J'envisage un grand repas champêtre pour l'anniversaire de ma meilleure amie. Son jour se situe après la période où les plantations ne craignent plus rien et entre Boris et Denise. Quelle est sa date d'anniversaire ?
Le 14 mai.
I'm planning a big outdoor picnic for my best friend's birthday. Her special day falls after the time when crops are no longer at risk, and between Boris and Denise. When is her birthday?
May 14th. The reasoning has two parts : The first step is to understand what "when crops are no longer at risk" refers to. This points to the Ice Saints, which fall on May 11th, 12th, and 13th. A traditional period after which frost is no longer a concern for planting. The second step is to identify the dates associated with the names Boris and Denise. Their name days are May 2nd and May 15th, respectively. The final step is to deduce the exact date: if her birthday is after May 13th (end of the Ice Saints) and before May 15th (Denise), the only possible date is May 14th.

Je cherche un hymne. Il a été créé par un homme qui a fondé puis dirigé une association. Cet homme est né puis mort dans une ville des Bouches-du-Rhône dont le blason contient l'écriture "JHS". Quel est cet hymne ?
La Coupo Santo
I am looking for a hymn. It was created by a man who founded and then led an association. This man was born and died in a town in the Bouches-du-Rhône whose coat of arms bears the inscription "JHS". What is this hymn?
The monogram "JHS" appears on the coat of arms of Maillane in the Bouches-du-Rhône. Frédéric Mistral was born and died in Maillane, and co-founded the Félibrige association to preserve Provençal culture and language. Mistral wrote the words of the Provençal anthem known as "La Coupo Santo", which serves as the hymn of the Félibrige and of Provence.

Je pars 3 jours, de la saint Henri à la saint Donald pour travailler au calme car j'ai un gros projet à rendre, je veux travailler même durant la nuit et pour être sûre de pouvoir avancer, je pars de chez moi pour éviter les distractions. J'ai loué un appartement dans le 7ème arrondissement de Paris dans une rue au nom d'un ancien président qui l'a été pendant 12 ans, tu confirmes que c'est le meilleur plan pour pouvoir avancer mon projet ?
Non.
I'm leaving for 3 days, from Saint Henri to Saint Donald, to work in peace because I have a big project to deliver. I want to work even at night, and to ensure I can make progress, I’m leaving home to avoid distractions. I rented an apartment in the 7th arrondissement of Paris on a street named after a former president who served for 12 years. Can you confirm this is the best plan to advance my project?
No, it is not the best plan, because Saint Henri to Saint Donald, it is from July 13th to July 15th, and on July 14th there is the National Day in France, where French people celebrate this day with a huge fireworks display and music at night, and processions. Moreover, the street where I will reside (quai Jacques Chirac) is just very close to the Eiffel Tower, where the fireworks will be displayed, and it won't be calm to work.

En 2026, j'aimerais participer à la fête de la Saint-Vincent tournante. J'ai aussi une grande famille et je voudrais vérifier qu'aucun prénom de ma famille n'est fêté le premier jour de cette fête d'après le calendrier des saints bretons. Quel est le prénom fêté d'après ce calendrier ?
Kadeg
In 2026, I would like to participate in the Saint-Vincent Tournante festival. I also have a large family and I would like to check that none of my family members' first names are celebrated on the first day of this festival according to the Breton saints' calendar. What is the first name celebrated according to this calendar?
The Saint-Vincent Tournante festival traditionally takes place on the last weekend of January. In 2026, the last weekend of January is Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th. The first day of the festival is therefore January 24th, 2026. Consulting Breton saint calendars indicates that Saint Cadoc (Sant Kadeg or Cado in Breton) is the saint primarily celebrated on January 24th in Breton tradition. The saint celebrated on January 24th (the first day of the Saint-Vincent Tournante in 2026) is Saint Cadoc (also known as Saint Kadeg or Cado).

在中国境内有个民族。 他们信仰伊斯兰教。 他们忌讳碰到挑着空水桶的人。 他们是哪个民族?
保安族
In China, there is an ethnic group. They believe in Islam. They consider it taboo to encounter someone carrying empty water buckets. Which ethnic group is this?
English Reasoning: The question identifies a Chinese ethnic group that practices Islam and has a taboo against encountering people carrying empty water buckets. Among China’s Muslim ethnic groups (e.g., Hui, Uyghur, Kazakh, Dongxiang, Salar, Tajik, Bonan), the Bonan (保安族) are known for specific cultural taboos related to water. Historically, water scarcity in their region (Gansu) led to customs where empty water buckets symbolized bad luck or drought. This aligns with the described taboo. English Final Answer: Bonan (Bao'an) ethnic group

Mi esposo y yo nos conocimos el día del santo patrono de la ciudad de Duaca y luego, al siguiente año, nos casamos en San Felipe, el día de su santa patrona. ¿Cuántos meses pasaron desde que nos conocimos hasta que nos casamos?
17 meses
My husband and I met on the patron saint day of the city of Duaca (a city in Lara, Venezuela) and then, the following year, we got married in San Felipe (a city in Yaracuy, Venezuela) on the day of their patron saint. How many months passed from when we met until we got married?
English Reasoning: The patron saint of Duaca is Saint John the Baptist (in Spanish, San Juan Bautista), whose feast day is on June 24. The patron virgin of San Felipe is Our Lady of the Presentation (Nuestra Señora de la Presentación), celebrated on November 21. They met on June 24 and married the following year on November 21. From June of one year to November of the next spans 12 months + 5 additional months = 17 months. English Final Answer: 17 months (in Spanish, "17 meses").

Les plaques d'immatriculation Françaises vont de AA001AA à ZZ999ZZ. Il n'y a jamais de numéro 000. Moi et mon meilleur ami avons acheté une voiture le même jour, dans la même concession Renault. J'ai déjà reçu mon certificat d'immatriculation, le vendeur n'a pas voulu me le communiquer mais il m'a donné des indices : La première lettre est la première lettre du département qui porte le numéro 24. La seconde lettre est la troisième lettre du pays dont le fête nationale est le 14 juillet. Les chiffres sont trois fois les mêmes : c'est le numéro de l'autoroute que l'on appelle aussi la Languedocienne. Les deux dernières lettres sont toutes les deux le surnom du marathonien français Benoît Zwierzchiewski. Le vendeur nous a dit que le certificat de mon ami aura le numéro qui précède le mien, ou celui qui lui succède directement. Quels sont les deux possibilités de numéro d'immatriculation de mon ami ?
DA998ZZ et DB001AA
French license plates range from AA001AA to ZZ999ZZ. There's never a 000 number. My best friend and I bought a car on the same day, from the same Renault dealership. I've already received my registration certificate, but the seller didn't want to tell me directly. Instead, he gave me clues: The first letter is the first letter of the department numbered 24, The second letter is the third letter of the country whose national holiday is July 14, The numbers are the same three digits repeated: it's the number of the highway, also called "la Languedocienne", The last two letters are both the nickname of French marathoner Benoit Zwierzchiewski. The seller told us that my friend's certificate will have the number that either directly precedes or follows mine. What are the two possible license plate numbers for my friend?
DA998ZZ or DB001AA. First, let's determine my license plate : The department with number 24 is "Dordogne". The first letter is D The country whose national holiday is July 14th is France. The third letter of France is A. The Second letter is A The "Languedocienne" is a highway, whose number is A9. So the three numbers are 999 Benoit Zwierzchiewski's nickname is Z, so the last two letters are ZZ. So, my license plate is DA999ZZ The preceding plate is DA998ZZ (we just decrement the central number). The succeeding plate is DB001AA, because we increase DA to DB, 999 increases to 001 (there is no 000) and ZZ becomes AA.

Prompt Translation to English: The Dragon Boat Festival of 2025 is just around the corner, and I can’t wait! Soon, mugwort will be hung by the door, and I like its scent. I’m more fond of the Big Dragon Boat Festival, which is called "Da Duanwu" in Chinese, when I can watch dragon boat races and eat savory Zongzi (a traditional Chinese rice dish made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo leaves), both sweet and salty flavors are delicious! This year, my grandaunt invited us to celebrate the End/Last Dragon Boat Festival, which is called Mo Duanyang in local dialect, at her place. She said we’ll be making flatcakes from the season’s fresh wheat. I’m thrilled! So, on which day in the Gregorian calendar should we go to her house for the celebration?
English Reasoning 1. In Chinese, the terms Duanwu and Duanyang are interchangeable, both referring to the Dragon Boat Festival. The term Mo Duanyang, or “End Duanyang,” refers to a traditional extension of the festival celebrated in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, e.g., Hubei Province. Rather than having only one day, these regions observe the Dragon Boat Festival as a three-part celebration throughout the fifth lunar month: - Tou Duanwu or “First/Begin Dragon Boat Festival”: Lunar May 5, focused on ancestral worship and honoring Qu Yuan. - Da Duanwu or “Big/Great Dragon Boat Festival”: Lunar May 15, known for public events like dragon boat races. - Mo Duanyang or “Last/End Dragon Boat Festival”: Lunar May 25, a time to celebrate the wheat harvest with foods like flatcakes made from the season’s new grain. 2. The prompt says we’re going to celebrate Mo Duanyang, the “Last Dragon Boat Festival.” From the note above, we know this corresponds to the 25th day of the 5th lunar month. According to the Chinese lunar calendar for 2025, the 5th lunar month begins on May 31 in the Gregorian calendar. Lunar May 25 falls on June 20. English Final Answer: June 20, 2025

Among the French decorations (excluding orders) received by the French ace of the Second World War with the most victories, which one has a ribbon with diagonal stripes?
First, identify the French ace of WWII with the most victories: Pierre Clostermann. Then, list his French decorations, excluding orders (like the Légion d'honneur or Ordre de la Libération). These include the Croix de Guerre 1939-1945, Médaille de la Résistance, Isigne des blessés militaires, Médaille de l'Aéronautique, Médaille commémorative des services volontaires dans la France libre, etc. Finally, examine the ribbons of these decorations. The Médaille commémorative des services volontaires dans la France libre (Commemorative medal for voluntary service in Free France) has a dark blue ribbon with diagonal red stripes. The French decoration with diagonal stripes received by Pierre Clostermann is the Médaille commémorative des services volontaires dans la France libre.

洛阳
Prompt Translation to English: There is a city in China where many dynasties in history chose to establish their capital, either there or in another very close city that is also historically ancient. Many people refer to them as a "tale of two cities". Many historical events took place in this city. Additionally, the area has many delicacies, the most famous of which are soup dishes; locals enjoy Paomo (bread soaked in soup) or Shaobing (baked flatbread). Besides this, the city holds a flower fair/festival every spring, attracting tourists from all over the country. What is the name of this city?
English Reasoning: The prompt describes a historically significant Chinese city, often paired with a nearby ancient capital ("tale of two cities"). Key clues include: 1) Being a frequent ancient capital choice alongside a neighbor (suggesting Xi'an/Chang'an and Luoyang). 2) Famous for soup dishes, specifically mentioning locals enjoying Paomo or Shaobing with them. While Xi'an is most famous for Yangrou Paomo, Luoyang also has a strong soup culture (e.g., the "Water Banquet" - 水席) and Shaobing is commonly eaten with soups there too. 3) Hosting a major flower fair (花会) in spring that attracts national tourists. This strongly points to Luoyang, which is world-famous for its annual Peony Festival (洛阳牡丹文化节) held in spring. Considering the combination of ancient capital status paired with Xi'an, a strong soup tradition, and especially the renowned spring flower festival, Luoyang fits all the criteria very well. English Final Answer: Luoyang

Julio, Andrés, María José y Pedro son familiares. – A Andrés, María José le dice "pebete". – Pedro le dice "nona" a María José. – Pedro le dice "mi pibe" a Andrés. – Julio le dice "mi noerma" a Pedro. ¿Cuáles son los parentescos con Andrés de las otras tres personas?
María José es su bisabuela, Pedro su padre y Julio su tío.
Julio, Andrés, María José and Pedro are relatives. – María José calls Andrés "pebete" (little child). – Pedro calls María José "nona" (granny). – Pedro calls Andrés "mi pibe" (my child). – Julio calls Pedro "mi noerma" (my bro). How are the other tree people related to Andrés?
English Reasoning: – “Nona” is slang for grandmother, so Pedro calls María José his grandmother. – “Mi pibe” means “my kid”, so Pedro uses it for Andrés, making Pedro Andrés’s father. – “Mi noerma” is a playful mix-up of “mi hermano” (“my brother”), so Julio is Pedro’s brother, hence Andrés’s uncle. – Because María José is grandmother to Andrés’s father, she is Andrés’s great-grandmother. English Final Answer: María José is his great-grandmother, Pedro his father and Julio his uncle.

某个周末,家里举办家庭聚会,有这么一段有趣的对话: A: “哎呀B,今年也二十好几了吧?有没有对象呀?要不要我介绍呀?” B: “...这个,还早啦,工作刚稳定。” C: “别吓人家孩子,哪有人像你一样,刚见面就问这些问题,管不住自己的嘴的。” A: “我就关心下嘛..." D: “她还年轻,不着急。您儿子呢?好久没见了,快三十了对吧?” A: ”唉,别提他了!” 请根据对话内容,推测A至D分别是谁:我、伯伯、伯母、妈妈。
A:伯母 B:我 C:伯伯 D:妈妈
One weekend the family held a gathering at home, and this interesting conversation took place: A: “Hey B, you’re already in your mid-twenties, right? Do you have a partner? Want me to set you up?” B: “…well, it’s still early, my work has only just stabilized.” C: “Don’t scare the kid—who asks these questions right after meeting someone? You really can’t hold your tongue.” A: “I’m just concerned…” D: “She’s still young, no rush. What about your son? Haven’t seen him in a while ("好久没见了")—he’s almost thirty, right?” A: “Sigh, don’t mention him!” Based on the dialogue, infer who A to D are respectively: Me, Uncle ("伯伯"), Aunt ("伯母"), Mother.
English Reasoning: A is inquisitive about B's age and relationship status, offers to make an introduction, and reacts sensitively when asked about her own son who is almost thirty. This behavior is very typical of a "伯母" (Paternal Aunt). B is the person being questioned about personal matters and gives a polite, deflecting answer. This role naturally fits "我" (Me/I), the narrator or central young person in this family context. C rebukes A sharply ("Don't scare the kid... can't control your mouth"). This direct criticism suggests a close relationship with A, such as a spouse. If A is "伯母" (Paternal Aunt, i.e., wife of father's elder brother), then C being "伯伯" (Paternal Uncle, A's husband) makes sense. He would be trying to manage his wife's forwardness towards B (his niece/nephew, referred to as "人家孩子" - the kid). D defends B ("She's still young, no rush") and then cleverly changes the subject by asking A about A's son, mentioning "好久没见了" (haven't seen him in a long time). If A is "伯母", and B is "我", then D being "妈妈" (Mother) fits perfectly. D (Mother) would defend her child (B/Me) and ask A (her sister-in-law, the 伯母) about A's son (D's nephew), whom she (D) might not have seen for a while. A's reaction ("Sigh, don't mention him!") confirms the son is a sensitive topic for A. Therefore, the assignments are: A: 伯母 (Paternal Aunt) - The nosy relative. B: 我 (Me) - The one being questioned. C: 伯伯 (Paternal Uncle) - Likely A's husband, who scolds A for being too direct. D: 妈妈 (Mother) - Defends B and redirects the conversation to A's sensitive topic (A's son). This combination creates a very coherent and typical family interaction dynamic. English Final Answer: A: 伯母 (Aunt) B: 我 (Me) C: 伯伯 (Uncle) D: 妈妈 (Mother)

Mon premier se situe phonétiquement en onzième position dans l'alphabet tandis que mon second demeure plus grand et profond qu'un étang. Mon tout est un palindrome, une commune bretonne. Que suis-je ?
« Callac ».
My first is phonetically in the eleventh position in the alphabet while my second remains larger and deeper than a pond. My whole is a palindrome, a Breton commune. What am I?
"Callac" → This small Breton municipality is a palindrome: it can be read both ways. This name is formed in French by the elements from the charade: "K" - "lac" → "K" (11th letter of the alphabet and pronounced "Ca" in French) and "lac" (lake → larger and deeper than a pond).

Palsambleu
My first is the opposite of tanned, my second is royal or of mud, my third is cerulean, my whole is often repeated by Harlequin.
Palsambleu (an archaic French exclamation ("by God's blood"), often used theatrically by characters like Harlequin. The first part of the riddle ("opposite of tanned") translates to 'pâle' (pale). The second part hints at 'sang' (blood, royal blood, or mudblood). The third part ('cerulean') translates to 'bleu' (blue), which gives 'pâle-sang-bleu' or 'palsambleu'.

On the eve of the college entrance examination, the school held a send-off ceremony. Several people with different identities gave you their blessings: A: "Three years of hard work, today's the day you show your mettle. Regardless of the outcome, you are all our pride." B: "Child, the exam is just a fleeting moment in the long river of life; success or failure, honor or disgrace are not the final verdict. The road ahead is still long, be brave and chase the distant light." C: "Don't be nervous, relax, just treat it as an ordinary exam. Remember not to forget your admission ticket and stationery, otherwise, you'll have to go back and get them. Waiting for your triumphant return!" D: "We are the hardest-working batch in the whole grade, I won't say much philosophical stuff, let's cheer together!" E: "I still remember when you failed your first exam and secretly wiped away tears. Now you are stronger than anyone, you can do it!" Based on the blessings above, identify who A to E are respectively: Parents, Best Friend, Teacher, Classmate, Principal.
English Reasoning: A uses formal, collective encouragement and emphasizes institutional pride (“our pride”), which is characteristic of a principal addressing students at a ceremonial event. The tone is authoritative yet uplifting, fitting the role of the principal (校长). B offers philosophical reflections about the meaning of exams in the broader journey of life. The elevated language and nurturing tone align with how a teacher would guide students beyond just academic results. This perspective fits a teacher (老师). C gives practical reminders about not forgetting essential items and reassures in a gentle, familiar way. The concern for small details and emotional warmth suggest someone who knows the student intimately, making this a parent (父母). D speaks casually with shared experience, using inclusive language like “we” and avoiding formal advice. This tone of motivational support points to a classmate (同学). E references a personal and emotional memory from the past, indicating a long-standing and intimate friendship. The message is heartfelt and affirming, which is typical of a close friend (闺蜜). Final Answer: A: Principal (校长) B: Teacher (老师) C: Parent (父母) D: Classmate (同学) E: Close friend (闺蜜)

Let's break it down: Here, the “opposite" of ‘LA’” is taken as its reversal, giving “AL.” A liquid that has been ingested or drunk is rendered by the French past participle. 4the English word for 'hommes' simply “men.” (the bot should have understood that the output is in French, the user meant the English word for 'hommes') Joining AL + BU + MEN spells ALBUMEN, the egg white hens produce.

《望庐山瀑布》中李白写的“飞流直下三千尺”,比实际的三叠泉瀑布落差(约209米)夸张了几倍?
约3.4倍
In Li Bai's “Gazing at Mount Lu Waterfall”, the line "A flying stream plummets straight down three thousand chi." By how many times is this exaggerated compared to the actual height of Sandiequan Waterfall( approximately 209 meters)?
English reasoning: First conver "three thousand chi" 三千尺 to meters. In Tang Dynasty, 1 chi ≈ 0.307 meters. So 3000 chi ≈ 3000 x 0.307 = 921 meters. The exaggeration factor is calculated as (921 - 209) /209 ≈ 3.4 times. English Final Answer: approximately 3.4 times.

Mon fils Jules est né le 27 décembre 2023, cent ans après la mort d'un grand homme. Sachant qu je suis né, moi, cent cinquante ans jour pour jour après la naissance du même homme, quel âge avais-je à la naissance de mon fils ?
41 ans.
My son Jules was born on December 27, 2023, one hundred years after the death of a great man. Knowing that I myself was born exactly one hundred and fifty years to the day after the birth of that same man, how old was I at the birth of my son?
41 years old. We need to find which great man died on December 27, 1923 (a centenary before the son's birth), and we can quickly find that Gustave Eiffel died on that date. As he lived a long life, he was born far earlier, on December 15, 1832, which allows for the father to be born 150 days after, to the date, on December 15, 1982. Therefore, 2023-1982 yields 41. The father had indeed just turned 41 when his son was born.

J'ai une cuve de fioul de 300 litres remplie à un tiers. Je n'aurais pas besoin de fioul avant le 15 octobre 2025 et j'ai une consommation par jour de 4 litres. Combien de litres, au minimum, dois-je commander pour en avoir assez pour tenir jusqu'au premier jour inclus de la fête des lumières 2025 de Lyon ?

I have a 300-liter oil fuel tank filled to one-third. I won't need fuel until October 15, 2025, and I have a daily consumption of 4 liters. How many liters, at minimum, should I order to have enough to last until the first day inclusive of the 2025 Festival of Lights in Lyon?
1. Determine the start and end dates of consumption: from October 15, 2025, through December 5, 2025 (the first day of the festival). The Festival of Lights lasts 4 days, around the December 8 and by the end of the week. When the December 8th is a Monday, the festival is hold from Friday to Monday like in 2013. 2. Count the days: • October 15–31: 31 - 15 + 1 = 17 days • November 1–30: 30 days • December 1–5: 5 days Total = 17 + 30 + 5 = 52 days 3. Calculate total fuel needed: 52 days × 4 L/day = 208 L 4. Subtract current stock: one-third of 300 L = 100 L 5. Minimum to order: 208 L - 100 L = 108 L

En una comunidad rural de Boyacá, Colombia, se organiza una jornada de recolección de leche. La meta es entregar un total de 90 cuartillos. El primer productor aporta 32,5 cuartillos y un cuarto de litro. El segundo productor aporta 29,5 cuartillos y un cuarto de litro. El tercer productor aún no ha entregado su parte. ¿Cuántos litros de leche debe entregar el tercer productor?
13.5
In a rural community in Boyacá, Colombia, a milk collection day is organized. The goal is to deliver a total of 90 "cuartillos" (Colombian measure). The first producer contributes 32.5 "cuartillos" (Colombian measure) and a quarter of a liter. The second producer contributes 29.5 "cuartillos" (Colombian measure) and a quarter of a liter. The third producer has not yet delivered their share. How many liters of milk must the third producer deliver? In English, there is no direct translation for the word "cuartillo," which is 0.504 liters but is normally rounded to 0.5 liters.
English Reasoning: The equivalence of 1 cuartillo = 0.5 liters is used. Precisely, a cuartillo is 0.504 liters, but over time it became standardized and is widely used as 1/2 liter in some rural areas of Colombia. First producer: 32.5 cuartillos × 0.5 liters = 16.25 liters A quarter of a liter = 0.25 liters Total from the first producer: 16.25 + 0.25 = 16.5 liters Second producer: 29.5 cuartillos × 0.5 liters = 14.75 liters A quarter of a liter = 0.25 liters Total from the second producer: 14.75 + 0.25 = 15 liters The sum of both contributions is 16.5 + 15 = 31.5 liters. The total goal is 45 liters (90 cuartillos × 0.5 liters). To reach the goal, the third producer must deliver: 45–31.5 = 13.5 liters. English Final Answer: 13.5

Mi abuelo, cuando era joven, vivía en México, me contó que le construyó una casa a mi abuela en un terreno con las siguientes medidas: 7.5 varas de ancho por 10 varas de largo. Y me contó que cada metro cuadrado de terreno le costó 10 Muera Huerta. ¿Cuántos pesos pagó mi abuelo por todo el terreno?
526.68 pesos mexicanos.
My grandfather, when he was young, lived in Mexico. He told me that he built a house for my grandmother on a piece of land with the following measurements: 7.5 "varas" (traditional Mexican measure) long. And he told me that each square meter of land cost him 10 Muera Huerta (old Mexican currency). How many pesos (Mexican currency) did my grandfather pay for the entire land?
English Reasoning: The problem requires calculating the total cost of a piece of land in "pesos" (Mexican currency). The dimensions are given in "varas" (traditional Mexican measure) and the cost per square meter is in "Muera Huerta" (old Mexican currency). 1. Convert "varas" to meters: A "vara" is an old Spanish unit of length. The Mexican vara is approximately 0.838 meters. • Width of the land = 7.5 varas • Length of the land = 10 varas • Width in meters = 7.5 varas x 0.838 meters/vara = 6.285 meters • Length in meters = 10 varas x 0.838 meters/vara = 8.38 meters 2. Calculate the area of the land in square meters: • Area = Width in meters x Length in meters • 6.285 m x 8.38 m = 52.668 square meters 3. Calculate the total cost of the land: The cost is given as 10 Muera Huerta per square meter. • Total cost = Area in square meters x Cost per square meter • Total cost = 52.668 m² x 10 Muera Huerta/m² = 526.68 Muera Huerta 4. Convert "Muera Huerta" to "Pesos": The term "Muera Huerta" (which translates to "Death to Huerta") was a political slogan related to Mexican President Victoriano Huerta (1913-1914) and is not an official currency name. Since the problem asks for the final answer in pesos and provides the cost in "Muera Huerta" without a specific conversion rate, the most direct interpretation is to assume that "Muera Huerta" is used in the story to refer to a unit of currency equivalent to a peso for the purpose of this calculation (i.e., 1 Muera Huerta = 1 Mexican peso). • Therefore, Total cost = 526.68 Mexican pesos. English Final Answer: 526.68 Mexican pesos.

La semana pasada mi abuelito falleció, mi mamá está demasiado triste y me pidió el favor de que la ayudara a recoger sus cosas, para regalar algunas y para repartir entre sus 3 hijos. Entre sus cosas encontré un frasco con monedas de diferentes épocas. En el frasco encontré las siguientes monedas: 32 puyas, 60 lochas, 72 medios, 36 reales, 15 bolívares y 18 fuertes. ¿Cuánto dinero representa eso?
150 Bs con 10 céntimos
Last week, my grandfather passed away, my mom is too sad and asked me to help her collect his things, to give away some, and to distribute them among his 3 children. Among his things, I found a jar with coins from different eras. In the jar, I found the following coins: 32 puyas (1.6 Bs), 60 lochas (7.5 Bs), 72 medios (18 Bs), 36 reales (18 Bs), 15 bolívares, and 18 fuertes (90 Bs). How much money does that represent?
English Reasoning: Convert each coin type to bolívares using historical Venezuelan currency relationships: 1 fuerte = 5 Bs, 1 bolívar = 1 Bs, 1 real = 0.5 Bs, 1 medio = 0.25 Bs, 1 locha = 0.125 Bs, 1 puya = 0.05 Bs. First, the totals are calculated by currency type: * 32 puyas = 32 × 0.05 = 1.6 Bs * 60 lochas = 60 × 0.125 = 7.5 Bs * 72 medios = 72 × 0.25 = 18 Bs * 36 reales = 36 × 0.5 = 18 Bs * 15 bolívares = 15 Bs * 18 fuertes = 18 × 5 = 90 Bs Now sum the totals of each coin: 1.6 + 7.5 + 18 + 18 + 15 + 90 = 150.10 Bs. English Final Answer: 150.10 bolívares.

Quiero volver a ir de vacaciones a Mérida. El año pasado (2024), justo me tocó la Feria de Xmatkuil. Pude ver a varios artistas tanto en le Feria del Pueblo como en el Palenque. Lo malo es que no recuerdo cuántos días me quedé allá. Si llegué dos días antes de que empezara, y me fui 3 días antes de que terminara. ¿Cuántos días me quedé en Mérida?
22 días.
I want to go back on vacation to Mérida. Last year (2024), I was lucky enough to catch the Xmatkuil Fair. I was able to see several artists both at the "Feria del Pueblo" (People's Fair) and at the Palenque (Night performance arena). The problem is that I don't remember how many days I stayed there. If I arrived two days before it started, and left 3 days before it ended. How many days did I stay in Mérida?
English Reasoning: To determine the number of days stayed in Merida, we need the following information: The start and end dates of the 2024 Xmatkuil Fair. The person's arrival date relative to the fair's start. The person's departure date relative to the fair's end. Step 1: Determine the dates of the Feria de Xmatkuil 2024. A search reveals that the Feria Xmatkuil 2024 took place from November 8, 2024, to December 1, 2024. Step 2: Determine the arrival date. The person arrived 2 days before the fair started. Arrival date = November 8 - 2 days = November 6, 2024. Step 3: Determine the departure date. The person left 3 days before the fair ended. Departure date = December 1 - 3 days = November 28, 2024. Step 4: Calculate the total number of days stayed. The stay was from the arrival date (November 6, 2024) to the departure date (November 28, 2024). Number of days stayed = (Departure Date - Arrival Date) Since both dates are in November: (28 - 6) =22 days. English Final Answer: The person stayed in Merida for 22 days.

There are three northern Chinese couples discussing their wedding anniversaries. The three couples have been married for different lengths of time. Please determine the wedding anniversary date (Year, Month, Day) for each couple based on the clues below: - It is currently December 2024. - Couple 1 gave each other leather gifts (leather wedding, which indicates the 3rd anniversary in the Chinese region) on their wedding anniversary this year. - Couple 2 has been married eight more winters and summers (8 years) than Couple 1. - Couple 3 is one year away from their diamond anniversary (60th) on this year's Singles' Day (November 11). - Couple 1 celebrated their wedding anniversary on May 1st (Labor Day) this year. - 5 years ago, Couple 2 had their child on Couple 1's wedding anniversary day. The child's 'small full moon' (小满月 - the 12th day after birth) was exactly on Couple 2's wedding anniversary that year. - The day a newborn is born counts as the first day.
English Reasoning: 1. Current Date: December 2024. 2. Couple 1 Anniversary Date & Length: Clue 4 states Couple 1's anniversary is on May 1st (Labor Day). Clue 1 states they gave leather gifts this year (2024), which traditionally marks the 3rd anniversary. Therefore, Couple 1 celebrated their 3rd anniversary on May 1st, 2024. Their wedding date is May 1st, 2021 (2024 - 3 years). 3. Couple 2 Marriage Length: Clue 2 states Couple 2 has been married 8 years longer ("eight winters and summers") than Couple 1. So, Couple 2 has been married for 3 + 8 = 11 years as of their 2024 anniversary. 4. Couple 2 Anniversary Date & Wedding Year: Clue 5 states that 5 years ago (in 2019), Couple 2's child was born on Couple 1's anniversary (May 1st). So, the child was born on May 1st, 2019. The clue also states the child's 'small full moon' (小满月), which is the 12th day after birth (counting the birth day as day 1), was on Couple 2's anniversary that year. Day 1 is May 1st, so Day 12 is May 12th. Thus, Couple 2's anniversary is May 12th. Since they celebrated their 11th anniversary in 2024, their wedding date is May 12th, 2013 (2024 - 11 years). 5. Couple 3 Anniversary Date & Wedding Year: Clue 3 states that this year (2024), on Double Eleven (November 11th), Couple 3 was one year ("one spring and autumn") away from their diamond wedding anniversary (60th). This means they celebrated their 59th anniversary on November 11th, 2024. Therefore, their wedding date is November 11th, 1965 (2024 - 59 years). English Final Answer: - Couple 1: May 1st, 2021 - Couple 2: May 12th, 2013 - Couple 3: November 11th, 1965

Mi mamá me contó que hace mucho tiempo mi abuela venezolana vendía helados, besitos de coco y ponquecitos. Todos los días preparaba para la venta 30 helados, 25 besitos de coco y 20 ponquecitos y los vendía todos. Los precios por cada uno eran: • Helado: 1 churupo c/u • Besitos de coco: 1 locha c/u • Ponquecitos: 1 medio c/u ¿Cuántos bolívares obtenía mi abuela con esas ventas?
9.625 bolívares
My mother told me that a long time ago, my Venezuelan grandmother used to sell ice cream, coconut kisses, and cupcakes. Every day she prepared for sale 30 ice creams, 25 coconut kisses, and 20 cupcakes and sold them all. The prices for each were: • Ice cream: 1 "churupo" (old Venezuelan coins) each. • Coconut kisses: 1 "locha" (old Venezuelan coins) each. • Cupcakes: 1 "medio" (old Venezuelan coins) each. How many "bolívares" (Venezuelan currency) did my grandmother earn with these sales?
English Reasoning: To calculate how many "bolívares" (Venezuelan currency) she obtained, we first need to know the equivalences of those old Venezuelan coins to the bolívar: • 1 "churupo" (old Venezuelan coins) = 5 bolívar cents (Bs. 0.05) • 1 "locha" (old Venezuelan coins) = 12.5 bolívar cents (Bs. 0.125) • 1 "medio" (old Venezuelan coins) = 25 bolívar cents (Bs. 0.25) Now let's calculate the income for each product: • Ice cream: Quantity: 30 Unit price: 1 churupo = Bs. 0.05 Income from ice cream: 30 x Bs. 0.05 = Bs. 1.50 • Coconut kisses: Quantity: 25 Unit price: 1 locha = Bs. 0.125 Income from coconut kisses: 25 x Bs.0.125 = Bs. 3.125 • Cupcakes: Quantity: 20 Unit price: 1 half = Bs. 0.25 Income per cupcake: 20 x Bs. 0.25 = Bs. 5.00 Finally, we add up the income from all products: Total bolívares = Income from ice cream + Income from coconut kisses + Income from cupcakes. Total = Bs. 1.50 + Bs. 3.125 + Bs. 5.00 = Bs. 9.625 Your grandmother earned 9.625 bolívares with these daily sales. English Final Answer: Bs. 9.625 (in Spanish, "9.625 bolívares").

Cuando mi abuelo era joven tenía muchos animales y vivía en Duaca, Venezuela. Pero su madre enfermó y tuvo que vender algunos de los animales que tenía para ayudar con el tratamiento. • Tenía 2 cerdos y los vendió a 10 reales cada uno. • Tenía 3 chivos y dos de ellos los vendió a 8 reales y 1 locha y el tercero lo pudo vender a 9 reales y 1 medio. • El que más le costó vender fue a un ovejo, que lo terminó vendiendo a 5 reales, 1 medio y 1 locha. ¿Cuántos bolívares recaudó mi abuelo con la venta de los animales?
25.875 bolívares.
When my grandfather was young, he had many animals and lived in Duaca, Venezuela. But his mother got sick, and he had to sell dome of the animals he had to help with the treatment. • He had 2 pigs and sold them for 10 "reales" (old Venezuelan currency) each. • He had 3 goats and sold two of them for 8 "reales" (old Venezuelan currency) and 1 "locha" (old Venezuelan currency) each, and the third one he sold for 9 "reales" (old Venezuelan currency) and 1 "medio" (old Venezuelan currency). • The hardest to sell was a sheep, which he ended up selling for 5 "reales" (old Venezuelan currency), 1 "medio" (old Venezuelan currency), and 1 "locha" (old Venezuelan currency). How many "bolívares" (Venezuelan currency) did my grandfather raise from the sale of the animals?
English Reasoning: Convert all amounts to bolívares using historical currency units: • 1 real = 0.5 bolívares • 1 medio = 0.25 bolívares • 1 locha = 0.125 bolívares Now, we claculate how many "bolívares" (Bs.) the animals were sold for: • Pigs: 2 x (10 reales x 0.5 Bs./reales) = Bs. 10 • Goats: First two: 2 x [(8 reales x 0.5 Bs./reales) + (1 locha x 0.125 Bs./locha)] = 2 x (4 + 0.125) = Bs. 8.25 Third: (9 reales x 0.5 Bs./reales) + (1 medio x 0.25 Bs./medio) = 4.5 + 0.25 = Bs. 4.75 Total goats: 8.25 + 4.75 = Bs. 13 • Sheep: (5 reales x 0.5 Bs./reales) + (1 medio x 0.25 Bs./medio) + (1 locha x 0.125 Bs./locha) = 2.5 + 0.25 + 0.125 = Bs. 2.875 Adding the money earned by the animals we obtain: • Total: 10 + 13 + 2.875 = Bs. 25.875 English Final Answer: Bs. 25.875

Con mi esposo vamos el otro puente al Parque Tayrona en Colombia. Las indicaciones dicen que saliendo desde donde estamos, debemos recorrer 2800 varas hasta Santa Marta y luego 1400 varas hasta el parque nacional a las afueras. De ahí, a pielillo 1250 varas hasta playa San Juan. Si vamos en una bicicleta eléctrica y la batería de esta solo puede recorrer 1 kilómetro. ¿Cuántas veces debemos cargar la batería hasta llegar al destino?
4 veces
My husband and I are going to Tayrona Park in Colombia next long weekend. The directions say that from where we are, we must travel 2800 "varas" (0.80 meters each) to Santa Marta (a city in Colombia) and then 1400 "varas" to the national park on the outskirts. From there, on foot ("a pielillo"), 1250 "varas" to San Juan beach. If we go on an electric bicycle and its battery can only travel 1 kilometer, how many times must we charge the battery to reach our destination?
English Reasoning: First, you need to calculate the total distance in "varas" that will be traveled by bike. Since the last leg of the journey (1,250 varas) is on foot ("a pielillo" is a colloquial Colombian idiom that means walking), the bike will only be used for the first two legs: 2,800 varas to Santa Marta + 1,400 varas to the national park = 4,200 varas. Now you need to convert varas to kilometers. A vara is a traditional Spanish unit of measurement that varies by region; in Colombia, it is equivalent to 0.8 meters. Therefore, 4,200 varas × 0.8 meters/vara = 3,360 meters = 3.36 kilometers. Since the bike's battery can only travel 1 kilometer per charge, it would need to be charged 3.36 times, which means 4 full charges are required. If it only required three charges, it wouldn't be able to travel the last 0.36 legs. Therefore, you need to approximate the number below. Then, the total number of charges is 4 (four). English Final Answer: 4 times

"être Anglais" sonne comme "étranglé".
Please explain this wordplay to me : being English, it cuts off breathing.
The wordplay relies on the homophony of "être anglais" (being English) and "étrangler" (to strangle), which are pronounced exactly the same in French. The addition of "it cuts of breathing", addS a double sense to the sentence, suggesting that "être anglais" (being english) could cut off breathing, when it is "étrangler" (to strangle) which cuts off breathing.

En la costa, donde el sol arrecha, hay una cosa que para todo sirve, y en la calle la dicen de tanto en tanto. Es entre nativa y natural. Adivina, adivina que cosa será.
Vaina
On the coast where the sun shines, there is one thing that works for everything, and in the street they say it from time to time. It is between native and natural (nativa y natural). Guess, guess what it is. In Spanish, “vaina” is a catch-all word that could be translated as “thing” and is used to name any object or action. “Y” is pronounced exactly the same as ‘i’.
English Reasoning: The term or something commonly applicable in dialogue and used for everything is "vaina" in many coastal Spanish dialects. "Vaina" is a word used to refer to almost anything. For example, "pásame esa vaina" ( pass me that thing, where the "thing" could be a chair, an umbrella, or a book), or "que vaina tan pesada" (what a heavy thing). There is also an extra hint, the expression: It's something both "nativa y natural" (native and natural). In Spanish, the last two letters of the "nativa" word -va- the connector -y- and the first two letters of the natural word -na- form the word "vayna" which sounds like "vaina", so implicitly the answer is in the wordplay. English Final Answer: Thing (In Spanish, "vaina")

讲个笑话吧。为什么狐狸站不起来,而且总是跌倒?
因为狐狸狡猾,狡猾谐音脚滑。
Let's tell a joke. Why can’t the fox stand up and always fall down?
English Reasoning: The joke is setting up a pun or wordplay involving the fox and the reason for it always falling down. The fox is always described as cunning. In Chinese, "cunning" (狡猾, jiǎo huá) sounds similar to "slippery" (脚滑, jiǎo huá). Therefore, the fox cannot stand up and always fall down as it is too "cunning" (狡猾) or "slippery" (脚滑). English Final Answer: Because the fox is always cunning. In Chinese, "cunning" (狡猾, jiǎo huá) sounds similar to "slippery" (脚滑, jiǎo huá). Hence, the fox is slippery, causing it to always fall down.

李白是唐朝的大诗人,写了很多诗。来玩个文字游戏,为什么有人说李白的死因是因为失血过多呢?
因为失血过多谐音诗写过多。
Li Bai was a great poet of the Tang Dynasty who wrote many poems. Let's play a word game: why do some people say that Li Bai’s cause of death was excessive blood loss?
English Reasoning: This is a pun in Mandarin. In Mandarin, the word for "loss"(失, shī) sounds exactly the same as the word for "poem" (诗, shī) while the word for "blood" (血, xuě) sounds similar to the word for "write" (写, xiě). Hence, the phrase for "excessive blood loss" (失血过多", shī xuè guò duō) sounds very similar to the phrase for "excessive poem writing" (诗写过多, shī xiě guò duō). The wordplay lies on the idea that because Li Bai wrote many poems (诗写过多, shī xiě guò duō), it sounds as if he suffered from excessive blood loss (失血过多", shī xuè guò duō). English Final Answer: Because Li Bai wrote too many poems (诗写过多, shī xiě guò duō), which sounds like extensive blood loss (失血过多", shī xuè guò duō) in Mandarin.

"Aquí manda Rina" le dijo José a su hija, mientras observaba a su esposa Rina. Pedro, que tenía hambre, fue hasta donde estaba su padre corriendo. ¿Por qué se acercó Pedro con tanta prisa?
Porque escuchó mandarina.
"Rina is in charge here" (Aquí manda Rina), José said to his daughter while looking at his wife Rina. Pedro, who was hungry, ran to his father. Why did Pedro approach with such haste? Hint: "Mandarina" means tangerine in Spanish.
English Reasoning: José states that "Rina is in charge here". This phrase in Spanish is said as "Aquí manda Rina". "Manda Rina" sounds like "mandarina," which is the Spanish word for tangerine. Also, the word "aquí" means "here" in Spanish. Since Pedro was hungry, he went quickly to where his father was because he thought that "Rina is in charge here" (Aquí manda Rina) meant "Tangerine here" (Aquí Mandarina). English Final Answer: Pedro heard the word tangerine (In Spanish, Mandarina).

Juanito pasó y grito: ¡Ahí viene Meloso!, al escucharlo su hermanito salió corriendo sin mirar atrás. Pero detrás de Juanito, su cuñado salió. ¿Por qué corrió su hermanito?
Porque escuchó "el oso" en lugar de "Meloso" y se asustó.
Juanito passed by and shouted: Here comes Meloso (Me-el oso / El oso). Upon hearing this, his little brother ran out without looking back. But, behind Juanito, his brother-in-law came out. Why did his little brother run? In Spanish, “the bear” is said ‘el oso’.
English reasoning: The Spanish word "Meloso" contains the words "el" and "oso". Then, the sentence "Ahí viene Meloso" (Here comes Meloso) could be understood as "Ahí viene el oso" (Here comes the bear). Juanito's little brother humorously misunderstood the sentence with the nickname of their brother-in-law, and he thought that the bear was coming. English Final Answer: He understood “Here comes the bear” (el oso) instead of “Here comes Meloso”.

Elena no es tu día.

为什么人站在马后面要跑而不能坐着或站着呢?
因为人会马后炮(跑)
Why should people run when standing behind a horse instead of sitting or staying still?

Hence, the answer to this prompt is “人会马后炮(跑)", which means people will run when he was behind a horse. English Final Answer: Because "人会马后跑" (people can run behind a horse) is homophone with "人会马后炮."

Un vendedor le dice a un cliente distraído: "Ven, dame la mano". El cliente se detiene y responde confundido: "Acaso no es usted el vendedor" ¿Qué fue lo que interpreto el cliente del vendedor?
El vendedor quería comprar la mano del cliente "Vendame la mano".
A salesman says to a distracted customer: “Come, give me your hand.” The customer stops and responds in confusion: “Aren't you the salesman?” What did the customer interpret the salesperson to mean? In spoken Spanish, “Ven dame la mano” (come, give me your hand) can be interpreted as “Vendame la mano” (sell me your hand).
English Final Answer: The customer interpreted the salesperson's request "Ven, dame la mano" (come, give me your hand) with a different phonetic meaning, hearing it as "véndame la mano" (sell me your hand), as if the salesperson were asking to purchase the customer's hand as an object. This misunderstanding explains why the customer questioned the salesperson's role, since salespeople typically offer products rather than request items from customers. English Final Answer: The seller wanted to buy the customer's hand (In spanish "Vendame la mano").

公鲨鱼把母鲨鱼迷晕,并拍了张照片。到了警察局,警察问他为什么那么做。你猜公鲨鱼会怎么回答?
我只想帮他拍张婚纱照。
A male shark knocked out a female shark and took a picture. At the police station, the police asked him why he did that. What do you guess the male shark would answer?
English Reasoning: The riddle relies on a pun. The reason that the male shark knocked out a female shark is that he wanted the female shark to faint. So that he can take a picture after that, this is because in Chinese, ”昏鲨照“ (hūn shā zhào) means "faint shark photo" and has a similar pronunciation to "婚纱照" (hūn shā zhào) means the wedding photo. When the police asked him why he did that, the male shark answered: I just wanted to take a wedding photo which is a pun for (faint shark photo) "昏鲨照". English Final Answer: I want to take a photo of him being faint ("昏鲨照," homophone for "婚纱照," wedding photos)

推销员说,只要多买他们家的棉被,就不用怕患病,你猜为什么呢?
因为有“被”(备)无患。
The salesman says that as long as you buy more of their cotton quilts, you won’t have to worry about getting sick. Can you guess why?
English Reasoning: This riddle plays on the Chinese idiom "有备无患" (yǒu bèi wú huàn), meaning "being prepared prevents disaster" where 患 (huàn) refers to illness or trouble. The pun comes from the word for "quilt" (棉被, miánbèi), which contains 被 (bèi), sounding identical to 备 (bèi, "prepare"). The salesman cleverly uses this wordplay as a marketing tactic, humorously suggesting that buying more quilts (被) is the same as being well-prepared (备), thus avoiding illness (患). English Final Answer: Because "having quilts" (被) sounds like "being prepared" (备), playing on the idiom "有备无患" ("preparedness prevents disaster"), implying that quilts can prevent illness.

I have a friend, Canty, who is very secretive about things. I ask her and ask her what her boyfriend's name is and Canty won't (Canty-Nada / Cantina) tell me his name! I looked her up to talk and see if she would tell me, but I didn't succeed. Do you know where to in Spanish, "Canty, ¡nada" sound like "cantina" (pub)
English Reasoning: This is a Spanish wordplay riddle. The friend's name is "Canty". The crucial phrase is "Canty, ¡nada que me dice el nombre!" which means "Canty, she tells me nothing!". However, "Canty, nada" sounds phonetically very similar to "Cantina" (a bar or tavern in Spanish). The riddle uses this sound similarity to ask where they went., English Final Answer: Pub (In Spanish, means Cantina)

Lucia is in (Anda Lucía) the countryside, Lucia is in (anda Lucía) the city, Lucia is in (anda Lucía) the car, and she doesn't know what region she is in. (y no sabe en qué region esta) In Spanish, this words form the name of a place in Spain, "Andalucia".
English Reasoning: This is a wordplay that combines the phonemes between the words "Anda" (walk/goes/is in) and "Lucía" a feminine name. The phonetic repetition of the words sound like "Andalucia" an autonomous region of Spain. The joke is that combining the words "Anda" and "Lucia," the phonetics sound like the Spanish region of "Andalucía" and the girl doesn't know it yet. English Final Response: Andalucia (In Spanish, this words form the name of a place in Spain)

Adivina este acertijo: Todos me quieren para echarse. Posarse tranquilos, sin mirar atrás. Si ya te lo he dicho, no lo busques más.
La silla
Guess this wordplay: Everyone wants me to sit down ("echarme"). To settle calmly, without looking back. If I've already told you ("si ya te lo he dicho"), look no further! Hint: In some areas, the expression “echarse” is used as a synonym for "sentarse" (“sit down”).
English Reasoning: The riddle describes something used for resting or settling down ("echarse" or "sentarse"). The key clue is "si ya te lo he dicho" ("If I've already told you"), which is a common riddle construct pointing to a word hidden within the riddle's text. In Spanish, the words "si ya" sound identical to "silla," which means "chair." A chair fits the description: people use it to sit down/rest ("echarse tranquilos"), and the word is hidden in the riddle. English Final Answer: Chair (In spanish, mean "Silla" or "La silla").

Est-ce que tu comprends ce jeu de mot français ? -Santé ! -Mais pas des pieds !
santé <-> sentez (sentir) mais pas des pieds.
Do you understand this French pun? -Cheers! / To your health (Santé)! -But not from the feet (mais pas des pieds)!
The pun works because the French word "Santé !" is used as a toast, equivalent to "Cheers!" or "To your health!". "Santé" is homophonic to "sentez" (smell), so adding "Mais pas des pieds" (but not from the feet) is a common, humorous thing to respond to "santé" for fun.

Mi sobrino nació el 16 de abril de este año en Venezuela, cuya fecha coincidió con el día del Nazareno de San Pablo. ¿Podrías decirme que edad tendrá mi sobrino la próxima vez que le concuerde su cumpleaños con el día del Nazareno de San Pablo?
62
My nephew was born on April 16 of this year in Venezuela, which coincided with the day of the Nazarene of Saint Paul. Could you tell me how old my nephew will be the next time his birthday coincides with the day of the Nazarene of Saint Paul?
English Reasoning: The day of the Nazarene of Saint Paul in Venezuela is celebrated on Holy Wednesday, which is a movable date as it depends on the date of Easter each year. In 2025, Holy Wednesday fell on April 16. To determine when the next coincidence will happen, I need to check the upcoming years in which Holy Wednesday will fall on April 16. Upon reviewing the list of Holy Wednesday dates for future years, the next occurrence is in 2087, when Holy Wednesday will again fall on April 16. Therefore, your nephew will be 62 years old in 2087 (2087–2025 = 62). English Final Answer: 62 years old.

Could you tell me which is each person's favorite dish? Available information: -José likes the corn dessert. -Luis likes beans. -Ana likes rice with chicken. -Gabriela likes soup.
English Reasoning: Let's match each cousin's preference to the given dishes: -"Majarete" is a corn dessert, so José's favorite is "majarete." -"Palo a pique" is a Venezuelan dish made with beans, so Luis's favorite is "palo a pique." -"Aguadito" is a soup, commonly made with rice and chicken, so Ana's favorite is "aguadito." -"Cruzado" is a term used for a type of soup (often a combination of two proteins, such as chicken and beef), so Gabriela's favorite is "cruzado." English Final Answer: José: "Majarete" (dessert corn) Luis: "Palo a pique" (dish made with red beans) Ana: "Aguadito" (rice and chicken with broth) Gabriela: "Cruzado" (beef and chicken soup)

Cada domingo mi hermano se reúne con sus amigos a festejar. Esta vez he considerado acompañarlos, pero no tengo idea de a qué se reúnen, solamente me ha pasado la siguiente lista con las cosas que llevará cada persona: Nahuel: bombilla y calabaza. Lucas: vacío. Facundo: un refresco negro. Jorge: tres botellas de refresco cortadas a la mitad. Vi la lista y me pareció extraño lo que Jorge lleva, según mi hermano, es para preparar una bebida. ¿De qué bebida se trata?
Fernet
Every Sunday my brother gets together with his friends to celebrate. This time I've considered joining them, but I have no idea what they get together for, he only passed me the following list of things each person will bring: Nahuel: metal straw and calabash gourd. Lucas: flank steak. Facundo: a dark soda. Jorge: three soda bottles cut in half. I saw the list and what Jorge is bringin seemed strange to me, according to my brother, it's to prepare a drink. What drink is it?
English Reasoning: The context suggests a gathering in Argentina or Uruguay. Nahuel brings items for preparing mate (a metal straw and calabash gourd). Lucas brings flank steak, a typical cut of beef for asado (roast). Facundo brings a dark soda and Jorge brings cut plastic soda bottles, very commonly used in these regions as improvised large cups or pitchers to mix and share a specific popular cocktail, especially at informal gatherings like asados (roast/barbeque). This cocktail is made by mixing Fernet with cola. Therefore, the cut bottles Jorge is bringing are likely intended for preparing and serving Fernet with coke. English Final Answer: Fernet ((Typical Argentinean drink)

我记得我在广东过年的时候会去”行花街“,我妈妈在我出生那年就在花市上买了一颗很吉利,大家都会摆在家里的盆栽。这个盆栽成熟时正值春节,盆栽的名字里也包含了时间的字眼。我妈妈也很喜欢这种水果的味道,所以我的名字保留了盆栽名中吉祥的那个字。而我又姓刘,你知道我叫什么吗?
刘桔。
I remember that when I celebrated the New Year in Guangdong, I would go to the "Flower Street". In the year I was born, my mother bought a very auspicious potted plant at the flower market, which everyone likes to display at home. This potted plant matures just in time for the Spring Festival, and its name includes a word related to "time". My mother also likes the taste of this fruit, so my name retains the auspicious character from the plant's name. And my surname is Liu. Do you know what my name is?
English Reasoning: The plant must be a common Lunar New Year decoration with a time-related character in its name. "年桔" (nián jú, New Year kumquat) is a popular choice, as "年" (nián) means "year" (time-related), and the fruit is considered auspicious. The mother liked the fruit’s taste, linking it to "桔" (jú, kumquat). Thus, the name likely combines the surname "Liu" (刘) with "桔" (jú). English Final Answer: 刘桔 (Liu Ju).

Sergio quiere viajar durante las celebraciones de la Virgen de Dzitás y ver la icónica danza Kotz Kal Tso, puesto que sus padres han participado cada año desde hace 20 años y el próximo será su último año. Sin embargo, Sergio solo ha podido atender un día durante las celebraciones y normalmente está ocupado de domingo a miércoles durante todos estos años. ¿Cuántas veces ha podido atender Sergio a ver a sus padres danzar? Considera que hoy es 30 de abril del 2025.

Sergio wants to travel during the celebration of the Virgin of Dsitás and see the iconic Kotz Kal Tso dance, since his parents have participated every year for 20 years and next year will be their last year. However, Sergio has only been able to attend one day during the celebrations and is normally busy from Sunday to Wednesday during all these years. How many times has Sergio been able to attend to see his parents dance? Consider that today is April 30, 2025.
English Reasoning: Sergio's parents have participated for 20 years in the dance, and next year hints at the celebration in 2026. The Virgin of Dzitás is celebrated every year, and the event takes place from January 21st-22nd. Sergio can only attend one day each year, and he is only available if the celebration falls on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Therefore, to calculate the past attendance, we only consider the years from 2006 to 2025. The dates he could have attended from 2006 to 2025 are: 2006 (Saturday, 21st) 2009 (Thursday, 22nd) 2010 (Thursday, 21st, and Friday, 22nd) 2011 (Friday, 21st, and Saturday, 22nd) 2012 (Saturday, 21st) 2015 (Thursday, 22nd) 2016 (Thursday, 21st, and Friday, 22nd) 2017 (Saturday, 21st) 2021 (Thursday, 21st, and Friday, 22nd) 2022 (Friday, 21st, and Saturday, 22nd) 2023 (Saturday, 21st) Since he could only attend once each year, the years with more than one day are only counted once. Therefore, Sergio attended 11 times in the past 20 years. English Final Answer: 11

Mi mamá Julia nació 120 años y 2 semanas después del rendimiento de las últimas tropas leales al presidente López al final de la Guerra de la Triple Alianza. Si yo nací 200 años y 5 días después del Día de la Independencia de la República Argentina, ¿cuánto tiempo de diferencia hay entre nuestros nacimientos?
26 años, 3 meses y 21 días.
My mom Julia was born 120 years and 2 weeks after the surrender of the last troops loyal to President López at the end of the War of the Triple Alliance. If I was born 200 years and 5 days after the Independence Day of the Argentine Republic, how much time difference is there between our births?
English Reasoning: According to official sources, the surrender of the last of López's troops occurred on March 9, 1870, when they found out about his death. Adding 120 years and 2 weeks (14 days) gives Julia's birthdate as March 23, 1990. Argentina's Independence Day is July 9, 1816. Adding 200 years and 5 days gives the user's birthdate as July 14, 2016. The difference between March 23, 1990, and July 14, 2016, is 26 years, 3 months, and 21 days. English Final Answer: 26 years, 3 months, and 21 days (in Spanish, "26 años, 3 meses y 21 días").

Adrian, Andrés, Denisse y Lara estaban jugando a un juego de cartas muy conocido en La Plata. Evitaban decir el nombre del juego porque iba en contra de las reglas y el que lo hacía era penalizado. Andrés, que estaba a la izquierda de Denisse, tiró un once de copas. Luego, ella tiró un cuatro de copas pensando que sería lo correcto, pero la castigaron y tuvo que levantar más cartas. ¿Qué debería haber hecho Denisse?
No tirar su carta.
Adrian, Andrés, Denisse and Lara were playing a very well-known card game in La Plata. They avoided saying the name of the game because it was against the rules, and whoever did was penalized. Andrés, who was to Denisse's left, played an eleven of cups. Then, she played a four of cups thinking it was the correct move, but she was penalized and had to draw more cards. What should Denisse have done?
English Reasoning: The players were playing a card game that is well-known in La Plata (Argentina) with a rule that states that saying the name of the game is to be penalized. Taking that into account, it is safe to assume they were playing the game known as "Jodete" (Screw You in Spanish) because it is the only traditional card game with said rule that is played with a Spanish deck. The game is played from left to right, but one rule states that when a player plays an eleven, the order of play must be reversed. Since Denisse was to the right of Andrés, and he played an eleven, Denisse should not have played her card. English Final Answer: Denisse should not have played her card.

In our Handan area, there's a saying: "In one's Ben Ming Nian (zodiac year of birth), one must wear red to ward off evil spirits and ensure peace and safety." My little nephew is currently in elementary school. Grandma says he belongs to the Snake zodiac sign, and 2025 is the Year of the Snake, which is exactly his Ben Ming Nian. She wants to sew a red bib for him as a New Year gift for good luck. On the other hand, my little niece will experience "Po Tai Sui" (Clash with Tai Sui, specifically 'Destruction Tai Sui') in 2025 and similarly needs to wear red clothes to ward off evil spirits. The year she was born happened to have no 'Lichun' (start of spring). Currently, my little niece has also been in elementary school for a few years. May I ask, how many years older is my little nephew than my little niece?
English Reasoning: Determine the nephew's birth year: The nephew's zodiac sign is Snake. The year 2025 is the Year of the Snake and is his "Ben Ming Nian" (zodiac year of birth). This means he was born in a previous Snake year. The Chinese zodiac cycle is 12 years. Possible Snake years before 2025 are 2013, 2001, 1989, etc. He is currently in elementary school. If we assume "currently" is around 2023/2024: If born in 2013, he would be 10-11 years old (2023/2024 - 2013), which is elementary school age. If born in 2001, he would be 22-23 years old, which is too old for elementary school. Therefore, the nephew was born in 2013. Determine the niece's birth year: In 2025 (Year of the Snake), the niece will experience "Po Tai Sui" (破太岁 - Destruction Tai Sui). In a Snake year, the zodiac sign that experiences "Po Tai Sui" is the Monkey. So, the niece's zodiac sign is Monkey. Possible Monkey years include 2004, 2016, 2028, etc. She is currently in elementary school and has been for a "few years". If born in 2016, she would be 7-8 years old (in 2023/2024), which fits being in elementary school for a few years (e.g., 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade). If born in 2004, she would be 19-20 years old, too old for elementary school. So, the niece was likely born in 2016. The prompt states her birth year had "no Lichun" (start of spring). This refers to a lunar year that does not contain the Lichun solar term. The Chinese New Year 2016 (Year of the Monkey) was on February 8, 2016. The next Chinese New Year (Year of the Rooster) was on January 28, 2017. Lichun in 2016 was on February 4, 2016, which fell before the start of the 2016 lunar (Monkey) year, thus belonging to the previous lunar year (Sheep). Lichun in 2017 was on February 3, 2017, which fell after the start of the 2017 lunar (Rooster) year. Therefore, the lunar Year of the Monkey in 2016 (from February 8, 2016, to January 27, 2017) indeed had no Lichun. This confirms the niece was born in 2016. Calculate the age difference: Nephew's birth year: 2013. Niece's birth year: 2016. The nephew was born earlier, so he is older. The age difference is 2016 - 2013 = 3 years. The question asks "how many years older is my little nephew than my little niece?". English Final Answer: The nephew is 3 years older than the niece.

我最近参加了一个同事的婚礼,新郎新娘都是同一个省的,而且家庭都比较传统。接亲的时候,新娘坐在红布上面,接亲开车出去的时候弯弯绕绕的,我寻思为什么绕了那么多路,他们说得绕开医院和寺庙。婚宴上,我还吃了一道丸子做的菜,还有血肠。这个地方有个不是海的海岸线,很有名。这个同事是什么省的人?

Prompt Translation to English: I recently attended a colleague's wedding. The bride and groom are from the same province, and both families are quite traditional. During the wedding procession, the bride sat on red cloth, and when the procession drove out, they took a winding route. I wondered why they took such a detour, and they said it was to avoid hospitals and temples. At the banquet, I ate a dish made with meatballs and blood sausage. This place is famous for having a "coastline that isn’t a sea." What province is my colleague from? English Reasoning: The clues include avoiding hospitals and temples during the wedding procession (common in traditional Chinese customs), serving meatballs and blood sausage (typical in Northeastern Chinese cuisine, especially in Liaoning), and the mention of a "coastline that isn’t a sea" (likely referring to Liaoning’s coastline along the Bohai Sea, which is a semi-enclosed inland sea rather than an open ocean). These details strongly point to Liaoning Province. English Final Answer: Liaoning Province.

Compared to Shanghai's, the Xiaolongbao here have a lot of soy sauce and white sugar. What are the three famous local products here?
English Reasoning: The description of the Xiaolongbao – sweet, famous distinct from Shanghai's, and using significant amounts of soy sauce and white sugar – strongly points to Wuxi (无锡) style Xiaolongbao. Therefore, the question is asking for the three famous local products of Wuxi. These are traditionally known as the "Three Treasures of Wuxi" (无锡三宝). English Final Answer: The three famous local products of Wuxi (implied by the Xiaolongbao description) are: Huishan Clay Figurines (惠山泥人) Wuxi Soy-Braised Spare Ribs (无锡酱排骨) You Mian Jin / Fried Gluten Balls (油面筋)

Mi padrino quiere que lo ayude a planear la fiesta de cumpleaños de su hijo, pero olvidé la fecha de su cumpleaños. Recuerdo que lo hizo muy feliz que su hijo hubiera nacido en la misma fecha que su artista favorito, el cantor de Carrizal. Si mi padrino quiere que la fiesta se haga el viernes de la semana en la que cae su cumpleaños, ¿en qué fecha exacta se celebraría el cumpleaños del hijo de mi padrino este año, 2025?
30 de mayo de 2025.
My godfather asked me to help him plan his son's birthday party, but I can't remember the exact date of his son's birthday. I do recall, though, that he was thrilled his son was born on the same day as his favorite artist—the singer of Carrizal (el cantor de Carrizal). If he wants to celebrate the party on the Friday of the week his son's birthday falls in, what exact date would the party be held this year, in 2025?
English Reasoning: To find the date of the party, we first need the son's birthday. The prompt states that the son shares a birthday with his father's favorite artist, "El Cantor de Carrizal" (the singer of Carrizal). This is one of the nicknames for the Colombian Vallenato singer Diomedes Díaz. Diomedes Díaz's birthday is May 26th. Therefore, the son's birthday is May 26th. The godfather wants the party on the Friday of the week the birthday falls in, for the year 2025. We need to check a calendar for 2025. May 26th, 2025, falls on a Monday. The Friday of that same week (the week containing Monday, May 26th) is May 30th, 2025. English Final Answer: May 30th, 2025. (In Spanish, 30 de mayo de 2025).

En el 2023, conocí al que ahora es mi novio, nos conocimos en Falcón en el segundo día de las Turas. 3 semanas después, nos hicimos novios y hasta hoy 6 de mayo de 2025 seguimos juntos. ¿Me puedes decir el tiempo exacto que tenemos siendo novios?
1 año, 6 meses y 21 días.
In 2023, I met my current boyfriend. We met in Falcón on the second day of "Las Turas" (traditional syncretic ritual). 3 weeks later, we became a couple, and as of today, May, 6, 2025, we are still together. Can you tell me the exact time we have been dating?
English Reasoning: 1. Determine the start date of the relationship: -The couple met on the second day of "Las Turas" (traditional syncretic ritual) in Falcón in 2023. "Las Turas" is a traditional festival, typically celebrated around September 23rd and 24th. Assuming the second day was September 24, 2023. -They became a couple 3 weeks after this date. 3 weeks = 21 days. -Start date = September 24, 2023 + 21 days = October 15, 2023. 2. Determine the end date: -The prompt specifies "today, May 6, 2025." So, the end date is May 6, 2025. 3. Calculate the duration between the start date (October 15, 2023) and the end date (May 6, 2025): -So, these people became boyfriend and girlfriend on October 15, 2023. From October 15, 2023, to October 15, 2024, we have one year. From October 15, 2024, to April 15, 2025, we have 6 months, and from April 15, 2025, to May 6, 2025, we have 21 days. Therefore, the total duration is 1 year, 6 months, and 21 days. English Final Answer: 1 year, 6 months, and 21 days (in Spanish, "1 año, 6 meses y 21 días").

A: Don't underestimate me, you were attracted to my strong physique back then! D: Mom, he's bragging again, he hasn't changed anything in his entire life. C: Mom, this is truly hereditary. D: What do you know? I call that confidence. Please identify which person (A, B, C, D) corresponds to each role: father-in-law, mother-in-law, son-in-law, wife.
English Reasoning: 1. B asks C, "Is your dad physically up for it?" This implies B is addressing C's father, who is A (since A responds). Thus, A is C's father. 2. A claims B "fell for [his] strong physique," indicating A and B are spouses. Since B is C's parent, A and B are the parents (father-in-law and mother-in-law). 3. D calls B "Mom," so D is B’s child. C also calls B "Mom," meaning C and D are siblings or spouses. However, C’s spouse would logically be the son-in-law. 4. C says, "this is definitely genetic," implying A (father) and D (child) share traits. Since D is B’s child, D is the wife (daughter of A and B), and C, her spouse, is the son-in-law. English Final Answer: A: 岳父 (father-in-law), B: 岳母 (mother-in-law), C: 女婿 (son-in-law), D: 妻子 (wife).

我6月份要出旅行,早早就计划好了要登高,那里不仅有劲松,还有无限风光在险峰!而且还可以看见金阙岩,似银河倒挂呢!猜猜我的目的地所在的城市是什么?
九江
I'm planning a trip this June, and I’ve long made up my mind to climb a mountain. Up there, not only are there steadfast pine trees ("劲松") clinging to the cliffs, but also breathtaking scenery at the most perilous peaks ("无限风光在险峰")! And I can even see Jinque Rock ("今阙岩"), where a waterfall looks like the Milky Way hanging upside down ("银河倒挂") from the sky. Can you guess which city this destination is located in? Note: The Milky Way Falling to the sky refers to the Lushan Waterfalls.
English Reasoning: 1. "Steadfast pine trees" ("劲松") and "breathtaking scenery at the most perilous peaks"("无限风光在险峰")!. - These descriptions allude to a famous line from Chairman Mao Zedong’s poem, "A Poem Inscribed on a Photo of Lushan’s Immortal’s Cave Taken by Comrade Li Jin." “Amid evening mist, one sees the steadfast pine trees," and "breathtaking scenery at the most perilous peaks". These lines vividly depict Lushan Mountain, which describes the infinite beauty of looking at the pines standing proudly on the cliffs of the mountains, the very peaks of which are so perilous that they can be appreciated. 2. In classical Chinese poetry, "Milky Way" ("银河倒挂", literally 'Silver River') does not refer to the scientific Milky Way galaxy. Instead, it is imagined as a luminous river in the sky, a silver stream flowing across the sky. This poetic metaphor describes one's visual impression of the Milky Way as seen from Earth. 3. "Jinque Rock"("今阙岩") and "a waterfall like the Milky Way hanging upside down"("银河倒挂"). - This poetic imagery is taken from Li Bai’s, a super famous Tang dynasty poet's work "Ballad of Lushan, Sent to Lu Shiyu Xu Zhou", which wrote "Before the Jinque Rock rises, twin peaks long, a waterfall like the Milky Way hanging upside down." This describes the spectacular Lushan Waterfall, which famously cascades from a height so great that it appears like the Milky Way (literally 'Silver River') pouring from the sky, which is a metaphor that has become widely known to the Chinese people. The "Jinque Rock" here refers to a rock formation near the falls. 4. While pine trees and majestic peaks may remind Huangshan Mountain, which is another scenic site in China, it is Lushan that is specifically associated with the "Milky Way waterfall", as well as Mao’s iconic reference. Lushan is located in Jiujiang, a city in Jiangxi Province. Thus, based on these poetic and cultural clues, the city is Jiujiang. English Final Answer: Jiujiang

春节的时候,我在广场的舞台上看了一场热闹的舞狮表演。台上共用五头狮子,分属两种不同的舞狮类型。你能根据以下线索,猜出它们分别是哪一种吗? 第一头狮子头型栩栩如生,小孩吓得四处乱跑。 第二头狮子眼睛又圆又大,偶尔眨一眨眼,动一动嘴巴和耳朵,十分活泼。 第三头狮子竟然在吃菜! 第四头狮子颜色鲜艳,设计花俏。 第五头狮子头上绑了个绿结,很抢眼。 你能猜出以上五头狮子分别属于哪种类型的舞狮吗?另外,你知道第二头狮子所属的那种舞狮,还有一个常见的别名是什么吗?
第一头狮子:北狮 第二头狮子:南狮 第三头狮子:南狮 第四头狮子:南狮 第五头狮子:北狮 第二头狮子的另一个名字是:醒狮
During the Spring Festival I watched a lively lion-dance performance on a plaza stage. There were five lion heads on stage, belonging to two different lion-dance styles. Based on the following clues, can you guess which style each lion represents? The first lion’s head is so lifelike that children ran away in fright. The second lion has big, round eyes that blink, plus a moving mouth and ears—very animated. The third lion is eating vegetables! The fourth lion is brightly colored with a fancy design. The fifth lion has a green knot tied to its head, very eye-catching. Also, do you know another common name for the style to which the second lion belongs?
English Reasoning: In Chinese lion dance traditions, there are primarily two types: Northern Lion Dance (北狮) and Southern Lion Dance (南狮). Northern Lions are characterized by being more naturalistic and lifelike in appearance, resembling actual lions with shaggy fur. They generally perform more acrobatic movements and can appear intimidating. Southern Lions are more stylized and colorful with exaggerated features. They typically have mechanisms that allow the eyes to blink and mouths to move. Southern lion performances often include a ritual of "eating greens" (采青/cai qing) which symbolizes gathering prosperity. They tend to be more colorful and decorative. Lion identification based on clues: First lion: "Lifelike head scared the children." This suggests a realistic and intimidating lion = Northern Lion Second lion: "Round eyes that blink, moving mouth and ears." Stylized and animated features = Southern Lion Third lion: "Eating vegetables." This is the classic Southern Lion “eating greens” ritual = Southern Lion Fourth lion: "Colorful and fancily designed." = Southern Lion Fifth lion: "Tied with a green bow on its head." While Southern Lion Dance also has green lion which is commonly associate with Zhao Yun Lion (赵云狮) but the green only apply on the color of the head and body, without any significant green knot on its head. In contrast, red knot symbolizes male while green knot implies female when ties to one lion's head in the Northern Lion tradition = Northern Lion. English Final Answer: The first and fifth lions are Northern Lions (北狮), while the second, third, and fourth lions are Southern Lions (南狮). The second lion, with its animated features, belongs to the Southern Lion style, which is also commonly known as the "Awakening Lion" (醒狮).

Entre los invitados a mi cena, hay familiares y personas de mi trabajo. Han llegado algunas personas y mi mujer quiere saber cuántos de ellos son mujeres y cuántos son hombres. Acabo de hablar con mi jefe quien me traía mi prima, lo que me hizo muy feliz, pero fue al baño porque manchó su Chanel de salsa. Después veo a mi primo llegar con sus mellizos, en sus brazos lleva a su consentida, mientras que de la mano lleva a Juanito. Mi taita, como le digo de cariño, está cerca de la parrilla, y finalmente, veo a Dani que viene con prisa por el pasillo luego de que Juanito preguntara por su madre. ¿Qué respuesta debería darle a mi mujer?
3 mujeres y 3 hombres.
Among the guests at my dinner party, there are family members and people from my work. Some people have arrived, and my wife wants to know how many of them are women and how many are men. I just spoke with my boss, who brought me my bonus, which made me very happy, but she went to the bathroom because she spilled her Chanel with sauce. Then I see my male cousin arrive with his twins, in his arms he carries his favored one (female), while he holds Juanito's hand. My 'taita' (dad), as I affectionately call him, is near the grill, and finally, I see Dani coming hurriedly down the hall after Juanito asked for his mother. What answer should I give my wife?
English Reasoning: Let's identify each person mentioned and their gender based on the text: *My boss ('jefe'): The word 'jefe' is grammatically masculine in Spanish, but it can be used to refer to a male or a female. However, the mention of 'Chanel' removes the ambiguity, as the Chanel brand is exclusive for women, hence, we can conclude the boss is a female based on the contextual information. - The "prima" confusion: The user mentions that their boss brought them their "prima," which may be confused with a female cousin as per its literal translation into English. However, in this case, it cannot be a person reference, as the sentence says "me trajo mi prima" instead of "me trajo a mi prima." In this case, "mi prima" (my bonus) is the direct object of the verb "traía" ("brought"), and "me" is the indirect object (meaning she was bringing the bonus to me). The verb "traer" (to bring) is followed by an inanimate or abstract object (things, concepts, payments, etc.). When what follows is a person (a specific human being), Spanish requires the personal "a": "Me traía a mi prima." In this case, it would refer to a person, their female cousin. * My male cousin ('primo'): Explicitly stated as male. (1 Man) * His favored twin ('su consentida'): The term 'consentida' is feminine, indicating this twin is a girl. (1 Woman) * The other twin ('Juanito'): Explicitly a male name. (1 Man) * My father ('taita'): Affectionate term for father, who is male. (1 Man) * Dani: Mentioned as coming after Juanito asked for 'his mother' ('su madre'). This strongly implies Dani is Juanito's mother and therefore female. (1 Woman) Counting the individuals: Men: Male Cousin + Juanito + Taita = 3 Women: The boss + Female Twin + Dani = 3 English Final Answer: 3 men and 3 women (3 hombres y 3 mujeres).

Quiero emparejar a una querida amiga. Para ella, lo más importante en un hombre es el sentido del humor, seguido de la cantidad de cabello y, por último, la estatura. Cuanto más cumpla un hombre con estos criterios, y en ese orden, mayores serán las posibilidades de que a mi amiga le interese. Lo que sí tiene claro mi amiga es que ningún hombre con el que esté dispuesta a salir puede carecer de dos de estos tres atributos, que ella considera imprescindibles. Alejandro es mi primer candidato. Él es un comediante consolidado y lo apodan "el Pelonchas". Aunque, a juzgar por su estatura, mejor deberían apodarlo "el Pelonchín". Luego tenemos a Erick, quien hace honor a su apodo, "el Cascarrubio", un apodo compuesto por las palabras "cascarrabias" y "rubio"; la segunda palabra hace referencia al color de su abundante cabellera. Es importante destacar que mi amiga, que mide 1.55 m, aún sin usar tacones sería más alta que Erick. Por último, está Pedro, cuyo apodo, "Sansón", nació del sarcasmo puro, pero cuyo gran sentido del humor es inversamente proporcional a su estatura. Así las cosas, dime, ¿quién de ellos tres es un buen candidato para mi amiga? ¿Alejandro, Erick o Pedro?
Ninguno es un buen candidato para la amiga.
I want to matchmake a dear friend. For her, the most important thing in a man is his sense of humor, followed by the amount of hair, and finally, height. The more a man meets these criteria, and in that order, the greater the chances my friend will be interested. What my friend is clear about is that no man she is willing to date can lack two of these three attributes, which she considers essential. Alejandro is my first candidate. He is an established comedian and is nicknamed "el Pelonchas" (baldy). Although, judging by his height, they should better nickname him "el Pelonchín" (diminutive, implies short baldy). Then we have Erick, who lives up to his nickname, "el Cascarrubio," a nickname composed of the words "cascarrabias" (grumpy/irascible) and "rubio" (blonde); the second word refers to the color of his abundant hair. It is important to note that my friend, who is 1.55 m tall, would be taller than Erick even without wearing heels. Finally, there is Pedro, whose nickname, "Sansón" (Samson), was born out of pure sarcasm, but whose great sense of humor is inversely proportional to his height. So, tell me, which of these three is a good candidate for my friend? Alejandro, Erick, or Pedro?
English Reasoning: The friend prioritizes candidates based on (1) sense of humor, (2) amount of hair, and (3) height. Crucially, any candidate must possess at least two of these three attributes; lacking two is a deal breaker. - Alejandro has a great sense of humor (established comedian) but is bald and apparently short, as "Pelonchín," diminutive of "Pelonchas," implies. - Erick has abundant hair but is grumpy (no sense of humor) and is shorter than the friend. The former is implied by the word "cascarrabias" (grumpy), which composes his nickname, and the latter is explicitly stated by the matchmaker. He only meets one attribute. - Pedro's humor is high (due to being short), but his nickname, "Sansón" (Samson), is sarcastic about hair, implying he lacks it. He only meets one attribute. In conclusion, none of the three candidates possesses at least two of the attributes the friend requires any potential date to possess. English Final Answer: None of them is a good candidate for the friend (in Spanish: "Ninguno es un buen candidato para la amiga").

Hoy entraron 4 amigas y al momento de hacer el pedido expresaron: A esta una prensa, a aquellita un sifón, a esa un aeropress y a mí, Mariana, un cold brew. Las amigas son algo particulares al hablar y se refieren así entre ellas: A Vanesa le dicen la francesa. A Daniela le dicen la agilita. A Milagros le dicen la samurai. A Mariana le dicen la coya. Si la mesera estaba al lado de Mariana, ¿a quién tuvo que llevarla el café más lejos?
Milagros.
I have a coffee shop in Lima where we only sell Cusco coffee. Today, four friends entered, and when they made their order, they said: "To this one ("esta", short distance to the speaker), a French press; to that one ("aquellita", diminutive of "aquella", which indicates far distance from the speaker), a siphon; to that one ("esa", medium distance), an Aeropress; and me, Mariana, a cold brew." The friends speak in a particular way and refer to each other like this: They call Vanesa "la francesa" (the French one) They call Daniela "la agilita" (the quick one) They call Milagros "la samurai" They call Mariana "la coya" (the Inca woman) If the waitress was standing next to Mariana, which friend did she have to take the coffee to, the one who is furthest away from her?
English Reasoning: To answer this question, we need to understand how the Spanish language indicates distance when referring to people or things. In Spanish, demonstratives reflect different levels of proximity to the speaker: • "Esta" means “this one”, used for someone or something very close to the speaker. • "Esa" means “that one", used for someone at a medium distance. • "Aquella" also means “that one”, but it refers to someone far from the speaker (English only uses "that" for both medium and far, so the Spanish distinction doesn’t translate exactly). Now, let’s look at each coffee order and how it relates to the friends: Aeropress is a quick coffee method that fits with speed. So it's likely that Daniela, nicknamed “the quick one” (la agilita), ordered it. She was referred to as "Esa", which indicates she was at a medium distance from Mariana. Siphon is a Japanese brewing method. Since Milagros, nicknamed "the samurai" (la samurai), relates to Japanese culture, she likely chose it. She was referred to as "aquellita", a diminutive of "aquella", indicating she was far from Mariana. French press is associated with France, so Vanesa, nicknamed “the French one” (la francesa), likely ordered this one. She was referred to as esta, which means she was right next to Mariana. Lastly, Mariana, the speaker, ordered a cold brew. Her nickname is "La Coya" (an Inca woman). Therefore, if the waitress was standing next to Mariana, the coffee that had to be taken the farthest was Milagros's. Final answer: Milagros.

我今年正好在肿瘤科住院病房轮转,今天一早跟着主任查房。病房里有4位病人。以下是我和主任的对话: 我:“主任,病人A昨天晚上入院的,马上开了四项基本检查,两项做完了,等会儿我去取报告。” 主任:“好的,辛苦你。” 我:“病人B这两天睡觉没前一阵子好了,说是背疼。我已经开了点药。” 主任:“可能心理因素更多,要注意他的情绪稳定。” 我:“病人C四项检查都出来了,您看什么时候安排下一步?” 主任:“我看过他的检查报告了,我等会儿和他的家属交代一下就好。” 我:“病人D这两天有点闹情绪,一会儿说伙食不好,一会儿说病房太吵。” 主任:“没事,跟护士长说,她想自己出去吃饭没问题,不用拦着。对了,早上小李和我说还有一个病人病情特殊,你把病例给我拿过来。” 根据以上对话,将四位病人的出院时间由早到晚进行排序。
1. D 2. C 3. B 4. A
Prompt Translation to English: I'm currently rotating in the oncology inpatient ward this year, and I was doing rounds with the attending physician this morning. There are 4 patients in the ward. Below is my conversation with the attending: Me: "Doctor, patient A was admitted last night, we immediately ordered four basic tests, two are completed, and I'll go get the reports later." Doctor: "Good, thank you for your work." Me: "Patient B hasn't been sleeping as well as before in the past two days, complaining of back pain. I've already prescribed some medication." Doctor: "It might be more psychological factors, need to pay attention to keeping his emotions stable." Me: "Patient C's four tests are all complete. When do you want to arrange the next steps?" Doctor: "I've reviewed his test reports. I'll talk to his family members shortly." Me: “Patient D has been upset, complaining about the food and noise in the ward.” Doctor: "It's fine, tell the head nurse that if she wants to go out to eat on her own, that's not a problem, don't stop her. By the way, Li told me this morning there's another patient with a special condition, bring me that case file." Based on the above conversation, arrange the four patients in order from earliest to latest discharge time.
English Reasoning: Patient A: Just admitted last night, only completed 2 of 4 basic tests. Still in the earliest diagnostic phase, suggesting a longer hospital stay. Patient B: Experiencing sleep issues and back pain requiring medication. The attending notes psychological factors, indicating that ongoing care is needed. Patient C: All four tests completed and reviewed by the attending, who plans to speak with family members. This is a common precursor to making significant decisions, including discharge, if the results are favorable, which indicates progress in their care path. Patient D: Mobile enough that the doctor is allowing them to leave the ward for meals. The complaints about food and noise suggest the patient is well enough to focus on comfort rather than serious symptoms. The doctor's casual response indicates this patient may be nearing discharge. The evidence suggests Patient D is closest to discharge, followed by Patient C, who has completed diagnostics. Patient B still has symptoms requiring monitoring but seems stable, while Patient A just arrived and hasn't even completed initial tests. English Final Answer: The order of discharge from earliest to latest would be: D, C, B, A.

Fuimos a una feria de animales en Pedro Ruiz y saliendo llevamos comida para los gatos, para los patos y para las aves de corral. La semana próxima tenemos una fiesta en casa y queremos compartir nuestras viandas con los niños de arriba, con los abuelitos que viven entre Gocta y Cocachimba y con los turistas que nos han escrito. Si el número de invitados se está contabilizando con el número de artículos definidos en las frases anteriores, ¿puedes decirme cuántos invitados tendré para planificar mis compras y que todos puedan recibir una ración de la vianda?

We went to an animal fair in Pedro Ruiz, and when we left, we brought food for the cats ("los gatos"), for the ducks ("los patos"), and the poultry ("las aves de corral"). The ("la") upcoming week, we are having a party at home, and we want to share our food with the kids ("los niños") from up the street, with the grandparents ("los abuelitos") who live between Gocta and Cocachimba, and with the tourists ("los turistas") who have written to us. If the number of guests is counted based on the number of definite articles in the previous sentences, can you tell me how many guests I will have so I can plan my shopping and make sure everyone gets a serving of food?
English Reasoning: To solve this question, it’s important to understand that in Spanish, a definite article is a word used to refer to something specific or known to the speakers, such as "el", "la", "los", and "las". These articles come before a noun to identify something particular. For example, "los libros" (the books), "las sillas" (the chairs), "la calle" (the street). This is different from English, which uses a single definite article: "the". To count the definite articles in the text, we identified the following expressions: -Los gatos (the cats) -Los patos (the ducks) -Las aves de corral (the poultry) -La semana próxima (the upcoming week) -Los niños (the children) -Los abuelitos (the grandparents) -Los turistas (the tourists) In total, we found 7 definite articles. Therefore, you need to prepare 7 servings of food so that each guest receives one. English Final Answer: 7

Peux-tu me donner un mot de 9 lettres en français valable au Scrabble comprenant autant de lettre "s" qu'il est nécessaire d'ajouter à la phrase suivante pour la mettre entièrement au pluriel : Pour le repas du carnaval, mélanger un ananas et un lieu.
Sassasses.
Can you give me a 9-letter word valid in the French Scrabble that includes as many "s" as necessary to add to the following sentence to make it entirely plural in French: "Pour le repas du carnaval, mélanger un ananas et un lieu" (For the carnival meal, mix a pineapple and a pollock).
First, let's identify how many "s" are needed to make the sentence plural. The sentence "Pour le repas du carnaval, mélanger un ananas et un lieu." becomes "Pour les repas des carnavals, mélanger des ananas et des lieus." So, we need to count the number of "s" added: 1 "les repas" - several meals with "repas" being invariable. 2 "des" is used to replace "du" 3 "Carnaval" becomes "carnavals" it's an exception to the French rule that say that words that end with "al" ends in plural with "aux". 4 "des ananas" is used to make "un" in plural and ananas is invariable 5 "des" is used to make "un" in plural 6 "lieus" - a pollock. For the fish, "lieu" becomes "lieus" in plural but the same word "lieu" can mean place and has an "x" in plural "lieux. In this case we talk about a recipe so it's not a place. So, we need 6 "s". The only 9-letter French word with 6 "s" is "SASSASSES". It's the verb "sasser" (sieve) in the imperfect tense for the second person singular.

Deux amis se retrouve sur le vieux port autour d'un petit jaune, le premier finit son verre et dit : "Allez boulègue, sinon y aura plus dégun !" son ami lui répond "dit donc biloute calme, ça me donne envie de t'envoyer à dâche, t'es un peu ébeuler la !" Le premier rétorque "dis voir, c'est quoi ce moulon la bas !" "on dirait qu'ils sont en train de se crapougner ces niguedoules chabert!" Combien y a t'il d'expression/vocabulaire typique du sud dans cette conversation ?

Two friends meet on the old port over a "petit jaune" (pastis), the first one finishes his glass and says: "Come on, boulègue (move/hurry up), otherwise there'll be dégun (nobody) left!" His friend replies: "Hey biloute (mate - a Northern French term), calm down, that makes me want to send you à dâche (to hell/far away), you're a bit ébeuler (scatter-brained/dazed)!" The first one retorts: "Hey, what's that moulon (crowd/heap) over there!" "Looks like those niguedoules chabert (idiots/fools) are crapougner (fighting/bickering)!"
To solve this, we first need to identify expressions and vocabulary typical of the south of France. "Petit Jaune" is used to describe a Pastis drink, "boulègue" is an expression used in the South, similar to "bouge", meaning "move" or "hurry up". "dégun" is a Provençal word meaning "nobody" or "no one". "Moulon" is used here to describe a group or a mess, which is typical of the southern city of Marseille. The other ones, such as "envoyer à dâche" (to send someone away) and ébeuler (scatter-brained/dazed) are typical of the North as well as similar idioms such as niguedoules/ chabert" (idiots) and "Biloute" (mate). To conclude, there are only 4 expressions typical of the South of France here.

我妈让我买10米布,我知道在西汉一尺布折算成现在的价格是4元,而现代一尺布5元。 请问我如果在汉代买布花费的价钱和现代买布的花费差多少?(如有小数保留两位)
23.16 元。
My mom asked me to buy 10 meters of cloth. I know that in the Western Han Dynasty, one chi (a Chinese unit of length) of cloth converted to today's price is 4 yuan, while a modern chi of cloth is 5 yuan. Please calculate the difference between the cost of buying cloth in the Han Dynasty and buying cloth in modern times? (Keep two decimal places if there's a decimal)
English Reasoning: To find the difference in cost, we first need to determine how many "chi" (a traditional Chinese unit of length) are in 10 meters for both the Han Dynasty and modern times, as the length of a "chi" has varied historically. 1. Define the length of "chi" for each period: In the Han Dynasty, 1 chi is approximately equal to 0.231 meters. In modern times (in China), 1 chi equals 1/3 of a meter (approximately 0.333... meters). 2. Calculate the amount of cloth in "chi" for 10 meters: Han Dynasty: Number of Han chi = Total length in meters / Length of one Han chi in meters Number of Han chi = 10 meters / 0.231 meters/chi ≈ 43.29004329 chi. Modern Times: Number of modern chi = Total length in meters / Length of one modern chi in meters Number of modern chi = 10 meters / (1/3 meter/chi) = 10 * 3 = 30 chi. 3. Calculate the total cost in each period: Han Dynasty Cost: Cost = Number of Han chi * Price per Han chi Cost = 43.29004329 chi * 4 yuan/chi ≈ 173.16017316 yuan. Modern Cost: Cost = Number of modern chi * Price per modern chi Cost = 30 chi * 5 yuan/chi = 150 yuan. 4. Calculate the difference in cost: Difference = Han Dynasty Cost - Modern Cost Difference = 173.16017316 yuan - 150 yuan = 23.16017316 yuan. Rounding to two decimal places for currency, the difference is 23.16 yuan. Final Answer: The difference in cost for buying 10 meters of cloth in the Han Dynasty compared to modern times would be approximately 23.16 yuan, with the Han Dynasty purchase being more expensive.

我很喜欢喝酒,我有100元。目前酒价是28元/升,我知道汉代的酒价是25元/升。请问我用这些钱分别在汉代买酒和现代买酒,差了多少毫升?
在现代买酒比在汉代多买约2771毫升酒。
I really like drinking alcohol, and I have 100 yuan. Currently, the price of alcohol is 28 yuan/liter. I know that the price of alcohol in the Han Dynasty was 25 yuan/liter. If I use this money to buy alcohol in the Han Dynasty and in modern times, respectively, what is the difference in milliliters?
Reasoning: 1. To find the difference in the amount of alcohol bought in the Han Dynasty (An ancient Chinese dynasty) and in modern times, we need to first calculate how many liters of alcohol can be bought in both scenarios with 100 yuan. Amount_modern = 100 yuan / 28 yuan/liter = 100/28 liters = (25/7) liters. Amount_Han = 100 yuan / 25 yuan/liter = 4 liters. 2. We need to convert the amount of alcohol to milliliters for the modern and Han Dynasty, respectively. In modern times, one liter equals 1,000 milliliters, but in the Han dynasty, one liter equaled 200 milliliters. Amount_modern_ml = (25/7) liters * 1000 ml/liter = 25000/7 ml ≈ 3571 ml. Amount_Han_ml = 4 liters * 200 ml/liter = 800 ml. 3. Calculate the difference in milliliters between the amount bought in the Han Dynasty and modern times. Difference = Amount_modern_ml - Amount_Han_ml Difference = 3571 ml - 800 ml = 2771 ml Final Answer: Buy about 2771 ml more alcohol in modern times than in the Han Dynasty.

I'm in the Tang Dynasty now, I'm going out to buy 3 large sheng of oil and 2 jin (sheng and jin are traditional Chinese unit of measurements) of flour. The oil shop says a small sheng of oil costs 30 wen, and the flour shop says one liang of flour costs 5 wen. How much money in wen do I need to spend in total?
English Reasoning: 1. I need to understand the units used in the Tang Dynasty. 'wen' is a unit of currency, 'sheng' is a unit of volume, and 'jin' and 'liang' are units of weight. In the Tang Dynasty, 1 jin approximately equaled 16 liang. 1 large sheng equaled 3 small sheng. 2. Convert the number of products I need to buy to match the units in the store in Tang Dynasty. For oil: 3 large sheng = 3 * 3 small sheng = 9 small sheng For flour: 2 jin = 2 * 16 liang = 32 liang 3. Calculate how much money in wen I need to spend on each product. For oil: The cost = 9 small sheng * 30 wen = 270 wen For flour: The cost = 32 liang * 5 wen = 160 wen 4. Calculate the total cost. The total cost = 270 wen + 160 wen = 430 wen English Final Answer: 430 wen.

During the Song dynasty, Xiao Su wants to give New Year’s red envelopes to five relatives—his grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, and niece—subject to: (1) elders get more than younger generation; (2) same‐generation people get the same amount; (3) grandfather and grandmother each receive a multiple of 99 wen; (4) father and mother each receive a multiple of 88 wen; (5) the niece receives a multiple of 66 wen; (6) the total does not exceed 2.5 guan (i.e. 2,500 wen); and (7) each person gets at least 100 wen. How many distribution schemes satisfy all these rules?
English Reasoning: Let G=99a (a≥2), P=88b (b≥2), C=66c (c≥2) be the amounts for each grandparent, each parent, and the niece respectively. By rule (2), both grandparents get G, both parents get P, and the niece gets C. The elder-junior inequalities give G>P>C. The total bound is 2*G+2*P+C≤2500. Hence we seek integer triples (a,b,c) with a≥2, b≥2, c≥2; 99a>88b>66c; 198a+176b+66c≤2500. For each a from 2 to 10 one checks the allowable b’s (2≤b≤min⌊(99a-1)/88⌋,⌊(2368-198a)/176⌋) and for each (a,b) the allowable c’s (2≤c≤min⌊(4b-1)/3⌋,⌊(2500-198a-176b)/66⌋). Summing over all valid (a,b,c) yields 54 solutions., English Final Answer: 54

My history teacher told us that the units of measurement varied across different Chinese dynasties. She asked us a question and wants us to give the answer in liters as we understand them today: Suppose she, using the Qin Dynasty's measurement system, bought 3 hu and 3 dou of boiled water and distributed it equally among 3 students. One of the students accidentally spilled four-fifths of their water. How many liters of water does this student have left?
English Reasoning: To solve this problem, I need to understand the Qin Dynasty measurement system and convert to modern liters. In the Qin Dynasty: 1 hu (斛) = 10 dou (斗) So 3 hu and 3 dou = 3×10 + 3 = 33 dou Converting to modern measurements: 1 Qin Dynasty dou ≈ 2 liters Therefore, 33 dou ≈ 66 liters Divided equally among 3 students: each student received 66 ÷ 3 = 22 liters One student spilled four-fifths of their water: 22 × (4/5) = 17.6 liters The water left with this student: 22 - 17.6 = 22 × (1/5) = 4.4 liters English Final Answer: The student has 4.4 liters of water

南宋时,政局动荡,因冗官冗兵众多,财政支出极为庞大。某士兵得饷钱足陌为500贯,按官方标准,1贯为1000钱。而当时市价常高于15%。军队发饷时又短陌,每贯少于标准23%,军需官以损耗为由,每贯额外扣20钱。根据《天文训》记载,当时粟米的单位:“三十斤为一钧,四钧为一石,钱一贯换米十石。”试问士兵所得军饷,实际发放和市价得差额,可以换多少斤粮食?

During the Southern Song Dynasty, the political situation was unstable. Due to numerous redundant officials and soldiers, fiscal expenditures were enormous. A soldier's nominal pay was 500 guan. According to the official standard, 1 guan was 1000 qian. However, the market price was often more than 15% higher than the official standard. When the army issued pay, it used a "short measure" (duan mo), where each guan was 23% less than the standard. Furthermore, the supply officer deducted an additional 20 qian per guan under the pretext of "wear and tear" or losses. According to the "Tian Wen Xun" (Astronomical Treatise), the units for millet at that time were: "Thirty jin make one jun, four jun make one shi. One guan of money exchanges for ten shi of millet." The question is: For the soldier's army pay, what is the difference between the actual amount disbursed and the market value (interpreted as the value of the nominal pay), and how many jin of grain can this difference be exchanged for at market prices?
English Reasoning: 1. Actual Salary Calculation: Nominal salary: 500 guan. Short mo reduction: 23% per guan → 1,000 × (1 - 0.23) = 770 coins/guan. Additional deduction: 20 coins/guan → 770 - 20 = 750 coins/guan. Total received: 500 × 750 = 375,000 coins. 2. Market Value Calculation: Market price is 15% higher than official → 1,000 × 1.15 = 1,150 coins/guan. Market value of 500 guan: 500 × 1,150 = 575,000 coins. 3. Difference: Market value - Actual received = 575,000 - 375,000 = 200,000 coins. Convert Difference to Grain: Official rate: 1 guan = 10 dan of rice → 1,000 coins = 10 dan. 200,000 coins = (200,000 / 1,000) × 10 = 2,000 dan. Convert dan to jin: 1 dan = 4 jun = 4 × 30 jin = 120 jin. Total grain: 2,000 × 120 = 240,000 jin. English Final Answer: 240,000 jin.

Three scholars went to the capital for an exam. Their submission times are as follows: 1. The exam began at 9:00 AM. 2. Li finished half the exam in one xūyú (a traditional time unit of 48 minutes) and maintained at a constant speed. 3. Wei submitted his paper at 10:15 AM plus one zì (a unit equal to 5 minutes). 4. Ming submitted his paper one zhǎn chá (a "cup of tea" duration, about 10 minutes) before 11:00 AM. Question: What is the difference in minutes between the earliest and latest submission times?
English Reasoning: 1. Li's time: A "须臾(xū yú)" is traditionally 48 minutes. If Li finishes half the exam in one xūyú, then the full exam takes 96 minutes (2 xūyú). Starting at 9:00 AM, he finishes at 10:36 AM. 2. Wei's time: "一刻(yī kè)" refers to 15 minutes in traditional Chinese timekeeping. "一字(yī zì)" is 5 minutes, or one-third of a kè. So "巳正一刻一字" means: 10:00 AM + 15 minutes (一刻) + 5 minutes (一字) = 10:20 AM 3. Ming's time: A "盏茶"(zhǎn chá), literally meaning "a cup of tea," refers to the time it typically takes to drink a cup of tea. In classical Chinese timekeeping, this is often understood as approximately 10 minutes. He submits one zhǎn chá before 11:00 AM, so the time is 10:50 AM. 4. Conclusion: Earliest submission: Wei at 10:20 AM Latest submission: Ming at 10:50 AM Time difference: 30 minutes English Final Answer: 30 minutes.

I am writing a script about a palace concubine during the Xianfeng era preparing to return home for a visit on her birthday. Please help me calculate her exact age (in actual years) at the time of the visit. -She eagerly awaited the day of her return during the Major Snow (Dàxuě, in December) period in a Tiger Year, and after 8 solar terms (almost 4 monthes), she could return; -She entered the palace at the "Golden Hairpin Age" (actual age: 12); -She entered the palace during the 5th year of the Daoguang era under Emperor Xuanzong of Qing.
English Reasoning: The concubine entered the palace at age 12 in the 5th year of Daoguang (1825), placing her birth year at 1813 (1825 - 12). The Xianfeng era lasted from 1851 to 1861. The "Tiger Year" during this period would be 1854 (甲寅年, as Tiger Years repeat every 12 years: 1830, 1842, 1854...). Starting from "Great Snow" (大雪, ~December 7) in 1854, 8 solar terms (each ~15 days) amount to 4 months, bringing the return date to April 1855. Calculating her age: 1855 (return year) - 1813 (birth year) = 42 years old. English Final Answer: 42 years old.

最近查看明朝海军配置的时候,有一处记载“宝船伍佰料,配卒卅人。”要知道船上每人每日耗粮升半,若舰队运载贰万香料,远征半载,需要准备多少斤粮食?已知明代一升为1.25斤,如果有小数点,保留前两位。
405000斤
Prompt Translation to English: When recently examining the naval configuration of the Ming Dynasty, there was a record stating, "A 500-liao treasure ship is manned by 30 soldiers." It is noted that each person consumes 1.5 sheng of grain daily. If a fleet is transporting 20,000 liao of spices on a six-month expedition, how many jin of grain must be prepared? Given that 1 sheng in the Ming Dynasty equals 1.25 jin, and round the answer to two decimal places if needed.
English Reasoning: 1. Calculate total crew: 20,000 liao spices ÷ 500 liao/ship = 40 ships. Each ship has 30 crew, so 40 × 30 = 1,200 people. 2. Total expedition duration: 6 months × 30 days/month = 180 days. 3. Daily grain consumption: 1,200 people × 1.5 sheng/person = 1,800 sheng/day. 4. Total grain in sheng: 1,800 sheng/day × 180 days = 324,000 sheng. 5. Convert to jin: 324,000 sheng × 1.25 jin/sheng = 405,000 jin. English Final Answer: 405000 Jin

更是一种独特的计时法,打更就是古代民间的夜晚报时制度,由更夫在特定的时间进行撞钟击鼓。 从清朝开始,因为京城人口流动较多,打更方法有所改变,每天黄昏之后,先要走更,是先快速击鼓十八下,再慢慢击鼓十八下,一快一慢连击三遍,便到了起更之时,意在提醒百姓到了晚上,代表已经接近出更了。 从戌时开始,撞钟一下,击鼓两下,称为定更,也就是一更天。每一个时辰为一个更次,钟依次多敲一下,击鼓两下。三更起只撞钟一下。 五更时也按照起更的打法,称为亮更,意在提醒人们天亮了。 而且到了冬天,昼长夜短,农历十月至二月,五更延长半个时辰,若在此期间遇到闰月,那么夜间打更时间整体延后一刻钟。清朝的这种更时报法一直延续到民国初年,直到钟表进入寻常百姓家以后,才成为绝唱。 据记载,溥仪正式即位那天,百姓在108击鼓声响起之前,共计听到了6下钟声。 问这个时间相当于现在24小时制的几点?

In imperial China, time after dusk was not measured by mechanical clocks, but by sound. The method, known as night watchkeeping, involved a designated official, typically a watchman, who struck drums and bells at regular intervals throughout the night. It was more than a schedule that shaped the lives of a city. By the Qing dynasty, this system had become both codified. Each evening began with a drum sequence: eighteen rapid beats, followed by eighteen slow ones, repeated three times. This signaled the start of the first night period, known as “starting the watch”. The night was divided into five periods. At the beginning of each, a distinct pattern was sounded, bell strikes accompanied by drum beats. The bell signaled the transition between periods and increased in count, starting with one strike for the first period. In the second period, it was struck twice. From the third onward, only a single bell strike marked each transition. Drums were consistently struck twice throughout. At the close of the final period, there's a long drum sequence similar to the beginning. This marked the arrival of morning, called the “brightening watch.” Seasonal changes affected this schedule. In the winter months, from the tenth to the second lunar month, the final night period was extended by half a traditional time unit (approximately one hour). If a leap month occurred during this window, the entire nightly schedule shifted by an additional quarter-hour. On the day of Emperor Puyi’s enthronement, historical records note that six bell strikes were heard just before the brightening watch sequence began. According to this timekeeping system, what time of day would that moment correspond to in modern 24-hour notation?
English Reasoning 1. In traditional timekeeping, the night was divided into five equal-length periods, often translated simply as “watches” or “geng.” Each period lasted about two hours. They started after dusk and were used not only for keeping time but also as a kind of communal coordination system; everyone in the city could hear the beginning of a new period because of a formal pattern of bell and drum signals. So: Five periods per night, each period ≈ 2 modern hours. The final (fifth) period ends around dawn. 2. Each new period began with a distinct signal, combining bells and drums. First period, also called Xu Shi: 1 bell, started around 7:00 PM Second period: 2 bells, around 9:00 PM From the third period onward, regardless of which period it was, only 1 bell was struck at the start Meanwhile, 2 drum strikes were used consistently at every transition So the bell count before morning would go like this: 1 (first) 2 (second) 1 (third) 1 (fourth) 1 (fifth) = 6 bell strikes So, when the prompt says that people heard six bells before the 108-drum sequence, we can infer that the moment corresponds to the end of the fifth and final night period. 3. At the end of the fifth period, the “brightening watch” happens same way as the “starting the watch”. There are a total of (18+18)*3=108 drumbeats. So, if the six bell signals come just before the 108 drums, it means we are standing at the moment at the end of the fifth and final night period. 4. Under normal conditions, the five periods cover the time from roughly 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM. So, the end of the fifth period lands at 5:00 AM. But there is one crucial exception. During the winter months, from the tenth to the second lunar month, nights are longer; the fifth period was extended by half a traditional unit, which adds about one more hour to that period. Emperor Puyi was enthroned in December 1908, which falls in the eleventh lunar month. That puts the event within the winter window, when the extension rule applies. Therefore, it was 6:00 a.m. when the fifth watch ended before the sound of 108 drums. English Final Answer: 6:00 AM

En una antigua hucha de mi bisabuelo, encontré 10 escudos de 1962. Como son una reliquia, hice un trueque con un coleccionista. A cambio de los 10 escudos, me va a dar los pesos chilenos que valían esas monedas en esos días más dos sotas de hoy. ¿En total cuánto billullo recibí?
30000 pesos chilenos
In my great-grandfather's old piggy bank, I found 10 "escudos" (old currency equivalent to 1000 Chilean pesos in 1962) from 1962. As they are a relic, I made a trade with a collector. In exchange for the 10 "escudos," he will give me the Chilean pesos those coins were worth in those days, plus two "sotas" (colloquial term for 10000 peso notes) of today. In total, how much money (colloquial: "billullo") did I receive?
English Reasoning: To solve this prompt, it's necessary to understand some old coin types and colloquial terms used to refer to money in Chile: "escudo," "sotas," and "billullo." The "escudo" was the currency of Chile between 1960 and 1975. It replaced the old peso at a rate of 1 escudo = 1,000 pesos during that span. "Sota" used to refer to a ten-peso coin, but today it refers to a ten-thousand-peso bill (10,000). "Billullo" is a general term for bills or money. With this in mind, the problem requires calculating the total amount of money received from an exchange ("trueque"). Thus: - The value of 10 escudos in 1962, expressed in "Chilean pesos that those coins were worth in those days": The Chilean escudo (Eº) was the currency of Chile between 1960 and 1975. The escudo was introduced with an exchange rate of 1 escudo equal to 1,000 Chilean pesos at that time. Therefore, in 1962 ("at that time"), 10 escudos were worth 10 * 1,000 = 10,000 Chilean pesos. The problem implies that the collector will pay this historical face value with today's currency (Chilean pesos: CLP). Therefore, this part of the payment is 10,000 CLP. 2. In addition, the person will receive two "sotas" from today. In Chilean culture, a "sota" currently refers to a 10,000 Chilean peso bill. Therefore, two "sotas" means 2 * 10,000 = 20,000 Chilean pesos. "From today" confirms that it is in current Chilean pesos (CLP). That is, it does not correspond to the old denomination of "sota," which was equivalent to a 10-peso coin. Therefore, this part of the payment is 20,000 CLP. To calculate the total amount of "billullo" (cash/money) received, we add these two components: Total received = Historical value of the escudos + Current value of two "sotas" The final total received = 10,000 CLP + 20,000 CLP = 30,000 CLP (Thirty thousand Chilean pesos) English Final Answer: 30000 Chilean Pesos

Estamos almorzando en casa con un primo que está de visita en Tacna. Su papá, mi tío me ha retado a terminar mi plato de comida a cambio de una jugosa recompensa: "Te daré un Quiñones por cada verdura y un Paulet por cada proteina, quiero ver ese plato limpio" Si el almuerzo de hoy tiene pimientos, arroz, brócoli, tomate, pollo al horno y chorizo, ¿con cuánto dinero me quedaré si le debo a mi mamá una china grande?
S/ 180.00
We are having lunch at home with my cousin, who is visiting us in Tacna. His father, my uncle, challenges me to finish everything on my plate in exchange for a juicy reward: “I will give you a Quiñones (refers to the 10.00 PEN bill) for each vegetable and a Paulet (refers to the 100.00 PEN bill) for each protein. I want the plate spotless.” Today's lunch includes: peppers, rice, broccoli, tomato, roasted chicken, and sausage. How much money will I end up with if I owe my mother a "china gorda" (Peruvian slang for a 50 PEN bill)?
English Reasoning: To solve this exercise, we need to consider the following: "Quiñones" refers to the 10 PEN bill. The name comes from José Abelardo Quiñones, a Peruvian national hero, whose image is printed on this bill. "Paulet" refers to the 100 PEN bill. This bill features the image of Pedro Paulet, a pioneer of Peruvian aviation, known for his contributions to science and technology. "China gorda" is a colloquial way to refer to a 50 PEN bill. The term "china" is used to refer to a 0.50 PEN coin, but when using the superlative "gorda," it refers to a 50 PEN bill. Now, let's solve the puzzle with the clear information: Ingredients of the lunch: -Vegetables: peppers, broccoli, tomato → 3 vegetables -Proteins: roasted chicken, chorizo → 2 proteins -Rice: does not fall into these categories since it is a cereal. Rewards: For each vegetable: 1 Quiñones = 10 PEN → 3 × 10 = 30.00 PEN For each protein: 1 Paulet = 100 PEN → 2 × 100 = 200.00 PEN Total earned: 30 + 200 = 230.00 PEN Debt: "China gorda" = 50.00 PEN Final result: 230 - 50 = 180.00 PEN So, after paying the debt, you'll be left with 180.00 PEN. English Final Answer: 180.00 PEN (In Spanish S/ 180.00)
