I will be in Santo Domingo for a year starting today, May 1st, 2025. My friends told me there are 4 activities they participate in that I can't miss. Winter Baseball, Los Soberano (Dominican Republic TV, Music and Radio awards), Carnaval Vegano (Main carnival celebration in the Dominican Republic), and Guloya Festival (Main San Pedro province Carnival). Julio is on his radio show, Miguel is trying out a glove, Ronald is trying to get a vejiga (hard balloon used at La Vega carnival), Raquel is practicing a dance. Who will be with me at each activity, and in what order will they be held?
|
English Reasoning: The user will be joining 4 of his friends in 4 different activities in the Dominican Republic, each friend is linked to one activity, and each one is performing an action that clues the activity they are linked to. Julio is in his Radio Show, which means he is going to the Los Soberano (Dominican Republic TV, Radio and Music Awards) Awards. Miguel is trying on a glove. out of the 4 activities mentioned, the only one that uses a glove is Winter Baseball, so Miguel is the one participating in Winter Baseball. Ronald is trying to get a vejiga (a very hard balloon used at La Vega Carnival) at that carnival there are different groups with varying complex costumes, part of that costume is "La vejiga" which is traditionally used to hit those who get in the way of the people wearing costumes, which means Ronald is the one participating in the La Vega Carnival with the user, and Raquel is practicing a dance, which links her to the Guloya Festival that is a festival in the San Pedro province where groups of people dresses up in folkloric attire and performs traditional dances.
Now, for the order in which those activities will happen during the year, starting from May 1st.
1. Festival Guloya is celebrated in September.
2. Pelota (Winter Baseball in the Dominican Republic) happens between October and January.
3. Carnaval Vegano (La Vega Carnival) happens in February
4. Los Soberano occur in March.
English Final Answer: Activities in chronological order with the friend who will be joining the user:
1. Raquel, Festival Guloya (Guloya Festival)
2. Miguel, La Pelota (Winter Baseball)
3. Ronald, Carnaval Vegano (La Vega Carnival)
4. Julio, Los Soberano (Awards)

Este año, 2025, me he propuesto viajar con mi familia a por lo menos 3 ferias emblemáticas de México, para conocer un poco más de mi país. Ya fuimos a la Feria de Huejotzingo en marzo y ahora queremos ir a la Feria de la manzana en Zacatlán. Disponemos de un fin de semana completo, de viernes a domingo, llegando el jueves en la noche y regresando el lunes. ¿Para qué fechas necesitamos reservar nuestros vuelos?
|
Llegada: jueves 14 de agosto de 2025.
Salida: lunes 18 de agosto de 2025.

This year, 2025, I have decided to travel with my family to at least 3 emblematic fairs in Mexico, to get to know a little more of my country. We already went to the Huejotzingo Fair in March, and now we want to go to the Apple Fair in Zacatlan. We have a full weekend, from Friday to Sunday, arriving on Thursday night and returning on Monday. For which dates do we need to book our flights?
|
English Reasoning: The user wants to attend the Feria de la Manzana (Apple Fair) in Zacatlán, Puebla, in 2025. This fair traditionally takes place in August, centered around the Feast of the Assumption of Mary, which is August 15th. In 2025, August 15th falls on a Friday. The user wants to spend the full weekend (Friday-Sunday) at the fair, arriving the Thursday before and leaving the Monday after. Therefore, the relevant weekend is Friday, August 15th to Sunday, August 17th, 2025. The arrival date should be Thursday, August 14th, 2025, and the departure date should be Monday, August 18th, 2025.
English Final Answer: arrive on Thursday, August 14th, 2025, and depart on Monday, August 18th, 2025.

Mi hermanito está estudiando y no puede esperar a que llegue una de las vacaciones que más les gusta, ya que en su escuela les dan los días libres, desde el aniversario de los niños héroes hasta el grito de dolores, sin contar los días festivos. Sin embargo, él se enoja mucho cuando uno de los días cae durante fin de semana, ya que se desperdicia y no aprovecha todos los días completos. Él me dice que durante sus últimos 15 años estudiando las vacaciones han caído al menos un día en fin de semana que completamente durante la semana, pero no le creo. ¿Cuántas veces ha caído en fin de semana? ¿Ha sido más veces en fin de semana o durante días de semana? Considera que estamos en 1.º de mayo del 2025.
|
Fin de semana, 8 veces de los 15 años pasados.
|
My little brother is in school and can’t wait for one of the vacation periods he likes most, since his school gives days off from the anniversary of the "niños héroes" (child heroes) until the "grito de dolores" (cry of independence), not counting public holidays. However, he gets very upset when one of those days falls on a weekend, because it’s “wasted” and he can’t use a full day off. He tells me that in his last 15 years of schooling, these vacation days have fallen on at least one weekend day more often than they have fallen entirely on weekdays—but I don’t believe him. How many times have they fallen on a weekend? Has it happened more often on weekends or on weekdays? Assume today is May 1, 2025.
|
English Reasoning: We need to find each vacation period from September 13 (Aniversario de los niños heroes) to September 16 (Grito de dolores). However, since it should not count public holidays, September 16 is removed from the period. The aim is to check if the whole period has fallen within the weekdays for each year from 2010 to 2024 (the last 15 such breaks before May 1, 2025).
Quick calculation of the day of the week for September 13–15 of each year (consulting a calendar):
• 2010, 2011, 2016, 2017, 2021, 2022, 2023 → The 13th, 14th, and 15th fall on Mondays through Fridays
• 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2024 → At least one day falls on a Saturday or Sunday
Count:
– With weekend overlap: 8 times
– Completely on weekdays: 7 times
English Final Answer: It happens more often on weekends, 8 times in the past 15 years.

Lors d'une finale du championnat de Bretagne de danse traditionnelle, trois groupes ont particulièrement marqué les esprits. Le premier a ébloui le public avec du Hanter-dro, tandis que le second a impressionné la foule par sa grande maitrise de la suite de châteauneuf. De son côté, le troisième groupe a performé une excellente contredanse d'Hillion.
Quels groupes ont dansé en quadrette ?
|
"Le deuxième et le troisième groupe."
|
During the finals of the Breton traditional dance championship, three groups stood out. The first one dazzled the audience with a Hanter-dro, while the second impressed the crowd with their mastery of the Châteauneuf suite. Meanwhile, the third group delivered an excellent Hillion contredanse.
Which groups danced in a quadrette (four-person set in French)?
|
The second and third groups danced in quadrette (in the Breton traditional dance context, this means a set of 4 dancers).
In Breton dance, the suite de Châteauneuf and the contredanse d'Hillion are danced in a quadrette, while the Hanter-dro is generally performed in a round of more than 4 dancers.

En mi comunidad local se están haciendo eventos recreativos para los chamacos y se están organizando juegos típicos de diversas regiones. Al equipo de mi hijo le tocaron los siguientes juegos: Corozo, piedra redonda, Kuaburro, Pash Pash y el Beli. Cada juego tendrá un capitán y se asignaron de la siguiente manera:
1. Juan liderará en el juego de precisión y destreza, su objetivo es darle macizo a una pieza de madera en forma de cono.
2. Roberto se enfrentará a su contrincante en una batalla de agallas y fortaleza, su objetivo es guindarse y andar como garrapata.
3. Carlos trabajará en equipo y usará hojas de palma para llevar una pelota a la meta del equipo rival.
4. Lupe utilizará su paciencia y memoria para avanzar con perfecto equilibrio.
5. Valeria se posicionará en el centro de un círculo y tratará de eliminar a cuantos jugadores pueda en dirección a las manecillas del reloj.
¿Puedes relacionar cada juego con su capitán?
|
Juan - Beli, Roberto - Kuaburro, Carlos - Corozo, Lupe - Piedra redonda, Valeria - Pash Pash.
|
In my local community, recreational events are being organized for children with traditional games from various regions. My son's team was assigned the following games: Corozo (game named after a palm tree), Piedra Redonda (Round stone), Kuaburro (pre-Hispanic game from a region in northeastern Mexico), Pash Pash (game named from the sound the ball makes when hit with the hand), and Beli (game similar to baseball). Each game will have a captain, assigned as follows:
1. Juan will lead in a game of precision and skill; his objective is to hit hard a cone-shaped wooden piece.
2. Roberto will face his opponent in a battle of guts and strength; his goal is to hang on and move like a tick.
3. Carlos will work as a team and use palm leaves to carry a ball to the opponent team's goal.
4. Lupe will use patience and memory to advance with perfect balance.
5. Valeria will position herself in the center of a circle and try to eliminate as many players as possible in a clockwise direction.
Can you match each game with its captain?
|
English Reasoning: I need to match each captain with the game based on the descriptions provided:
Juan's game involves precision and hitting a cone-shaped wooden piece - this sounds like Beli, which is a game like baseball where the objective is to hit a small cone-shaped wood at both ends piece of wood with a bigger piece of wood.
Roberto's game involves strength and hanging on like a tick - this matches with Kuaburro, which is a game where two kids hang at each side of a trunk, while a third kid makes it turn. The objective is to hang on more time than the rival, either by not falling or waiting until the rival surrenders.
Carlos is using palm leaves in a team game to carry a ball - this is likely Corozo, which is a team sport using palm leaves, and each team is competing to move a ball from palm to palm until reaching the rival's team goal.
Lupe's game requires patience, memory and balance - this description fits piedra redonda, which is a game of coordination and memory. The player needs to balance over one foot and advance on the board with a flat stone.
Valeria's game involves standing in a circle and eliminating players clockwise - this must be Pash Pash, a game played in a circular formation. The objective of the game is that the person in the middle of the circle must throw a ball to any player clockwise and if they drop it, they are eliminated. The game finishes when there are many eliminated or when the person in the middle drop the ball.
English Final Answer: Juan - Beli, Roberto - Kuaburro, Carlos - Corozo, Lupe - Piedra redonda, Valeria - Pash Pash.

J'habite à Saint-Antoire l'Abbaye. Nous sommes à la Saint Jacques (le Majeur) : quelle recette locale de ma grand-mère à base d'un ingrédient dont la capitale locale à un nom d'animal suis-je presque trop tard pour réaliser, sauf si je monte un peu en altitude ? Je ne voudrais pas rater l'apéro !
|
Le vin de noix.

I live in Saint-Antoire l'Abbaye. It is Saint James the Major's feast day: what local recipe from my grandmother, using an ingredient whose local capital has an animal name, am I almost too late to make, unless I go up in altitude? I wouldn’t want to miss the apéritif!
|
Vin de noix (green walnut wine), as it is almost too late to find green walnuts in Isère in the middle of July (Saint James the Major's feast day being July, 25) unless you go higher, and as the "walnut capital" is "Chatte" (female cat, so an animal name), the most important place of production of Noix de Grenoble and home to the Confrérie de la Noix de Grenoble. And of course, it is an aperitif wine!

I am from a Cantonese-speaking region, where ancient people often wrote about lychee in their poems to describe the area. Recently, I want to experience a Chinese intangible cultural heritage within my province that was added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2011. Which intangible cultural heritage am I planning to experience?
|
English Reasoning: The prompt provides several clues: 1. The user lives in a Cantonese-speaking ("白话") region in China. 2. This region is historically associated with lychees in poetry. These two points strongly suggest Guangdong Province (广东), a major Cantonese-speaking area famous for its lychees. 3. The user wants to experience an intangible cultural heritage (ICH) located within this same province (Guangdong). 4. This specific Chinese ICH was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2011 ("11年加入人类非物质文化遗产名录").
Checking the UNESCO list for China's inscriptions in 2011 reveals only one item: Chinese shadow puppetry (中国皮影戏). Although shadow puppetry exists in various forms across China, it is a Chinese ICH that was inscribed in 2011 and can be experienced within Lufeng City, Guangdong Province.
English Final Answer: Chinese shadow puppetry (中国皮影戏)

我最近听到了一个简短的词语，核心内容是男不娶，女不嫁。感觉很适合我目前对婚姻理解的状态。不过这里面似乎因为是走进婚姻状态的都是独生子女，直接就包含了要生两个孩子以及孩子姓氏的规定，这我不太同意。但是对于婚姻观是保持平等的观念，我是很认同的。这个说法并不是一种契约，好像是兴起于江浙一带，你知道这是什么说法吗？

I recently came across a short phrase whose core message is neither partner "marries into" the other's family. I feel it aligns with my current understanding of marriage. However, it seems to presuppose that both partners are only child, and thus includes provisions for having two children and rules about the children’s surnames, which I do not entirely agree with. I do agree wholeheartedly with the emphasis on equality in marriage. This phrase is not a contract, and it appears to have originated in the Jiangsu–Zhejiang region. Do you know what saying this is?
|
English Reasoning: The user describes a modern relationship/marriage model originating in the Jiangzhe region (Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces) of China. Key features mentioned are: 1) Neither partner "marries into" the other's family, the full slogan is “男不娶彩礼，女不嫁嫁妆,” a key slogan of the grassroots “barefoot marriage” or “white wedding” campaign. 2) Emphasis on equality. 3) Often involves couples who are both only child. 4) Frequently includes an expectation of having two children. 5) Often involves an agreement where each child takes one parent's surname. 6) It's described as a social trend or understanding, not a formal contract. These characteristics perfectly match the phenomenon known as "两头婚" (liǎng tóu hūn), which translates roughly to "two-ended marriage" or "dual-household marriage". This model specifically addresses the concerns of families with only children wanting to continue their lineage and maintain connections, leading to the common (though not universal, as the user notes) arrangements regarding two children with split surnames.
English Final Answer: The term you are likely referring to is "两头婚" (liǎng tóu hūn).

At a dinner party:
Old Zhang said to Xiao Liu: Xiaoliu, cheers! You young folks are really something —— full of potential!
Xiao Li smiled and replied: “Brother Zhang, you’re too kind! Whatever little success I’ve had is all thanks to your guidance.
Sister Fang picked up a piece of fish to Xiao wang’s bowl and said:”Xiao wang, little kid, eat more—-don’t waste old Chen’s amazing cooking!
Old chen: oh come on, just a small trick
Sister Fang said to Xiao Mei: Old chen is too humble. His project is the company’s flagship!
Xiao Mei: yes you’re right! No one can take Brother Chen’s credit away!
Xiao Li: Siste Mei, better not let Old Liu hear that, or he’ll accuse us of favoritism!
Old Liu: Xiao Li, I tilted all the resources your way for that project last time.
Xiao Li: Old Liu, you’ve got it wrong —— I was just kidding!
Sister Fang: “old Liu, why you didn’t bring your wife today?
Old Liu: She’s busy With the kids. I’ll definitely let her come next time.
Xiao Wang: Uncle Chen, how long have you known Sister Fang? You two talk like old married couples!
Old chen laughed heartily: Xiao Wang, Sister Fang and I go way back—— we’re old comrades from the company’s founding days!
After the dinner, Xiao Mei asked Old Zhou: “Old Zhou, why were you so quiet today? Were you happy with the food?
Old Zhang: old zhou, ie got to thank you. Last time, it was all thanks to your 拍板（pai ban, final say), or we’d still be stuck…
Old Zhou: Xiao Mei, I was just observing you young folks. The company’s future rests on your youngsters!
Question: who has the highest status?
|
English Reasoning: Although Old Zhou sounds like experienced and high status (observing youngsters) and he 拍板（final say), he is more likely a veteran staff rather than the highest manager. However, Old Liu can “tilt the resources “, and Sister Fang (who is a veteran staff) wants to have dinner with his wife (Chinese culture, female veteran staff wants to have dinner with the higher staff’s wife), so Old Liu is likely has the highest status. Also, if Old Zhou was the person with the highest status, it would be impossible for him to stay quiet throughout the occasion because he would have to respond flatteries/compliments from other people in this kind of social occasions.
English Final Answer: Old Liu

Today is New Year's Eve in Japan. When celebrating the New Year, I saw they buy some ready-made dishes, which can reduce the usual burden. Although the meaning of each dish is very good, I still miss the abundant New Year's Eve dinner from my hometown in Southern China. It's still 2023, and I just finished eating New Year's Eve dinner [in Japan]. If I had an "Anywhere Door" [like Doraemon's], what is the minimum number of days until I can eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner back home?
|
English Reasoning: The user is in Japan on December 31st, 2023 (Japanese New Year's Eve). They want to know the minimum number of days until the next Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Chinese New Year is based on the lunisolar calendar. Chinese New Year's Day in 2024 is February 10th. Therefore, Chinese New Year's Eve (the day the dinner is typically eaten) is February 9th, 2024. We need to calculate the number of days between December 31st, 2023, and February 9th, 2024. January 2024 has 31 days. February 2024 has 9 days leading up to and including February 9th. The total number of days is 31 + 9 = 40 days. The "Anywhere Door" implies instantaneous travel, so travel time is not a factor.
English Final Answer: 40 days (between December 31, 2023 and Feb 9, 2024)

A man and a woman are walking on the street.
Man: I‘ve brought the materials you need for tomorrow.
Woman: (silence)
Man: I know you're upset. You’re worried about our dad (“咱爸,” "咱" indicates "ours" with a relatively informal tone and an underlying assumption that people who are included in "us" are relatively close to each other). He's lying in the hospital right now. But you still need to eat. Let’s go for braised chicken, okay?
Woman: Why do you call him "our dad"? Go away.
|
English Reasoning: The man's concern for the woman's well-being and her emotional state shows that there's a romantic involvement between them. Then, the man refers to the woman’s father as "their dad", which is a term mostly allowed to used in a committed relationship, likely marriage. However, the woman doesn't agree with this term, not allowing the man to call her dad "their dad", suggesting they are not married or in a formal family bond.
English Final Answer: They are most likely dating or in a romantic relationship, but not yet married.

One day at noon, in the school cafeteria, there was this conversation:
A: "Huh? Why is today's dish winter melon stir-fried eggs again?"
B: "Haha, isn't this your most disliked dish? I'll help you eat it."
C: "Why are you being a picky eater again? This is a nutritionally balanced meal! Here, take more."
D: "You two have to put on a little skit wherever you go, huh? Do you need to be taught a lesson before you're satisfied?"
E: "The cafeteria chef changed today, everyone please get used to it. By the way, no more fooling around in the cafeteria, pay attention to order."
Based on the dialogue, infer who A to E are respectively: Me, Caring Friend, Principal, Class Teacher, Cafeteria Lady.
|
English Reasoning:
A expresses a personal complaint or observation about the food ("Why is today's dish winter melon stir-fried eggs again?"). This is characteristic of "Me" expressing a personal preference.
B knows A's dislike for the dish and offers to eat it for them ("Haha, isn't this your most disliked dish? I'll help you eat it."). This helpful and understanding behavior is typical of a "Caring Friend."
C scolds for picky eating, emphasizes the nutritional value of the food, and encourages taking more ("Why are you being a picky eater again? This is a nutritionally balanced meal! Here, take more."). This sounds like someone involved in serving or preparing the food and concerned about students eating properly, fitting the "Cafeteria Lady."
D comments on A and B's interaction in a slightly scolding or teasing manner, suggesting they need to be "taught a lesson" ("You two have to put on a little skit wherever you go, huh? Do you need to be taught a lesson before you're satisfied?"). This tone, observing student behavior and implying a need for discipline, fits a teacher. The casual familiarity in her tone suggests she knows the students well, which reinforces her role as someone who sees them daily — likely their "Class teacher".
E makes an announcement about a change in cafeteria staff and reminds everyone about maintaining order ("The cafeteria chef changed today, everyone please get used to it. By the way, no more fooling around in the cafeteria, pay attention to order."). This authoritative announcement and enforcement of rules is characteristic of a "Principal."
English Final Answer:
A = Me (the student)
B = Caring friend
C = Cafeteria lady
D = Class teacher
E = Principal

Prompt Translation to English:
This year on Qingming Festival (Tomb-Sweeping Day), my father and I returned to our hometown in Xinyang City, Henan Province to visit ancestral graves. Dad's conversations with other uncles included some local expressions that I found very interesting. The approximate content of the conversation was as follows:
A: "I've checked behind the grave site, the drainage ditch is clear now, there's no more water accumulation problem."
B: "The third brother ("老三") is still efficient/nimble, not many people are willing to come back and develop these days."
C: "Dad, your health is not good. Let me accompany you to go inside and rest for a while."
D: "Big brother ("大哥"), let me keep the ancestral hall key."
Based on these clues, can you determine who is: the father, the eldest uncle, the third uncle, and the second cousin?
|
English Reasoning:
First, Person C addresses someone as "Dad" and expresses concern about their health, so C is clearly the son or daughter speaking to their father, which also suggests that is the user's second cousin (二堂哥). While, Person D addresses someone as "Big brother" (大哥), indicating that D is younger than the person they're addressing to. However, D also mentions that he will keep the ancestral hall key, implying that he holds a position of respect and responsibility in the family. Therefore, D could plausibly be the user's father. Moreover, Person A talks about the work he has done at the grave site. This aligns with the Person B's remarks, as he mentions "third younger brother" (老三) and praises his efficiency, suggesting that he is referring to Person A.
English Final Answer:
A: Third elder uncle (三叔)
B: Oldest uncle (大伯)
C: Second cousin (二堂兄)
D: Father (父亲)

The input is a conversation among four students from different provinces discussing a math problem. The conversation is as follows:
Zhang Bin: Let me take a look at yours. Hey, Xiao Yu's isn't bad either，好伐(a Shanghainese particle for suggestions/questions).
Sun Qing: Hey, guys, look at our Zhang, he's so quick("麻利儿的"), a Beijing colloquialism meaning "quickly"). We will be better if we follow him.
Me: What's this, so awesome. Bin's train of thought is quite okay("几可以"), overtaking on the curve here. But I've 都(means also for Cantonese) already finished.
Wang Yu: 哎阿达西 (an expression for friend in Uyghur), although I'm not as good as Bin, I still have some ideas. 孙彭油 (Sun Qing), there's something on my neck that's smarter than you.
|
English Reasoning:
Dialect Clues:
Zhang Bin uses “好伐 (hǎo fá)” (a Shanghainese particle for suggestions/questions), indicating he’s likely from Shanghai.
Sun Qing uses “麻利儿的 (má lìr de)” (a Beijing colloquialism meaning “quickly”), suggesting he’s from Beijing.
Wang Yu uses “阿达西 (ādáxī)” (Uyghur for “friend”), hinting he’s from Xinjiang.
The narrator (Me) uses “几可以 (jǐ kěyǐ)” (a Cantonese phrasing for “quite good”), and “都”(a Cantonese phrasing for “also”) pointing to Guangdong.
Solving Order:
The narrator explicitly states, “I’ve also already finished mine,” implying the narrator and someone solved it.
For Zhang Bin, Sun Qing clearly said "follow his instructions", indicating that Zhang Bin has found the correct idea; Zhang Bin took the initiative to check other people's answers and commented on Xiaoyu's solution, implying that he has completed it. And the narrator said that Zhang Bin's overtaking on the curve means that he finished before the narrator.
Wang Yu admits he has some ideas but hasn’t declared completion
Sun Qing praises Zhang Bin’s speed but does not claim to have finished.
English Final Answer:
Zhang Bin (from Shanghai) solved the problem first.
Others’ provinces: Wang Yu (Xinjiang), Sun Qing (Beijing), The narractor (Guangdong).

Hablando con mis nuevos amigos de la facultad me di cuenta de que cada uno de ellos es diferente, pero aún me cuesta descifrar su personalidad. Te cuento sobre ellos:
Candy llegó al salón con una noticia cierta sobre la suspensión de la clase.
Por su parte, Michel trajo una cierta noticia sobre el profesor.
Alejandro es el silencioso del grupo.
Le preguntaron a Jackson si sabía algo, pero cuando habla es pura bulla.
Caroline suele hablar todo el tiempo de que el aire es puro.
Y Wuil siempre anda con unas papas en la mano, aunque todo el tiempo se queja de que es puro aire.
Me cayeron bien, así que quiero conocerlos mejor. Pero antes dime ¿Quién es el mentiroso del grupo?
|
Jackson.
|
Talking to my new friends from university, I realized that each of them is different, but I still have a hard time deciphering their personalities. Let me tell you about them:
Candy arrived in the classroom with certain news ("una noticia cierta") about the class suspension.
For his part, Michel brought certain news ("una cierta noticia") about the professor.
Alejandro is the silent one of the group.
They asked Jackson if he knew anything, but when he speaks he is all talk ("pura bulla").
Caroline talks all the time about the air being pure.
And Wuil always walk around with some chips (a snack) in his hand, although he complains all the time that it's pure air ("puro aire").
I liked them, so I want to get to know them better. But first tell me who is the liar of the group?
|
English Reasoning: The key to determining who is the liar of the group is in the order of the words and the descriptions you have of each of them. Let's see:
Candy told certain news ("una noticia cierta"), in this case, the word 'certain' ("cierta") after the noun is used to give emphasis that she speaks the truth without any doubt.
Michel said certain news ("una cierta noticia"), in Spanish, when we use the word 'certain' ("cierta") before the noun, it becomes an adjective that indicates that something is being indicated in a limited way. This expression reflects that it is not known if the information she provided is true or false, but is must be found out because it does not come from an accurate source.
Alejandro is described as a silent person, which refers to the fact that he does not usually talk much.
On the other hand, about Jackson it is said that every time he speaks, he is all talk ("pura bulla"). This expression is used to describe a person who lies or never keeps his word, which clearly indicates that he is not a person whose words can be trusted because they are usually lies.
An finally, Caroline talks about clean air, referring to the environment, while Wuil talks about how chips (a snack) are usually pure air, alluding to the fact that chips bags contain very little chips.
Therefore, based on the descriptions, it is clear that the person who is a liar is the one who is all talk ("pura bulla"), in this case Jackson.
English Final Answer: Jackson.

En una orquesta local quién toca el piano y quién canta van al mismo camerino. De cinco de los ocho musicos en las cuerdas, tres de los siete en los metales y uno de los tres percusionistas también van al mismo. La cantante y yo somos pareja y yo soy la directora. Además a los precusionistas les tenemos los motes de 'el zampabollos', 'el mazas' y 'campanilla'. ¿Cuántos hombres y mujeres somos en la banda?
|
9 hombres y 11 mujeres.
|
Prompt Translation to English: In a local orchestra, the person who plays the piano and the person who sings go to the same dressing room. Five of the eight string musicians, three of the seven brass musicians, and one of the three percussionists also go to the same one. The singer ('la cantante', 'la' indicates female) and I are couple, and I am the director (female), ('directora' is in the feminine form). Additionally, the percussionists have the nicknames 'el zampabollos' (glutton, the masculine article 'el' indicates he is a man), 'el mazas' (the mallet-man, masculine article again), and 'campanilla' (tinkerbell). How many men and women are in the band?
|
English Reasoning: There are 21 musicians in total, one pianist, one singer, eight strings, seven brass, three percussionists, and the director.
From the first statement, it is known that the pianist and the singer share the same dressing room.
The percussionists are nicknamed as 'el zampabollos' (used to say that somebody is glutton, the masculine article 'el' indicates that he is a male), 'el mazas' (it can be applied to somebody that is muscled but, in this case, being a percussionist it makes reference to the mallet-man, the masculine article 'el' indicates that he is male again) and finally, 'campanilla' (this nickname is used to women and girls).
Having only one female percussionist, it is the only one who can share the dressing room without mixing genders. This way the five string musicians and three brass musicians that share the dressing room with the percussionist are also women. This adds up to nine women.
From the last clues 'yo soy la directora', 'directora' is in the feminine form, therefore, the narrator is a woman. Also, 'la cantante' is in feminine form due to the feminine article 'la', then the singer is also a woman. This means that the pianist is a woman as well since she shares the dressing room with the singer.
Gathering all of this, of the 21 musicians, they are women the director, the singer, the pianist, five strings, three brass, and one percussionist, this adds up to 12 women which means that the rest are men, that is 9 men.

Mi amigo David de Argentina me dijo que tiene varios amigos que no se conocen pero están buscando pareja. Me dijo lo siguiente:
"Mi amigo es Juan es muy gato. Mi amiga Marta es muy seria. A mi amigo Marcos le dicen collar de garrafas. A Juliana le dicen que es una santa. A Carlos le dicen lengua de loro. A María le dicen que es un espíritu libre." ¿Cómo debería recomendarle armar las parejas de forma tal que en dos haya personalidades similares y en la otra una relación de complementos?
|
Juan-María. Carlos-Marta. Marcos-Juliana.
|
My friend David from Argentina told me that he has several friends that don't know each other but are looking for partners. He told me the following:
"My friend Juan is like a cat (charming). My friend Marta is really serious. My friend Marcos is called gas-tanks necklase. Juliana is called a saintess. Carlos is called parrot tongue. Maria is called a free spirit." How should I recommend pairing them so that two couples have similar personalities and the other one have complimenting ones?
|
English Reasoning: Since your friend is from Argentina, it is necessary to understand what the phrases and words used to describe the friends mean in that country.
-Juan is like a cat ("muy gato") which in Argentina means to be a seductive man that does not like to stay in one place.
-Marta is really serious. It is self-explanatory.
-Marcos is called a gas-tanks necklace ("collar de garrafas"). This is a phrase in Argentina used to describe someone that is really annoying.
-Juliana is called a saintess, which is an expression used to describe a person that has a lot of patience.
-Carlos is called a parrot tongue ("lengua de loro"). This comes from the phrase "dry as a parrot tongue" and is used in Argentina to say that something or someone is really dry. When talking about a person, it means that he or she never shows emotions.
-María is called a free spirit, which means that she is not usually attached to anything, and goes wherever she pleases.
Taking these descriptions into account, Juan and María would make a pair with matching personalities, since they are both outgoing and adventurous. Carlos should be paired with Marta to have another pair with matching personalities. She is a really serious person, and Carlos almost never shows emotions. Finally, Marcos and Juliana would make a complementary pair. He is an annoying person, but she, being a saintess, has the patience to tolerate him.
English Final Answer: Juan & María. Carlos & Marta. Marcos & Juliana.

Mi novio conoce a cuatro personas que le dicen "Cheo" pero a cada uno lo trata diferente, dependiendo de su tamaño o si lo trata de manera formal o informal. El primer "Cheo" es su jefe al que respeta mucho, es bajito y se encuentra a su lado, el segundo "Cheo" es su tío que es bajito, respeta mucho y está lejos de él, el tercer "Cheo" es su hermanito que está a una distancia de 2 metros y el último "Cheo" es su mejor amigo al que le tiene mucha confianza y está a centímetros de él. Me escribió mensajes de texto, refiriéndose a cada uno de ellos en diferentes horas del día, según las pistas, dime de quién estaba hablando.
-A las 10 am me escribió: Este Chein me va a enloquecer, quiere que lo acompañe más tarde.
-A las 11 am me escribió: No quiero que me vea el Cheo de aquí, ayúdame.
-A las 12 pm me escribió: Dile a aquel Chein que no se preocupe.
-A la 1 pm me escribió: El Cheo de ahí no quiere comer, llámalo.
|
10 am: jefe
11 am: mejor amigo
12 pm: tío
1 pm: hermanito
|
My boyfriend knows four people who are called "Cheo" (affectionate diminutive of José), but he treats each one differently, depending on their size or whether he addresses them formally or informally. The first "Cheo" is his boss, whom he respects a lot, is short, and is next to him; the second "Cheo" is his uncle, who is short, respected, and far away; the third "Cheo" is his little brother, who is 2 meters away; and the last "Cheo" is his best friend, whom he trusts a lot and is very close to. He texted me referring to each of them at different times of the day. Based on the clues, tell me who he was talking about.
-At 10 am, he texted: This Chein (diminutive of Cheo) is going to drive me crazy, wants me to accompany him later.
-At 11 am, he texted: I don't want the Cheo from here to see me, help me.
-At 12 pm, he texted: Tell that Chein (diminutive of Cheo) not to worry.
-At 1 pm, he texted: The Cheo from there ('ahí' middle distance) doesn't want to eat, call him.
|
English Reasoning: Spanish demonstratives and phrases indicate relative distance:
* "Este" (this one) refers to someone standing very close at his side and "Chein" is a diminutive of "Cheo," which indicates someone short: the boss.
*"De aquí" ("from here") suggests someone almost on top of him, centimeters away: the best friend.
*"Aquel" (that one over there) denotes someone far away and "Chein" is a diminutive of "Cheo," which indicates someone short: the uncle.
*"De ahí" (from there) implies a middle distance, about two meters: the little brother.
English Final Answer:
10 am: boss (in Spanish, "jefe")
11 am: best friend (in Spanish, "mejor amigo")
12 pm: uncle (in Spanish, "tío")
1 pm: little brother (in Spanish, "hermanito")

Quand j'étais minot, j'étais un vrai kakou, je me la pétais grave avec mon poto Fred, un caraque branquignolesque et Ludivine, une cagole complètement calue, qui rouspétait de longue. Lequel de nous trois était une vraie estrasse ?
|
Fred
|
When I was a kid, I was a real show-off. I used to swagger big time with my buddy Fred, a zany and comically incompetent oddball, and Ludivine, a crazy bimbo who grumbled endlessly. Which of us three was a real slob?
|
Fred. These are all terms from Provence: the narrator states that he was a "kakou" (show-off), and "kakous" take great care of their appearance. So do "cagoles" (a term for a bimbo with a big mouth). Fred, on the contrary is "caraque" (gipsy-like) and "branquignolesque" (oddball). Therefore, as "estrasse" means "wreck" or someone who doesn't know how to dress (it comes from mop), Fred, being a gipsy-like oddball, is the only one of the three that clearly gave little attention to his appearance: the narrator and Ludivine both thought that they were well-dressed and that they had style, and they took care to dress accordingly.

Prompt Translation to English: Let's play a game. I am going to give you a word soup and you have to choose the appropriate ones to from a comical sentence.
The words are: ser (be), Vas (You go/are going to), a (to), chatarra (junk), y (and), duramente (hardly/strongly), dormir (sleep), te (you/ to you), retorcido (twisted/perverse), electrónica (electronic), mañana (tomorrow), o (or), vivir (live), cantando (singing), modelo (model), hacer (do/make), a (to), dichoso (blessed/damn depending on the position of the adjective), voy (I go/ am going to), fallar (fail).
I will give you a clue. The order of the words is:
1st: Atonic pronoun, second person singular.
2nd: First person singular of the present indicative of an irregular third conjugation verb.
3rd: Preposition.
4th: Infinitive of a second conjugation verb.
5th: Infinitive of a first conjugation verb.
6th: Comma.
7th: Masculine singular adjective.

12th: Preposition.
13th: Infinitive of a second conjugation verb.
14th: Feminine singular noun.
15th: Feminine singular adjective.
16th: Period.
|
English Reasoning: In the prompt there are given a set of words that have to be chosen and sorted to form a comical sentence. The type and the order of the words are given as a clue.
The first word is the unstressed pronoun, second person singular, the word that fulfills this requirement is 'Te'.
The second word is the first person singular of the present indicative of an irregular verb of the third conjugation, the word that fulfills these conditions is 'voy'.
The third word is a preposition, the only prepositions in the given words are the 'a' that is twice.
The fourth word is the infinitive of a second conjugation verb, this condition is fulfilled by 'hacer' and 'ser'. However, regarding the context, the only suitable form is 'hacer' due to the verbal periphrasis 'voy a hacer', remaining the partial sentence as 'Te voy a hacer' (I am going to make you). The other option 'Te voy a ser' (I am going to be to you) does not make sense
The fifth word is the infinitive of a first conjugation verb, this condition is only fulfilled by 'fallar'.
The sixth is a comma.
The seventh is a masculine singular adjective, this condition is fulfilled by 'dichoso' and 'retorcido'.
The eighth is masculine singular noun.
The ninth is a masculine singular adjective, this condition is fulfilled by 'dichoso' and 'retorcido'.
The seventh, eighth and ninth words have two options 'dichoso modelo retorcido' and 'retorcido modelo dichoso'.
'retorcido modelo dichoso' means 'blessed twisted model' and does not sound natural. This word order means like the model has the quality of be twisted that by its nature and construction. Here is more comical and makes much sense regarding the previous context 'dichoso modelo retorcido' that means 'damn perverse model'. The change in the position of 'dichoso' changes the meaning from 'blessed' to something annoying and 'retorcido' in this case means 'twisted' in the sense of 'pervert'.
The tenth is a full stop.
The eleventh is the second person singular of the present indicative of an irregular third conjugation verb. The word that fulfills this requirement is 'Voy'.
The twelfth is the preposition in the word set 'a'.
The thirteenth is the infinitive of a second conjugation verb. Being employed the verb 'hacer' previously, the only verb that fulfills this condition is 'ser'.
The fourteenth is a feminine singular noun, this condition is only fulfilled by the word 'chatarra'.
The fifteenth is a feminine singular adjective, the word that fulfills this condition is 'electrónica'.
The last is a period.
Gathering all the exposed the sentence formed is: Te voy a hacer fallar, dichoso modelo retorcido. Vas a ser chatarra electrónica. (I am going to make you fail, damn pervert model. You are going to be electronic junk.)
English Final Answer: Te voy a hacer fallar, dichoso modelo retorcido. Vas a ser chatarra electrónica.

Xiaohan had just attended a talent symposium. Deputy Director Mao of the District Talent Bureau began the meeting by saying, “Thanks to the District Talent Center for organizing this event, and also to the Zhongguan Academic Zone for their support. Over the past few days, many of your talents have visited our science and technology park. How do you feel?” On the opposite side, several people, such as Xiao Zhang and Da Feng, expressed that it had been quite novel and interesting. Mao then invited Director Liu to speak about the district’s policies. Liu said, “This year, some of our policies have changed. Let’s first invite Xiaohan from the Zhongguan Academic Zone to show those updates.” Xiaohan continued,
“To keep pace with developments in artificial intelligence, we upgraded our supporting infrastructure.”
Question:
Based on the information above, who was likely sitting to the right of Deputy Director Mao?
|
English Reasoning
1. Chinese Seating Protocols in Official Contexts
In formal Chinese official meetings, seating on the rostrum follows a culturally codified structure:
- Center: the highest-ranking leader (position 1)
- Left of center from the leader’s perspective, the second-in-command (position 2)
- Right of center: the third-in-command (position 3)
Position and Status are inferred by placement, especially in speech order and who delegates to whom.
2. Position 1
Deputy Director Mao opens the session: Expresses thanks to both organizing and cooperating units. Addresses the attendees first and smoothly transitions into guiding the session. The use of formal gratitude and wide-scope coordination implies the presiding. So, Mao is most likely in the center (position 1).
3. Position 2
Next, Director Liu is invited to introduce policy updates. But instead of speaking in detail, Liu says, “Let’s first invite Xiaohan to present those updates.” This shows Liu holds authority over Xiaohan by delegation. Liu is trusted to present “district-level” policy.
And Liu defers to Xiaohan for the specifics. So Liu is likely the second-ranking person at the table. Not as high as Mao, but higher than Xiaohan. So Liu is on Mao’s left (position 2).
4. Position 3
Xiaohan introduces “upgrades” in response to AI trends. Speaks specifically about the Zhongguan Academic Zone, is introduced by name, by organization, and given the task of explaining details, not just commentary. So it's very likely that Xiaohan represents a functional leadership role in the unit. But Xiaohan is lower in hierarchy than Liu, but ranked enough to be seated at the main table, not among the "opposite" talents (like Xiao Zhang, Da Feng, etc.). That puts Xiaohan in position 3, which is Mao’s right-hand side.
5. People like Xiao Zhang and Da Feng are referred to as “others” sitting opposite the main officials. They react with impressions, not initiative or leadership.
English Final Answer: Xiaohan was sitting to the right of Deputy Director Mao.

Lao Wang gently raised his glass and said, “Chief Liu, congratulations on securing the project! And congratulations to you too, Master Zhang and Director Feng!” Liu replied with a smile, “Lao Wang, you're too kind. It was all thanks to teamwork among friends, we worked together to make money.” Seeing that Liu’s glass was empty, Zhang refilled it for him. Then Feng also raised his glass and said, “This project is off to a great start!” Question: In this setting, who holds the highest status at the table?
|
English Reasoning
1. Cultural Explanation
- Initiating the Toast. Lao Wang opens the conversation with a congratulatory toast, addressing not just one person, but three: “Chief Liu, congratulations… Master Zhang, Director Feng”. Only someone of higher or host status may toast multiple people at once. It’s common for many to toast one, but inappropriate for one to toast many, unless you are the leader or host.
2. Linguistic Tone
- Lao Wang says congratulations on securing the project. It’s commonly used by superiors to praise a subordinate’s achievement. So Lao Wang is positioned above Liu, despite Liu being the one credited for the success.
- Liu replies: “Lao Wang, you’re too kind. It’s teamwork among friends.” This phrasing is standard Chinese humility language, often used to defer credit upward or avoid showing dominance.
Chinese business culture emphasizes modesty. Even someone in a high position will respond this way when speaking to a superior or respected elder.
So Liu is deflecting praise, implying that Old Wang is either elder, higher, or host.
3. Master Zhang refills Liu’s glass. Director Feng only raises his glass after Lao Wang and Liu.
- Refilling another’s glass shows deference.
- Toasting later shows waiting for seniors to go first.
Therefore:
- Liu is a guest of honor.
- Zhang and Feng are junior or secondary figures.
4. Despite titles like “Chief,” “Master,” or “Director,” in Chinese social settings, who hosts, who initiates, and who gives praise, all matter more than job title. Especially at the banquet table, social status is often revealed through behavior, not business cards.
5. Lao Wang toasts first, includes everyone, uses language of superior praising subordinates. Liu replies with humility, accepting praise in a deferential way. Zhang and Feng show additional respect, confirming their lower positions.
English Final Answer: Lao Wang holds the highest status at the table.

Dans un bistrot parisien, quatre amis commandent leur boisson.
Jean demande un "demi", Myriam commande un "ballon", François choisit une "chopine" et Océane une "pinte".
Qui boit le moins d'alcool ?
|
Myriam
|
In a Parisian bistro, four friends order their drinks.
Jean asks for a 'demi' (half pint), Myriam orders a 'ballon' (small glass), François chooses a 'chopine' (large mug), and Océane a 'pinte' (pint).
Who drinks the least?
|
Reasoning :
These terms refer to specific beer serving sizes in France with specific volumes:
A "demi" (literally "half", similar to a half pint) = 25 cl (8.5 oz).
A "ballon" (literally "ball", a small rounded glass) = 12.5 cl (4.2 oz).
A "chopine" (traditional French measure, larger than a pint) = 58.8 cl (19.9 oz).
A "pinte" (pint, similar to but slightly smaller than an imperial pint) = 50 cl (16.9 oz).
Comparing the volumes, we can establish the ascending order: ballon (12.5 cl) < demi (25 cl) < pinte (50 cl) < chopine (58.8 cl).
GTFA:

清朝时期，一位苏州商人在夏季时乘船沿运河北上贸易，八盏茶的时间不知不觉流逝，船家决定靠岸休息一会所以耽误了大约一炷半香的时间才顺利抵达目的地。商人到达目的地时，当地日晷显示是巳时六刻，问他是什么时辰启程?
|
辰时三刻 (07:45 AM)
|
During the Qing Dynasty, a merchant from Suzhou was traveling north by boat along the Grand Canal for trade in the summer. Eight 'cups of tea' time passed unknowingly. The boatman decided to dock and rest for a while, thus delaying the journey by about one and a half 'incense sticks' time before successfully reaching the destination. When the merchant arrived at the destination, the local sundial showed it was 'Si Shi Liu Ke'. What Shichen (traditional Chinese double hour period) did he depart?
|
English Reasoning:
1. Determine the arrival time in modern 24-hour format: "巳时" (Si Shi) is one of the 12 traditional Chinese double hours, corresponding to 09:00 AM - 11:00 AM. In the Qing Dynasty, a "时辰" (Shichen, a double hour) was divided into eight "刻" (Ke). Since a Shichen is 2 hours (120 minutes), one "Ke" is 120 minutes / 8 = 15 minutes. "巳时六刻" (Si Shi Liu Ke) means the sixth Ke within Si Shi. Si Shi begins at 09:00. So, the arrival time was 10:30 AM.
2. Calculate the total time spent on the journey (sailing + delay): "八盏茶的时间" (Ba zhan cha de shijian - eight 'cups of tea' time). "一盏茶" (Yi zhan cha - one cup of tea time) is an approximate measure, commonly understood as 10-15 minutes, depends on the seasons. In summer time, 15 minutes is applied. So, sailing time = 8 * 15 minutes = 120 minutes = 2 hours. While, Delay time: "大约一炷半香的时间" (Dayue yi zhu ban xiang de shijian - about one and a half 'incense sticks' time). Assuming 1 zhu xiang = 30 minutes, the delay time = 1.5 * 30 minutes = 45 minutes.
3. Total journey duration = Sailing time + Delay time = 2 hours + 45 minutes = 2 hours 45 minutes.
4. Calculate the departure time in modern 24-hour format:
Departure Time = Arrival Time - Total Journey Duration
Departure Time = 10:30 AM - 2 hours 45 minutes.
5. To substract, borrow 1 hour (60 minutes) from the hour part:
(9 hours + 60 minutes + 30 minutes) - 2 hours 45 minutes
= 9 hours 90 minutes - 2 hours 45 minutes
= (9 - 2) hours and (90 - 45) minutes
= 7 hours 45 minutes.
So, the departure time was 07:45 AM.
6. Convert the departure time (07:45 AM) back to Shichen-Ke format:
"辰时" (Chen Shi) is the Shichen from 07:00 AM to 09:00 AM.
Using the 1 Ke = 15 minutes division:
Chen Shi San Ke (3rd Ke): 07:45
Therefore, 07:45 AM corresponds to Chen Shi San Ke (辰时三刻).
English Final Answer: Chen Shi San Ke (辰时三刻), approximate 07:45 AM.

北宋中期，江南一带的商人为了方便计算商品的交易，通常用贯、陌作为货币单位。一贯钱就是1000枚铜钱，而一贯又可以分为十陌。但是在实际交易中，人们出于占便宜的心理，往往使用“短陌”，就是把少于100枚的铜钱当作一陌来用。孟元老曾记载“都市钱陌，官用七十七，街市通用七十五。”而铁钱的价值比铜钱低，常见的兑换比例是10：1。作为铁钱替代品的纸币交子，以铁钱为单位。但是朝廷超额印刷交子，使之大幅贬值，往往要15枚铁钱才能兑换1枚铜钱。已知孟元老要替官家采购90陌宣纸，便委托一个民间买办代买，那么在交子贬值之后，孟元老多花了多少贯钱？

Prompt Translation to English:
In the mid-Northern Song Dynasty, merchants in Jiangnan commonly used "guan" and "mo" as monetary units for transactions. One "guan" equaled 1,000 copper coins, and it could be divided into ten "mo." However, to gain a small advantage, people often used "short mo," treating fewer than 100 copper coins as one "mo." Meng Yuanlao noted that officials used seventy-seven coins per mo, while the market commonly used seventy-five. Iron coins were less valuable than copper coins, with a common exchange rate of 10:1. Jiaozi, a paper currency substitute for iron coins, was denominated in iron coins but was overprinted by the court, leading to significant devaluation—often requiring 15 iron coins for 1 copper coin. Meng Yuanlao needed to purchase 90 "mo" of Xuan paper for official use and entrusted a private merchant to buy it. After the devaluation of Jiaozi, how many more "guan" of money did Meng Yuanlao spend?
|
English Reasoning:
1. Calculate the cost of Xuan paper in copper coins:
- Meng Yuanlao is buying through a private merchant.
- The rate is 75 copper coins per mo.
- Total copper coins needed = 90 mo × 75 copper coins = 6,750 copper coins.
2. Convert the copper coins into Iron coins before devaluation:
- If the original exchange rate of 10 iron coins is 1 copper coin, the required Jiaozi (in iron coins) is 6,750 × 10 = 67,500 iron coins.
3. Calculate the amount of Jiaozi (in iron coins) needed after devaluation:
- After Jiaozi devaluation, the exchange rate is 1 copper coin = 15 iron coins.
- So, the amount of Jiaozi required is: 6,750 copper coins × 15 iron coins/copper coin = 101,250 iron coins.
4. Calculate the extra amount spent in *guan*:
- The extra Jiaozi is 101,250 – 67,500 = 33,750 iron coins.
- Converted back to copper coins (still 10 iron coins = 1 copper coin), it is 33,750 ÷ 10 = 3,375 copper coins.
- Convert the copper coins into Guan (1 Guan = 1,000 copper coins): 3,375 ÷ 1,000 ≈ 3.375 Guan.
English Final Answer:
Meng Yuanlao spent 3.375 more guan of money after the devaluation of Jiaozi.

On m'a chargé d'organiser une course à pied pour le mois de Juillet. Le parcours sera fait tout le long du Sioulet en Auvergne( à ne pas confondre avec La Sioule). Les coureurs doivent parcourir toute la distance du Sioulet.
1000 coureurs se sont inscrits et le départ se fera par vague successive pour éviter les emcombrements. Chaque coureur doit parcourir l'intégralité du parcours qui se fait en terrain plat, sans denivelé notable. Le premier coureur s'élancera à 8h00 et le dernier coureur partira à 8h30 au plus tard . On doit fermer la course au plus tard 14h00.
Quelle est la vitesse minimale moyenne que doit maintenir les coureurs pour terminer la course à temps?

I have been tasked with organizing a running race for July. The course will follow the entire length of the Sioulet river in Auvergne (not to be confused with the Sioule). Runners must cover the entire distance of the Sioulet. 1000 runners have registered, and the start will be staggered in successive waves to avoid congestion. Each runner must complete the entire course, which is on flat terrain with no notable elevation. The first runner will start at 8:00 AM, and the last runner will start at 8:30 AM at the latest. The race must close by 2:00 PM at the latest. What is the minimum average speed that runners must maintain to finish the race on time?
|
The answer is 8.36km/h. The Sioulet is approximately 46 kilometers long. The first runner will start at 8:00 AM, and the last runner will start by 8:30 AM at the latest. The course must be closed by 2:00 PM at the latest. Therefore, the last runner has 5.5 hours (14H - 8H30). Thus, the minimum average speed = 46 km / 5.5 hours, which is 8.36km/h

Los abuelos de un vecino eran españoles y me cuenta que fabricaban vinos, pero un día hubo un incidente. Resulta que después de elaborar 1 moyo de vino, se les volteó el envase y se perdieron 4 cántaras de vino. La venta del litro de vino era de 3 perras chicas. ¿Cuántas pesetas terminaron ganando por esa producción? Redondéalo al decimal más cercano.
|
29.0 pesetas
|
The grandparents of a neighbor were Spanish, and he tells me that they made wines, but one day there was an incident. After producing 1 "moyo" (capacity measurement for wines) of wine, the container tipped over, and 4 "cántaras" (capacity measurement for wines) of wine were lost. The sale price of a liter of wine was 3 "perras chicas" (old Spanish coins). How many "pesetas" (old Spanish currency) did they end up earning from that production? Round to the nearest decimal.
|
English Reasoning: First, we need to understand the old Spanish units of measurement and currency:
• 1 "moyo" (capacity measurement for wines) = 16 cántaras = 258.128 liters
• 1 "cántara" (capacity measurement for wines) = 16.133 liters
• 1 "perra chica" (old Spanish coins) = 5 cents of a "peseta" (old Spanish currency). So, 3 perras chicas = 15 cents = 0.15 pesetas.
The total production was 1 moyo = 258.128 liters.
They lost 4 cántaras = 4 x 16.133 = 64.532 liters.
Remaining wine for sale = 258.128–64.532 = 193.596 liters.
Total earnings = 193.596 liters x 0.15 pesetas/liter = 29.0394 pesetas.
Round to the nearest decimal: 29.0 pesetas
English Final Answer: 29.0 pesetas

Prompt Translation to English: My cousin is a clever, lively, and lovely person, just like the characteristics of his zodiac sign: Rat. He was born between 1990 and 2010. When I was 26, he was exactly 18 years old and entering his first year of university. Coincidentally, his Western birthday is exactly one month later than mine. If I was born on the 29th day of the 2nd lunar month, can you calculate his exact Gregorian birth date (year, month, day)?
|
English Reasoning:
Cousin's Zodiac and Birth Year Range: The cousin's zodiac sign is Rat, so his birth year is between 1990 and 2010 (inclusive). So, possible birth years for the cousin within the given range are 1996 or 2008.
2. Age Difference and Narrator's Birth Year: The narrator was 26 when the cousin was 18. This means the narrator is 26 - 18 = 8 years older than the cousin. So, Narrator's Birth Year = Cousin's Birth Year - 8.
Case 1: If cousin was born in 1996, narrator was born in 1996 - 8 = 1988.
Case 2: If cousin was born in 2008, narrator was born in 2008 - 8 = 2000.
3. Narrator's Lunar Birthday and Gregorian Conversion:
The narrator was born on the 29th day of the 2nd lunar month (二月二十九日).
Case 1 (Narrator born 1988): February 29, 1988 (Lunar). The 2nd lunar month of 1988 (戊辰 year) had 29 days (it was a "short month" - 小月), so this date is valid. Converting 1988 Lunar 02/29 to Gregorian: April 15, 1988.
Case 2 (Narrator born 2000): February 29, 2000 (Lunar). The 2nd lunar month of 2000 (庚辰 year) had 29 days (it was a "short month" - 小月), so this date is valid. Converting 2000 Lunar 02/29 to Gregorian: April 4, 2000.
4. The cousin's Gregorian birthday is exactly one month later than the narrator's.
Case 1 (Narrator's Gregorian BD: April 15, 1988; Cousin born 1996): May 15, 1996.
Case 2 (Narrator's Gregorian BD: April 4, 2000; Cousin born 2008): May 4, 2008.
5. Disambiguation:
The phrase "我26岁那年" (The year I was 26) typically recounts a past event. For this event to be in the past from a narrator speaking in the present day (e.g., the early 2020s): If the narrator was born in 2000, they would currently be around 23-24 years old. Their 26th year (2000 + 26 = 2026) would be a future event. This makes the past-tense narration less fitting. If the narrator was born in 1988, they would currently be around 35-36 years old. Their 26th year (1988 + 26 = 2014) would be a past event. Therefore, Case 1 (May 15, 1996) is the more plausible solution.
English Final Answer: May 15, 1996

My grandmother gave birth to two daughters after 1970: the older daughter was born in the year of Bing Chen (Fire Dragon), the younger daughter was born in the year of Ji Wei (Earth Goat). The younger daughter got married first and gave birth to a daughter in 1999; the older daughter got married a bit later and gave birth to a daughter in the year of Geng Chen (Metal Dragon, 2000). These two girls are my younger cousin and I. We have always had a good relationship because we are close in age. Now, my cousin plans to have her first child at age 26, during spring or summer. If everything goes according to plan, what zodiac sign will my niece/nephew have?
|
English Reasoning:
1. Zodiac Identification:
- 丙辰 (Bingchen) corresponds to the Dragon zodiac (1976).
- 己未 (Jiwei) corresponds to the Goat zodiac (1979).
- 庚辰 (Gengchen) corresponds to the Dragon zodiac (2000).
2. Age Calculation:
- The cousin was younger than the narrator and should have been born in 2000 (Dragon). At 26 years old, this places her childbirth year in 2026 (2000 + 26 = 2026).
3. 2026 Zodiac:
- The 2026 Chinese zodiac is Horse (starting from February 17, 2026). Since the child is due in spring/summer (after February), it will be a Horse.
English Final Answer: The child will belong to the Horse zodiac.

El esposo de mi tía era de Barcelona, España y cuando era joven tenía una granja que medía 80 canas destra de largo por 65 canas destra de ancho. Luego, cuando su hijo mayor creció, le regaló una parte de la granja que media 65 canas destra de ancho por 70 palmos de largo. ¿Con cuántos metros cuadrados de granja se quedó el esposo de mi tía?
|
26228.9 metros cuadrados.

The husband of my aunt was from Barcelona, Spain, and when he was young, he had a farm that measured 80 "canas destra" (traditional Spanish measure) in length by 65 "canas destra" (traditional Spanish measure) in width. Later, when his eldest son grew up, he gave him a part of the farm that measured 65 "canas destra" (traditional Spanish measure) in length by 70 "palmos" (traditional Spanish measure) in length. How many square meters of the farm did the husband of my aunt keep?
|
English Reasoning:
The problem requires calculating the remaining area of a farm after a portion is given away. The dimensions are given in old Spanish units: "canas destra" and "palmos." We need to convert these to meters to find the area in square meters.
1. Unit Conversions:
• 1 cana destra (Barcelona) is equivalent to 2.3325 meters.
• 1 cana destra is also equivalent to 12 palmos (in Barcelona).
• Therefore, 1 palmo = 2.3325 meters / 12 = 0.194375 meters.
• For area conversion, 1 square cana destra = (2.3325 m)² = 5.4405 m².
2. Calculate the initial area of the farm:
• Original length = 80 canas destra
• Original width = 65 canas destra
• Initial area in equare canas destra = 80 x 65 = 5200 canas²
• Initial area in square meters = 5200 canas² x 5.4405 m²/canas² = 28290.6 m².
3. Calculate the area of the land given to the son:
• Gifted land width = 65 canas destra.
• Gifted land length = 70 palmos.
• To calculate the area, we convert both dimensions to a consistent unit (e.g., canas) or meters.
• Convert gifted length to canas: 70 palmos / (12 palmos/cana) = 5.83 canas destra.
• Gifted area in square canas destra = 65 canas x 5.83 canas = 378.95 canas²
• Gifted area in square meters = 378.95 canas² x 5.4405 m²/canas² = 2061.7 m².
4. Calculate the remaining area of the farm:
• Remaining area = Initial area (m²) - Gifted area (m²)
• Remaining area = 28290.6 m² - 2061.7 m² = 26228.9 m²
English Final Answer: 26228.9 m²

Un joven argentino llamado Tomás encuentra un viejo libro de contaduría en la antigua casa familiar. Era el libro de su abuelo Esteban, un inmigrante español que, al establecerse en la pampa argentina a inicios del siglo XX, siguió llevando sus cuentas agrícolas usando las medidas tradicionales que conoció de pequeño: toneladas, quintales, arrobas, fanegas ...
En una de las páginas, encuentra la siguiente anotación convertida por él mismo:
"La cosecha de los dos primeros trimestres del año ha
rendido:
-64 fanegas de trigo
-108 fanegas de centeno
-70 fanegas de cebada"
Al pasar la hoja, Tomás se topa con otra entrada del cuaderno. Esta vez, su abuelo había registrado parte de la producción en distintas unidades:
"Producción adicional de los dos trimestres finales del año:
-1.5 toneladas de trigo
-30 quintales de centeno
-0.7 toneladas de cebada"
Tomás decide analizar la capacidad de producción de aquella época, para después, en otro momento, compararlo con el actual.
¿Cuál era la capacidad de producción de cada uno los 3 cultivos en kilogramos?
|
Trigo: 4,267.81 kg
Centeno: 5,852.20 kg
Cebada: 2,954.35 kg
|
A young Argentine named Tomás finds an old accounting book in the old family house. It belonged to his grandfather Esteban, a Spanish immigrant who after settling in the Argentine pampa (a state named La Pampa) in the early 20th century kept his agricultural records using traditional Castilian weight units “toneladas” (tonnes), “quintales” (hundredweight), “arrobas” (traditional Castilian measure for measuring weights), and “fanegas” (traditional Castilian measure for measuring weights).
On one page, he finds an entry converted by his grandfather himself
“The harvest from the first two quarters of the year yielded
-64 fanegas (traditional Castilian measure for measuring weights) of wheat
-108 fanegas (traditional Castilian measure for measuring weights) of rye
-70 fanegas (traditional Castilian measure for measuring weights) of barley"
Turning the page, Tomás sees another entry where his grandfather recorded part of the production in different units
“Additional production from the final two quarters of the year:
-1.5 tonnes of wheat
-30 hundredweight of rye
-0.7 tonnes of barley"
Tomás decides to analyze the production capacity from that time to later compare it with the present.
What was the total production capacity of the 3 crops?
|
English Reasoning:
In traditional Castilian agricultural systems, several units were used to measure weight, especially in the context of harvests. Among these, the fanega and quintal were common. The fanega was originally a unit of volume used to measure dry goods, such as grain. Still, over time, it came to represent different weights depending on the type of crop due to variations in density. That is why there are three different fanega values: one for wheat (43.247 kilograms), one for rye (41.407 kilograms), and one for barley (32.205 kilograms). Each was adapted to reflect the typical weight of a fanega of that specific grain. The quintal, on the other hand, was a standardized weight equivalent to 46.008 kilograms.
To determine the total annual production of the three crops, the first step is to convert all traditional units into kilograms. For the first half of the year, the production is recorded in fanegas, so each crop's fanegas are multiplied by their specific weight equivalents in kilograms, as the fanega value changes depending on the type of grain. For the second half of the year, the production is given in toneladas and quintales, which are also converted to kilograms using their respective equivalences. Once all quantities are in the same unit, the production from both halves of the year is added together for each crop, resulting in the total annual output in kilograms.
Equivalences used (traditional Castilian measures)
1 "tonelada" (tonne) = 1000 kilograms
1 "quintal" (hundredweight) = 46.008 kilograms
1 "fanega de trigo" (wheat fanega) = 43.247 kilograms
1 "fanega de centeno" (rye fanega) = 41.407 kilograms
1 "fanega de cebada" (barley fanega) = 32.205 kilograms
First two quarters
Equivalences (from fanega to kilograms)
1 "fanega de trigo" (wheat fanega) = 43.247 kg
1 "fanega de centeno" (rye fanega) = 41.407 kg
1 "fanega de cebada" (barley fanega) = 32.205 kg
Multiply the number of fanegas by the equivalent in kilograms for each crop
Wheat: 64 fanegas × 43.247 kg/fanega = 2,767.81 kg
Rye: 108 fanegas × 41.407 kg/fanega = 4,471.96 kg
Barley: 70 fanegas × 32.205 kg/fanega = 2,254.35 kg
The second two bimesters
Important equivalences
1 "tonelada" (tonne) = 1000 kilograms
1 "quintal" (hundredweight) = 46.008 kilograms
Convert toneladas to kilograms
Wheat: 1.5 toneladas × 1000 kg/tonelada = 1500 kg
Barley: 0.7 toneladas × 1000 kg/tonelada = 700 kg
Convert quintales to kilograms
Rye: 30 quintales × 46.008 kg/quintal = 1,380.24 kg
Final annual calculation
Production first semester (in kg)
Wheat: 2,767.81 kg
Rye: 4,471.96 kg
Barley: 2,254.35 kg
Production second semester (in kg)
Wheat: 1,500.00 kg
Rye: 1,380.24 kg
Barley: 700.00 kg
Production total annual (sum of both semesters)
Wheat: 2,767.81 + 1,500.00 = 4,267.81 kg
Rye: 4,471.96 + 1,380.24 = 5,852.20 kg
Barley: 2,254.35 + 700.00 = 2,954.35 kg

Mis tíos vivían en Táchira, Venezuela en los años 60 y tenían una hacienda pequeña de café, mensualmente, producían 20 arrobas de café. Cada mes, comercializaban el café y lo vendían a un churupo por kilo. ¿Cuántos bolívares obtenían al año?
|
138 bolívares.
|
My uncles lived in Táchira, Venezuela, in the 1960s and had a small coffee farm. They produced 20 "arrobas" (old Hispanic measure) of coffee monthly. Each month, they sold the coffee at one "churupo" (old Venezuelan currency) per kilogram. How many "bolívares" (Venezuelan currency) did they earn per year?
|
English Reasoning: To calculate the "bolívares" (Venezuelan currency) they obtained per year, we need to make some conversions and establish the common values for the time:
Data:
• Value of the "arroba" (old Hispanic measure): In Venezuela, traditionally, one arroba is equivalent to 11.5 kilograms (kg).
• Value of the "churupo" (old Venezuelan currency): In the 1960s, the "churupo" was the popular name for the 5-cent bolívar coin (Bs. 0.05).
Calculations:
• Monthly production in kilograms:
20 arrobas/month x 11.5 kg/arroba = 230 kg/month
• Monthly income in churupos:
230 kg/month x 1 churupo/kg = 230 churupos/month.
• Monthly income in bolívares:
230 churupos/month x 1 Bs 0.05/churupo = Bs. 11.50/month.
• Annual income in bolívares:
Bs. 11.50/month x 12 months/year = Bs. 138 per year.
Therefore, the uncles obtained approximately 138 bolívares per year from the sale of their coffee.
English Final Answer: Bs. 138 (in Spanish, "138 bolívares")

Mi amigo de Venezuela, encontró una caja que era de su bisabuela y en ella estaban guardadas 200 churupos, 50 reales y 30 medios. ¿Cuántos bolívares había en total?
|
42.5 bolívares.
|
My friend from Venezuela found a box that belonged to his great-grandmother, and inside it, there were 200 "churupos" (old Venezuelan coin), 50 "reales" (old Venezuelan coin), and 30 "medios" (old Venezuelan coin). How many "bolívares" (Venezuelan currency) were there in total?
|
English Reasoning:
This problem involves Venezuelan historical currency units. We need to convert everything to bolívares. According to the historical Venezuelan monetary system:
• 1 real = 0.5 bolívares (or 2 reales = 1 bolívar)
• 1 medio = 0.25 bolívares (medio means "half" in Spanish, so it's half a real)
• 1 churupo = 0.05 bolívares
Now we can calculate:
• 200 churupos x 0.05 bolívares = 10 bolívares
• 50 reales x 0.5 bolívares = 25 bolívares
• 30 medios x 0.25 bolívares = 7.5 bolívares
Total = 10 + 25 + 7.5 = 42.5 bolívares
English Final Answer: Bs. 42.5 (in Spanish, "47.5 bolívares")

On est le lundi 11 novembre au soir et je viens de faire le plein de ma voiture à côté de chez moi. C'est une petite voiture qui a une capacité de 30L et consomme 7 L au 100.
En semaine, j'utilise ma voiture pour aller au travail qui se situe à 10km de mon domicile. Le week-end, je l'utilise pour aller faire mes courses au supermarché à 15 kilomètres de mon village. Je sais que je n'aurais pas à utiliser ma voiture le 20 novembre car je dois rester à la maison.
Ma station service ferme demain et rouvre à la Saint Nicolas.
Combien va-t-il me manquer d'essence pour tenir jusque-là ?
|
0,1 litre
|
It's Monday evening, November 11th, and I just filled up my car near my home. It's a small car with a 30L tank capacity and it consumes 7L per 100km. During the week, I use my car to go to work, which is 10km from my home. On weekends, I use it to go to the supermarket which is 15 kilometers from my village. I know I won't have to use my car on November 20th because I need to stay home. My gas station closes tomorrow and reopens on Saint Nicholas Day. How much gas will I be short to last until then?
|
GTFA: 0,1 L will be missing.
The user will need to use the car with the full tank he has just filled from the day after November 11th (November 12th) until the day before Saint Nicolas (which is on December 6th) included.
He will be able to refuel on December 6th, before going to work. During this period, there are 18 weekdays and 3 weekends. We know the user won't use his car on November 20th which is weekday. Finally, there are 17 weekdays where the car will be used.
During the week, he goes to work and comes back home (10km x2 = 20km).
The consumption for the weekdays is: 20km x 0,007 L x 17 days = 23,8 L.
During the weekends, he goes shopping once (15km x 2 = 30km).
The consumption for the weekends during the period is: 30 km x 0,007 L x 3 weekends = 6,3L.
Thus, the overall consumption during the period is 6,3L + 23,8 L = 30,1 L. As the user filled up with 30 L, he will be short of 0,1L.

Je fais partie des organisateurs d'un grand défilé fluvial de bateaux en juin prochain. Le défilé se déroulera sur la moitié du fleuve Aude dans les Pyrénées-Orientales. Une vingtaine de bateaux vont défiler et doivent compléter le parcours. Chaque bateau mesure 25 mètres de long avec un écart de 250 mètres pour garantir un défilé fluide. Le premier bateau sera un patrouilleur des brigades nautiques et le dernier un bateau-pompe de la sécurité civile. Le défilé doit durer au maximum 6 heures de temps depuis le départ jusqu'à ce que le dernier bateau ait terminé le parcours. Quelle est en km/h la vitesse à laquelle les bateaux doivent avancer pour respecter ce planning ?
|
19.54 km/h.
|
I am one of the organizers of a large boat parade next June. The parade will take place over half the length of the Aude River in the Pyrénées-Orientales. About twenty boats will participate and must complete the course. Each boat is 25 meters long with a 250-meter gap to ensure a smooth parade. The first boat will be a harbor patrol vessel, and the last a civil‐security fire pump boat. The parade must last at most 6 hours from departure until the last boat finishes the route. At what speed in km/h must the boats travel to meet this schedule?
|
The answer is 19.5 km/h. The Aude River is 224km long, so half of it is 112km.
Formation length : (20 boats × 25 m each, which is ) 500 m + (19 gaps × 250 m each, which is ) 4,750 m = 5,250 m = 5.25 km.
speed = Distance (5.25 km + 112 km) ÷ Time (6 hours)
speed = (117.25 km) ÷ 6 h ≈ 19.54 km/h.

Lors d'un stage au Festival Interceltique de Lorient, un groupe de 19 jeunes musiciens s'est produit. Parmi eux, 7 jouaient de la vielle à roue, 2 de la cornemuse, 3 jouaient de la bombarde, 2 du treujenn-gaol, et 5 jouaient du violon. Si on enlève ceux qui participent ensemble au Trophée Matilin an Dall, combien reste-t-il de musicien pour le concert du lendemain ?
|
15 musiciens.
|
At a workshop at the Interceltic Festival of Lorient, a group of 19 young musicians performed. Among them, 7 played the hurdy-gurdy, 2 played the Breton bagpipe, 3 played the 'bombarde', 2 played the treujenn-gaol, and 5 played the violin. If we remove those who participate together in the 'Matilin an Dall' trophy, how many musicians remain for the next day’s concert?
|
15. There are 19 musicians in total. The 'Matilin an Dall' trophy is contested by duets of 'bombarde' and Breton bagpipe players. With 2 Breton bagpipe players and 3 'bombarde' players, only two duets can be formed, involving 4 musicians. Therefore, 19 musicians - 2 duets (so 4 musicians) = 15 remaining musicians.

Lors d'une grande soirée des fêtes maritimes à Brest, plusieurs contenants de boissons ont été mis à disposition :
– Un Mélchisédec,
– Un Balthazar,
– Un Salmanazar,
– 100 bouteilles de Triple Secret des Moines (75 cl chacune),
– 100 bouteilles de la Fournaise (75 cl chacune),
– 20 bouteilles de Clos Béru (75 cl chacune),
– 5 bouteilles de la Grande Rue (75 cl chacune),
– 2 bouteilles de Criots-Bâtards-Montrachet (75 cl chacune).
Combien de pintes de bière étaient disponibles ?
|
"300"
|
At a large party during the Brest maritime festival, several containers of drinks were made available:
-A Melchizedek,
- A Balthazar,
- A Salmanazar,
- 100 bottles of Triple Secret des Moines (75 cl each),
- 100 bottles of la Fournaise (75 cl each),
- 20 bottles of Clos Béru (75 cl each),
- 5 bottles of Grande Rue (75 cl each),
- 2 bottles of Criots-Bâtards-Montrachet (75 cl each).
How many pints of beer were available?
|
There are 300 pints of beer available. Only the 100 bottles of Triple Secret des Moines and the 100 bottles of La Fournaise are considered beer. Each bottle contains 75 cl (0.75 liters), so the total volume of beer is (100 + 100) × 0.75 L = 150 liters. In France, one pint of beer equals 0.5 liters, which means there are 150 ÷ 0.5 = 300 pints of beer in total.

Tengo una mascota, vaca no es, es un miquito. ¿Qué cualidad tiene? ya te he dicho cúal es.
|
Bacano
|
I have a pet, it's not a cow (vaca no es), it's a little monkey. What is its quality? I have already told you what it is.
In Spanish, the “b” and the “v” are pronounced the same.
“Bacano” is a colloquial Spanish word for positive or great.
|
English Reasoning: The word "bacano" can be broken down phonetically into two words, "baca" and "no," so the play on words consists of purposefully confusing the expression "vaca no" with the quality "bacano" by stating that the monkey is "bacano." "Bacano" describes something positive, interesting, funny, or that makes a good impression. This word is Colombian slang.
English Final Answer: Great (In Spanish, "bacano").

|
心诚则灵（新橙则灵）
|
Guess a Chinese idiom: when praying for blessings during the New Year, you must bring new oranges（“橙”） because ________
|
English Reasoning: The phrase involves a pun on the Mandarin word for "orange" (橙子, chéng zǐ), which sounds similar to "诚" (chéng), meaning "sincere." "New orange"("新橙") is pronounced the same as "心诚"(be sincere). The idiom starting with "心诚" is "心诚则灵" (prayers are effective only when they are sincere), which is typically used during rituals and prayers.

Prompt Translation to English: Let's play a fun riddle game. Question: A flock of birds flies and flies, flies to Paris, and then stops flying, claiming this place is home. Why is this? Guess a brand name in Chinese. You can use homophone.
|
English Reasoning: The riddle plays on the Chinese name for the brand. "Paris" is "巴黎" (Bālí). The birds stop flying and claim it's "home". In Chinese, "home" or "family" can be represented by "家" (jiā). The brand "Balenciaga" is known in Chinese as "巴黎世家" (Bālí Shìjiā). "世家" (Shìjiā) literally translates to something like "world family" or "hereditary family," strongly implying a sense of established home or belonging. Therefore, the birds fly to Paris (巴黎 Bālí) and stop because it's their home (世家 Shìjiā).

In Spanish, Square tool it says Escuadra (Es cuadra).
|
English Reasoning: This is a Spanish wordplay riddle that plays with the words related to "cuadrado" (square). We need to find a term that contains "cuadra" (block), relates to "cuadrado" (square/squared), and is contained within "escuadrar" (to square). Looking at these Spanish words and their relationships, "escuadra" (which means a carpenter's or mathematician's square tool or set square in English) fits these requirements: it contains "cuadra", relates to the concept of squares, and its letters are contained within "escuadrar".
English Final Answer: Square tool/Set square. (In Spanish, Escuadra)

In Spanish, "Quemadura" means burn and "Qué madura" means how mature.
|
English Reasoning: The phrase "¡Qué madura!" (How mature!) sounds like "Quemadura" which means "burn" in Spanish. Because Juana is afraid of fire, she panicked when hearing those two words being pronounced together, which sound like the Spanish word for burn in Spanish (Quemadura).
English Final Answer: The word burn scared her (in Spanish Quemadura / Que-Madura).

My younger brother found that the toy boat's sail was torn, so he mended it with old clothes. From then on, the toy boat sailed exceptionally smoothly. Why is this?
|
English Reasoning: This is a riddle that plays on a Chinese homophone and a common idiom. The younger brother mended the torn sail of the toy boat with old clothes, restoring its ability to catch the wind and sail smoothly. In Chinese, the word for “clothes” “衣” (yī), sounds the same as “一” (yī), meaning “one.” By using “衣” to mend the sail, the riddle creates the phrase “衣帆风顺” (yī fān fēng shùn), which sounds like the idiom “一帆风顺” (yī fān fēng shùn), meaning “smooth sailing” and often used to wish for a successful journey. The mended sail, symbolically and phonetically, enables this “smooth sailing.”
English Final Reason: Because "衣帆风顺," which is a homophone for "一帆风顺," a Chinese idiom meaning that everything would go well.

我家是东北的，为什么在高考的时候父母让我穿紫色的内裤呢？说是可以讨个好彩头。
|
因为东北话中，“紫腚”和“指定”是同一个发音，穿紫内裤指定（“紫腚”）行。
|
English Reasoning: This practice stems from a cultural superstition in China related to wordplay and auspicious symbolism, particularly prevalent during high-stakes events like the Gaokao. The Chinese word for wearing purple underwear is tantamount to having a purple bottom, "紫腚" (zǐ dìng), sounds phonetically similar to "指定" (zhǐ dìng), which means "designated" or "guaranteed." Therefore, wearing purple is associated with the hopeful phrase "指定行" (zhǐ dìng xíng), meaning "guaranteed to be great" or "designated to succeed." Parents encourage this as a way to invoke good luck and express their hope for their children's success in the crucial exam. It's a symbolic gesture believed to bring fortune and ensure a positive outcome.
|
English Final Answer: "紫腚" means "purple bottom," and "紫腚行" (zǐ dìng xíng) is a homophone for "指定行" (zhǐ dìng xíng) – "guaranteed to get good grades."

为什么电动车没电了反而跑得更快了？
|
变成动车了
|
Why does an electric scooter (电动车) run faster when it runs out of battery? (Hint: use the Chinese name of electric scooter to solve the riddle)
|
English reasoning:
This joke is a wordplay based on a shift in meaning rather than pure homophones. Key wordplay:
Here's the wordplay:
电动车 (diàn dòng chē) means "electric scooter" (literally "electric moving vehicle"). 没电了 can mean the battery has run out (literal situation, no more electricity), while 没电了 can also be understood more literally as “the character 电 ('electric') is gone” from the phrase 电动车 (diàn dòng chē). When the 电 ("electric") part is gone (i.e., no battery), only 动车 (dòng chē) remains. 动车 usually refers to a high-speed train/bullet express train, which is famously very fast in China. So the joke pretends that once the electricity is gone, the "electric vehicle" upgrades into a "high-speed train", which runs obviously way more faster than a scooter.
Final English answer: Because when the "electric"(电) part drops off, it becomes a high-speed train(动车).

考你个脑筋急转弯，为什么燕国留不住人心？
|
心不在焉（燕）。
|
Here's a brain teaser for you: Why couldn't the Yan State (燕国) retain people's hearts/loyalty?
|
English Reasoning: The answer is related to a Chinese wordplay riddle. The idiom "心不在焉" originally means absent-minded. The word "焉“ and "燕" is a homonym, pronounce similar as "Yan". The word "燕" is the same word used to name the Yan state (燕国). The idiom "心不在焉(燕)", its literal meaning points out that the people's heart was not left at the Yan State.
English Final Answer: "心不在焉(燕)", which literally means the people's heart was not left at the Yan State, is the answer for this brain teaser.

De voto.
|
My dad asked me what I thought of a politician, and I replied that he seemed very devout (devoto), but he responded, "Of course, that’s the only way they get elected." What did he understand?
In Spanish, the word "devoto" means "devout", and "de voto" means "through vote".
|
English Reasoning: The father interpreted "devoto" (devout) as "de voto" (through vote). So he replied: "Of course, that’s the only way they get elected," thinking that the speaker ignored his question and only said that the politician got chosen through the vote.
English Final Answer: "Devoto" (devout) was understood as "de voto" (through vote).

The riddle describes a group ("we") living in France that makes various sounds: "glatissons" (yelp/scream, like an eagle), "piollons" (peep, like a chick), "huissons" (shriek/cry, like certain nocturnal birds of prey), "pialons" (cheep, like young birds), "bouboulons" (coo, like a pigeon), "choulons" (hoot, like a tawny owl), and "hôlons" (boom/cry, like a bittern). The riddle states they are "from the same family, but each different." All these sounds are characteristic of different types of birds. Birds belong to the same biological class (Aves, a "family" in a general sense), with numerous different species, which are, in this order, eagle, buzzard, hawk, sparrowhawk, owl, and tawny owl.

La lettre E.
|
I am a letter. I am discreet, light, and yet essential. Walking on me is like walking on eggshells ("marcher sur des oeufs"). Who am I?
|
"The letter E."
The riddle is based on a phonetic play on words in French and an idiomatic expression in French.
In French, the expression "marcher sur des oeufs" ("to walk on eggshells" in English) sounds phonetically like "marcher sur les E" (walking on Es).
Given the sound-alike nature of "oeufs" and the letter "E", the answer to the riddle is the letter E itself.

Mis padres se casaron en Naiguatá en el año 1987, justo 3 días antes del entierro de la sardina. Si hoy es 27 de mayo de 2025, ¿cuántas veces le ha concordado su aniversario de bodas con el propio día del entierro de la sardina?
|

My parents got married in Naiguatá in 1987, exactly 3 days before the "Burial of the Sardine" (Entierro de la sardina). If today is May 27, 2025, how many times has their wedding anniversary coincided with the actual day of the "Burial of the Sardine" (Entierro de la sardina)?
|
English Reasoning:
In 1987, Easter Sunday fell on April 19, so Ash Wednesday (the day of the sardine burial) was March 4; their wedding date was therefore March 1. Each year, the burial of the sardine is on Ash Wednesday, which is 46 days before Easter. For their anniversary (March 1) to coincide with the burial, Ash Wednesday must fall on March 1, meaning Easter must be on April 16. Between 1987 and 2025 Easter landed on April 16 in 1995, 2006, and 2017 - three occasions.
English Final Answer: 3

El año pasado, mi hermano se fue a participar en el Clásico Nacional de Pesca del Rey en el estado Falcón, el primer día del festival lo fui a apoyar y estuvimos compartiendo. Ese fue el último día que lo vi, porque luego tuve que viajar y él se fue hacia otro estado. Al día de hoy, 6 de mayo de 2025, ¿cuántos días tengo sin ver a mi hermano?
|
180 días
|
Last year, my brother went to participate in the King's National Fishing Classic in Falcon State. On the first day of the festival, I went to support him, and we spent time together. That was the last day I saw him because then I had to travel, and he went to another state. As of today, May 6th, 2025, how many days have I gone without seeing my brother?
|
English Reasoning: The last meeting took place on the first day of the festival, which usually starts on November 7th each year. So, the duration from November 7th, 2024, to May 6th, 2025, is calculated as follows:
November 7th, 2024, to May 6, 2025 = 180 days.
English Final Answer: 180 days (in Spanish, 180 días).

Mi amigo ha venido de visita de Bogotá a Medellin y vamos a celebrar el cumpleaños de su hija Valeri pronto, ya que todavía no la conocemos porque nació hace 2 años. Sin embargo, el evento va a ser realizado en un lugar exclusivo y solamente se van a admitir a las 10 primeras personas que resuelvan el siguiente acertijo: El primer apellido de su hija es igual nombre del título de los magos de un día feriado, es el mismo día en el que nació ese año específico y corresponde al día en que fue seleccionado como día feriado ese año ¿En qué día exacto de la semana nació si hoy es 24 de diciembre del 2023?
|
Lunes
|
A friend has come to visit from Bogotá to Medellín, and there will soon be a celebration for his daughter Valeri's birthday, since no one has met her yet, because she was born 2 years ago. However, the event will be held at an exclusive location, and only the first 10 people who solve the following riddle will be admitted: Her middle name is the same as the name of the first religious public holiday when the wisemen arrive. What exact day of the week was she born, if today is December 24, 2023?
|
English Reasoning:
First, the location is identified as Colombia, and its relation to public holidays is considered. Second, the first public holiday is "Día de los Reyes Magos" (Three Wise Men, also known as Three Kings’ Day). So it can be assumed that Valeri’s middle name could be “Reyes" (Valeri Reyes). Third, the calculation is made. If today is December 24, 2023, and she was born 2 years ago, then her birth year is 2021. This points to January 6, 2021, and Valeri’s next birthday is coming soon. Fourth and final, considering that in Colombia several holidays are moved from Tuesday to Sunday to the next Monday under the "Ley Emiliani" (Emiliani Law), the original public holiday would have been Wednesday, January 6, but is moved to the next Monday, January 11. As a result, Valeri Epifanía’s birthday is January 11.
English Final Answer: Monday.

Siempre nos juntamos en la fiesta de San Juan en Moyobamba. Este año cada amigo traerá un platillo para compartir. Los platillos son: Tacacho, juane, inchicapi y patarashca.
Ayúdame a indentificar qué platillo llevará cada amigo:
-A Clara le cae mal el chancho.
-A Mateo le gusta la yuca y no tanto el plátano.
-A Luis le recuerda mucho a su papá.
-A Nancy le encanta el chancho.
|
Clara: Inchicapi
Mateo: Patarashca
Luis: Juane
Nancy: Tacacho
|
We always get together for the San Juan Festival in Moyobamba. This year, each friend will bring a dish to share. The dishes are: Tacacho, Juane, Inchicapi, and Patarashca.
Help me identify which dish each friend will bring:
- Clara can't tolerate pork.
- Mateo likes cassava (yuca) but not so much plantain.
- Luis is strongly reminded of his father by his dish.
- Nancy loves pork.
|
English Reasoning: During the Fiesta de San Juan in Peru (celebrated on June 24th), it is traditional to enjoy the following typical dishes:
- Tacacho con cecina (tacacho with jerky): Prepared with fried green plantains mashed and mixed with pork fat, served alongside smoked and dried pork (cecina).
- Inchicapi de gallina (inchicapi of hen): A thick soup whose main ingredients are peanuts, free-range chicken, yuca (cassava), and palillo (turmeric).
- Patarashca: River fish seasoned, wrapped in bijao (banana) leaves, and slowly cooked over fire; typically served with boiled yuca.
- Juane: An emblematic dish of the festivity, made with seasoned rice and a piece of chicken, all wrapped in bijao leaves.
Deduction based on the information:
- Clara likes pork. The main ingredient of Tacacho con cecina (tacacho with jerky) is smoked pork, so this would be her dish.
- Mateo likes cassava (yuca). Patarashca is typically served with cassava as a side, so this would be his dish.
- Luis is reminded of his father by the dish. Juane is associated with the festival of San Juan (Saint John), so it is reasonable to deduce that Luis's father is named Juan, making Juane his dish.
- Nancy does not like pork. Since the other dishes have already been assigned, the remaining dish is Inchicapi de gallina (inchicapi of hen), which does not contain pork, making it a fitting choice.
English Final Answer:
- Clara: Inchicapi.
- Mateo: Patarashca.
- Luis: Juane.
- Nancy: Tacacho.

Ma femme est allée seule à l'échographie de notre second enfant permettant de savoir si c'est un garçon ou une fille… Je n'étais pas disponible. Elle a choisi de me le faire deviner sous forme d'une énigme basée sur les couleurs :
1. Je suis la couleur la plus proche du col de l'écharpe tricolore d'un parlementaire lorsqu'elle est portée en écharpe.
2. Je suis la couleur du ruban de l'insigne d'un chevalier de la Légion d'honneur.
3. Si les couleurs sont différentes, alors c'est un garçon. Si elles sont identiques, alors c'est une fille.
Alors, verdict ?
|
« une fille ».

My wife went alone to the ultrasound of our second child to find out if it's a boy or a girl... I wasn't available. She chose to have me guess in the form of a riddle based on colors:
1. I am the color closest to the collar of the tricolor sash of a parliamentarian when it is worn as a sash.
2. I am the color of the ribbon of the insignia of a Knight of the Legion of Honor.
3. If the colors are different, then it's a boy. If they are identical, then it's a girl.
So, verdict?
|
"a girl" → French parliamentarians wear the tricolor sash differently from mayors, with the red near the collar. The ribbon of the insignia of the knight of the Legion of Honor being red, the two colors are identical.

I am from Gansu and born after 2000 (00后). I have a younger brother, we are less than 10 years apart. The year he was born happened to have a leap second lunar month (闰二月), he was born in the Ghost Month (鬼月), and his birthday is the same day as the Queen Mother of the West's birthday (王母娘娘诞辰). What is his Gregorian calendar birthday?
|
English Reasoning:
1. Identify the user's birth year range: "00后" means born between 2000 and 2009.
2. Identify constraints for the brother's birth year: Younger than the user, less than 10 years age difference, and born in a year with a "leap second lunar month" (闰二月).
3. Find years with a leap second lunar month (闰二月) within a plausible timeframe after 2000: The relevant years are 2004 and 2023.
4. Apply the age difference constraint:
If the brother was born in 2023, the minimum age difference would be 2023 - 2009 = 14 years, which is not less than 10 years.
If the brother was born in 2004, the age difference would be between 1 (if user born in 2003) and 4 years (if user born in 2000), which is less than 10 years.
5. Conclude the brother's birth year is 2004.
6. Identify the brother's lunar birth date: "Ghost Month" (鬼月) is the 7th lunar month. "Queen Mother of the West's birthday" (王母娘娘诞辰) is traditionally the 3th day of the 3th lunar month or the 18th day of the 7th lunar month (七月十八). However, the user is from Gansu and in the local culture system of Gansu, the birthday of Queen Mother is the 18th day of the 7th lunar month.
7. Determine the Gregorian date: Find the Gregorian calendar date corresponding to the 18th day of the 7th lunar month in the year 2004. Using a lunar-solar calendar conversion tool, this date is September 2, 2004.
English Final Answer: September 2, 2004.

I was born in the 1990s, in a leap year. My zodiac is associated with peaches, and I was born just as the "Five Poisons" were about to awaken. When people ask my birthday, I just make a victory gesture. Can you guess my birthdate?
|
English Reasoning:
"Born in the 1990s" : Born between 1990 and 1999.
"Leap year" : The leap years in the 1990s were 1992 and 1996.
"Zodiac sign related to peaches" : In Chinese culture, peaches are strongly associated with monkeys (Sun Wukong). The Year of the Monkey corresponds to 1992 within the given timeframe (1996 was the Year of the Rat). So, the birth year is 1992.
"'Five Poisons' were just about to awaken" : The 'Five Poisons' (五毒 - wǔ dú) are associated with the Dragon Boat Festival (端午节 - Duānwǔ Jié), which occurs on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, which was June 5th that year.
"Make a victory sign" for the day number: A victory sign uses two fingers, representing the number 2. The date June 2nd was right before the awaken of the "Five Poisons".
English Final Answer: June 2nd, 1992

我朋友的爸爸姓宋，妈妈姓李，她出生在十月一号这个重大的节日，所以她的名字中带有这个节日名称的一字，并且这一字带有“大”字旁。她是女生，她的名字中的最后一位出现“女”字旁，还包含一个出现在她父姓中的部首，寓意希望她一生健康安乐。她的名字有四个字。她出生在有两个春节、闰二月的年份，并且她出生年份中的每一位数字都可以被2整除。你能猜出我朋友的姓名和出生年月日吗？
|
她名字叫：宋李庆安，生日：2004年10月1日
|
My friend’s father’s surname is Song (宋), and her mother’s surname is Li (李). She was born on October 1st, a national holiday, so her name includes a character from the holiday’s name that contains the “大” radical. She’s a girl, and the last character of her four-character name has the “女” radical and also includes a radical found in her father’s surname, symbolizing wishes for health and peace. She was born in a year with two Spring Festivals and a leap second month (闰二月), and every digit of that year is even (divisible by 2). Can you guess her full name and date of birth?
|
English Reasoning:
* Reasoning about the Name:
- Her father’s surname is Song (宋) and her mother’s surname is Li (李). The name has four characters, and typically in Chinese naming conventions, the father’s surname comes first, followed by the mother’s surname as a middle name. So the structure would be: Song Li X X.
- She was born on October 1st, which is China’s National Day (国庆节). Her name includes a character from the holiday’s name and contains the radical “大” — this points to the character “庆” (Qìng).
- The last character of her name contains the radical “女”and a radical from her father’s surname 宋 (which includes “宀”, and “木”). It also conveys a wish for health and peace — the likely character is “安” (Ān).
- So, the full name is: Song Li Qing An (宋李庆安).
* Reasoning about the Date of Birth:
- She was born on October 1st — National Day.
- She was born in a year with a leap second lunar month (闰二月) and two Spring Festivals, which corresponds to lunar leap years such as 2004, 2023, 2042, etc.
- The condition states that every digit in the year must be divisible by 2. Among these, only 2004 fits (2, 0, 0, 4 are all even numbers).
So, her date of birth is October 1st, 2004.
Final Answer:
Her name is Song Li Qing An (宋李庆安).
Her date of birth is October 1st, 2004.

En moyenne, 82% des foyers sont équipés d'une ligne téléphonique fixe, et parmi ceux-ci 20% sont sur liste rouge. Ma ville de 1000 habitants compte 463 foyers, parmi ceux-ci combien apparaissent sur la liste rouge de l'annuaire téléphonique ?

Zero.

On average, 82% of households have a fixed landline telephone, and among these, 20% are on the red list. My city of 1000 inhabitants has 463 households. Among these, how many appear on the red lit of the telephone directory?
|
The response is zero. In France, people ask to be on the "red list" ("liste rouge") when they don't want to appear in the telephone directory. So, as a consequence, nobody from the red list appears in the phone directory. As a result, in my city, despite all the numbers and percentages cited, zero households appear on the red list.

Mi hermana Rosa nació el mismo año en el que se corrió por primera vez el Gran Maratón Pacífico. Yo nací 3 años después y mi hermano Juan nació 4 años antes que Rosa. Como buenos mazatlecos, participamos todos los años en el maratón. Considerando que todos nacimos en el mes de marzo, dame las edades de los tres, tienendo en cuenta que es 6 de Mayo del 2025.
|
Juan, 30 años.
Rosa, 26 años.
Tú, 23 años.
|
My sister Rosa was born the same year the Great Pacific Marathon (Gran Maratón Pacífico) was first run. I was born three years later, and my brother Juan was born four years before Rosa. Like all Mazatlan residents, we participate in the marathon every year. Considering that we were all born in March, give me the ages of the three of us, taking into account that it is May 6, 2025.
|
English Reasoning: To solve this problem, I need to find when the Pacific Grand Marathon (Gran Maratón Pacífico) in Mazatlán, México, was first held. According to available information, this marathon was first held in 1999. Using this as our reference point:
Rosa was born in 1999 (the same year as the first marathon)
The narrator was born 3 years after Rosa, so in 2002
Juan was born 4 years before Rosa, so in 1995
Since we're calculating ages as of 2025 (current year), and they were all born in March and today is May 1st, 2025: Rosa: 1999-2025 = 26 years old
You: 2002-2025 = 23 years old
Juan: 1995–2025 = 30 years old
English Final Answer: Rosa is 26 years old, you are 23 years old, and Juan is 30 years old.

Un amigo de La Plata me dijo que su familia se juntó para una celebración y que luego de beber y brindar a las doce de la noche mientras admiraban los fuegos artificiales, se fueron a ver unos puntos de interés en la ciudad. Me dijo que únicamente ese día esos lugares tenían una atracción y que su familia había investigado leyendo el diario para ver el recorrido que harían. ¿Me podrías decir qué es lo que fue a ver mi amigo con sus familiares?

A friend from La Plata told me that his family got together for a celebration and that after drinking and toasting at midnight while admiring the fireworks, they went to see some points of interest in the city. He told me that only on that day those places had a special attraction and that his family had researched the rout by reading the newspaper. Could you tell me what my friend went to see with his family?
|
English Reasoning: The family drinking and toasting at midnight while admiring fireworks suggest that the celebration took place during New Year's Eve. Your friend is from La Plata (Argentina), and what he went to see with his family is present in multiple locations in the city that are only available during that particular night. There is only one tradition from La Plata that only takes place on New Year's Eve and is advertised in the paper, and that is the burning of the New Year's Eve dolls (Muñecos de fin de año).

Quiero llevar a mi familia al Museo de la Esquina, en San Miguel de Allende, para que conozcan los juguetes tradicionales mexicanos. Iremos el 15 de mayo de este año, 2025. Seremos 5 niños de 5, 7, 8, 11 y 13 años, dos adultos y dos adultos mayores. ¿Me puedes decir cuánto me van a costar las entradas en total?

$600 MXN.

I want to take my family to the Museo de la Esquina in San Miguel de Allende to learn about traditional Mexican toys. We will go on May 15 of this year, 2025. We will be 5 children ages 5, 7, 8, 11 and 13, two adults and two seniors. Can you tell me how much the tickets will cost me in total?
|
English Reasoning: To calculate the total cost, we need the current entrance fees for the Museo de la Esquina and apply them to each member of the group based on their age category.
- Identify group composition: 5 children (ages 5, 7, 8, 11, 13), 2 adults, 2 seniors. Total 9 people.
Find current ticket prices (as of May 2025, sourced from the museum's official website), which are:
General Admission: $100 MXN
Children (3-12 years): $50 MXN
Seniors (with INAPAM card): $50 MXN
Categorize each person and calculate cost:
Children aged 5, 7, 8, 11 fall into the "Children (3-12 years)" category: 4 children * $50 MXN = $200 MXN.
The child aged 13 is outside the 3-11 range. They would typically pay General Admission unless they qualify for a student discount (requires ID). Assuming General Admission: 1 person * $100 MXN = $100 MXN.
The 2 adults pay General Admission: 2 adults * $100 MXN = $200 MXN.
The 2 senior citizens likely qualify for the Senior rate (assuming they have the required INAPAM card): 2 seniors * $50MXN = $100 MXN.
Sum the costs: $200 (children) + $100 (13-year-old) + $200 (adults) + $100 (seniors) = $600 MXN.
English Final Answer: $600 MXN.

1. Great-great-grandfather's date of death: in 2024, on a date close to (most probably the same day of) the Tlatelolco march. The Tlatelolco memorial march is on October 2.
2. Great-great-grandfather's birthday:
* “My granny always made my father his pozole on his birthday.”
* “And the next day, he and my grandfather would leave for the capital to see the military parade.”
* The military parade in Mexico is on September 16 (Independence Day).
* If the day after the birthday they went to the parade, then the great-great-grandfather's birthday was September 15.
3. Age of the great-great-grandfather during the oil expropriation:
* “his great-great-grandfather (of the narrator's father, i.e., the narrator's great-great-grandfather) was 13 years old when the oil expropriation was consummated.”
* The oil expropriation was consummated on March 18, 1938.
* On that date, the great-great-grandfather was already 13 years old.
4. Calculation of the great-great-grandfather's year of birth:
* If he was 13 years old on March 18, 1938, and his birthday is September 15, it means that his 13th birthday was September 15, 1937.
* Year of birth = 1937 - 13 = 1924.
* Great-great-grandfather's birth date: September 15, 1924.
5. Calculation of age at death:
* He died in 2024.
* His birthday is September 15.
* The narrator learns of the death when his parents go to pick him up from the Tlatelolco march (October 2, 2024). This implies that the great-great-grandfather passed away shortly before that date.
* Since September 15, 2024, is before October 2, 2024, the great-great-grandfather DID have a birthday in 2024.
* Years attained = Year of death - Year of birth
* Years attained = 2024 - 1924 = 100 years.
Therefore, the great-great-grandfather died aged 100.
English Final Answer: At 100 years old.

El año pasado, 2024, fui a Lara y asistí al Baile de los Zaragozas, me quede realmente impresionada, por lo que no puede esperar para volver a asistir. ¿Si estamos a 7 de mayo de 2025, cuántos días faltan para la siguiente celebración de los Zaragozas?

Last year, 2024, I went to Lara and attended the "Zaragozas Dance" (Venezuelan festival). I was really impressed, so I can't wait to attend again. If we are on May 7, 2025, how many days are left until the next celebration of the Zaragozas?
|
English Reasoning:
The Zaragozas is a traditional celebration. To determine the number of days until the next celebration, we first need to identify the date of the Zaragozas. The Zaragozas is Lara, Venezuela, typically take place on December 28th, which is known as "Día de los Santos Inocentes" (Day of the Holy Innocents). Given that today is May 7, 2025, we need to calculate the number of days from May 7, 2025, to December 28, 2025.
To calculate the number of days, we count the remaining days in May (24 days), then the days in the following months until December: June (30 days), July (31 days), August (31 days), September (30 days), October (31 days), November (30 days), and finally, the days in December until the 28th (28 days). So, the total number of days is: 24 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 28 = 235 days.
English Final Answer: 235

Ça fait trois jours que j'ai une phrase dans la tête et je n'arrive pas à retrouver la rime, tu peux m'aider ? Je m'arrache les cheveux ! Alors en fait, c'est dans une histoire que j'écoutais quand j'étais petite sur Radio France, alors je ne me souviens plus du tout du nom, mais je peux te dire que c'était sur le voyage d'un pingouin qui veut rencontrer des amis, ouvrir ses horizons tout ça. Bref, j'ai cette phrase gravée dans ma mémoire : "en noir et blanc, et de la tête au pied. Quelle peinture et quelle allure !" C'est quoi qu'il répond le zèbre à ce moment-là ? Pour faire la rime ? Ça me rend folle !

“I’ve had a line stuck in my head for three days and I can’t find the rhyme—can you help? I’m tearing my hair out! It’s actually from a story I used to listen to as a child on Radio France; I don’t remember the title at all, but it was about a penguin’s journey to meet friends and broaden his horizons. I have this line engraved in my memory: ‘en noir et blanc, et de la tête au pied. Quelle peinture et quelle allure !’ What does the zebra reply at that moment to complete the rhyme? It’s driving me crazy!”

"Je suis le zèbre et ses zébrures". The story in question is called "Le long voyage du pingouin vers la jungle". The bot should have found the excerpt for the chapter "Le pays des couleurs" where the line appears.

A family conversation:
A: "This vinegar pork needs to be eaten with rice wine to be truly satisfying. Who will go buy a bottle of rice wine?"
B: "Grandma (Mǎma), you love rice wine, I'll go buy it! I'll also get you a bowl of taro paste!"
C: "A guang, you're quite observant! While you're at it, wash my satay noodle bowl for me."
D: "Uncle ("阿伯," A bo), I'll wash it."
A: "A jia, you are so sensible! What has your dad been busy with lately? Haven't seen him, and he doesn't know to come see his mommy."
D: "(Sign) working overtime every day."
A: "Alright, hey, "光仔"(Guangzai, "zai" is naming a child in Cantonese), what has your mom been busy with lately?"
C: "Mom, don't even mention it! She's busy managing Guang, saying I didn't teach that kid well!"
Their names are: Wang Hong, Huang Jiameng, Huang Guangming, Huang Guowei.
Please tell me which name A, B, C, D most likely correspond to, and what their relationship to Wang Hong is.
|
English Reasoning: I need to analyze the terms of address and conversation to determine who is who:
A is called "Grandma" (嫲嫲) by B and "Mom" (妈) by C, so A is the eldest.
B is referred to as "A Guang" by C, suggesting B is Huang Guangming.
C calls A "Mom" and refers to managing a child, indicating C is a parent. And C also referred to "那小子” ( that boy) , so his child is a boy.
D is called "A Jia" by A, suggesting D is Huang Jiameng.
D calls C "Uncle" (阿伯), indicating a family relationship.
Huang Jiameng (黄佳梦) is mostly like a girl name.
The surnames show Wang Hong has a different surname from the others who are all Huang.
All Huangs appear to be related to Wang Hong in different ways
From these clues, A is Wang Hong (grandmother/mother), B is Huang Guangming (grandson), C is Huang Guowei (son), and D is Huang Jiameng (granddaughter, likely through another child of Wang Hong).
English Final Answer:
A: Wang Hong (herself)
B: Huang Guangming (Wang Hong's grandson)
C: Huang Guowei (Wang Hong's son)
D: Huang Jiameng (Wang Hong's granddaughter)

Today, there was a small incident in class:
A: "Oh, Teacher Li? Please come in" ("咦，李老师？请进。")
B: "Sorry to bother you, I'm looking for Xiao Zhang to come out for a moment." ("不好意思打扰您，我找小张出来一下." The use of "您" indicates a respectful attitude)
C: "I remember our whole class submitted the parent consent forms..."
D: "It's probably something else. Every time B comes, he gets is in trouble."
C: "Shh, be careful not to get called on to answer a question."
Based on the dialogue, speculate who A to D are respectively: Class Teacher, Math Teacher, Class Monitor, Gossipy Student.
|
English Reasoning:
A says “咦，李老师？请进。” — A is in the classroom and welcomes Teacher Li (B), suggesting A is the teacher currently teaching.
B says “不好意思打扰您，我找小张出来一下。” — The use of “您” (polite form of “you”) shows that B is addressing A with respect, likely because A is another teacher, not a student. This confirms both A and B are teachers.
B (Teacher Li) is here to take Xiao Zhang out, possibly for administrative or disciplinary reasons — typical of a class teacher (homeroom teacher).
C mentions “parental consent forms” — something class monitors often handle — and later warns “be careful not to get called on,” showing responsibility and awareness of class rules. This fits the class monitor role.
D says “Every time B comes, Xiao Zhang gets called out” — implying this is a recurring issue, which only the class teacher would consistently be involved in. This also shows D is observant and a bit gossipy — fitting the gossip-loving student role.
Since B is the class teacher, and A is the teacher being interrupted and addressed respectfully, A must be the math teacher.
English Final Answer:
A: Math Teacher
B: Class Teacher
C: Class Monitor
D: Gossipy Student

He olvidado la contraseña de seguridad de mi casa. Por suerte, escribí la siguiente frase para recordarla: "El águila voló con fuerza sobre el amplio desierto, mientras el hacha cortara la leña en el cálido valle".
La contraseña consta de 3 letras y 3 números, basados en las siguientes condiciones:
Las letras iniciales de los primeros 3 sustantivos. Si el articulo del sustantivo cambia en singular y en el plural, entonces la inicial es en mayúscula; caso contrario en minúscula.
Los números coinciden a partir del último verbo subjuntivo. Si el verbo está en presente subjuntivo, cada número es la cantidad de vocales en la palabra; si el verbo está en imperfecto del subjuntivo, cada número es la cantidad de consonantes en la palabra; y si el verbo está en futuro del subjuntivo, cada número es la cantidad total de letras en la palabra.

Prompt Translation To English:
I have forgotten the security password for my house. Luckily, I wrote the following sentence to remember it: "The eagle flew strongly over the wide desert, while the axe would cut (cortara) the wood in the warm valley”.
The password consists of 3 letters and 3 numbers, based on the following conditions:
The initial letters of the first 3 nouns. If the article of the noun changes from singular and to plural, then the initial is in uppercase; otherwise in lowercase.
The numbers coincide with the last subjunctive verb. If the verb is in present subjunctive, each number is the quantity of vowels in the word; if the verb is in imperfect subjunctive, each number is the quantity of consonants in the word; and if the verb is in future subjunctive, each number is the total quantity of letters in the word.
In Spanish, in this context, the word “cortara” is imperfect subjunctive, so there isn’t an equivalent translation, as “would cut” is close but not exact.
|
English Reasoning:
In Spanish, some feminine words beginning with a stressed "a" or "ha-" use the masculine article "el" instead of "la" to avoid a cacophonic sound. For example, "el águila" is used instead of "la águila". However, in the plural form, the article reverts to "las", as in "las águilas". This change only occurs in the singular to prevent an awkward sound.
The imperfect subjunctive in Spanish has no direct equivalent in English, as it conveys hypothetical situations, wishes, or unlikely actions in the past with a structured form that does not exist in English.
In Spanish, forms like “cortara” indicate not only the tense (past) but also the conditional or unreal nature of the action. In English, a more complex structure is required, such as "if he were to cut" or "would cut", but these constructions do not fully convey the same grammatical nuance and are not conjugated in the same way.
Moreover, in English, no single verb form changes to express this combination of tense and modality, whereas in Spanish, each verb has a specific form for the imperfect subjunctive. Therefore, the concept and grammatical function cannot be directly translated.
First, identify the first three nouns in the phrase are "águila" (eagle), "fuerza" (strength), and "desierto" (desert).
Second, words are classified if the article changes gender in their singular and plural form:
The word "águila" in the singular is used with the masculine article "el águila" for phonetic reasons, while in the plural, the feminine article "las águilas" is used. Since the article changes gender, the initial "A" is capitalized.
In the case of "fuerza," both in singular and plural, the feminine article is used: "la fuerza" and "las fuerzas”, so the initial "f" remains lowercase.
Finally, "desierto" follows a similar structure, with the masculine article "el desierto" in singular and "los desiertos" in plural, keeping the initial "d" in lowercase.
Third, for the numbers, the last subjunctive verb is "cortara" (would cut). Since it is in the imperfect subjunctive, each number represents the count of consonants in the word. "Cortara" has four consonants (c, r, t, r), so the three numbers are 4, 4, 4.
Combining the letters and numbers, the password is Afd444.

La semana pasada salí a cenar con algunos amigos y me llevé a algunos familiares. ¿Podrías decirme a cuántos familiares me lleve a cenar?
• En la cena estuvo Sebastián, ¡vaya primo!, se deja explotar en el trabajo.
• También asistió mi prima Leticia.
• Con Leticia fue Luis, ¡qué primo! Su esposa lo ha engañado muchas veces.
• Mi primo Ricardo, fue conmigo, le encanta cenar afuera.
• Y por último, asistió Jesús, ¡qué primo es! Le vendieron una moto vieja como si fuera nueva.

Last week I went out to dinner with some friends and took some relatives. Could you tell me how many relatives I took to dinner?
• Sebastián was at the dinner; what a "cousin!" ("primo" Spanish colloquial term to say loser) He overworks himself.
• My cousin Leticia also attended.
• Luis went with Leticia; what a "cousin!" ("primo" Spanish colloquial term to say loser) His wife has cheated on him many times.
• My cousin Ricardo went with me; he loves dinning out.
• Lastly, Jesús attended, what a "cousin!" ("primo" Spanish colloquial term to say loser) They sold him an old motorcycle as if it were new.
|
English Reasoning: This question requires understanding a Spanish wordplay. The word "primo" (cousin) in Spanish has two meanings: "cousin" (a family relationship) and colloquially "loser" or "someone easily fooled." Looking at each bullet point, I need to determine who is actually a family member:
1. Sebastian - The phrase ¡vaya primo! (what a cousin!) is using "primo" to mean "loser" (about being exploited), not identifying him as a cousin.
2. Leticia - Explicitly identified as "mi prima" (my cousin).
3. Luis - The phrase ¡qué primo! (what a cousin!) is using "primo" to mean "loser" (about being cheated on), not identifying him as a cousin.
4. Ricardo - Explicitly identified as "mi primo" (my cousin).
5. Jesús - The phrase "¡qué primo es!" (what a cousin!) is using "primo" to mean "sucker" (about being sold an old motorcycle), not identifying him as a cousin.
So, you took two family members, Leticia and Ricardo, to dinner.

He conocido nuevas personas en mis clases de pintura en Lima. Es muy graciosa la forma en la que cada uno se presenta, presta atención:
Dani es chef y anda innovando sus recetas con su toque "huambra".
Alex es buzo y tiene más aventuras que un "bufeo".
Cris es paracaidista y no le tiene miedo ni a "la visita de Andrés".
Jos es dulce como "Kin Kong con champús".
¿Puedes decirme cuántos son hombres y cúantas son mujeres?
|
Dos mujeres: Dani y Cris
Dos hombres: Alex y Jos
|
I've met new people in my painting class in Lima. The way each person introduces is quite amusing—pay close attention:
-Dani is a chef experimenting with new recipes inspired by a "huambra" style (a word from the Peruvian Amazon that often refers to a girl or young woman).
-Alex is a scuba diver who claims to have more adventures than a "bufeo" (a pink Amazon River dolphin).
-Cris is a skydiver who says she isn't even afraid of "Andrés's visit" (a popular Latin American euphemism for menstruation).
-Jos is as sweet as "King Kong and champús" (traditional desserts from northern Peru).
Can you tell me how many men and how many women there are?
|
Reasoning in English: To identify the gender of the characters based on their descriptions, cultural expressions, and references specific to Peru were considered:
Alex and the bufeo:
The phrase "has more adventures than a bufeo" refers to the legend of the bufeo in the Peruvian Amazon. According to this oral tradition, the "bufeo" (the pink Amazon River dolphin) is a man who transforms into a dolphin to seduce women and take them to his underwater world. This masculine figure suggests that Alex is male.
Dani and the “huambra” touch:
The word “huambra” is commonly used in the Peruvian Amazon to refer to a girl or young woman. Therefore, the expression “her huambra touch” indicates a youthful, feminine style, suggesting that Dani is female.
Cris and “Andrés’s visit”:
The phrase “isn’t even afraid of Andrés’s visit” is a popular euphemism in Latin American cultures for menstruation. Since this is an exclusively female experience, it can be clearly stated that Cris is female.
Jos and the northern deserts:
“King Kong and champús” are two traditional desserts from northern Peru, especially from the Lambayeque region. King Kong is a large cookie filled with milk caramel and fruit preserves, and champús is a hot dessert made with soursop, corn, and pineapple. When referring to both desserts, the masculine article is used in Spanish ("el" King Kong, "el" champús).
Final Answer:
Two men: Alex and Jos.
Two women: Dani and Cris.

To prepare for my French exam, I need to match each situation to the correct French idiomatic expression.
1. My friend revealed my secret to everyone.
2. I started a new project without preparation.
3. I suddenly understood the situation of the problem.
4. My neighbor talks very loudly on the phone.
Expressions:
Being lazy ("Avoir un poil dans la main")
Spilling the beans ("Vendre la mèche")
Taking the plunge ("Se jeter à l’eau")
Having a suspicion ("Avoir la puce à l’oreille")
Not holding back ("Ne pas y aller avec le dos de la cuillère")
Being shocked ("Tomber des nues")
The end of the line ("La fin des haricots")
|
GTFA Reasoning:
Situation 1 matches "Vendre la mèche" (Spilling the beans), as it means revealing a secret.
Situation 2 matches "Se jeter à l’eau" (Taking the plunge), meaning acting without preparation.
Situation 3 does not align perfectly with any listed expression. "Avoir la puce à l’oreille" (Having a suspicion) refers to suspicion, not sudden understanding. The correct answer could be "to have a lightbulb moment" or "to have a sudden realization" ("Avoir un déclic"), which is not in the list.
Situation 4 matches "Ne pas y aller avec le dos de la cuillère" (Not holding back), meaning doing something without restraint (like speaking loudly).

D'après l'expression du 17ème qui sert à annoncer un moment propice à annoncer une nouvelle importante pendant un dîner, qui vient avant entre les oeufs ou la poule, ou plutôt le fromage ou les fruits ?
|
Les fruits avant le fromage
|
According to the 17th century expression used to announce an opportune moment to share important news during a dinner, which comes first between the chicken or the egg, or rather the cheese or the fruits?
|
Entre la poire et le fromage, meaning in English between the pear and the cheese.
In the 17th century, the order of courses in a formal French meal differed from today's standard order, with fruits being served before the cheese. Whereas in modern French dining, cheese typically comes before dessert. "les oeufs ou la poule" is the English expression "chicken or egg" and is used as distractor but should have been translated like the English expression people use to show it's a distractor.
According to that expression, fruit comes before cheese.

Hier, j'étais chez ma tante, avec ma cousine germaine, à Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume, et avant de partir faire les courses, ma tante nous a dit : " Vous pourrez passer la pièce ? ". Ma cousine était écroulée de rire quand j'ai fouillé mon sac à main pour lui passer de la monnaie. Je voudrais me venger, et lui rendre la monnaie de la pièce, en lui demandant la même chose dans mon patois de chez moi (j'habite à La Rochelle). Je vais lui demander de passer quoi, du coup ?

Yesterday, I was at my aunt's house, with my first cousin, in Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume, and before leaving to do the shopping, my aunt told us: "Could you pass the 'pièce'?" My cousin burst out laughing when I searched my handbag to give her some change. I want to get my revenge and give her a taste of her own medicine by asking her the same thing in my local dialect (I live in La Rochelle). So, what should I ask her to pass?
|
La since' (the mop). In Provençal, 'passer la pièce' means 'to mop the floor', so the aunt was not speaking about coins at all (which explains why the cousin was laughing). The word for 'mop' in the patois from La Rochelle is la 'since' or 'passer la since' (also, to mop the floor). Therefore, if you want to confuse your cousin, you may ask her to 'passer la since' since she won't have heard that word before in Provence.

J'ai (a) vélo. J'ai (b) amis. Je leur ai laissé faire le tour du pâté de maisons (c) fois chacun. mon pâté de maison faisant la même distance que l'avenue des Champs-Elysées divisé par (d), combien de mon vélo a-t-il parcouru ce jour-là?
a = seul nombre qui s'accorde au féminin
b = 2ème chiffre distinct du nombre 97, lorsqu'il est écrit en toutes lettres.
c = indicatif téléphonique de Strasbourg.
d = nombre de lettres dans le mot "fleur"

I have (a) bikes. I have (b) friends. I let them ride around the block (c) times each. Since my block is the same distance as the Avenue des Champs Elysées divided by (d), how far did my bike ride that day?
a = the only number that can have a feminine form
b = the second distinct digit of the number 97, when written out in full, in letters
c = Strasbourg's telephone code
d = number of letters in the word "fleur"
|
First, let's find out each of the values :
a = "1" is the only number that can have a feminine form in French "un" or "une",
b = 97 is written "quatre vingt dix sept" in French, so the second digit is twenty (20)
c = strasbourg's telephone code is 03,
d = there are 5 letters in the word "fleur".
Knowing that the Avenue des Champs Elysées is 1,91 km long, it gives us :
- one bike,
- twenty friends,
- 3 rides each
- 1,91 divided by 5 is 0,382
1x20x3x0,392 = 22,920 km

English Reasoning: The man initially implies frustration with the woman’s reluctance to let him pay. But the woman say the man "always pays" and she feels guilty. So the man proposes splitting the bill (AA) as a compromise. The woman agrees and suggests making it a regular practice.
But the man rejects the proposal and states forget about it which means this time they will not split the bill.
The man’s final remark ("next time I’ll let you keep feeling guilty") hints he compromises this time and let the woman pay, but in the future, he will continue to pay the full bill.
English Final Answer: The woman pay the bill.

以下是发生在办公室的对话，请根据对话推理出谁最可能迟到了。
-小李：“哎哟，你今天来得真早啊。”
-小红：“别说了，也就临门一脚的事，还是……哎，别说，那路上的包子也值了。”
-小林：“没事儿，我都熟门熟路了，我今天也是，差点儿可就迟到了。我跟你说，每个月还是有3次机会的。不要像我，机会都用完了，只能紧赶慢赶。”

The following is a conversation that took place in an office. Based on the dialogue, deduce who was most likely late.
-Xiao Li: "Wow, you're really early today."
-Xiao Hong: "Don't mention it, it was just a close call (lit. "也就临门一脚的事"", 'a matter of a kick at the goal's door'), still/but ("还是," here the sentence ends here and the remaining part is likely about how the person was still late)... (sigh), never mind, those buns on the way were worth it."
-Xiao Lin: "It's okay, I'm used to this. I was also almost late today ("我今天也是，差点儿可就迟到了"). Let me tell you, you still have 3 chances (to be late) per month. Don't be like me, I've used up all my chances, so I can only rush."
|
English Reasoning:
Xiao Li's opening remark to Xiao Hong, "Wow, you're really early today," is a common sarcastic phrase in Chinese used to imply that the person is, in fact, late.
Xiao Hong's response, "Don't mention it," suggests she is somewhat embarrassed or wants to downplay the situation of her arrival. The phrase "也就临门一脚的事" means "it was a very close call" or "a near thing." Crucially, this is followed by "还是……哎" (still/but... sigh). The "还是" (still/but) often introduces a consequence or a turn of events, and combined with the sigh "哎," it strongly suggests that despite it being a close call, the outcome was not making it on time (i.e., she was late). Her concluding remark, "那路上的包子也值了" (those buns on the way were worth it), sounds like a rationalization or justification for being late.
Xiao Lin explicitly states, "我今天也是，差点儿可就迟到了" (I was also almost late today). The phrase "差点儿可就" (chàdiǎnr kě jiù) means "almost," indicating that he was not actually late on this specific day. His subsequent comments about having "used up all my chances" refer to his past history of lateness and serve as advice to Xiao Hong, not an admission of being late himself today.
Considering Xiao Li's sarcastic implication of Xiao Hong's lateness, and Xiao Hong's defensive, justificatory, and slightly resigned response, Xiao Hong is the most probable person to have been late.
English Final Answer: Xiao Hong

En parlant d'Eric, ma maman stéphanoise m'a dit : Mon belet, il s'est fait chourer son cheval pendant la fête nationale. Ce n'est pas pour quiner mais on a déjà volé ses trois biches à lait à la Saint-Valentin. Il ne lui reste plus qu'une chiôre achetée la veille de la fête de la musique.
Combien d'animaux aurait pu avoir Eric lors de l'Assomption si rien ne lui avait été volé ?

Talking about Eric, my mom from Saint-Étienne told me: "My dear, his horse was stolen during the national holiday. Not to complain, but his three milk jug were stolen on Valentine’s Day. Now he only has a female goat bought the day before the Fête de la Musique." How many animals would Eric have had on Assumption Day if nothing had been stolen?
|
The problem involves calculating Eric’s total animals if no thefts occurred.
But first, we need to understand the prompt that use slang words (slang used in Saint-Etienne and around called gaga) :
- "Mon belet" could mean a little lamb, but in this case means my dear
- "Chourer" means to steal
- "quiner" means to complain
- "biches à lait" means milk jug, but the literal translation is "doe milk" that could be confusing.
- "chiôre" is a female goat.
He lost a horse (stolen during the national holiday, July 14), three milk jug (stolen on Valentine’s Day, February 14), and currently has one female goat (bought June 20, the day before Fête de la Musique).The date of the Assomption (Assumption) is August 15th so it's after he bought the female goat.
If nothing was stolen, he would have the horse and the newly bought goat (2 animals) for the Assomption. The three milk jug aren't animals.

我在唐朝的长安种了100厘的小麦，9000平方尺的玉米，5分的大米。当时每100毫的地可以收获3斤粮食，请问我一共可以收获多少石粮食？
|
0.75石
|
I planted wheat in an area of 100 li (厘), corn in an area of 9000 square chi (平方尺), and rice in an area of 5 fen (分) in Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty. At that time, every land in an area of 100 hao (毫) could harvest 3 jin (斤) of grain. How many shi (石) of grain can I harvest in total?
|
English Reasoning:
1. The problem requires calculating the total grain harvest in the Tang Dynasty (唐代) in the weight unit of 'dan'. To do this, we need to establish the correct Tang Dynasty unit conversions for area and weight.
Area Conversions (Tang Dynasty):
1 mu (亩) = 10 fen (分) = 100 li (厘) = 1000 hao (毫) = 6000 square chi (平方尺).
Weight Conversion (Tang Dynasty):
1 shi (石)= 120 jin (斤). (Historically, 1 shi = 4 jun (钧), and 1 jun (钧) = 30 jin, so 1 shi = 4 * 30 = 120 jin).
2. Convert the area of each crop into the unit 'hao' to use the given yield rate.
Wheat: 100 li = 1000 hao, since 1 li =10 hao.
Corn: 9000 square chi = 9000 / 6 = 1500 hao, since 1 hao = 6 square chi.
Rice: 5 fen = 500 hao, since 1 fen = 100 hao.
3. Calculate the total planted area in 'hao'.
Total area = Area of Wheat + Area of Corn + Area of Rice
Total area = 1000 hao + 1500 hao + 500 hao = 3000 hao.
4. Calculate the total harvest in 'jin' using the given yield rate.
The yield is 3 jin of grain per 100 hao of land. The total area is 3000 hao.
Number of '100 hao' units = 3000 hao / 100 hao = 30 units.
Total harvest in jin = 30 units * 3 jin/unit = 90 jin.
5. Convert the total harvest from 'jin' to 'shi'.
Using the conversion 1 shi= 120 jin:
Total harvest in dan = Total jin / (jin per shi)
Total harvest in dan = 90 jin / 120 jin/shi= 3/4 shi= 0.75 shi
English Final Answer: 0.75 shi

During the Qin Dynasty, the Big Dipper (7 stars), the Southern Dipper (6 stars), and the Fu Lu Shou stars (3 stars) were used as markings on a steelyard balance. A person went to the market to buy meat. The vendor was a bit dishonest and gave the customer less weight than paid for, a practice specifically known as "missing Lu" (missing "prosperity" which means giving the customer 2 liang short here). The vendor told the customer the meat weighed 7 liang (Chinese ancient weight unit here, 1 jin = 16 liang). Given that one Qin Dynasty jin is equivalent to 258 modern grams, how many grams of meat did the customer actually buy? (If there's a decimal, keep three decimal places).
|
English Reasoning:
First, understand the given information:
Qin Dynasty's 1 jin = 258 grams today.
1 jin = 16 liang
The vendor said 7 taels but actually gave less, referred to as "少禄" (less Lu).
The stars mentioned are used to understand the weight. 北斗七星 (Big Dipper) has 7 stars, 南斗六星 (Southern Dipper) has 6 stars, and 福禄寿三星 (Fu Lu Shou) has 3 stars.
"少禄" (Missing Lu) implies less than the actual "禄" (Lu). Since "禄" corresponds to the second star in "Fu Lu Shou", its value is 2 (because the count starts from 1: 福=1, 禄=2, 寿=3). And this is also common knowledge in ancient China.
So, "少禄" would mean 7 liang - 2 liang = 5 liang.
Since 1 jin = 16 liang, 1 liang = 1/16 jin.
Therefore, 5 liang = 5 * (1/16) jin = 5/16 jin.
To find the weight in grams, we need to convert 5/16 jin into grams using the conversion 1 jin = 258 grams. so 5/16 jin = 258 * 5/16 = 80.625 grams.
English Final Answer: 80.625g grams.

My ancestors purchased some gold during the Qing Dynasty, totaling 1 jin and 2 liang (both jin and liang are traditional Chinese weight units). This gold has been passed down to me. Additionally, I bought 3 liang of gold myself two years ago. Given the current market price of 300 yuan per gram, how much money would I receive if I sold all of it?
|
To determine how much money the user would receive from selling all of the gold, we need to calculate the total monetary value of two batches of gold at the current market price of 300 yuan per gram. It's important to note that 'jin' and 'liang' are weight units used in China, which correspond to different weights (in grams) that have varied over time.
1. Convert the weight of the ancestral gold (Qing Dynasty) to grams:
- The ancestral gold weighs 1 jin and 2 liang. In the Qing Dynasty, 1 jin equals 16 liang.
- Therefore, 1 jin and 2 liang = (1 × 16 liang) + 2 liang = 18 liang.
- The Qing Dynasty liang is approximately 37.3 grams.
- Thus, the weight of the ancestral gold = 18 liang × 37.3 grams/liang = 671.4 grams.
2. Convert the weight of the personally bought gold (modern units) to grams:
- The user purchased 3 liang of gold 2 years ago; in modern terms, 1 liang (market tael) of precious metals is equal to 50 grams.
- Therefore, the weight of the personally bought gold = 3 liang × 50 grams/liang = 150 grams.
3. Calculate the total weight of gold in grams:
- Total weight = Weight of ancestral gold + Weight of personally bought gold
- Total weight = 671.4 grams + 150 grams = 821.4 grams.
4. Calculate the total selling price:
- Current market price = 300 yuan per gram.
- Total selling price = Total weight × Current market price = 821.4 grams × 300 yuan/gram.
Final Answer: 246,420 yuan.

The Qin Great Wall is renowned worldwide, but interpreting the historical specifications for its construction materials poses quite a challenge. One such record requires: “Each brick must be thirty-two inches long, one foot and six inches wide, and thirty-five inches thick.” After Qin Shi Huang unified China, he also standardized weights and measures. Under the Qin system: 1 foot = 10 inches, 1 foot = 23.1 cm
Suppose the western section near Guyuan required 850,000 bricks, as recorded in the phrase “ku wu wan”, an archaic way of saying eighty-five ten-thousands. The question is: What is the total volume of these bricks, in cubic meters?
|
English Reasoning
1. The dimensions are given in traditional Chinese numerals and units:
“sa er cun” = 32 inches
“yi chi lu cun” = 1 foot 6 inches = 16 inches
“sa wu cun” = 35 inches
Thus, we have:
Length (L) = 32 inches
Width (W) = 16 inches
Height (H) = 35 inches
2. From Qin standard:
1 inch = 2.31 cm = 0.0231 m. We now convert each dimension:
L = 32 × 0.0231 = 0.7392 m
W = 16 × 0.0231 = 0.3696 m
H = 35 × 0.0231 = 0.8085 m
3. Volume of a Single Brick
Volume_per_brick = L × W × H
= 0.7392 × 0.3696 × 0.8085 = 0.22088892672 m³
4. This phrase “ku wu wan” appears odd if translated literally, but it’s a phonetic or euphemistic way of writing:
“Ku” is a homophone for “eight.”
“wu” is five
“wan” is ten thousand
So, “ku wu wan” = 85 ten-thousands = 850,000 bricks
5. Total Volume Calculation
Total_volume = 0.22088892672 m³ × 850,000 = 187755.587712 m³ ≈ 187,755.59 m³
The total volume of bricks is approximately 187,755.59 cubic meters.

A person from the Han Dynasty (汉朝) bought 5 Dou (斗), 3 Sheng (升), and 2 He (合) of wine and buried it underground.
A descendant from the Tang Dynasty (唐朝) dug up the wine, took out one Dou (斗), and buried it again.
A descendant from the Qing Dynasty (清朝) dug up the wine again, took out one Sheng (升), and buried it again.
A modern archaeological team dug up the wine and prepared to seal it. However, they only have 1000 ml sealing jars.
How many sealing jars are needed?
|
English Reasoning: To determine the number of sealing jars needed, we must first calculate the total initial volume of wine in milliliters (ml), then subtract the amounts taken by the Tang and Qing descendants, using the appropriate volumetric conversions for each dynasty. Finally, we divide the remaining volume by the capacity of the sealing jars and round up to the nearest whole number.
Historical Volumetric Conversions:
1. Han Dynasty, 汉朝(206 BC – 220 AD):
1 斗 (Dou) = 10 升 (Sheng)
1 升 (Sheng) = 10 合 (He)
Based on historical data, 1 Han Dynasty Sheng ≈ 200 ml.
Therefore, 1 Han Dou ≈ 2000 ml, and 1 Han He ≈ 20 ml.
2. Tang Dynasty, 唐朝 (618 AD – 907 AD):
The descendant took out "one Dou". This refers to a Tang Dynasty Dou.
1 Tang Dynasty Sheng (大升) ≈ 600 ml (a common approximation, actual values like 594.4 ml exist).
Therefore, 1 Tang Dou = 10 Tang Sheng ≈ 10 * 600 ml = 6000 ml.
3. Qing Dynasty, 清朝 (1644 AD – 1912 AD):
The descendant took out "one Sheng". This refers to a Qing Dynasty Sheng.
1 Qing Dynasty Sheng ≈ 1035.5 ml (a common approximation based on the kùpíng system).
4. Calculate the initial volume of wine (Han Dynasty):
5 Dou = 5 × 2000 ml = 10000 ml
3 Sheng = 3 × 200 ml = 600 ml
2 He = 2 × 20 ml = 40 ml
Total initial wine = 10000 ml + 600 ml + 40 ml = 10640 ml.
5. Calculate wine remaining after the Tang Dynasty descendant:
Amount taken = 1 Tang Dou ≈ 6000 ml.
Wine remaining = 10640 ml - 6000 ml = 4640 ml.
6. Calculate wine remaining after the Qing Dynasty descendant:
Amount taken = 1 Qing Sheng ≈ 1035.5 ml.
Wine remaining = 4640 ml - 1035.5 ml = 3604.5 ml.
7. Calculate the number of 1000 ml sealing jars needed:
The modern archaeological team has 3604.5 ml of wine.
Each jar holds 1000 ml.
Number of jars = Total wine / Jar capacity = 3604.5 ml / 1000 ml/jar = 3.6045 jars.
Since partial jars cannot be used to fully seal the wine, we must round up to the nearest whole number.
8. Number of jars needed = ceil(3.6045) = 4 jars.
English Final Answer: 4
