Órdenes da, órdenes recibe, algunas autoriza y otras prohíbe. Cuando accede, yo celebro. ¿De quién se trata?
|
El cerebro
|
Orders it gives, orders it receives, some it authorizes and others it prohibits. When it grants access, I celebrate (celebro). Who is it?
In Spanish, the word "celebro" sounds like "cerebro".
|
English reasoning: The riddle plays with the Spanish word "Celebro" which sounds like "Cerebro". In this context, it makes sense for it to be the brain, as it gives and receives orders to the body. The pun is created by exchanging the meaning of the two words.
English final answer: The brain (In spanish, mean cerebro).

Every year my friends and I have gone to the Tomatina (Spanish popular festival). We have gone from 2017 to 2024 both inclusive, but in the years when it was celebrated on the 28th we didn't go. How many years have we gone?
|
English reasoning: Firstly, identify the total range of years: 2017 to 2024 inclusive. This is 2024-2017+1= 8 years. Then identify the exclusion rule: they did not go if the Tomatina (Spanish festival related to tomatoes) was celebrated on the 28th of the month. The Tomatina is celebrated on the last Wednesday of August. Finally, the Tomatina was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic.
2017–August 30th (they went)
2018–August 29th (they went)
2019–August 28th (they did not go)
2020–August 26th (canceled due to pandemic)
2021–August 25th (canceled due to pandemic)
2022–August 31st (they went)
2023–August 30th (they went)
2024–August 28th (they did not go)
The years you did go, it's 2017, 2018, 2022 and 2023. In total, you've been to the Tomatina for four years.

下面是四个人的对话，
B：爸，有些话我们两个不太敢说，但觉得您应该往前走一走。
D：姥爷一直腿脚不错，经常往前走。
C：去去去。爸，我们两个都觉得刘姨不错。您一个人把小佳拉扯到大，现在有外孙女了，也该多考虑考虑自己了。
B：爸，您别害羞，我看您二位经常出去玩。刘姨老伴也走得早。
A：你两口子今天就为了这个？
D：爸，我刚看到刘奶奶出门了。就在我妈说话的时候。
A：那我出去走走。
请分析A，B，C，D都是谁？
|
A是爷爷，B是妈妈，C是爸爸，D是女儿。
|
Below is a conversation among four people,
B: Dad, there are some things that we two ("我们两个," indicating that the other person and the speaker are bonded, likely by marriage) dare not say, but we think you should move forward.
D: Grandpa (姥爷, "Maternal Grandfather") always has good legs and is able to walk forward.
C: Shoo, shoo. Dad, we both think Aunt Liu is nice. You’ve raised Xiaojia alone, and now you also have a granddaughter. You should think more about yourself.
B: Dad, don’t be shy. I’ve seen the two of you going out often. Aunt Liu’s husband passed away long ago.
A: Did you two come ("你两口子," referring to the couple) here today just for this?
D: Dad, I just saw Grandma Liu leaving. Right when Mom was speaking.
A: Then I’ll go out for a walk.
Please analyze who A, B, C, and D are.
|
English Reasoning:
1. B calls A "爸" (Dad). This means A is B's father. B also says "我们两个" (we two), implying B is with a partner (C).
2. D calls A "姥爷" (Maternal Grandfather). This means A is D's mother's father. Since A is B's father, B must be D's mother.
3. C calls A "爸" (Dad). C also says "我们两个" (we two) referring to himself and B, suggesting C is B's husband and thus A's son-in-law. C mentions A raised "小佳" (Xiaojia) and now has a "外孙女" (maternal granddaughter, which is D). "Xiaojia" is likely B.
4. A addresses B and C as "你两口子" (you couple), confirming B and C are married.
5. D calls C "爸" (Dad) and refers to B as "我妈" (my mom). This confirms C is D's father and B is D's mother.
6. The conversation revolves around B and C encouraging A to pursue a relationship with "刘姨" (Auntie Liu), whom D calls "刘奶奶" (Grandma Liu).
Therefore:
1. A is the father of B, the father-in-law of C, and the maternal grandfather of D.
2. B is the daughter of A, the wife of C, and the mother of D.
3. C is the son-in-law of A, the husband of B, and the father of D.
4. D is the daughter of B and C, and the maternal granddaughter of A.
English Final Answer:
A: The father (of B), who is also the maternal grandfather (姥爷 to D). He is being encouraged to pursue a relationship with Auntie Liu.
B: A's daughter, C's wife, and D's mother. She is likely the "小佳" (Xiaojia) mentioned by C.
C: A's son-in-law, B's husband, and D's father.
D: The daughter of B and C, and A's maternal granddaughter (外孙女).

Pourquoi est-ce qu'on a tendance à dire souvent que Napoléon 1er était un bon agent immobilier ?
|
"Bonaparte" sonne comme "bon appart".
|
Why do people often say that Napoleon 1st was a good real estate agent ?
|
It's because Napoleon 1st's last name is "Bonaparte", which could be heard as "bon appart'" in French which means "good appart", "appart" being a slang for "appartment".

Last year (2024), my younger brother's birthday happened to coincide with the Mid-Autumn Festival. Also, based on Chinese law, this day also symbolized him officially entering his adulthood.Therefore, we held a grand celebration for him. What is my younger brother's date of birth as shown on his ID card based on the Gregorian calendar?
|
English Reasoning: Based on the prompt, last year(2024), the user's younger brother's birthday coincided with that of the Mid-Autumn Festival. And Mid-Autumn Festival in 2024 was on September 17. As such, his/her younger brother was born on September 17.

Therefore, the user's younger brother's date of birth would be September 17, 2006, based on the Gregorian calendar.
English Final Answer: September 17, 2006

Je travaille en Guadeloupe et je dois faire garder mon petit monstre les jours fériés et les jours de vacances scolaires sauf si cela tombe le week-end. Je dois prévoir le budget de la nounou pour le mois de mars 2024. La nounou prend 20 euros si c'est un jour durant les vacances scolaires et 30 euros si c'est un jour férié. Combien vais-je devoir payer la nounou pour le mois de mars 2024 ?

I work in Guadeloupe and I need to have my little monster looked after on public holidays and school vacation days, unless they fall on weekends. I need to budget for the babysitter for March 2024. The babysitter charges 20 euros for school vacation days and 30 euros for public holidays. How much will I need to pay the babysitter for March 2024?
|
To calculate the childcare cost for March 2024, we need to identify the relevant weekdays that are either public holidays or school holidays in Guadeloupe. Weekends are excluded.
Public Holidays: only one day in march 2024 which is mid-lent ("mi-carême") and it falls March 7th (Thursday) so to have the child looked after it will cost 30 euros.
School holidays in 2024 : Easter holidays (Thursday, March 28, 2024 to Monday, April 15, 2024). School vacation begin after the class of Thursday, March 28 (according to Guadeloupe's academy) so there is only one day of school vacation if we exclude the weekends.
Therefore, the total cost to look after the child is 30 + 20 = 50 euros.

Last weekend, I visited the provincial museum and saw a land deed from the Tang Dynasty. The deed recorded a piece of land that was ten zhang, nine chi, eight cun, and seven fen long; and six zhang, five chi, four cun, and three fen wide, with the "small chi" of the Tang Dynasty as the unit. There was a square pond with a side length of one zhang in the middle of this land. Please help me calculate the area of this piece of land in modern square meters (excluding the pond).
|
English Reasoning:
To calculate the area of this land in modern square meters (excluding the pond).
1. Conversion between the "small chi" in the Tang Dynasty and modern dimensions:
* 1 zhang = 3 m
* 1 chi = 0.3 m
* 1 cun = 0.03 m
* 1 fen = 0.003 m
2. Calculate the length and width in modern dimensions:
* Length (land): 10*3+9*0.3+8*0.03+7*0.003=32.961 m
* Width (land): 6*3+5*0.3+4*0.03+3*0.003=19.629 m
* Length (pond): 1*3=3 m
3. Calculate the areas in modern dimensions:
* Land: 32.961*19.629=646.991469 sq.m.
* Pond: 3*3=9 sq.m.
4. Calculate the area of the land excluding the pond:
* 646.991469-9=637.991469 sq.m.
English Final Answer: 637.991469 sq.m.

Mi hermana nació el día de la Batalla de Puebla, pero en el mismo de la canción de Natalia Lafourcade donde menciona a Gael García y Ricky Martin. Según ella, su cumpleaños nunca ha caído en sábado. Obvio, se equivoca, pero para ser precisos y restregarle la verdad sin objeciones, dime, ¿Cuántas veces, desde que nació hasta hoy, 1 de mayo de 2025, el cumpleaños de mi hermana ha caído en sábado?
|
4 veces
|
My sister was born on the day of the Battle of Puebla, but in the same year as the title of that Natalia Lafourcade hit song where she mentions Gael García and Ricky Martin. According to her, her birthday has never fallen on a Saturday. Obviously, she's wrong, but to be precise and rub the truth in her face without objections, tell me, how many times, since she was born until today, May 1, 2025, has my sister's birthday fallen on a Saturday?
|
English Reasoning: First, we need to determine the sister's birth date. The Battle of Puebla is celebrated on May 5th. The Natalia Lafourcade hit song mentioning Gael García and Ricky Martin with a year in the title is "En el 2000" (in the year 2000). Therefore, the sister's birth date is May 5, 2000. The period to check is from her birth date (May 5, 2000) up to the date specified, May 1, 2025. This means we need to check May 5th for each year from 2000 to 2024, since May 5th, 2025, has not occurred yet relative to the query date.
The years from 2000 to 2024 that May 5th has fallen on Saturday are:
- May 5, 2001
- May 5, 2007
- May 5, 2012
- May 5, 2018
Therefore, from May 5, 2000, to May 1, 2025, the sister's birthday (May 5th) has fallen on a Saturday 4 times.

This week, my roommates, Weijian and Jimin, and I couldn't go home for the holiday due to a university group project. Coming from different hometowns, we decided to prepare our holiday feast in the dormitory. Weijian, from Heilongjiang, made dumplings; Jimin, from Jiangnan, insisted on glutinous rice balls; and I prepared fragrant mutton soup. Can you guess where my hometown is?
|
English Reasoning: Dumplings are a staple in northern Chinese cuisine, especially during traditional festivals in Heilongjiang. In contrast, glutinous rice balls are commonly enjoyed in the Jiangnan region during the mid-autumn and winter solstice festivals. Mutton soup, particularly popular in Sichuan, is associated with winter solstice celebrations, reflecting regional characteristics and customs, and is more in line with the context.
English Final Answer: Sichuan Province.

Estoy en un parque Huaral escuchando el último disco de Mauricio Mesones. Cerca a mí hay un grupo hablando y se dirigen entre ellos así:
-Patrick le dice a Alex: tú eres mi "causita"
-Alex le dice a Nico: siempre contigo, "viejito"
-Alejandro le dice a Alex: mi casi tocayo, el "casi padre" de mi enano
-Alex le dice a Juan: mi "cachorro"
¿Qué vinculos tienen esos hombres con Alex?
|
Patrick es amigo de Alex.
Nico es papá de Alex.
Alejandro es compadre de Alex.
Juan es hijo de Alex.
|
I’m sitting in a park in Huaral, Peru, listening to the latest album by Mauricio Mesones. Nearby, a group of men is chatting and addressing each other like this:
-Patrick says to Alex: You are my 'causita' ("Causita" is a popular Peruvian slang term for a good friend or buddy).
-Alex says to Nico: Always with you, 'viejito' ("Viejito" is an affectionate term for one’s father or an older male.).
-Alejandro says to Alex: My almost namesake and 'casi padre' of my child ("Casi padre" refers to the godfather of a child).
-Alex says to Juan: "My puppy – 'cachorro' ("Cachorro" means puppy and is a slang term in Peru to refer to one’s son).
Based on these expressions, what relationships do these men have with Alex?
|
English Reasoning: To identify Alex's relationships with the other men present, we must consider the following:
"Causita" is a Peruvian slang term used to refer to a good friend, someone very close, with whom there is a strong sense of trust. This expression reflects a close, friendly relationship based on camaraderie and complicity.
"Viejito" is an affectionate term used within the family to refer to the father or an older male figure in the home.
"Cachorro" is a slang term used to affectionately and protectively refer to one's child.
"Casi padre" refers to the godfather of a child. In many Latin American cultures, the godfather holds an important role, almost like a second father to the child. The relationship between the father and the godfather is known as a compadres relationship.
Based on these definitions, we can deduce the following relationships:
Patrick and Alex: The fact that Patrick calls Alex "causita" indicates a close, trusted friendship, suggesting they are very good friends.
Nico and Alex: Alex calling Nico "viejito" suggests that Nico is Alex's father.
Alejandro and Alex: Alejandro refers to Alex as "casi tocayo" due to the similarity in their names, and "casi padre," referring to the godfather figure, so they are compadres.
Alex and Juan: By calling Juan "cachorro," Alex is affectionately referring to his son.
With these clarifications, we can establish the relationships as follows: Alex is Patrick's friend, Nico's son, Alejandro's compadre, and Juan's father.
Final Answer:
-Patrick: Friend.
-Nico: Father.
-Alejandro: Alex is the godfather of Alejandro's son (compadre)
-Juan: Son

Mis amigos y yo nos reunimos para jugar los juegos tradicionales que jugábamos de niños. Durante la reunión pasaron cosas muy divertidas. ¿Puedes relacionar a cada amigo con una actividad? Las actividades son: Tinjoroch, Kimbomba, Chácara, Busca Busca, Caza Venado y Pesca Pesca.
Lo que paso en la reunión fue:
1. Romero rompió su hilo y la tapa golpeo a un amigo.
2. Roberto se cayó del árbol de mamey cuando trato de agarrar a Diego.
3. Rafael fue olvidado en su escondite por lo bueno que fue.
4. Carlos le pego tan fuerte al cono de madera que voló y rompió una ventana.
5. Elías casi llegó al cielo, pero se resbaló con la piedra en el camino.
6. Daniel se subió a las casas para evitar que le den un pelotazo.
|
Romero: Tinjoroch, Roberto: Pesca Pesca, Rafael: Busca Busca, Carlos: Kimbomba, Elias: Chácara, Daniel: Caza Venado.

My friends and I got together to play the traditional games we used to play as children. During the gathering, some very funny things happened. Can you match each friend with an activity? The activities are: Tinjoroch (spinning top), Kimbomba (similar to baseball), Chácara (hopscotch), Busca Busca (hide-and-seek), Caza Venado (deer hunting), and Pesca Pesca (game of tag).
What happened at the gathering was:
1. Romero broke his thread and the cap hit a friend.
2. Roberto fell from the mamey tree when he tried to grab Diego.
3. Rafael was forgotten in his hiding spot because he was so good at it.
4. Carlos hit the wooden cone so hard that it flew and broke a window.
5. Elias almost reached heaven, but he slipped on the stone on the path.
6. Daniel climbed onto the houses to avoid being hit by a ball.
|
English Reasoning: The task is to match each friend mentioned in the numbered list (Romero, Roberto, Rafael, Carlos, Elías, Daniel) to one of the traditional games (Tinjoroch, Kimbomba, Chácara, Busca Busca, Caza Venado, Pesca Pesca) based on the described incidents.
Romero broke his thread and a cap flew off, hitting someone. This aligns with Tinjoroch, a game often played with a spinning metal cap spun with a thread.
Roberto fell from a tree while trying to catch Diego. This describes a chase or tag game. Pesca Pesca is a tag game, where one person (the fisherman) chases others (the fish). Climbing a tree fits this type of active pursuit.
Rafael was excellent at hiding and was forgotten. This clearly points to a game of hide-and-seek, which is Busca Busca.
Carlos hit a wooden cone hard, making it fly and break a window. This describes Kimbomba, a game similar to baseball where a small piece of wood shaped into a cone at both ends is hit with a stick.
Elias "almost reached heaven" but slipped on a stone. "Reaching heaven" is a common term in hopscotch for reaching the final square. The stone is used as a marker in hopscotch. Chácara is a regional name for hopscotch.
Daniel climbed onto houses to avoid being hit by a ball. This indicates a dodgeball-type game where players try to hit others with a ball. Caza Venado (Hunt the Deer) fits this description, as the hunter must hit the other players (deers) with a plastic ball to hunt them.
English Final Answer: Romero: Tinjoroch, Roberto: Pesca Pesca, Rafael: Busca Busca, Carlos: Kimbomba, Elias: Chácara, Daniel: Caza Venado.

Grandfather was sorting out the ancestral account books and found three IOUs from different dynasties:
Tang Dynasty IOU: borrowed three dan of millet.
Ming Dynasty IOU: borrowed twenty-five hu of rice.
Qing Dynasty IOU: borrowed fifteen dan of wheat.
If converted to modern units, how many kilograms of grain were lent out in total? (dan is a traditional Chinese unit of weights, hu is a traditional Chinese unit of volume)
|
English Reasoning:
Tang Dynasty IOU Calculation:
3 dan (Tang system: 1 dan = 79320 g)
Convert dan to grams: 3 * 79320 g = 237,960 grams
Convert to kilograms: 237,960 ÷ 1000 = 237.96 kg
Ming Dynasty IOU Calculation:
25 hu (Ming system: 1 hu = 5 dou, 1 dou = 10 liters) = 25 × 5 dou = 125 dou
Convert dou to liters: 125 dou × 10 liters = 1,250 liters
Weight of rice: 1,250 liters × 0.8 kg/liter = 1,000 kg
Qing Dynasty IOU Calculation:
15 dan (Qing system: 1 dan = 70,800 g) = 15 × 70800 g = 1,062,000 g
Convert to kilograms: 1,062,000 ÷ 1000 = 1062 kg
Total Weight Summation:
237.96 kg (Tang) + 1,000 kg (Ming) + 1,062 kg (Qing) = 2299.96 kg
English Final Answer: 2299.96kg

J'ai trouvé une maison à acheter en viager en 2025 : le bouquet est de 90 000€ et la mensualité de 500€. L'occupante est née l'année de la sixième édition du Festival de Cannes, la maison est estimée à 150 000€, et va prendre 1% de valeur par an. A partir de quel âge de l'occupante cela devient une moins bonne affaire pour moi?

I have found a house to buy under a life-annuity ("viager") contract in 2025: the upfront payment ("bouquet") is 90 000€ and the monthly payment is 500€. The occupier was born the year of the sixth Cannes Film Festival, the property is valued at 150 000€, and will increase 1% per year. From what age of the occupier does it become a less good deal for me?
|
86 years.
The 6th Cannes Film Festival occurred in 1953, so the occupant's birth year is 1953, making her 72 years old in 2025. The total cost to the buyer is the bouquet (90 000€) + 6 000€ per year (500 x 12 months). The house will increase 1% per year. The break even point occurs during the 14th year, when the buyer will have spent 174 000€, and the value of the house will only be 172 421€.

The student responds with: "Little British wrench (in Spanish, llave inglesa is “English wrench”, equivalent to adjustable wrench), little borescope, stroboscope, computerized multimeter, little car oscilloscope, vacuum gauge, injector remover, digital alignment thing, fever-measuring gun, dynamometer, cylinder block, clutch centering tool, valve reamer, vacuum gauge, compression tester, and valve lapper."
Which tools did the student fail to recognize conceptually, even if they didn’t use precise technical terms?
|
English Reasoning:
The student uses informal or slightly inaccurate names for several tools but generally demonstrates conceptual understanding (e.g., "Little British wrench" for adjustable wrench, as in Spanish, it is called an English wrench, "Little car oscilloscope" for automotive oscilloscope, "injector remover" for injector puller, "heat measuring gun" for thermal imaging gun).
However, referring to the "Computerized alignment system" as "Coso de alineación digital" (Digital alignment thingy) indicates a lack of conceptual grasp of what the item is beyond its basic function and type. The word "coso" (thingy) implies vagueness and inability to categorize it properly as a system or station, suggesting a conceptual misunderstanding, unlike the other informal descriptions.
English Final Answer: The student fails to recognize the "Central de alineación computarizada conceptually" (Computerized alignment system), referring to it vaguely as "Coso de alineación digital" (Digital alignment thingy).

En français, les adjectifs qui se terminent par « -al » ont généralement un pluriel en « -aux » au masculin, mais il existe des exceptions. Pour m'aider à comprendre, voici une liste d'adjectifs : « bancal », « fatal », « natal », « naval », « nuptial », « tonal » et « théâtral ». Mon instinct me pousserait à dire que quatre adjectifs forment exclusivement leur pluriel en « -als » au masculin, sans terminaison en « -aux », même si cette dernière demeure rare… Oui ou non ?
|
« Oui ».
|
In French, adjectives ending in "-al" generally have a plural form in "-aux" in the masculine, but there are exceptions. To help me understand, here is a list of adjectives: "bancal", "fatal", "natal", "naval", "nuptial", "tonal" and "théâtral". My instinct would lead me to say that four adjectives exclusively form their plural in "-als" in the masculine, without an "-aux" ending, even if the latter remains rare… Yes or no?
|
"Yes" → According to official sources (Dictionary of the French Academy, Larousse and Robert), only four French adjectives on the list have exclusively an ending in "-als" in the masculine plural: "bancal" (wobbly) → "bancals", "fatal" (fatal) → "fatals", "natal" (natal) → "natals", "naval" (naval) → "navals". The other three adjectives "nuptial" (nuptial), "tonal" (tonal) and "théâtral" (theatrical), have endings in the masculine plural that can be in "-aux" → "nuptiaux", "tonaux" and "théâtraux".

Je veux que tu me donnes le sens de cette phrase :
Mon frère ma dit qu'il allait à Bosch pour faire réparer son lave-vaisselle, je lui ai dit que c'était vraiment un botch.
|
Mon frère va à Bosch réparer son lave-vaisselle et je lui ai dit que c'était un fou.
|
I want you to give me the meaning of this sentence: My brother told me he was going to Bosch to get his dishwasher repaired, I told him he was crazy (un botch)..
|
The sentence is about someone's brother who is taking his dishwasher to Bosch (likely a reference to Bosch, the German multinational engineering and technology company known for its home appliances and customer service) for repair. The speaker comments that his brother is "a botch" in reference to the expression “botch” in the Midi-Pyrénées region which in slang means to be a madman “tu es un botch” or to say that something is incredible “c'est botch”.

Dans une campagne verdoyante, Monsieur et Madame Turelle ont une adorable petite fille. Comment s'appelle-t-elle ?
|
Elena
|
In a lush countryside, Mr. and Mrs. Turelle have an adorable little girl. What is her name?
|
This is a classic French wordplay joke where the child's name is a pun based on the parents' last name. The setting "campagne verdoyante" (green countryside) points towards nature. Therefore, the girl's name is a pun based on the family name and the theme of nature.,When you have the last name "Turelle" and are asked about the daughter's name, you need to find a first name that, when combined with "Turelle," creates a common word or phrase. In this case, if you add "Elena" before "Turelle," you get "Elena Turelle," which is heard as "Elle est naturelle" in French, which means "she is natural".
English Final Answer: The little girl's name is Elena Turelle ("elle est naturelle").

Explique moi ce jeu de mots :
Le poisson qui me bouffera est pas né !
|
Je jeu de mot se situe dans "pas né" qui se prononce comme "pané". Le poisson pané est une recette de poisson cuit avec de la panure.
|
Explain to me the sentence : "The fish that will eat me has not yet been born (pas né)"
"Poisson pas né" sounds like "poisson pané" (fried fish)
|
In French, breaded fish is called "pané" ("poisson pané" = "fried fish"). "pané" is pronounced the same as "pas né", which means "not born yet". The prompt plays with the saying "he is not born yet, the one who..." ("il n'est pas né celui qui..."). The subject of the sentence is "the fish", ("le poisson"). Mixing the two makes a funny wordplay, because we will ear that the fish is "pas né" (not born yet) as "pané" (fried) which stays in the context of the fish.

Esta semana es la fiesta de mi prima y me llegaron las direcciones para llegar al salón de fiestas. Mi padre me pidió que se las envié, pero se las voy a mandar usando el antiguo sistema métrico español, ya que a él le encanta la historia y ese tipo de cosas. ¿Crees poder identificar correctamente cuantos km vamos a recorrer hasta llegar al salón de fiesta?
Aquí te dejo unas pistas:
1. Dirígete al norte unas 2/3 leguas de Almería hasta el ministerio local.
2. Muévete al oeste por 500 palmos de Baleares hasta la estatua de la libélula.
3. Dirígete al sur por 100 media canas de Baleares hasta el cruce principal
4. Continúa al oeste por 200 destre mallorquín lineal hasta llegar al palacio municipal
5. Gira al norte por 50 canas de Barcelona hasta llegar al salón de fiesta

4.81 km

This week is my cousin's party, and I received directions to the party hall. My father asked me to send them to him, but I'm going to send them using the old Spanish metric system, as he loves history and that sort of thing. Do you think you can correctly identify how many km we are going to travel to get to the party hall?
Here are some clues:
1. Head north about 2/3 leagues from Almería to the local ministry.
2. Move west for 500 Balearic palmos (spans) to the dragonfly statue.
3. Head south for 100 Balearic half-canas ("cana" as an old unit of length used in Spain) to the main crossroads.
4. Continue west for 200 Mallorcan linear destres (old length measurement unit from Mallorca) until you reach the municipal palace.
5. Turn north for 50 Barcelona "canas" (old unit of length used in Spain) until you reach the party hall.
|
English Reasoning: To find the total kilometers, we need to convert each old Spanish measurement to kilometers and add them up.
1. Spanish league (legua): 2/3 of a legua ≈ 2/3 × 5.5727 km = 3.7151 km
2. Balearic "palmos" (spans): 500 palmos × 0.1955 m (each Balearic span is equivalent to 19 cm) = 97.75 m = 0.09775 km
3. Half Balearic "cana": Each "cana" equals 1.564m > 100 × (1.564/2) m = 100 × 0.782 m = 78.2 m = 0.0782 km
4. Mallorcan destre: 200 × 4.214 m = 842.8 m = 0.8428 km
5. Barcelona cana: 50 × 1.555 m = 77.75 m = 0.07775 km
Total distance = 3.7151 + 0.09775 + 0.0782 + 0.8428 + 0.07775 = 4.8116 km
English Final Answer: 4.81 km.

|
"L'accoste" sonne comme "Lacoste".
|
What does a crocodile do when it meets a female? It "Lacoste" her
|
The joke relies on a French pun : in French, "l'accoste" means, among others, "flirting" with a woman. "L'accoste" sounds exactly like "Lacoste" which is a famous French clothing brand whose emblem is a crocodile! The pun here is that the joke plays with the homophony between "l'accoste" and "Lacoste".

今年是21世纪的第一个癸卯年，也是我长这么大第一次回去爷爷奶奶家。家里即将迎来一个传统节日，有很多东西需要准备，所以我和爸爸打算来个大采购。但是老一辈的思想传统，认为“七不出，八不归”，说今天是农历初七不宜出门。但我不是很信这一套，所以还是决定外出购买些青团回来。
按照这些线索，请问今天起10天后的公历日期在明年对应的农历日期又是什么（年-月-日）呢？

甲辰年-二月-廿九 (2024年-2月-29日）

Prompt Translation to English: This year is the first Gui Mao year of the 21st century, and it's also the first time I've returned to my grandparents' home since I grew up. The family is about to celebrate a traditional festival, and there are many things to prepare, so my father and I plan to do a big shopping trip. However, the older generation is traditional and believes in "Don't go out on the 7th, don't return on the 8th," saying that today, the 7th day of the lunar month, is not suitable for going out. But I don't really believe in this, so I still decided to go out and buy some Qingtuan.
Based on these clues, what is the corresponding lunar date (year-month-day) next year for the Gregorian date that is 10 days from today?
|
English Reasoning:
First, we need to know that this year is the first Gui Mao (癸卯) year of the 21st century." The 21st century started in 2001. Gui Mao years repeat every 60 years (e.g., 1903, 1963). So, "this year" is 2023.
Next, we determine "today's" lunar date and the related festival: "today is the 7th day of the lunar month" (今天是农历初七). They are buying "Qingtuan" (青团) for an upcoming "traditional festival." Qingtuan is a traditional food for the Qingming Festival. In 2023 (a Gui Mao year), the Qingming Festival fell on April 5th. The lunar date for April 5, 2023, was the 15th day of the Leap Second Month of the Gui Mao year (癸卯年闰二月十五日). However, since the user specifically mentions that "today" is the 7th day of the lunar month and they are preparing for Qingming, it is highly probable that "today" is the 7th day of the Leap Second Month of the Gui Mao year (癸卯年闰二月初七)= March 28, 2023 in Gregorian date. So, 10 days from March 28, 2023, is April 7, 2023. (Next year = April 7, 2024)
Now, we can convert April 7, 2024, to the lunar calendar. So, April 7 is the (7+22) = 29th day of the second lunar month. Thus, April 7, 2024, corresponds to the Jia Chen Year, Second Month, 29th day (甲辰年二月廿九日).
English Final Answer: Jia Chen Year, Second Month, 29th day

2026年是我爸爸的第五个本命年，属相是狗的三合之一。
我妈和我爸同年，在33岁的时候生了我。
请问我是哪一年出生的？
|
1999
|
In 2026, it will be my father's fifth Benming Year (a year associated with one's birth year in a 12-year zodiac cycle), and his zodiac sign is one of the three harmonious signs associated with the Dog. My mother is the same age as my father, and she gave birth to me when she was 33 years old.What year was I born?
|
English Reasoning:
1. Determine the father's age in 2026:
A "Benmingnian" (本命年) is a person's zodiac animal year, which occurs every 12 years. The common understanding is that the first Benmingnian is when a person turns 12 years old, the second at 24, and so on. Therefore, the Nth Benmingnian occurs when the person is N * 12 years old.
Since 2026 is the father's fifth Benmingnian, his age in 2026 will be 5 * 12 = 60 years old.
2. Determine the father's birth year:
If the father is 60 years old in 2026, his birth year is 2026 - 60 = 1966.
3. Determine and verify the father's zodiac sign:
Since 2026 is the father's Benmingnian, his zodiac sign is the animal associated with the year 2026. The Chinese zodiac cycle is Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig. Knowing that 2024 is the Year of the Dragon, 2025 will be the Year of the Snake, and 2026 will be the Year of the Horse.
Therefore, the father's zodiac sign is Horse.
The prompt states that the father's zodiac sign is "one of the three harmonies of the Dog" (狗的三合之一). The three harmonies (Sanhe) for the Dog (戌 - Xu) are the Tiger (寅 - Yin), the Horse (午 - Wu), and the Dog (戌 - Xu) itself.
3. Determine the mother's birth year:
The prompt states, "My mom and my dad are the same age."
Therefore, the mother was also born in 1966.
3. Determine the narrator's birth year:
The prompt states, "She [the mother] gave birth to me when she was 33 years old."
So, the narrator's birth year is the mother's birth year plus 33 years.
Narrator's birth year = 1966 + 33 = 1999.
English Final Answer: 1999

Esta mañana llegaron 5 personas a mi casa en Bogotá. Mi abuela, muy observadora y supersticiosa, cree que las acciones y las palabras revelan el carácter. Según ella, algunas acciones y expresiones son dulces y otras, rudas.
El día previo:
Pablo: "¿Quieres que te baje esa caja abuelita?"
Maria: "Ese perrote está tan grande que parece un oso."
José: "¡Ay, piojosa! ¿Otra vez con el perro?"
Ana: "Amigui ¿quieres más limonada?"
Pedro: "Jajajaja, ese michito es un travieso."
Después, mi abuela escuchó los siguientes comentarios:
Carlos: "Mi abuelita tuvo que trabajar mucho, aunque Maria siempre nos dejaba su perro."
Maria: "Sí, ese perrote siempre estuvo ahí."
Ana: "Amigui, no seas boba."
Pedro: "Qué alguien baje al michito de ahí arriba con cuidado."
Pablo: "Dale hermanito, tu puedes."
¿Quiénes fueron más dulce?
|
Pablo, Pedro y Carlos.
|
This morning, five people arrived at my house in Bogotá. My grandmother, who is very observant and superstitious, believes that actions and words reveal character. According to her, some actions and expressions are sweet, while others are rude.
The previous day:
Pablo: "Do you want me to bring down that box, little grandma ("abuelita", affective diminutive of grandma)?”
Maria: "That big dog is so large it looks like a bear."
José: "Oh, you lice-ridden one! Are you still with the dog?"
Ana: “Bestie ("amigui" colloquial of friend), do you want more lemonade?"
Pedro: "Hahaha, that little cat ("michito" affective diminutive of cat) is mischievous."
Later, my grandmother heard the following comments:
Carlos: "My little grandma ("abuelita", affective diminutive of grandma ) had to work a lot, even though Maria always left her dog with us."
Maria: "Yes, that big dog was always there."
Ana: "Bestie ("amigui", affective way of close friend), don't be silly."
Pedro: "Someone bring the little cat ("michito" affective diminutive of cat) down from up there carefully."
Pablo: "Come on, little brother ("hermanito", affective diminutive of brother), you can do it."
Who was the sweetest?
|
English Reasoning:
The analysis is based on the grandmother's criteria, where actions and words are categorized as either "sweet" or "rude".
Pablo: Based on actions, he first offered help to his grandmother and later offered encouragement. Based on words, he referred to his grandmother and brother as "abuelita" and "abuelito", which are affectionate diminutives. All of them are considered sweet.
Maria: Made observational comments about a dog. These are relatively neutral, not sweet or rude.
José: Used an insult ("louse"), which is clearly "rude".
Ana: Based on actions, she first offered lemonade. Based on words, she referred to her “amigui”, which is a diminutive, affectionate term for a close friend, but later called her "silly", which is rude.
Pedro: Based on actions, he showed concern for the cat. Based on words, he referred to the little cat (“michi", a popular term for cats) using the diminutive “michito”, which is a diminutive, affectionate term for cats. All of them are considered sweet.
Carlos: Although he was not present the previous day, he referred to the grandmother as "abuelita", an affectionate diminutive expressing fondness. The comments are considered sweet.
Comparing the individuals, Pablo and Pedro consistently demonstrated "sweet" behavior through actions and words. Carlos demonstrated "sweet" behavior through words only. Ana and José were "rude". Maria was neutral.
English Final Response: Pablo, Pedro, and Carlos.

Tiens, j'ai une petite devinette pour toi… J'achète tous ces produits hors taxes chez Leclerc :
- un livre à 10 € ;
- une brique de jus d'orange à 2,00 € ;
- une canette de bière à 1,10 €.
Puis, dans la galerie marchande, j'achète un café au Starbucks à 2,00 € HT.
Combien ai-je payé TTC, en sachant que j'ai bénéficié de 10 % de réduction sur le prix HT de la boisson à emporter ?
|
« 15,96 € ».
|
Here, I have a little riddle for you... I buy all these products before tax at Leclerc:
- a book at €10;
- a carton of orange juice at €2.00;
- a can of beer at €1.10.
Then, in the shopping mall, I buy a coffee at Starbucks for €2.00 before tax.
How much did I pay including all taxes, knowing that I benefited from a 10% discount on the pre-tax price of the takeaway drink?
|
"€15.96" → VAT varies in France depending on the type of product. For books, it's 5.5%, the same as for a carton of orange juice. Conversely, alcoholic beverages like cans of beer have a 20% VAT rate, and takeaway drinks, like Starbucks coffee, have a 10% VAT rate.
For purchases at Leclerc, the total price will therefore be:
→ 10 + (10 x 0.055) + 2 + (2 x 0.055) + 1.10 + (1.10 x 0.20) = €13.98 incl. VAT.
For coffee at Starbucks, including the 10% discount on the price excluding tax:
→ (2 - (2 x 0.10)) + ((2 - (2 x 0.10)) x 0.10) = €1.98 incl. VAT.
That’s a total = 13.98 + 1.98 = €15.96 incl. VAT.

I recently made a new friend who has a curved crescent moon as their profile picture, which feels a bit like their eyes. They said it's related to their faith. When I first met them, I noticed they had a string of beads, so I asked if they were Buddhist, but they said no and avoided the topic. Last time we ate together, they brought their own cooking oil, saying they have special dietary restrictions. They actually told me about their background and ethnicity, but I've forgotten - I think they're not Han Chinese. They mentioned that their ethnic group has a festival that's not related to religion, which is still celebrated in some traditional areas, where people sing folk songs in the mountains during the sixth lunar month. There's also a specific plant associated with this festival. Do you know what festival this is referring to?
|
English Reasoning: Based on the details provided, this person appears to be from one of China's Muslim ethnic minorities. The crescent moon is a symbol of Islam, and Muslims often use prayer beads (tasbih or misbaha). The dietary restrictions and bringing their own cooking oil suggests halal food requirements. The festival described sounds like the Huaer Festival (花儿会), celebrated in northwestern China, particularly by Hui people and other ethnic groups in Gansu, Qinghai, and Ningxia provinces. During this festival, which occurs around the sixth lunar month, people gather in mountains to sing traditional folk songs called "huaer" (flower songs). While many participants may be Muslim, the festival itself predates Islam in the region and has cultural rather than religious significance.
English Final Answer: The festival being described is most likely the Huaer Festival (花儿会), which is celebrated by several ethnic groups in northwestern China during the sixth lunar month. During this festival, people gather in the mountains to sing antiphonal folk songs called "huaer" (flower songs). The plant associated with this festival would be flowers (huaer), which give the festival its name. This festival is particularly important to the Hui people and other ethnic groups in the Gansu, Qinghai, and Ningxia regions, and while many participants may be Muslim, the festival itself is a cultural tradition rather than a religious observance.

I can't understand this pun, I'd like you to explain it to me: "Why are shoemakers said to be curious? Because they meddle in everything!"...

The joke works because "ils se mêlent de tout" (they meddle with everything) sounds like "ils semelles de tout" (they [make] soles of everything). It's a play on the similar pronunciation between "se mêlent" (meddle with) and semelles (shoe soles), creating a pun that connects the shoemaker's profession with being nosy or curious.

The father was born in the 1940s and has just entered his 85th year, meaning he was born in 1940 or 1941 in the lunar calendar, and is currently 84 years old. Given that he has just had his birthday, we can infer that the current year is likely 2024 or close to it.
2. The mother was born on June 1st, 1954. The speaker shares the same Gregorian calendar birth month and day, so they were born on June 1st but in a different year. The mother's age compared to the speaker's indicates the speaker was born after 1986 (1954 + 32) and before 1990 (1954 + 3*12), so the speaker was likely born in 1987 or 1988.
Since the speaker and their husband share the same Gregorian birth year but have different zodiac animals, their birthdays must be around the lunar new year.
3. If the speaker was born in 1987, they would be a rabbit, and their husband could be a tiger or a rabbit if born just before or after the lunar new year. If the speaker was born in 1988, they would be a dragon (if born after the lunar new year) or a rabbit (if born before the lunar new year). Their husband, having a different zodiac sign but the same Gregorian year, would likely be a rabbit (if the speaker is a dragon) or a dragon (if the speaker is a rabbit).
4. Given the constraints and the fact that the husband's birthday is next month, we can infer that the speaker was likely born in 1988. If the speaker was born after the lunar new year in 1988 (making them a dragon), their husband, being a rabbit, would have been born in 1987.
Since the husband's birthday is next month and considering the lunar calendar, if we assume the current year is around 2024, the husband's birthday would likely be in the next lunar month, which could be around the lunar new year.
Therefore, the husband was likely born in the lunar year of 1987, which is the year of the rabbit (or fire rabbit).
English Final Answer: Lunar birth year is 1987

Les lettres muettes des mots suivants comptent pour 10 points : Souris, Chaud, Boulangerie, parts, lieues, sept, Orang-Outang
Combien vaut la phrase suivante : La souris qui courre dans la boulangerie mange trois parts de gateaux, tandis que l'Orang-Outang l'attend dehors dans des bottes de sept lieues.
|
90
|
The silent letters in the following words are worth 10 points each: Souris, Chaud, Boulangerie, parts, lieues, sept, Orang-Outang. How much is the following sentence worth: “La souris qui courre dans la boulangerie mange trois parts de gateaux, tandis que l’Orang-Outang l’attend dehors dans des bottes de sept lieues.”?
|
We look at each listed word as it appears in the sentence and count its silent letters.
“souris” has 1 silent s.
“boulangerie” has 1 silent final e.
“parts” has 2 silent letters (t and s).
“Orang-Outang” has 2 silent g’s (one in “Orang,” one in “Outang”).
“sept” has 1 silent p.
“lieues” has 2 silent letters (e and s).
Total silent letters = 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 9. At 10 points each, the sentence is worth 9 × 10 = 90 points.

A: "To your company's vice president Zhang: Thank you for your inquiry ("承蒙垂询"). I'm Little Li from 敝司(our humble company's) tech department respectfully attaches the test report. Please kindly grant your attention to this ('敬请赐阅')"
B: "Engineer Li, file received. Please ("烦请") have your department further refine the 'Temperature Control' section --- Thank you for your hard work!"
C: "Director Zhang: Regarding the 'cooperation framework' mentioned by "老板“（boss, a polite forms of address, typically used laterally in business settings), I(humbly speaking, "鄙人"), have already requested instructions from Director Lin of our department. Please kindly provide your reply ("烦请贵处不吝赐复")."
D: "Good afternoon, bosses! Xiaodi (little brother, humble speaking) has already asked Little Li to follow up on your company's feedback. If changes are still needed tonight, Little Li will work overnight. Thank you all for your hard work, I, your junior will take my leave first."
Please rank A, B, C, D from highest to lowest based on their actual power/authority.
|
English Reasoning:
1. "Thank you for your hard work" in Chinese should only be used from superiors to subordinates or among peers as mutual consolation. As B said it to Engineer Li, it implies B > Engineer Li (A), B should be at least at general manager level.
2. A called his company as our humble company and himself as Little Li, he should be lower than Zhang (D). A < D.
3. Although C uses some humble tone, they can directly "submit a request to Dean LIn", indicating they have access to Dean, the high-level channels and thus higher than A. But as he uses the phrases like "please kindly provide your reply" to D, so they should be lower than D, and also Dean is not above general manager, so B should above C.
4. D says "thank you all for your hard work", means all of them are D's subordinates. Also, he can "take leave first", which also proves that.
So it should be D, B, C, A.
English Final Answer: D > B > C > A.

Nace verde, se blanquea mientras crece, y en la mesa se pone aveces. No es flor, no es fruta, pero su presencia levanta hasta a un caldo aguacatado. Es chiquito pero picoso, y vaya que pica ¡carajo!. Siempre está presente en cada relajo. ¿Qué es?
|
Ajo
|
Born green, it turns white as it grows and is sometimes placed on the table. It’s not a flower or fruit, but its presence can elevate even a "caldo aguacatado" (something like watery broth). It’s small but spicy and stings "¡carajo!" (Expression that shows anger, surprise, admiration, or joy). It’s always present at every "relajo" (party). What is it?
In Spanish, garlic is “ajo”.
|
English Reasoning: This riddle describes something that starts green and turns white as it matures, is used in cooking (particularly for enhancing broths), is known for being spicy, and is commonly found at gatherings or parties. It's small in size but has a strong flavor impact. Given these characteristics, especially the color change from green to white and its use in Latin American cuisine as a spicy enhancer for soups and many dishes, this mentions some features of garlic.
Furthermore, We can find the word "ajo" (garlic) in the exclamation "carajo", and in the expression "It’s always present at every "relajo" (party)" which interpreted literally tells us that the word being talked about is present in the word "relajo", so these are implicit clues of the wordplay as well.
English Final Answer: Garlic ("ajo" in Spanish)

Explícame el siguiente chiste.
Alguien dijo, el verdadero amor espera, y le respondieron, pues qué mala suerte, mi novio es un kiwi.
|
"Espera" sounds as "es pera"
|
Explain the following joke to me.
Someone said: True love waits (espera). And someone replied: Well, that's unlucky, my boyfriend is a kiwi.
In Spanish, “it is a pear” is said “es pera”.
|
English Reasoning: The joke relies on a pun in Spanish. The phrase "el verdadero amor espera" means "true love waits." The verb "espera" (waits) sounds exactly like the phrase "es pera" (is a pear). The person responding to the saying deliberately misinterprets "espera" (waits) as "es pera" (is a pear). Therefore, they understand the saying, "true love is a pear." Then, they lament that this is bad luck for them because their boyfriend isn't a pear but a different fruit (a kiwi). The humor comes from this absurd, literal misinterpretation based on the identical sound of the two different phrases ("espera" (wait) and "es pera" (is a pear)).
English Final Answer: "Espera" (waits in Spanish) sounds as "es pera" (is a pear).

请你解释这个笑话：一只鸡从小就作弊，每次考试都是班里前几名，后来长大了厌倦了再也不抄了，却成功进了银行工作，当上了验钞机。
|
厌倦了抄袭的鸡可缩写为“厌抄鸡”，和验钞机同音。
|
Please explain this Chinese joke: A chicken (鸡) plagiarized (抄袭) since it was young, always getting top grades in class. Later, it grew up, got tired of cheating, and stopped. However, it successfully got a job at a bank and became a currency counting machine (验钞机).
|
This joke is based on a pun in Mandarin Chinese where "a chicken that's tired of cheating" (厌抄鸡 - yàn chāo jī) and "currency dectector" (验钞机 - yàn chāo jī) have the same pronunciation. The story sets up a character who is a chicken (鸡). This joke makes use of the homophonic resemblance between "currency detector" and "a chicken that's tired of cheating" to humorously link elements that have no logical connection such as "chicken", "copying" and "bank" together, resulting in an unexpected and funny effect.

Por favor explícame este juego de palabras:
El vecino estaba riendo, pero dejó un pedazo sucio.
|
La frase “estaba riendo” suena como “está barriendo”.
|
Please explain this pun to me:
The neighbor was laughing (“estaba riendo”), but he left a dirty piece behind.
In Spanish, “is sweeping” is said “está barriendo”.
|
English reasoning: The pun plays on the phonetic similarity between the Spanish words ‘riendo’ (laughing) and ‘barriendo’ (sweeping). The second part of the sentence, ‘dejó un pedazo sucio’ (he left a dirty piece/spot), makes logical sense if someone was sweeping (‘barriendo’) and missed a spot. However, the sentence uses ‘riendo’ (laughing). The humor arises from hearing ‘riendo’, but understanding the context implies ‘barriendo’ because of the phrase ‘left a dirty piece’.
The funny thing comes from this auditory confusion.
English Final Answer: “Was laughing” (“estaba riendo”) sounds like “is sweeping” (“está barriendo”).

考你一个脑筋急转弯，为什么男生会犯糊涂？
|
因为难（男）得糊涂
|
Let me test you with a brain teaser: Why do boys get silly/muddled ("糊涂")?
|
English Reasoning: It is a Chinese homophonic. The Chinese idiom, "难得糊涂" literally means it is rare that to see a specific person to be muddled or silly. The word "难" (nan) is pronounced similar to "男", which means boys. It replaced the idiom and became "男得糊涂“, which changed the meaning to the boys are getting silly or muddled. This pun created this fun wordplay.
English Final Answer: because of the idiom, "难(男)得糊涂". Replaced the word from "难" to "男", which means boys are getting silly or muddled.

Las letras A, B, y C
|
Sometimes (a veces) we are big, sometimes (a veces) we are small, but we are always the ones at the beginning. Who are we?
|
The riddle describes something varying in size from "big" to "small" consistently. This describes the use of letters since they can be capital letters and lowercase letters. There is a clue in the part of the riddle that says "we are always the ones at the beginning," suggesting that it's referring to the initial letters, and what shows that its the initial letters in the alphabet is the wordplay with the word "aveces" (sometimes) because its phonetically almost identical to the pronunciation of the letters A B C "a-ve-ces" which are the initial letters of the alphabet. So the riddle refers to the 3 initial letters of the alphabet, A, B, C.
English Final Answers: The letters A, B, and C.

Adivina este acertijo: Es dura y también espesa. En el entreno, nunca se presta. Si no sabes qué es, vuelve y regresa.
|
Pesa
|
Guess this riddle: It is hard and also thick ("espesa"). During training, it is never lent. If you don't know what it is, come back and return.
The exercise weight, in Spanish, it is called “pesa”.
|
English Reasoning: The riddle describes something hard and dense ("espesa" can mean thick/dense). In training contexts, it is "never lent," implying that when people do exercise, people are careful about not losing this object. The phrase "vuelve y regresa" (come back and return) hints at repetition or cyclical action. "Pesa" (weight/dumbbell) fits the clues: weights are hard, dense, and not typically shared during training. But the clue here is the word "espesa," which, when broken down into two words, "es" and "pesa," has the word "pesa" at the end. Also, the word "espesa" phonetically sounds the same as "es pesa" (it is weight).
English Final Answer: Weight ("pesa" in Spanish).

In Spanish (if you don't) "Si-ya" sounds like "Si-lla / Silla" which means chair.

English Reasoning: The riddle describes an object that commonly comes in two materials: wood or metal. The second line, "if you don't know it yet, then try again," includes a wordplay, where "if you don't know it yet" ("si ya no lo sabes" in Spanish) includes a pun as "si ya" is phonetically similar to "silla" in Spanish (chair). The answer to the riddle is within the riddle itself as part of the pun, not to mention that chairs are usually made of wood or metal.

一岁情侣吵得很激烈，女生明确地分析了男生的各种错误，并且说如果他认错了，女生会放过这事。男生轻声地说：“我承认，我就是不知所措”。结果，女生生气地甩了他，他没找出哪里出了误会？

“错”与“措”是谐音，女生可能误会男生说的是：“我承认，我就是不知所错”，从而认为男生不愿意承认错误，于是决定分手。

A couple was having a heated argument. The girl clearly pointed out all the mistakes the guy had made, and she told him, “If you admit your mistakes (认错 - rèn cuò), I’ll let it go.”
The guy gently said, “I admit it… I was at a loss and didn’t know what to do.” (不知所措- bù zhī suǒ cuò).
But unexpectedly, the girl got even angrier and walked away.
He couldn’t figure out what went wrong.
|
English Reasoning: The words “mistake” (错) and “to do” (措) sound the same “cuò” in Chinese. Because of this, the girl might have misunderstood the boy’s words.
He meant to say: “It’s not that I didn’t know what to do (不知所措 - bù zhī suǒ cuò),”
But she might have heard it as: “It’s not that, I didn’t know what I did wrong (不知所错 - bù zhī suǒ cuò).”
To her, it sounded like he was refusing to admit his mistakes. So she got upset and decided to break up with him.
English Final Answer: She thought he said "不知所错" (I don't know how I'm at fault) instead of "不知所措" (I don't know what to do).

为什么猪耳朵一旦被煮熟，就飞走了呢？
|
因为耳熟能翔（耳熟能详）
|
Why do pig ear(猪耳) fly away(飞翔) once they're cooked(熟)? (The reason is a Chinese proverb)
|
English Reasoning: This is a typical example of using Chinese homophony to create humorous effects.
Chengyu is a type of traditional Chinese idiom to express facts or principle, ususally it consists of four Chinese characters. However, there are many homophones in Chinese, which may cause humorous or witty meanings of Chengyu, and "耳熟能详" is one of them, of which
"耳" means "ear".
"熟" means "high proficiency", usually it is gained through repeated practice".
"能" means "can".
"详" means "repeat".
"耳熟能详" means "After listening more and more, the content can be repeated clearly and in detail.
However, "详" and "翔" are homophones, so the idiom can be missheard as "耳熟能翔", of which
"耳" means "ear".
"熟" can be explained as "cooked" in morden Chinese language.
"能" means "can".
"翔" means "fly" .
Hence, "耳熟能翔" can be explained as "cooked ear can fly", which can answer the question why do pig ears fly away once they're cooked?
The prompt is not a question that conforms to biological logic.
English Final Answer: Because the idiom homophony: 耳熟能翔(详), which means "cooked ear can fly".

请解释：千万不要和风打架，就算你武功高，风没伤到你，但你打伤了风，你也会感冒。

打伤了风，也即伤风。伤风在中文里是感冒的意思。
|
Please explain: No matter how strong you are (e.g. you are good at martial arts), never fight with the wind. Even if the wind can't make it to hurt you but you hurt the wind instead, you would still get a cold.
|
English Reasoning: In Chinese traditional medicine, we use "伤风" (shāng fēng) to call "catch a cold". Here, "伤" is actually with a passive voice, which means to be injured or be affected, and "风" means wind. However, "伤" can also be with a positive voice in Chinese context, which means to hurt someone or make someone injured. This is the case in this wordplay: If you are the stronger one in the flight with wind, and you hurt the wind, this action can bed called "伤风" (hurt wind) as well. But meanwhile, "伤风" also means "get a cold" in Chinese. So if you hurt wind in a fight with it, you would get a cold.
English Final Answer: In Chinese, "伤风" means catching a cold, rather than "make the wind hurt" as its literal meaning suggests. Thus, this pun plays a word game here, combining the actual meaning of "伤风" with its literal meaning, bringing people an unexpected sense of humor.

小白是一条记忆力很好的狗，也很喜欢汪汪叫。可是为什么每次一走过独木桥小白就不叫了？
|
因为小白过目不忘，谐音过木不汪。
|
Xiaobai is a dog with a very good memory and also loves to bark. But why does Xiaobai stop barking every time it crosses a single-plank bridge?
|
English Reasoning: This is a riddle based on a pun in Chinese. The riddle mentions the dog has a good memory, hinting at the idiom "过目不忘" (guò mù bù wàng), which means "never forget what one has seen" . In Chinese language, the single-plank bridge is "独木桥" (dú mù qiáo) while the dog's bark sound is "汪汪" (wāng wāng). The pun works by replacing the character "目" (mù, meaning 'eyes') in the idiom with the near-homophone character "木" (mù, meaning the wood of the single-plank bridge) and also replacing the character "忘" (wàng, meaning 'forget') in the idiom with the near-homophone character "汪" (wāng, the sound of a bark). Thus, the idiom "过目不忘" (guò mù bù wàng - never forget what one has seen) is playfully changed to "过木不汪" (guò mù bù wāng - crosses the single-plank bridge and doesn't bark).
English Final Answer: Because it "过木不汪" (guò mù bù wāng). This is a pun on the Chinese idiom "过目不忘" (guò mù bù wàng - never forget what one has seen). "目" (mù - eyes) sounds like "木" (mù - the wood of the single-plank bridge) while "忘" (wàng - forget) sounds like "汪" (wāng - bark). So, when crossing the bridge (过木), the dog doesn't bark (不汪).

Descifra esta adivinanza: Mi amiga nos invitó a comer, estábamos Yo, Tati y la Nessa. Tati se sentó sola en la mesa y al lado de mí la Nessa. ¿Qué comida nos preparó?

Decipher this riddle: My friend invited us to eat, there was me, Tati and Nessa. Tati sat alone at the table, "and next to me, The Nessa" (al lado de Mi-La-Nessa). What food did she prepare for us?
In Spanish, these words (al lado de Mi-La-Nessa) can form the word Milanesa (Milanese)
|
English Reasoning: The riddle is a play on words based on the Spanish sounds. The key phrase is "al lado de mí la Nessa" (next to me was Nessa). The syllables "mí la Nessa" sound very similar to the Spanish word "Milanesa", which is a popular dish (breaded meat cutlet).
English Final Answer: Milanese (In spanish mean, Milanesa)

If I could see the window, I would know what the weather is like. But you don't need to because I've already told you. What's the weather like?
In Spanish “yo viera” (I could see) sounds the same as “lloviera” (it rained).
|
English Reasoning: In Spanish, the words “yo viera” (I could see) sound the same as when you read the word “lloviera” (it rained), so when the sentence says “yo viera”, it is providing the response to the final question “¿Qué tiempo hace?” (What's the weather like?), but it is camouflaged in such a way that it can only be understood because the pronunciation is the same in both cases.
English Final Answer: It rained (In Spanish Mean, lloviera).

Reasoning in English: In Peru, Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June. To determine how many times my brother's birthday, which is on June 16th, has coincided with this date, we need to check in which years, between 2005 and 2024, June 16th fell on the third Sunday of the month.
After a chronological review, we found three exact matches:
-2013
-2019
-2024
Therefore, my brother's birthday has coincided with Father's Day three times.

Quand j'étais petit, on jouait chez mes grands-parents à un jeu de balle où il fallait se renvoyer la balle par équipe, un peu comme au volley. Mais on utilisait un tambourin à la place d'une raquette. J'étais toujours le joueur du milieu. Comment s'appelait mon poste ?
|
Tu étais le tiers (dans la balle au tambourin).

When I was little, we played a ball game at my grandparents' house. In this game, we had to pass the ball back and forth in teams, a bit like volleyball. But we used a tambourine instead of a racket. I was always the middle player. What was my position called?
|
Your position was "the tiers". In tambourin (or jeu de balle au tambourin), the middle player position is typically called the "tiers" (third position).

J'habite et je travaille en Alsace et mes derniers congés payés étaient en mai où j'avais pris de la fête du travail jusqu'à la fête de la Victoire de 1945. Je compte prendre des congés en fin d'année 2025. Je travaille du lundi au vendredi. Si je prends 10 jours à compter du 15 décembre, quand est-ce que je recommencerais à travailler ?
|
31 décembre 2025.
|
I live and work in Alsace (a region northeastern in France) and my last paid leave was in May when I took time off from Labour Day to Victory in Europe Day. I plan to take leave at the end of 2025. I work Monday to Friday. If I take 10 days off starting December 15, when will I return to work?
|
The user works Monday to Friday and wants to take 10 days of leave, starting Monday, December 15th, 2025. We need to count 10 working days (Monday-Friday) from the start date, excluding weekends and public holidays specific to Alsace (Christmas Day - Dec 25th, St. Stephen's Day - Dec 26th).
To solve this, let's count the working days from December 15th, 2025 :
Mon, Dec 15 (Day 1)
Tue, Dec 16 (Day 2)
Wed, Dec 17 (Day 3)
Thu, Dec 18 (Day 4)
Fri, Dec 19 (Day 5)
Mon, Dec 22 (Day 6)
Tue, Dec 23 (Day 7)
Wed, Dec 24 (Day 8)
(Thu, Dec 25 - Public Holiday)
(Fri, Dec 26 - Public Holiday)
Mon, Dec 29 (Day 9)
Tue, Dec 30 (Day 10)
The 10th working day of leave is Tuesday, December 30th, 2025. Therefore, the user will return to work on the next working day, which is Wednesday, December 31st, 2025.

Jugando Parqués con mi familia, sucedió el siguiente escenario:
Las cuatros fichas (roja, azul, verde y amarilla) se encontraban en las siguientes posiciones: La ficha roja estaba a 9 casillas del centro de su casa, la ficha azul se encontraba en una casilla segura a 10 casillas de ingresar al camino final, la ficha verde estaba a 6 casillas detrás de la ficha amarilla que estaba a 4 casillas de entrar a su camino final.
Respetando todas las reglas del juego ¿Cuántas combinaciones posibles de dos lanzamientos exclusivamente le permitirían comer a la ficha amarilla en su primer turno y, en el segundo turno, moverse a más de 9 casillas avanzando sin obstáculos?
|
Una
|
While playing Parqués (board game) with my family, the following scenario occurred:
The four pieces (red, blue, green, and yellow) were in the following positions: The red piece was 9 spaces from the center of its home, the blue piece was on a safe square 10 spaces from entering the final path, the green piece was 6 spaces behind the yellow piece, which was 4 spaces from entering its final path.
Following all the game rules, how many possible combinations of two rolls only would allow the yellow piece to capture on its first turn and, on the second turn, move more than 9 spaces forward without obstacles?
|
English Reasoning:
To make two moves, one condition must be met: rolling a pair of equal numbers. Therefore, the only possible option for the first turn is (3,3).
For the second turn, it must total more than 9, but certain restrictions from both the user and the game must be considered. First, it mentions only two turns, so (5,5) and (6,6) are excluded because they allow a third turn. Second, (5,6) triggers a reverse move as a penalty, so it also does not count. As a result, the only valid option is (4,6) to total more than 9.
The only possible option is (3,3) for the first turn and (4,6) for the second turn.

Tengo un trabajo online bastante peculiar donde no trabajo los días feriados en el país donde me encuentre e igualmente me pagan. Necesito que me ayudes a coordinar 3 viajes en 3 paises para el mes de marzo del presente año 2025, para coincidir la mayor cantidad de feriados en los países de Argentina, Mexico y Colombia.

I have a quite peculiar online job where I don't work on holidays in the country where I'm located, and I still get paid. I need your help to coordinate 3 trips to 3 countries in March 2025, to coincide with the largest number of holidays in Argentina, Mexico, and Colombia. How many holidays in total will I be able to get?
|
First, the holidays in March 2025 are identified for each country:
Argentina:
Monday, March 3, 2025: Carnival
Tuesday, March 4, 2025: Carnival
Monday, March 24, 2025: Day of Remembrance for Truth and Justice
Colombia:
Monday, March 24, 2025: Saint Joseph's Day (moved to the previous Monday, March 19)
Mexico:
Monday, March 17, 2025: Benito Juárez's Birthday (moved to the next Monday, March 21)
Second, if the restriction requires 3 trips in 3 countries, then only one visit is allowed per country.
Third, the destinations are selected based on the best options. First, the best option is the two consecutive public holidays in Argentina (March 3 and 4). Then, the traveler goes to Colombia for the March 19 holiday and finishes in Mexico with the March 21 holiday.
Last, the final holiday on March 24 in Argentina is excluded, since the restriction only allows 3 trips.
In conclusion, the number of paid holidays that could align in March with 3 trips in the countries of Argentina, Mexico, and Colombia is 4.

Avant la fête des lumières, j'aime bien faire un repas à la maison digne d'un bouchon traditionnel. Côme souhaite ramener du pâté croûte, Tom un sabodet, Mélanie un tablier de sapeur et Arthur de la cervelle de canuts. Qui a ramené quelque chose qui, traditionnellement, ne se mange pas avec des pommes de terre ?
|
Côme.
|
Before the Festival of Lights, I like to have a meal at home worthy of a traditional "bouchon" (Lyon restaurant). Côme wishes to bring "pâté en croûte" (meat pastry pie), Tom a "sabodet" (sausage), Mélanie a "tablier de sapeur" (fried beef tripe), and Arthur some "cervelle de canuts" (cheese spread). Who brought something that traditionally is not eaten with potatoes?
|
The prompt asks to identify which traditional Lyonnais dish among the ones listed ("pâté croûte", "sabodet", "tablier de sapeur", "cervelle de canuts") is not typically served with potatoes.
"Sabodet" (a cooked sausage) is traditionally served hot with boiled or steamed potatoes.
"Tablier de sapeur" (fried beef tripe) is traditionally served hot, often with steamed potatoes and a gribiche sauce.
"Cervelle de canuts" (cheese spread with herbs) can be served with boiled potatoes, although it's also commonly served with bread as a starter or cheese course substitute.
"Pâté croûte" (meat pastry pie) is typically served cold as a starter, usually accompanied by pickles or a small salad, not potatoes.
Comparing the options, "Pâté croûte" is the dish which isn't traditionally associated with potatoes. Côme is the one who brought it.

The photographer is planning to cover events for the 2025-2026 season, starting with the Feria de Cali (Cali Fair) from December 25 to 30, 2025, followed by the Carnaval de Blancos y Negros (Blacks and Whites Carnival) from January 2 to 7, 2026, and concluding with the Carnaval de Barranquilla (Barranquilla Carnival) from February 14 to 17, 2026. They plan to arrive one day before the first event, on December 24, 2025, and stay until two days after the last event, leaving on February 19, 2026. This results in a stay of 58 days in total.
Neither the first day nor the last day are holidays, nor do they coincide with a weekend. In Colombia, December 24 is a working day, although there are certain exceptions, but they are not related to the user's request.

Mi hijo nació en el 2018 en la capital del estado Táchira, Venezuela. Su nacimiento concordó con la celebración del santo patrono de esa localidad. Si hoy es 7 de mayo de 2025, ¿cuánto falta para el próximo cumpleaños de mi hijo?
|
8 meses y 13 días.
|
My son was born is 2018 in the capital of Táchira State, Venezuela. His birth coincided with the celebration of the patron saint of that locality. If today is May 7, 2025, how long until my son's next birthday?
|
English Reasoning:
1. Identify the birthday:
-The capital of the state of Táchira is San Cristóbal.
-The patron saint of San Cristobal is San Sebastian, whose feast day is celebrated on January 20.
-Therefore, your child's birthday is January 20.
2. Determine the next birthday:
-Today is May 7, 2025.
-The child's birthday in 2025 (January 20, 2025) has already passed.
-So, his next birthday will be January 20, 2026.
3. Calculate the remaining time:
-Full months to the month before the birthday: From May 7, 2025, to January 7, 2026, there are 8 full months (June, July, August, September, October, November, December, and the move to January 2026).
Remaining days:
-We are at January 7, 2026 (conceptually, after counting the 8 months).
-To reach January 20, 2026, there are: 20–7 = 13 days remaining.
So, the child's next birthday (January 20, 2026) there are 8 months and 13 days left.

La vuelta al sol de mi sobrino es el día que llego la nueva constitución a Colombia. A partir de los 10 años, la celebración de su cumpleaños lo aplazamos para el sábado siguiente, a excepción del año 29 de la constitución. Desde entonces, hasta hoy 2 de mayo de 2025 ¿Cuántos de sus cumpleaños se han celebrado la misma fecha que nació?

My nephew’s birthday ("vuelta al sol") falls on the day the new constitution was established in Colombia. Since he was 10 years old, we have celebrated all his birthdays on Saturday, next to his date of birth, except on the 29th anniversary of the constitution. From then until May 2, 2025 (today), how many of his birthdays have been celebrated on the same date he was born?
In Spanish from Colombia, "vuelta al sol" is an expression that means birthday.
|
English Reasoning:
The nephew was born on the day the new constitution was established in Colombia (July 4, 1991).
Since he was 10 years old (2001), his birthdays have been celebrated on the Saturday following his date of birth when his birthday does not fall on a Saturday. Considering the leap years from 2001 to 2025 (2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024), July 4th has fallen on Saturday 3 times (2009, 2015, 2020).
However, the year when the constitution turned 29 (2020) should be excluded, possibly due to the obligatory isolation of the pandemic. Considering this, the birthday has been celebrated on Saturdays coinciding with July 4th two (2) times: 2009 and 2015.

1948年的上海，地下党截获了两份密电。

“货在十六铺码头被调包的装有电台的箱子，昨日已由穿灰长衫者经三轮车运至霞飞路3号。”
密电B：
“三轮车于昨日将在十六铺码头掉包的货物 --- 霞飞路3号内发现的灰长衫者所运箱子 --- 确认为电台。”

|
密电A
|
In 1948 Shanghai, the undergroud party intercepted two encrypted messages:
Message A:
"The box containing the radio receiver, which was swapped at Shiliupu Wharf, was transported yesterday by a person wearing a grey long gown via a tricycle to 3 Xiafei Road."
Message B:
"The tricycle yesterday confirmed that the goods swapped at Shiliupu Wharf - the box transported by a person wearing a grey long gown to 3 Xiafei Road - be the radio receiver.
Question: Both messages mention five elements (person/item/location/time/tool). Which telegram's author has clearer knowledge of the identify of the cargo swapper?
|
English Reasoning: In message A, it uses passive voice (was swapped) focuses on the cargo as the victim, implying insight of the perpetrator. Also, the preposed modifier ("containing radio receiver") shows prior awareness of the box's contents.
While in message B, the active voice ("transported") artificially centers the tricycle, mimicking firsthand action but revealing investigatory hindsight. Secondly, the postposed modifiers, ("from shiliupu wharf", "transported by...") and the dashes create fragmented clauses, typically of reconstructed intelligence. Thirdly, the "所“ structure ("transported by a person wearing a grey long gown") uses Classical Chinese grammar to feign the authority. The structure "a person wearing a grey long gown" + "所”(suo, a Chinese grammatical marker emphasizing the agent's role), paradoxically exposing indirect knowledge. So the author of telegram A knows the swapper's identify better.
English Final Answer: Telegram A

Algunos de los concursantes de años pasados fueron: La Coco, El Pelusa, La Sol, Malvavisco, Pendeja, La Mona, La Chori, Picante, Cucho, Zumo, Pelufo, Gol, Milan, Ariel.
El ganador del concurso fue Malvavisco, por qué es malvado y visco.
¿Cuántos nombres de gatos hay de cada género? Femenino, masculino y neutro.

Prompt Translation To English:
The "Feline Name of the Year" contest is coming up to find the cat in Argentina with the most original name. We want to know what you call your kitty, whether it's a person's name, a feline delirium, a celebrity's name, or a nickname that represents your companion.
Some of the contestants from past years were: La Coco, El Pelusa, La Sol, Malvavisco, Pendeja, La Mona, La Chori, Picante, Cucho, Zumo, Pelufo, Gol, Milan, Ariel.
The winner of the contest was Malvavisco (marshmallow), because he is mischievous (malvado) and cross-eyed (visco "bizco").
How many cat names are there of each gender? Female, male, and neutral.
In Spanish, "malvavisco" it said "marshmallow" to refer to (Malva "mischievous" and visco "cross-eyed").
|
English Reasoning:
The analysis of each cat's name is necessary to determine its gender based on Spanish language indicators. Names with "La" (feminine article) or ending in "a" are typically feminine. Names with "El" (masculine article) or ending in "o" are generally masculine. Names ending in "e" or "i" without a clear article are generally treated as neuter, and some of them are special cases considered neutral, like Milan and Ariel, due to cultural reasons.
Feminine (La Coco, La Sol, Pendeja, La Mona, La Chori) = 5
Masculine (El Pelusa, Malvavisco, Cucho, Zumo, Pelufo, Gol) = 6
Neutral (Picante, Milan, Ariel) = 3

En el salón de clases de mi hijo, hay niños con diferentes estatus sociales. Están los niños de la familia Rico, Ana Rico y Pedro Rico, son muy amigos de mi hijo. Están los pobres hijos de la viuda Agustina, ellos son Pedrito y Carlos. Y los niños pobres que viven en el edificio frente a la escuela, María y Javi.
¿Quiénes son los niños que tienen un estatus social más bajo?
|
María y Javi
|
In my son's classroom, there are children with different social statuses. There are the children from the Rico family, Ana Rico and Pedro Rico; they are very good friends of my son. There are the "poor children" ("pobres niños" expression of compassion) of the widow Agustina; they are Pedrito and Carlos. And the "poor children" ("niños pobres" description of socioeconomic status) who live in the building opposite the school, María and Javi. Who are the children with the lowest social status?
|
English Reasoning: In the analysis of the language used to describe the different children in the classroom, not only the content but also the position of certain words influences their interpretation. A key case is the adjective "poor."
Three groups of children are presented. Ana and Pedro carry the surname "Rico" (rich)m which could suggest wealth, but it is only a surname, unrelated to their economic situation.
In the second group, reference is made to "the poor children of the widow Agustina" ("los pobres niños de la viuda Agustina"). Here, the word "poor" ("pobres") is found before the noun "children" ("niños"). This position is usually used in Spanish to express compassion or pity rather than an economic description. Thus, in the context, "pobres" (poor) conveys empathy for the children for having lost their father, not necessarily a condition of material scarcity.
In contrast, when describing Maria and Javi as "the poor children who live in the building across the street from the school" ("los niños pobres que viven en el edificio frente a la escuela") the adjective "poor" ("pobres") appears after the noun "children" ("niños"). In Spanish, this position is often used to literally indicate a lack of economic resources.
English Final Answer: María and Javi.

Mon premier a un corps, une cheville et peut-être celtique ou mexicaine.
Mon deuxième est, en fonction de son accent, un complément ou la possibilité d'avoir.
Mon troisième est la première syllabe d'un verbe qui peut importuner ou surestimer.
Mon tout est une figure de style qui permet de continuer à faire vivre une création de Molière.
|
Harpagon.
|
My first has a body, a tuning peg, and can be Celtic or Mexican.
My second is in French and depending on its accent, a complement, or the possibility of having.
My third is the first syllable of a French verb that can annoy or overestimate.
My whole is a figure of speech that allows to keep alive a creation of Molière.
|
The riddle is a French charade:
1. First part: an harp is a musical instrument with a body, a tuning peg (cheville in French), and can be Celtic and Mexican versions
2. The second part's meaning changes with its accent. Without an accent, "a" is a verb meaning "has," but with an accent ("à"), it becomes a preposition meaning "to" or indicating a condition, potentially making it a complement or indicating possibility or capability.
3. Third part: The verb "to inflate" can mean "to annoy" (in French "tu me gonfles" which literally mean "you inflate me") or to exaggerate something ("inflate the numbers").
Putting them together gives harp + a + gon → Harpagon, the miser in Molière’s L’Avare. This proper name is used as an antonomasia (a figure of speech), invoking the character to denote any miser and thus keeping Molière’s creation alive.

Mon quatrième est la première lettre d'un objet symbolique
Mon cinquième est ce que l'on dit quand on doute

My first is what one says to start something.

My third is the first letter of the onomatopoeia we say when we get hurt.
My fourth is the first letter of a symbolic object.
My fifth is what one says when one doubts.
My whole is something children love.

English Reasoning: You say “go” to start something, giving G. The pronoun “elle” (to point to someone) sounds like the letter L. The onomatopoeia “aïe” starts with A. A symbolic object like a cross (“croix”) starts with C. Hesitation “euh” gives E. Putting these letters together spells GLACE, which means ice cream.

Están mi mamá, mi jefa y mi amiga.
Pista:
* A la que está aquí, le digo "Ya le traigo lo que necesita, jefecita"
* A la que está ahí, le digo "Si, señora, yo me encargo de todo"
* A la que está allí, le digo "¿Qué onda vieja, cómo estás?"
¿Quién está en cada lugar?

Prompt Translation to English: There are three people in front of me, but they are all at different distances. One is here, another is there, and the last one is over there. Each one has a different relationship and way of interacting with me.
They are my mom, my boss, and my friend.
Hint:
To the one who is here (aquí, closest to the speaker), I say, "I'll bring you what you need right away, little boss. (Jefecita, which is a slang term for mother in Mexico)"
To the one who is there (ahí, medium distance), I say, "Yes, ma'am, I'll take care of everything."
To the one who is over there (allí, farther away), I say, "What's up, old gal, how are you?"
Who is in each place?
|
English Reasoning:
The term “jefecita” is an affectionate diminutive of “jefa,” commonly used to refer to one’s mother in Mexico and some countries in Latin America. “Señora” is a formal address ideally suited for a boss. “Vieja” is casual slang used among friends. Therefore, the person I call “jefecita” must be my mom (the one here), the one I address as “señora” is my boss (the one there), and the one I greet as “vieja” is my friend (the one over there).
English Final Answer:
Here: my mom
There: my boss
Over there: my friend

This French charade is about the sport of angling (rod fishing).
My first is the antonym of war: the word "paix" is pronounced like "pê" in French.
They say of my second that at night they're all gray: it's a well-known proverb about cats.
My third is used when humming: when you hum in French, you often make a sound like "la".
My fourth helps you write straight: lines make letters form straight, improving presentation and legibility.
My all is a sport. When you combine the syllables PÊ (for "paix " [peace]) + (CHE + À) (for chat [cat]) + LA (humming) + LIGNE (helps you write straight), you create the sport name in French "pêche à la ligne," which is pronounced like “paix chat la ligne".

During the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan era, a merchant selling silk on the Silk Road wrote in his ledger:
(1)Sold 25 bolts (a unit of length) of silk, received 25 guan and 325 wen (guan and wen are ancient Chinese unit of currency, 1 guan = 1000 wen).
(2) Purchased 200 zhang of silk, spent 30 guan and 670 wen. Assuming the merchant sells the silk from the second purchase at the original price of the first transaction, what is the average profit per meter (modern unit) of silk in wen? Round to the nearest integer.
|
English Reasoning: 1. Unit conversion. In Tang Dynasty, 1 guan = 1000 wen, 1 bolt = 4 zhang, 1 zhang = 10 chi, 1 m= 3 zhang. Thus 1 bolt = 4 zhang = 12 meters
2. in the first transaction, sold 25 * 12=300 meters, revenue 25 * 1000 + 325 = 25325 wen, price per meter = 25325 / 300 meter = 84.4166 wen/m
3. second transaction, cost per meter = (30*1000+670)/(200*3) = 51.1167 wen/m
4. profit calculation: 84.4166 - 51.1167 = 33 (round to integer)
English Final Answer: 33

Pour me souvenir du code CVV de ma carte bancaire sans que personne puisse la reconnaitre, je l'ai noté sur un bout de papier en utilisant le système de Boby Lapointe, sous la forme d'un mot familier signifiant "moi" et contenant les lettres "B" et "I".
Quel est le code en décimal ?
|
"119"
|
To remember my credit card's CVV code without anyone recognizing it, I wrote it on a piece of paper using the Boby Lapointe system, in the form of a French slang word meaning "me" containing the letters "B" and "I".
What is the code in decimal?
|
The code in decimal is 119.
The colloquial French word for “me” containing the letters “B” and ‘I’ in Boby Lapointe's bibi-binary system is “BIBI”.
Indeed, “bibi” is a French slang term meaning ‘me’ or “my person”, and in the bibi-binary system, each syllable “BI” corresponds to the hexadecimal number 7 (binary 0111). Thus, the word “BIBI” corresponds to the hexadecimal sequence 77.
For a CVV code (generally a three-digit code), this hexadecimal value can be translated into a decimal:
77 (hex) = 7 x 16^1 + 7 x 16^0
= 7x16 + 7x1
= 112 + 7
= 119.

I am a minor and will be working as an apprentice for the first time. How much gross salary will I accumulate at minimum by the end of my six-month contract? Give me an exact amount to the decimal. My employer's collective agreement does not reference this. We are in January 2023.
|
GTFA: EUR 2789.50
An apprentice under 18 years old would have earned 27% of the gross monthly salary (SMIC), which was different from January to April, then starting as of May 1st.
In this case, the calculation is the following:
- January to April = 27% of 1709.28 = 461.50 x 4 = EUR 1846.02.
- May and June = 27% of 1747.20 = 471.74 x 2 = EUR 943.48
Total = 1846.02 + 943.48 = 2789.50.

Mi tío Wilder estaba de visita en Lima y fue al mercado de Surquillo con un cheque para comprar algunas cosas que faltaban para el almuerzo.
Los vendedores les dieron los precios así:
-3 Kg de papa amarilla a 2 lucas por kilo.
-2 Kg de cebolla arequipeña a luca y china por kilo.
-2 Kg de bonito a S/.7.00 por kilo.
-Un atado de verduras a china.
-Un jugo surtido a S/.3.80.
-2 Kg de arroz Faraón a 5 lucas por kilo.
Y su yapa dos mandarinas.
¿Con cuánto dinero regresó a casa si luego de las compras me vio en el camino y me dio S/. 12.80 de propina?
|
49.90 PEN (S/. 49.90)
|
My uncle Wilder is visiting Lima, went shopping at the local market with a “cheque” (a Peruvian slang term for S/.100.00 soles, PEN-Peruvian currency). The vendors gave him the prices as follows:
-3 kg of yellow potatoes at 2 “lucas” per kilo (1 luca = 1 PEN)
-2 kg of “arequipeña” onions at 1 “luca china” per kilo (1 luca china = 1.50 PEN)
-2 kg of fish at S/7.00 per kilo (7 PEN)
-A bundle of vegetables for 1 “china” (1 china = 0.50 PEN)
-A mixed juice for S/3.80 (3.80 PEN)
-2 kg of Faraón-brand rice at 5 “lucas” per kilo (5 PEN per kilo)
He also received 2 tangerines for free as a yapa (a traditional market bonus or extra gift).
How much money did you return home with if, after shopping, you saw me on the way and gave me a tip of S/. 12.80?
|
English Reasoning: To find out how much money Uncle Wilder had left after his shopping trip, it is necessary to understand some local terms used in Peru:
In Peru, the slang term “cheque” (pronounced like "cashier's check") refers to a 100-sol bill (S/.100.00), which is the local currency (PEN – Peruvian Sol). A “luca” is slang for 1 sol, and a “china” is slang for 0.50 soles (fifty cents). A “yapa” is a small free bonus, like fruit or an extra item, that vendors often give to customers as a friendly gesture—it’s free and not included in the price.
Peru's currency is the sol (S/), and its international code is PEN.
Now, let’s break down what Uncle Wilder spent:
3 kg of yellow potatoes at 2 lucas (2 PEN) per kilo → 3 × 2 = 6 PEN
2 kg of “arequipeña” onions at 1 “luca china” (1.50 PEN) per kilo → 2 × 1.50 = 3 PEN
2 kg of fish at S/.7 soles (PEN) per kilo → 2 × 7 = 14 PEN
A bundle of vegetables for 1 "china" → 0.50 PEN
A mixed juice → 3.80 PEN
2 kg of Faraón rice at 5 lucas (5 PEN) per kilo → 2 × 5 = 10 PEN
He also received 2 tangerines as a yapa, a free extra, so that doesn’t count toward the cost.
Total spent on groceries:
S/.6 + S/.3 + S/.14 + S/.0.50 + S/.3.80 + S/.10 = S/.37.30 PEN
After shopping, he saw me on the way home and gave me S/.12.80 PEN as a tip.
Total spent (groceries + tip):
S/.37.30 + S/.12.80 = S/.50.10 PEN
He started with a “cheque” (S/.100.00), so after spending S/.50.10, he had S/.49.90 left.
English Final Answer: 49.90 PEN (In Spanish: S/.49.90)

Mi compa y yo somos buenos amigos, pero como todo buen argentino somos pibes muy competitivos. Esta vez decidimos ver quién de los dos puede ahorrar más durante todo el 2025, iniciando desde enero.
Él es muy desordenado, por lo tanto, solo ahorra cuando le sobra algo a fin de mes. En cambio, yo decidí armar una estrategia que sé que me dará la victoria y lo hará morder el polvo. He decidido ahorrar sistemáticamente 35 lucas cada vez que en el calendario caiga un feriado inamovible, pero para asegurarme de ganar, al finalizar la primera mitad del año usaré parte de mi aguinaldo para hacer un ahorro extra equivalente al 20% de lo que lleve ahorrado hasta ese momento, y luego continuaré con mi esquema habitual.
Quiero hacer una proyección para saber si al final del año tendré una buena cantidad de dinero. Si sigo este esquema sin faltas ¿Cuántos pesos tendré al finalizar el año?
|
483.000 pesos.
|
My buddy and I are good friends, but like all good Argentinians, we are very competitive guys ("pibes"). This time we decided to see which of us can save more throughout 2025, starting in January.
He is very disorganized, so he only saves if he has something left over at the end of the month. On the other hand, I decided to create a strategy that I know will give me victory and make him bite the dust. I've decided to systematically save 35 "lucas" (35,000 pesos) every time a non-movable public holiday occurs on the calendar. But to ensure I win, at the end of the first half of the year, I will use part of my mid-year bonus ("aguinaldo") to make an extra saving equivalent to 20% of what I have saved up to that moment, and then I will continue with my usual scheme.
I want to make a projection to know if by the end of the year I will have a good amount of money. If I follow this scheme without fail, how many pesos will I have at the end of the year?
|
English Reasoning: To calculate the total savings by the end of 2025, we need to follow these steps:
1) Identify the number of non-movable holidays in Argentina by 2025: The calendar decreed by the Argentine national government establishes a total of 12 non-movable holidays in 2025.
2) Identify the number of non-movable holidays that correspond to the first half of the year. These are January 1st; March 3rd, 4th and 24th; April 2nd and 18th; May 1st and 25th; June 20th. There are 9 holidays en total.
3) Identify the number of non-movable holidays that correspond to the second half of the year. These are July 9th; December 8th and 25th. There are 3 holidays in total.
In Argentina, the expression "lucas" is used to refer to money, specifically to amounts in the tens of thousands. Keeping this in mind:
• First half savings (January-June): 9 holidays x 35 lucas = 315 lucas.
• Mid-year bonus ("aguinaldo"): 315 x 20% = 63 lucas.
• Total after mid-year: 315 + 63 = 378 lucas.
• Second half savings (July-December): 3 holidays x 35 lucas = 105 lucas.
Total savings by year-end: 378 + 105 = 483 lucas.
To know how much this is in pesos, we must do the conversion.
1 luca = 1,000 pesos.
483 x 1,000 = 483,000 pesos.
English Final Answer: 483,000 pesos.

Mi amigo español, me contó que su abuelo, que vivía en Castilla, hacía vino artesanal. La producción por 15 días era de 3 cántaras y vendía cada cántara en 300 rubias. ¿Cuántas pesetas obtenía al mes por litro?
|
18.60 pesetas
|
My Spanish friend told me that his grandfather, who lived in Castile, made artisanal wine. The production for 15 days was 3 "cántaras" (traditional Spanish measure), and he sold each "cántara" (traditional Spanish measure) for 300 "rubias" (old Spanish currency). How many "pesetas" (old Spanish currency) did he obtain per month per liter?
|
English Reasoning: To determine the number of "pesetas" obtained per month per liter, we need to follow these steps:
1. Understand the units and make necessary assumptions:
• "Rubias" was a colloquial term for "pesetas" in Spain. Therefore, 300 rubias = 300 pesetas.
• A "cántara" is an old Spanish unit of liquid volume. Its value varied by region, and a common value for wine in Castile (Castilla) was approximately 16.13 liters. We will use this assumption: 1 cántara = 16.13 liters.
2. We want to know how many "pesetas" are obtained per liter per month.
Production and price:
• 3 cántaras are produced in 15 days, so in 30 days (1 month) 6 pitchers are produced.
• Each pitcher sells for 300 pesetas, so in one month you get 6 x 300 = 1800 pesetas.
Volume conversion:
• 1 cántara equals 16.13 liters, then in one month 6 x 16.13 = 96.78 liters are produced.
Final calculation:
We divide the total pesetas by the total liters:
1800 ÷ 96.78 = 18.60 pesetas per liter.
English Final Answer= 18.60 pesetas

Mi abuelo siempre cuenta como fue que se compró su primera casa en Venezuela. Cuando era joven, jugó dominó venezolano en pareja y apostaron que los que perdieran tenían que agregarle un 0 a sus puntos y esa cantidad la duplicaban y era lo que le debían pagar en lochas a la pareja ganadora. Fue una sola mano y afortunadamente mi abuelo ganó, los perdedores terminaron con las siguientes fichas:
Perdedor 1: la cochina y el cinco cuatro.
Perdedor 2: mulas de cero y doble cuatro.
¿Cuántos bolívares le tuvieron que pagar a mi abuelo y a su compañero?
|
72.5 bolívares
|
My grandfather always tells the story of how he bought his first house in Venezuela. When he was young, he played Venezuelan dominoes in pairs, and they bet that the losers would have to add a 0 to their points, duplicate that amount, and that would be what they owed the winning pair in "lochas" (traditional Venezuelan currency). It was a single hand, and fortunately, my grandfather won. The losers ended up with the following tiles:
Loser 1: the "cochina" (double six) and the five-four.
Loser 2: "mulas de cero" (double blank) and a double four.
How many "bolívares" (Venezuelan currency) did they have to pay my grandfather and his partner?
|
English Reasoning: First, we need to calculate the points each losing player had based on their domino tiles:
Loser 1's tiles:
• "La cochina" is the double-six tile (6-6). The sum of its pips is 6+6 = 12 points.
• "El cinco cuatro" is the five-four tile (5-4). The sum of its pips is 5+4 = 9 points.
• Total points for Loser 1 = 12+9 = 21 points.
Loser 2's tiles:
• "Mulas de cero" (double blank) is the double-zero tile (0-0). The sum of its pips is 0+0 = 0 points.
•"Doble cuatro" is the double-four tile (4-4). The sum of its pips is 4+4 = 8 points.
• Total points for Loser 2 = 0+8 = 8 points.
Next, we apply the betting conditions to each loser's score to find out how many "lochas" (traditional Venezuelan currency) they owed. The rule is to "add a 0
to their points" (which means multiplying by 10) and then "duplicate that amount" (multiply by 2).
For Loser 1 (21 points):
• Add a 0 to the points: 21 becomes 210.
• Duplicate this amount: 210 x 2 = 420 lochas.
For Loser 2 (8 points):
• Add a 0 to the points: 8 becomes 80.
• Duplicate this amount: 80 x 2 =160 lochas.
The total amount paid in "lochas" to the grandfather and his partner is the sum of what each loser owed:
• Total lochas = 420 (from Loser 1) + 160 (from Loser 2) = 580 lochas.
Finally, we need to convert this amount from "lochas" to "bolívares" (Venezuelan currency). A "locha" was a Venezuelan coin equivalent to 0.125 bolívares (one-eighth of a bolivar).
Therefore, 1 bolívar = 8 lochas.
• Total bolívares = Total lochas/8
• Total bolívares = 580/8 = 72.5 bolívares.
English Final Answer: Bs 72.5 (in Spanish, "72.5 bolívares")

Hace muchos años mi hermano me dijo que me daría 1 "talego" por cada verbo en infinitivo que le dijera en una única frase y si superaba los 3 verbos en infinitivo, multiplicaría la cantidad resultante por el número total de verbos que haya en la frase. A mí se me ocurrió decirle "voy a visitar a mi abuelo en la clínica, pero como hoy quiero ser de los primeros en visitarlo, mejor me voy a ir yendo ya". ¿Cuántas pesetas me dio mi hermano?
|
32000 pesetas.
|
Many years ago, my brother told me he would give me 1 "talego" (a "talego" was a colloquial term for 1000 pesetas) for each infinitive verb I told him in a single sentence, and if I exceeded 3 infinitive verbs, he would multiply the resulting amount by the total number of verbs in the sentence. I came up with saying, "voy a visitar a mi abuelo en la clínica, pero como hoy quiero ser de los primeros en visitarlo, mejor me voy a ir yendo ya" (I'm going to visit my grandfather at the clinic, but since I want to be one of the first to visit him today, I'd better get going now). How many pesetas did my brother give me?
|
English Reasoning: To determine the amount in pesetas, we need to follow these steps:
1. Identify all infinitive verbs in the given Spanish sentence: "voy a visitar a mi abuelo en la clínica, pero como quiero ser de los primeros en visitarlo, mejor me voy a ir yendo ya".
The infinitive verbs are: visitar, ser, visitar (from "visitarlo"), ir.
There are 4 infinitive verbs.
2. Identify the total number of verbs (conjugated, infinitive, or gerund) in the sentence:
Voy (conjugated).
Visitar (infinitive).
Quiero (conjugated).
Ser (infinitive).
Visitar (infinitive).
Voy (conjugated).
Ir (infinitive).
Yendo (gerund).
There are a total of 8 verbs in the sentence.
3. Apply the payment rules:
The brother gives 1 "talego" for each infinitive verb. With 4 infinitive verbs, this is 4×1=4 "talegos".
The condition "if I exceeded 3 infinitive verbs"is met, as 4 is greater than 3.
Therefore, the resulting amount (4 "talegos") is multiplied by the total.
Total "talegos"= 4×8=32 "talegos".
4. Convert "talegos"to pesetas:
1 "talego" was a colloquial term for 1000 pesetas.
Total pesetas = 32 "talegos"×1000 pesetas= 32000 pesetas.
English Final Answer: 32000 pesetas

Mi bisabuelo me contó que durante su juventud él vendía vino. Mi bisabuelo vivió toda su vida en León y me dijo que antes medían las cosas de una manera diferente. Cuando le pregunté que cómo le había ido en su negocio de venta de vino, me dijo que de lunes a viernes él vendía dos arrobas y media por las mañanas y 4 arrobas por las tardes. Los fines de semana le iba aún mejor, ya que vendía 4 arrobas y media por las mañanas y 8 arrobas por la tarde.
Me sorprendió la cantidad de vinos que solía vender, así que me interesé en hacer las cuentas para saber cuánta era su venta diaria, pero como no entiendo esas medidas que me dio se me complicó.
Dime ¿Cuántos litros de vino vendía en promedio por día durante toda la semana?
|
130,11 litros.
|
My great-grandfather told me that during his youth he used to sell wine. My great-grandfather lived his entire life in León and told me that they used to measure things differently back then. When I asked him how his wine business went, he told me that from Monday to Friday he sold two and a half "arrobas" (unit of measurement) in the mornings and 4 "arrobas" (unit of measurement) in the afternoons. On weekends it went even better, as he sold 4 and a half "arrobas" (unit of measurement) in the mornings and 8 "arrobas" (unit of measurement) in the afternoons.
I was surprised by the amount of wine he used to sell, so I was interested in calculating his daily sales, but since I don't understand those measurements he gave me, it became complicated.
Tell me, how many liters of wine did he sell on average per day throughout the week?
|
English Reasoning: To solve this problem, we first need to understand the unit of measurement "arroba" and its equivalent in liters. An "arroba" is an old Spanish unit of measurement. In the context of liquid volume, particularly for wine in León, Spain, "media arroba" (half an arroba) is equivalent to 7.92 liters, therefore, one arroba is 15.84 liters. we need to calculate the total amount of wine sold during the week and then find the daily average.
1. Calculate weekly sales.
From Monday to Friday:
Morning sales: 2.5 arrobas x 5 days = 12.5 arrobas
Afternoon sales: 4 arrobas x 5 days = 20 arrobas
On weekends:
Morning sales: 4.5 arrobas x 2 days = 9 arrobas
Afternoon sales: 8 arrobas x 2 days = 16 arrobas
Total weekly sales in arrobas: 12.5 + 20 + 9 + 16 = 57.5 arrobas
2. Convert total arrobas to liters:
One arroba = 15.84 liters
Total liters: 57.5 x 15.84 = 910.8 liters
3. Calculate the daily average by dividing the total liters by 7:
Daily average: 910.8 liters / 7 days = 130.11 liters per day
English Final Answer: 130,11 liters.

Mi abuelo es un ejidatario en el pueblo y me encontré sus escrituras del terreno que le heredo su tatarabuelo muchos años atrás. En el documento se especifican cada una de las particiones y sus dimensiones, pero las medidas que se usan vienen del antiguo sistema español y mezcla unidades de diversas provincias. ¿Puedes decirme cuantas hectáreas tiene el ejido?
Esta es la información que se especifica:
1. El área de la granja tiene una superficie de 300 vesanas de tierra de Girona.
2. El área designada para asentamiento y vivienda tiene una superficie de 4200 estadales cuadrados de Málaga.
3. El pastoreo se hace en el área de 120 días de bueyes de Oviedo.
4. El área privada del patrón es de 70 tahúllas de Murcia.
5. Las tierras no parceladas tienen un área de 45 marcos de Madrid.

My grandfather is an ejidatario (communal landholder) in the village, and I found his land deeds that were inherited from his great-great-grandfather many years ago. The document specifies each of the partitions and their dimensions, but the measurements used come from the old Spanish system and mix units from various provinces. Can you tell me how many hectares the ejido (common land) has?
This is the information specified:
1. The farm area has a surface of 300 vesanas of land from Girona.
2. The area designated for settlement and housing has a surface of 4200 square estadales from Málaga.
3. Grazing is done in an area of 120 días de bueyes (oxen days) from Oviedo.
4. The patron's private area is 70 tahúllas from Murcia.
5. The unparceled lands have an area of 45 Marcos from Madrid.
|
English Reasoning: We need to convert all these old Spanish units to hectares and then add them up. Let's convert each measurement:
Vesana (Girona): 1 vesana = 0.2187 hectares
300 vesanas = 300 × 0.2187 = 65.61 hectares
Estadal cuadrado (Málaga): 1 estadal cuadrado = 0.001118 hectares
4200 estadales cuadrados = 4200 × 0.001118 = 4.6956 hectares
Día de bueyes (Oviedo): 1 día de bueyes = 0.125772 hectares
120 días de bueyes = 120 × 0.125772 = 15.09264 hectares
Tahúlla (Murcia): 1 tahúlla = 0.1118 hectares
70 tahúllas = 70 × 0.1118 = 7.826 hectares
Marco (Madrid): 1 marco = 0.342381 hectares
45 marcos = 45 × 0.342381 = 15.407145 hectares
Total area = 65.61 + 4.6956 + 15.09264 + 7.826 + 15.407145 = 108.631385 hectares
English Final Answer: 108.63 ha.

En la casa de mi abuela en Colombia encontramos una guaca con tres bolsitas de plata que perdió hace muchos años y nunca encontró. En una bolsa encontramos 30 lucas, en la otra 100 barras y en la última 2 palos. Si mi prima me la aplicó y me tumbó un cuarto y mi hermano se quiere encaletar la mitad del cambio. ¿Cuánta plata en pesos colombianos me queda?
|
798.750 pesos colombianos
|
In my grandmother's house in Colombia, we found a hidden treasure ("guaca") with three small bags of money she had lost many years ago and never found. In one bag, we found 30 "lucas" (thousand pesos), in another 100 "barras" (thousand pesos), and in the last one 2 "palos" (million pesos). If my cousin tricked me and took a quarter, and my brother wants to hide half of the remainder. How much Colombian money do I have left?
|
English Reasoning: To find the answer to this prompt, it is necessary to understand some colloquial concepts related to money in Colombia: “luca,” “barras,” and “palos.” In the daily context in Colombia, “luca” is used to refer to the thousand-peso bill (“luca”: 1,000 Colombian pesos COP). “Barras“ is a colloquial way of referring to money, specifically to the sum of 1000 Colombian pesos (”barras": 1,000 Colombian pesos COP). “Palo“ refers to an amount of money equivalent to one million Colombian pesos (”palo": 1,000,000 Colombian pesos COP). COP is the Colombian currency. In this way, they find a hidden treasure (“guaca”) with money (“plata,” a colloquial way of referring to money in Colombia). Where they find it:
• A bag with 30 “lucas,” which is equivalent to 30,000 COP (thirty thousand Colombian pesos).
• A bag with 100 “barras,” which is equivalent to 100,000 COP (one hundred thousand Colombian pesos).
• A bag with 2 “palos,” which is equivalent to 2,000,000 COP (two million Colombian pesos).
In total, they find 2,130,000 pesos.
Of which, the female cousin takes a quarter of the total. Here is a colloquial expression: "If my cousin tricked me and took a quarter" ("si mi prima me la aplicó y me tumbó”) means that the cousin took advantage of the occasion for her own benefit or interest. So,
2,130,000 × ¼ = 532,500 pesos
Leaving a remainder (“cambio” refers to the money left over after a payment is made) of 2,130,000 - 532,500 = 1,597,500 pesos
Of this money, the brother wants to withhold half (“encaletarse,” means to hide something or someone), then 1,597,500 × ½ = 798,750 pesos.
What the person has left is 1,597,500 - 798,750 = 798,750 Colombian pesos.
English Final Answer: 798,750 Colombian pesos.

我最近找到一个药品古方。根据汉朝时期的度量衡，古方列明需要把5升的白开水，1升的白酒和0.5升的绿茶配合中药一起熬制。水量熬煮到一开始总数的五分之四加入1升的米酒，搅拌均匀即可。我需要把它分成四分给朋友和自己饮用。那我会喝到多少毫升呢？
|
310毫升

Prompt Translation to English:
I recently discovered an ancient medicinal recipe from the Han dynasty. It involves mixing 5 liters (升) of boiled water, 1 liter (升) of white wine, and 0.5 liters (升) of green tea with herbs. Boil the mixture until it reduces to four-fifths of the original volume. Then, add 1 liter (升) of rice wine and stir well. I need to divide it into four portions for my friends and me to drink. How many milliliters (毫升) will I drink?
|
English Reasoning:
1. In the Han dynasty, 1 liter was equal to 200 milliliters.
2. Initial volumes are: 5 liters of boiled water, 1 liter of white wine, and 0.5 liters of green tea.
3. Total initial volume: 5 + 1 + 0.5 = 6.5 liters.
4. After boiling, the volume is four-fifths of the initial volume: (4/5) * 6.5 = 5.2 liters.
5. Adding 1 liter of rice wine results in a final volume of 5.2 + 1 = 6.2 liters.
6. Converting to milliliters: 6.2 liters * 200 ml/liter = 1240 ml.
7. Dividing into four equal portions gives: 1240 ml / 4 = 310 ml per portion.
English Final Answer: 310 ml

史书记载，刘武下葬时有40万斤黄金陪葬。如果以一公斤黄金75万元来换算，请问当年的黄金现在值多少钱？

Historical records state that Liu Wu was buried with 400,000 jin of gold. If we assume that now the value of gold is 750,000 yuan per kilogram, how much would that weight of gold be worth currently?
|
English Reasoning: Liu Wu is the brother of Emperor Jing of Han Dynasty. Thus, we need to convert 400,000 jin (a wighting unit) to kilograms first. In the Han Dynasty 1 jin = 248 grams. 400,000 jin = 400,000 × 0.248 kg = 99,200 kg. Multiply by the value per kilogram: 99,200 kg × 750,000 yuan/kg = 74,400,000,000 yuan (74.4 billion yuan).
English Final Answer: The gold would be worth 74.4 billion yuan currently.

Mi papá, cuando era un niño, ayudaba a mi abuelo a sembrar y vender plátanos en Venezuela. Me contó que una vez nació un racimo de 30 plátanos, y a él le tocó venderlos. Cada plátano lo vendió en 1 cobre, y cuando regresó, mi abuelo le dijo que se podía quedar con el 25 % de la venta. ¿Cuántos bolívares se ganó mi padre?
|
0.47 bolívares
|
My dad, when he was a child, helped my grandfather plant and sell plantains in Venezuela. He told me that once a bunch of 30 plantains was born, and he had to sell them; each plantain was sold for 1 "cobre" (old Venezuelan currency), and when he returned, my grandfather told him he could keep 25% of the sale. How many "bolívares" (Venezuelan currency) did my father earn?
|
English Reasoning:
"Cobre" is an old traditional currency that was used in Venezuela, and its value in "bolívares" (Venezuelan currency) was:
1 cobre = Bs. 0.0625
Let's solve this problem step by step:
• Quantity of plantains sold: 30
• Selling price per plantain: 1 cobre per plantain
• Total in cobres: 30 x 1 = 30 cobres
• Coversion of cobres to bolivares:
30 x 0.0625 = Bs. 1.875
• Percentage that your father keeps (25%):
25% of Bs. 1.875 = 1.875 x 0.25 = Bs. 0.47
• Result:
Your dad earned Bs. 0.47 for selling the plantains.
English Final Answer: Bs. 0.47 (in Spanish, "0.47 bolívares")

En el mercado de Huamanga, se organizan ferias todos los domingos para que los agricultores vendan los productos de sus chacras. Una señora llegó con 10 arrobas de papa y vendió el kilo a S/ 4.50.
¿Cuál fue su ganancia si luego de vender todo tuvo que pagar S/ 210.00 al camionero , S/. 74.20 a la persona que la ayudó a vender, 15 manguitos al inspector municipal y una manito del menú?
|
S/ 213.30
|
In the market of Huamanga (a city in Peru), Sunday fairs are held so that farmers can sell the products from their fields. A woman arrived with 10 "arrobas" (a unit of weight used in Peru for agricultural products) of potatoes and sold them at 4.50 PEN per kilogram.
What was her profit if, after selling everything, she had to pay 210.00 PEN to the truck driver, 74.20 PEN to the person who helped her sell, 15 "manguitos" (a slang term for Nuevos Soles – PEN) to the municipal inspector, and "una manito" (slang for 5 PEN) for lunch?
|
English Reasoning: To understand and solve this exercise, it’s important to consider some cultural and commonly used terms in Peru:
The official currency of Peru is the Nuevo Sol (PEN). However, in everyday speech, people often use colloquial terms to refer to this currency. For example, "manguitos," "lucas," or "luquitas" are all slang for 1 PEN. So, saying "15 manguitos" is the same as saying 15 PEN.
Another commonly used expression is "una manito" (literally "a little hand"), which refers to 5 PEN, symbolizing the five fingers of a hand, each finger representing 1 PEN.
Additionally, the "arroba" is a traditional unit of measurement used for agricultural products. In Peru, 1 "arroba" equals 11.5 kilograms.
With this context in mind, let's answer the question step by step:
-A woman arrived at the market with 10 "arrobas" of potatoes.
-Since each arroba weighs 11.5 kilograms
-> She brought: 10 "arrobas" × 11.5 kg = 115 kg of potatoes
She sold the potatoes at 4.50 PEN per kilogram.
So, her total sales amounted to: 115 kg × 4.50 PEN = 517.50 PEN
After selling everything, she had the following expenses:
-Payment to the truck driver: 210.00 PEN
-Payment to the person who helped her sell: 74.20 PEN
-Payment to the municipal inspector: 15.00 PEN (15 "manguitos")
-Payment for lunch: 5.00 PEN ("una manito")
Total expenses: 210.00 + 74.20 + 15.00 + 5.00 = 304.20 PEN
Finally, her net profit after deducting expenses was:
517.50 - 304.20 = 213.30 PEN
English Final Answer: 213.30 PEN (In Spanish: S/ 213.30)

Je dois envoyer les invitations pour la classe en 5 de la fête des conscrits à Tence. Sachant que j'habite a Pau et en tenant compte des délais postaux (Je souhaite l'option d'envoi la moins cher avec la poste) , à quelle date dois-je envoyer les courier au plus tard pour qu'ils arrivent une semaine avant la fête des conscrits 2025 ?

I need to send the invitations for the “classe en 5” to the Fête des conscrits in Tence. Knowing that I live in Pau and taking postal delays into account (I want La Poste’s cheapest mail option), by what date must I send the letters at the latest so they arrive one week before the Fête des conscrits 2025?
|
To determine the latest mailing date, we need to account for the cheapest postal service (Lettre Verte, 3 working days delivery within France) and ensure arrival one week before the event. The 2025 conscripts' party date in Tence is planned for July 26, 2025. We calculate backward: subtract 7 days (target arrival) and add 3 working days (delivery time). Considering that the target arrival is then July 19, 2025. The letter would then need to be sent at last on July 16, 2025. (3 working days before).

Peux-tu me donner la réponse à cela : dans le mot "traquenard" chaque consonne vaut 5 points et chaque voyelle dix points, mais seulement si le mot est placé avant ou après un verbe et que le domestique ancien est présent. Dans la phrase suivante : "Ce cuistre avait un accoutrement trop coruscant, le rendant presque croquignolesque, cela sentait le traquenard a plein nez ! ", combien y a t-il de points ?
|
70 points.
|
Can you give me the answer to this: in the word 'traquenard' (trap) each consonant is worth 5 points and each vowel 10 points, but only if the word is positioned before or after a verb and the old domestic is present. In the following sentence: 'Ce cuistre avait un accoutrement (attire) trop coruscant , le rendant presque croquignolesque (crunchy), cela sentait le traquenard (trap) à plein nez !', how many points are there?
|
70 points. To determine if the conditions are met: yes, the word 'traquenard' is placed after a verb ('sentait'), and the old domestic is present, since 'cuistre' (now meaning pedant) was once used to refer to a domestic. Therefore, we can concentrate on the consonants (6), worth 5 points each: 6x5=30, so 30 points, and the vowels (4), each worth 10 points (10x4=40), so 40 points. So the total number of points for the word 'traquenard' is 70 points.

J'ai 18 ans et je suis étudiant en Guadeloupe. Depuis la rentrée de septembre 2024, je travaille tous les week-ends, les jours fériés et les vacances scolaires. Je travaille 6 heures par jour pour 15 euros brut. Sans compter Noël, où je ne travaillerai pas, combien est-ce que j'aurais gagné en brut en tout, d'ici à la fin d'année 2024 ?

I am 18 years old and a student in Guadeloupe. Since the start of the school year in September 2024, I work every weekend, public holiday, and school holiday. I work 6 hours a day for 15 euros gross. Without counting Christmas, when I will not work, how much gross will I have earned in total by the end of 2024?
|
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the total number of days worked from September 2024 to December 2024, excluding Christmas Day. We will then multiply this number by the daily earnings (6 hours * 15 euros per hour).
Let's break down the days:
In Guadeloupe, the start of the school year is September 2nd in 2024.
In September, there are 4 Saturdays and 4 Sundays and no holidays, so 8 work days.
In October, there are 4 Saturdays and 4 Sundays and holidays from October 23 to November 3 (both included). It is important to note that in Guadeloupe, for the 2024-2025 school year Monday May 26 and Wednesday May 28 have been offset by the following school days: Monday October 21 and Tuesday October 22, 2024. In metropolitan France, All saint's day holidays are from October 19th to November 4th but it's not the case in Guadeloupe, they have two less days of holidays in October 2024 (from October 23 to November 3). Therefore, in October 2024, there are 15 work days in total (weekends and holidays included).
In November, 5 Saturdays and 4 Sundays, 1 holiday (November 3rd) and 1 public holiday (November 11th - Armistice Day). In November, there are 11 work days.
In December, 4 Saturdays and 5 Sundays and holidays from December 21th to the end of the year. The student is not working on Christmas day so there are 15 work days.
In total, there are : 8 + 15 + 11 + 15 = 49 work day.
Daily earnings = 6 hours * 15 euros/hour = 90 euros.
Total earnings by the end of the year of 2024 = 49 days * 90 euros/day = 4410 euros gross.

Je souhaite photographier le quartier de La Défense en vue panoramique avec mon drone. Pour des raisons de batterie, je ne peux pas monter plus haut que la différence entre la hauteur de la flèche de la Tour First et la hauteur maximale de vol, sans autorisation, à une distance de 2200 mètres d'un héliport.
Quelle est la hauteur maximale que peut atteindre mon drone ?
|
"180 mètres."
|
I'd like to take a panoramic view of the La Défense district with my drone. For battery reasons, I can't go higher than the difference between the height of the spire of the First Tower and the maximum flight height, without authorization, at a distance of 2200 meters from a heliport.
What is the maximum height my drone can reach?
|
The drone can't go higher than 181 meters.
The height of the First Tower spire is 231 meters, and the maximum height for flying without authorization at 2200 meters from the heliport is 50 meters, so the drone can't go higher than 181 meters (231 m - 50 m).
