crossing water.
Final English answer: Because "a chick can't get wet" (鸡不可湿) sounds like "an opportunity must not be missed" (机不可失) in Chinese.

Mi nana nos pidió que trajeramos agua a su casa. Vive en un pueblo de Oaxaca, muy cerca de un río. Luis, Paloma y yo fuimos por ella. Luis trajo 1 canoa, Paloma media canoa, y yo traje 0.8 canoa.
¿Cuántos veces necesitamos ir por agua para llenar una pila de 248 litros?
|

|
My "nana" (grandmother) asked us to bring water to her house. She lives in a town in Oaxaca, very close to a river. Luis, Paloma, and I went to get it. Luis brought 1 canoe (Mexica volume measuring unit, equivalent to 27 liters), Paloma brought half a canoe, and I brought 0.8 canoe. How many times do we need to go for water to fill a 248-liter tank?
|
English Reasoning: First, we need to determine the total amount of water they can carry in one trip. We know that Luis brought 1 canoe, Paloma brought 0.5 canoes, and you brought 0.8 canoes. So, in total, they brought 1 + 0.5 + 0.8 = 2.3 canoes.
A "canoa" or canoe is a Mexica volume measuring unit, equivalent to 27 liters. So for every trip, they bring 2.3 x 27 = 62.1 liters of water.
Now, they need to fill up a 248-liter tank. If we divide this by the amount of liters per trip:
248 / 62.1 = 3.993 trips.
Since there can't be half or partial trips, they need to make one more trip, for a total of 4 trips.
English Final Answer: 4 times (in Spanish, 4 veces).

En la hacienda de café de mi familia en Venezuela, se producían 4 quintales de café pergamino semanales y luego, le vendían a las empresas locales el kilogramo de café a un cobre. ¿De cuántos bolívares era la producción semanal de la hacienda?
|
11.5 bolívares
|
On my family's coffee farm in Venezuela, 4 "quintales" (57.5 kg/quintal) of parchment coffee were produced weekly and then sold to local companies at a certain price per kilogram; the production was paid in "bolívares" (Venezuelan currency), and it is known that they sold the kilogram of coffee at "1 cobre" (0.05 bolívares). How many "bolívares" (Venezuelan currency) was the weekly production of the farm worth?
|
English Reasoning:
First, we need to know the meaning of each term:
• Quintales: plural of quintal, traditional Hispanic measure. Equivalent to 57.5 kg/quintal.
• Bolívares: Venezuelan currency.
• Cobre: old Venezuelan currency. Equivalent to 0.05 bolívares.
Now, let's calculate the weekly income of the farm step by step:
1. Production in kilogram per week.
We know that:
4 quintales were produced weekly.
1 quintal = 57.5 kg
Then:
4 quintales x 57.5 kg/quintal = 230 kg/week.
2. Price per kilogram
1 kilogram was sold for "1 cobre."
1 cobre = 0.05 bolívares.
Then:
230 kg x 0.05 Bs./kg = Bs. 11.5
Result:
Weekly farm production generated 11.5 bolívares.
English Final Answer: Bs. 11.5 (in Spanish "11.5 bolívares").

我是农历6月13出生的，今年2025我可以过2个生日耶，你猜分别是哪2天呢？
|
2025年7月7日，2025年8月6日
|
I was born on the 13th day of the 6th lunar month. In 2025, I get to celebrate my birthday twice—can you guess on which two dates?
|
English Reasoning:
- A leap month in the Chinese lunar calendar, which is inserted into the lunar calendar to keep it aligned with the solar year.
- In 2025, the leap month falls in the sixth lunar month. Here’s why: between July 23 and August 22 of 2025, there is only one solar term, Beginning of Autumn, but it lacks a central solar term like End of Heat, which instead shifts to the next lunar month. According to traditional Chinese calendar rules, a lunar month that lacks a central solar term becomes the leap month—hence, we get an extra 6th month.
Because of this, in 2025, the 13th day of the sixth lunar month occurs twice:
- July 7, 2025 (Lunar Month 6, Day 13)
- August 6, 2025 (Leap Lunar Month 6, Day 13)
Since birthdays in many Chinese families are traditionally celebrated according to the lunar calendar, this unique calendrical setup means the user can rightfully celebrate my birthday twice a year.
English Final Answer:
July 7, 2025, and August 6, 2025

Mi hermana me ha pedido que, para el bolo, no sea codo, por lo que le he añadido más feria al asunto y al final terminé con una milpa, 2 Sor Juanas, 3 ajolotitos y 2 ciegos. Fui al banco, a Texcoco, y pedí que el billete de mayor denominación me lo cambiaran por monedas de a varo y el resto en monedas de a tostón. ¿Cuántas monedas me han dado al final?
|
2500
|
My sister asked me not to be stingy for the "bolo" (money gift, usually at baptisms in Mexico), so I added more "feria" money to it, and in the end, I had one "milpa" (1,000 MXN bill), 2 "Sor Juanas" (200 MXN bills), 3 "ajolotitos" (50 MXN bills), and 2 "ciegos" (100 MXN bills). I went to the bank in Texcoco and asked for the highest denomination bill to be exchanged for "varo" coins (1 MXN coins) and the rest into "tostón" coins (0.50 MXN coins). How many coins did I get in the end?
|
English Reasoning:
First, let's calculate the total amount of money:
1. "Una milpa" refers to a 1,000 MXN bill. So, 1 x 1000 = 1,000 MXN.
2. "Sor Juanas" refers to 200 MXN bills. So, 2 x 200 = 400 MXN.
3. "Ajolotitos" refers to 50 MXN bills. So, 3 x 50 = 150 MXN.
4. "ciegos" refers to 100 MXN bills. So, 2 x 100 = 200 MXN.
Total money = 1,000 + 400 + 150 + 200 = 1,750 MXN.
The highest denomination bill is the 1,000 MXN bill ("una milpa"). This amount is exchanged for "monedas de a varo," which are 1 MXN coins.
Number of 1 MXN coins = 1,000 MXN ÷ 1 MXN/coin = 1,000 coins.
The rest of the money corresponds to the total amount minus the highest denomination bill:
Remaining money = 1,750 MXN - 1,000 MXN = 750 MXN.
This remaining amount is exchanged for "monedas de a tostón," which are 0.50 MXN coins.
Number of 0.50 MXN coins = 750 MXN ÷ 0.50 MXN/coin = 1,500 coins.
Total number of coins = (coins from the highest denomination bill) + (coins from the remaining amount)
Total coins = 1,000 + 1,500 = 2,500 coins.
English Final Answer: 2,500

En un paradero del centro de Chiclayo hay una señora que vende cachangas con champús todos los días, uno de los pequeños placeres de ser norteño. Hoy me acerqué a hacer mi pedido y la señito me dijo de forma preventiva "si me paga con 50 cocos solo tengo para el vuelto 4 manitos y el resto ferritos"
Si mi cuenta salió 14.50, ¿cuántas monedas recibiré en total?
|

|
At a bus stop in downtown Chiclayo, a city in northern Peru, a woman is selling a local food called “cachangas” (a typical snack of Peruvian cuisine) and “champús” (a traditional Peruvian dessert), one of the simple pleasures of northern life.
Today, when I went to place my order, the “señito” (in Spanish, a diminutive for lady) told me in advance: “If you pay with a 50 "cocos" (slang for a 50 PEN bill), I only have 4 manitos (slang for a 5 PEN coin), and the rest of your change will be in ferritos (slang for a 0.10 PEN coin).”
If my total was 14.50 PEN, how many coins will I receive in total?
|
English Reasoning: Before calculating the number of coins, it's important to understand a few cultural details from Peru, especially local slang used for money and how change is typically given.
In Peru:
-“Coco” is a slang term for soles, the official currency of Peru (PEN). It’s often used to refer to bills in multiples of 10. So, 50 cocos mean 50 PEN.
-“Manito” refers to a 5 PEN coin. The word comes from “mano” (hand) and is a playful way to say “five,” like the five fingers on a hand.
-“Ferrito” is slang for a 0.10 PEN coin (10 cents).
In this case, a street vendor in Chiclayo tells the customer she only has 4 "manitos" (5 PEN) and the rest of the change will be in "ferritos" (0.10 PEN).
If the customer paid 50.00 PEN and the purchase cost 14.50 PEN, the total change is:
50.00 – 14.50 = 35.50 PEN
From that:
-4 manitos = 4 × 5.00 PEN = 20.00 PEN
-The remaining 15.50 PEN will be given in "Ferritos".
Since each ferrito is worth 0.10 PEN, we need: 15.50 ÷ 0.10 = 155 ferritos
Total coins given as change:
-> 4 "manitos" (4 coins of 5.00 PEN)
->155 "ferritos" (155 coins of 0.10 PEN)
Then, the total number of coins to be received in the exchange is 159.

Fui a un grupo de apoyo emocional para personas con distintos problemas. Al inicio cada persona tuvo que presentarse:
—Milena es una pobre viuda.
—Luciana es una viuda pobre.
—Carlos es un bombero rico.
—Mike es un rico abogado.
Todas se veían de diferentes clases sociales. Tomando en cuenta la descripción de cada uno ¿Quién tiene menos dinero y quién es más adinerado?
|
Luciana tiene menos dinero.
Carlos es el más adinerado.
|
I went to an emotional support group for people with different problems. At the beginning, each person had to introduce themselves:
—Milena is a poor widow ("pobre viuda", a person who is unfortunate).
—Luciana is a poor widow ("viuda pobre", a person who lacks money).
—Carlos is a rich firefighter ("bombero rico", a person with a lot of money).
—Mike is an attractive lawyer ("rico abogado", a very beautiful person).
They all looked from different social classes. Taking into account the description of each one, who has less money and who is wealthier?
|
English Reasoning: In Spanish, the position of the adjective relative to the noun changes the meaning. When an adjective comes before the noun, it often has a more subjective or metaphorical meaning, while after the noun it has a more literal meaning. In this case, "Pobre viuda" suggests Milena is unfortunate but not necessarily financially poor, while "viuda pobre" means Luciana is literally poor financially.
Similarly, "bombero rico" means Carlos is wealthy and he has a lot of money, while "rico abogado" suggests Mike is a very attractive person, but not necessarily wealthy—In Spanish, "rico" usually means "rich" or "wealthy," and when describing food, it means "tasty" or "delicious," but "rico" can also be used with people to mean "lovely," "cute," or "sexy."
To get a correct answer, it's important to consider two aspects. The first is the word order, since the meaning depends on it. The second is to take into account that in many Latin American countries, the word "rico" can be used to describe something or someone who is very physically attractive, especially when the word is used before the noun.
English Final Answer:
—Luciana has the least money.
—Carlos is the wealthiest.

Si ellos van en una moto eléctrica, con cuya batería pueden recorrer 50 kilómetros hasta descargarse, ¿cuántas veces deben recargar la moto eléctrica hasta llegar a su destino?

Two friends are on the trail of a unique bird species in the Colombian Pacific. They have an old map indicating that they need to travel 60 leagues ("leguas," an old measure of distance) north from their current location, then turn left and travel an additional 20 leagues. From there, on foot ("a pielillo" means walking), 12 leagues northwest, turn right where they will find a large beech tree, and from there travel 8 more leagues to find the possible bird refuge. If they are on an electric motorcycle whose battery can travel 50 kilometers before running out, how many times must they recharge the electric motorcycle to reach their destination?

English Reasoning: To solve this question, there are two important keys:
1. It is necessary to understand the concept of league ("legua"), which is an ancient measure of distance. This measure depends on the geographic location where it is used. In Colombia, until the middle of the 19th century, a version of the legua called the legua granadina was used, which was equivalent to 5 km (5,000 m). As the friends are looking for birds in the Colombian Pacific, it is understood that the conversion from leguas to kilometers will be based on the measurement in Colombia, not in other countries.
2. The friends travel 60 leagues to the north, then turn left and travel 20 more leagues by motorcycle. They travel the other 2 leagues to the northwest, and from there travel 8 more leagues by walking, not by motorcycle. It is known that they are walking because of the colloquial expression “a pielillo” (on foot), which means to walk or walk on foot.
Taking this into account, only the kilometers that they go by motorcycle should be taken into account, not on foot. That is, 60 leagues plus 20 leagues for a total of 80 leagues.
Then, considering that 1 league is 5 kilometers, the total travel distance is 400 kilometers (80 × 5 = 400 kilometers). If the loaded motorcycle lasts a distance equal to 50 kilometers, to cover these 400 kilometers, the motorcycle must be recharged 8 times (400 ÷ 50 = 8).

Mon grand frère et moi nous vivons dans le département de Lot. Il sera majeur 2 jours avant la journée Internationale de la Jeunesse. Aura-t-il l'âge pour nous conduire aux journées Ecaussitoyennes à Gignac cette année de 2025?
|
Non
|
My older brother and I live in the Lot department. He will turn 18 (become of legal age) 2 days before International Youth Day. Will he be old enough to drive us to the Ecaussitoyennes days (Ecaussystème festival) in Gignac this year, 2025?
|
No. In France, you must be 18 to drive a car legally. International Youth Day is on August 12, so your brother turns 18 on August 10. The Ecaussitoyennes days or the Ecaussystème Festival is held yearly in Gignac(Lot) in late July, more precisely the last weekend of July. This year, 2025, it is scheduled for July 25, 26, and 27.

Mi hermano Ángel nació en Cantaura, el mismo día de la celebración del santo patrono de dicha ciudad. Él no es muy religioso y no le gusta que le celebren su cumpleaños ese día, siempre nos pide que se lo celebremos el sábado posterior a su cumpleaños. ¿En qué fecha le celebraremos el cumpleaños a mi hermano en el año 2026?

7 de febrero
|
My brother Ángel was born in Cantaura (city in Venezuela), on the same day of the celebration of the patron saint of that city. He is not very religious and doesn't like his birthday celebrated on that day, he always asks us to celebrate it on the Saturday after his birthday. On what date will we celebrate my brother's birthday in the year 2026?
|
English Reasoning: First, identify Ángel actual birth date. His birthday is on the feast day of the patron saint of Cantaura (city of Venezuela) The patron saint of Cantaura, Anzoátegui, Venezuela is Our Lady of Candelaria (Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria). Her day is celebrated on February 2nd. Second, determine the date of the celebration in 2026. The celebration is held on the Saturday after his birthday (February 2nd). We need to find what day of the week, February 2nd, 2026, falls on. Checking a calendar, February 2nd, 2026, is a Monday. The Saturday immediately following Monday, February 2nd 2026, is February 7th, 2026.
English Final Answer: February 7th (in Spanish, "7 de febrero")

The 'Ruijin ingot,' a family heirloom of the Chen family in Jiangnan, has been passed down through generations. First recorded in the 'Chen Family Genealogy Appendix' during the Tang Dynasty, it weighed one jin and eight liang. By the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the revised genealogy noted its weight as one jin and five liang, indicating some erosion. Please directly convert the weights in jin and liang from both periods to metric units, and how much lighter is the "Ruijin ingot" recorded in the Yuan Dynasty compared to that in the Tang Dynasty?
|
English Reasoning:
To determine the weights in metric units and the difference, we need to use historical conversion rates for "Jin" (斤) and "Liang" (两) for the Tang and Yuan dynasties. The weight of jin and liang will be directly converted into grams (g) as the prompt requested.
1. Tang Dynasty Conversion Factors:
- 1 jin is equal to 661g.
- 1 liang is equal to 41.3g.
2. Yuan Dynasty Conversion Factors:
- 1 jin is equal to 633g.
- 1 liang is equal to 40g.
3. Calculate the Tang Dynasty Weight in Metric Units:
- The ingot weighed 1 jin 8 liang
- 1 jin = 661g
- 8 liang = 8 * 41.3g = 330.4g
- Total weight in Tang Dynasty: 661g + 330.4g = 991.4g
4. Calculate the Yuan Dynasty Weight in Metric Units:
- The ingot weighed 1 jin 5 liang
- 1 jin = 633g
- 5 liang = 5 * 40g = 200g
- Total weight in Yuan Dynasty: 633g + 200g = 833g
5. Calculate the Difference in Weight:
- Difference = Tang Dynasty weight - Yuan Dynasty weight
- Difference = 991.4g = 833g = 158.40g
English Final Answer: 158.40g
